Melbourne Football Club Training - November, 2015

[Members' Wing 1,106]

Jetta and Salem were his two main pin ups weren't they? They're still kicking around.

I hope he's enjoying his new job and doesn't have to tolerate too many lemon sucking hair shirt wearers.

And Howe. Wished him well when he left which nearly made me throw up.

[chook fowler 19,694]

As long as we train the house down and have really good training standards then that is all that matters!

Plus no injuries

[Nasher 33,617]

Plus no injuries

Yep - if we can avoid having our shiny new prized recruit doing his ACL at training this year, that'd be swell.

[McQueen 17,867]

Lazy buggers.

We started preseason tonight.

45 minutes of 9's followed by 4 stubbies.

Misson has no idea.

Shouldn't that be elite training standards?

C'mon Jaded, get down there at 9 just to make sure you don't miss any of the action!!!

Are the Rams going back to LA G?

[hardtack 10,851]

Don't forget the scooter, Lycra and beard.

In all fairness, Saty never wore the lycra... that was someone else who would turn up on a cycle.

Why shouldn't he wish him well?

[Gorgoroth 13,184]

I hope not, but I wouldn't be surprised if they did.

The problem with his training reports was that you weren't allowed to have an opinion of a player if you weren't at training, even if that player had played over 100 games.

Or that you were a coward for not giving this feedback to the player's face because, you know, that's what supporters do.

[Wiseblood 24,637]

Don't talk to the players and get any interesting goss cos you'll be accused of being an apologist. Don't give any opinions cos you'll be accused of knowing nothing about footy. And don't favour anyone or you'll be accused of having favourites. And don't tell us that we've improved because you'll be told "it's only training".

Really looking forward to your reports!

I look forward to her reports where she just reports on what happens, in terms of what drills we are doing and what it looks like we are focusing on for 2016. That's all we want. The other stuff is useless, so thanks for making it clear for everyone else.

You know Bob...when they check out the nags at training they seldom bother to actually talk to the horses. Albeit they ll have a chat to the Jockeys for sure.. >Last I looked though the Jockeys had two legs and the horses 4...and do most of the work..so I'd be loading my perspective in that manner.

Point being ..You can make very good observations ...just by watching...If you know what to look for

I started to get angry again just thinking about it. Dude gave me the shits.

Come on WB, what's next: layout requirements and specifications on what Font to use?

People are free to attend training or not, and to post about it or not.

Then just put him on ignore.

FFS ...

You miss my point. I'm not being critical of attending, nor about people posting about it. It's the content. My opinion was simply that one poster in particular didn't actually spend any time reporting on training but would rather, at his 'peak', post simply about his discussions with players and his clamoring to take a shot of their 'guns'. Is that reporting on training? I think not.

But that's just my opinion, and as I said earlier, I know others will both agree and disagree. Such is life.

The more information that I get up at DT the better as far as I'm concerned. Old enough to PO what doesn't interest me....

[Lucifers Hero 40,509]

Saty doesn't post during the off-season (until training starts) so he is not on DL to defend himself.

So I feel a need to come to his defence (even tho I have him on 'Ignore'...too much unfriendly banter with other posters, for mine)

Here goes:

Saty is passionate about MFC

He volunteers his time to the club

He is very defensive of players and officers of the club...sometimes he goes overboard on this.

Sometimes he is quick to attack DL's who have a different view to his...

...he is not the only one on DL that has this affliction I might add!

He is quirky in his training reports and sometimes tells us stuff we don't care about.

He also gets under peoples skin and likes to antagonise.

But we can't doubt where his heart is and I think this years training reports will be the worse for his absence...Saty has a job so won't get to training often so he won't be making many training reports.

For some this is a blessing in disguise.

For others, especially non Melbourne residents it will be a great loss.

So maybe we should cull the anti Saty stuff; it is irrelevant and disrespectful and stick to training talk.

[Gator 17,969]

Satyricon is the most annoying poster I've come across in 13 years of posting. And his training reports were an utter waste of time.

That said, some like him and them.

There was no fairness, I do know it wasn't the great man Sats was just adding some Mayo, good lord.

[Cards13 9,117]

Ffs it goes back to Saty again. Give it a rest.
