After NAB 1 and 2 I thought that, but I think his performance in NAB 3 (which I thought was quite solid) has put him right in the picture to play.  I really didn't think he would be to AFL standard for the first half of the season, but I think things are looking good for him to debut this weekend.

I think he offers some real creativity and vision off half back, and I have a feeling he is playing the role the coaches give him very well.

All 3 NAB games and being part of the 18 running through match day scenarios on the eve of the season start?  I think he's very likely.

It'll be a great half back line this week with Hunt, Oscar McDonald & Wagner

Not for the players playing on Saturday, they used to have a light run the day before, but not since Roos took over, Casey have a praccy game as well some time over the weekend

Damn! We can't make it down from Sydney until Thursday afternoon and my son was hoping we could catch a training session :-(

Unfortunately we are without car (flying down), so Casey may be a bridge too far. Will put it to the boy depending on what public transport options are like.

Thanks for the report Spencer.  The info re: the 18 who were doing some of the main drills was very interesting indeed.  It doesn't mean all of them will get picked, as there were some very handy players who didn't take part, but it gives us a pretty clear idea as to who will be playing come Saturday.

I'll touch wood as I write this as well, but it's also terrific to see our injury list is pretty small for this time of the year.  Three wins and a small injury list is a great way to roll into Round 1!

Fantastico!!  Thanks for that info... do you happen to know what the kick off time might be? (I should probably look it up myself I suppose)

Not sure HT, i was just underscoring what the previous poster had said.  Check the club site I reckon.  Good luck, I will be in B@#$dy Ballarat for the weekend.

Saty, do you have any idea what time the Casey match at Goschs will kick off?  I did a quick search of the MelbourneFC site and couldn't find anything.

Thanks for asking...he's started running (but the shock of that gave him a touch of bursitis) and he had his first kick last Thursday...so coming along very nicely. He should be able to resume full training late April or early May.

Thanks very much for that...I didn't even think to look under training times (thick as two short planks am I)

Nah, when we're in Melbourne we always walk from the city to Goschs...it's quite a pleasant stroll along the Yarra.

I was down there for an hour or so.

Salem is still protecting his finger and not training at 100%, someone would have to be on stand-by, it must have been a fairly serious injury for him to carry it into a second week, and he will need to pass a fitness test later this week.

Also Oliver had a minor twinge in his lower calf by the end of the session. I would suggest it is very minor but given he is still a kid they may choose to rest him, not sure. They may choose to ease him off and re-hab him for a week, but if he doesn't play for the firsts I doubt if he'll play at Casey.

You guys are nailing these Jesus jokes.

 

I think it's time I intervened. You are being very naughty boys. We are about to witness the resurrection of the MFC and all you boys can do is make silly puns. Stop it now or the mighty one will smite you to the ground and send you to bed without your dinner. 

Now go and say three Hail Vineys and let's hear no more of this.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
