All top 3 draft picks in that photo.

It shows how much talent we now have.

Wish they would stop crackin gags though.

 

 

Viney beating up McDonald is no laughing matter.

boys will be boys.

Good to see training getting real. For far too long its been seen as playtime in the park. Now all and sundry might take a step back, have a think about what it is to play footy, for real, at the top level and get on with it.

Hopefully Jack saves some 'angry stuff' for opposition players !!

Jacko was/is a little bit 'special' :rolleyes:

Viney was just his usual overenthusiastic self. 

I thing we have some antler rucking here that's all. 

We move on

For me, it's clearly a by-product of the standards Viney is setting and the culture the club is trying to foster.

I can remember watching training under Bailey and Neeld and the players were stuffing about by playing tricks and games on one-another throughout the session and individual drills. Where's your head at when you're behaving like that?

What you do at training....

No wonder the coaches keep reinforcing the behaviour rhetoric.

Viney could've been given instruction to ruffle Tommys feathers for all we know.

The more competitive the team becomes, the more battle hardened individuals will need to become.

All that talent and not one A grader, maybe Frawley and he is gone. Who is the guy between Blease and Maric?

It's stunning how we managed to stuff up so many first round draft picks from that period - whether it be the player selected, development or otherwise.

The club seems to have landed on the right formula now: hard body and ultra competitive character. Roos' non negotiables.

He kicked 40 goals in his second season he can write he's own cheque, personally I think the AFL should look into some of Fremantles dealings there morals are extremely low.

Oh, yeah.  The "Integrity Branch" or whatever joke name they give it will do their usual under table, under carpet brushing.

So many non-competitive players drafted around that time. Scary really.

Thank christ the total opposite is happening under Roos.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
