At training on Friday Peddo was just in front of me and lifted his jumper to wipe his face.  I can tell you there is not one bit of fat on him, he looked ripped.

I was surprised to hear in the report he wasn't in good shape, I reckon it's rot. 

Watching that video I didn't feel as though Ben Guthrie was a very reliable source.

It looked a bit like a critique by numbers.  

1. mention the players who are tearing up the track

2. mention the ones who came back a bit under

3. mention the stars who are coming back from injury

We get more accurate info from Deespencer and Saty.

He has a job solely because his brother plays for the cats, an oxygen thief.

Is there a harder working MFC staffer than Crossy?  That pick up keeps giving in spades.

 

 

If Crossy was a dog, he'd be the best Aussie Kelpie in the land.

I think he may beg to differ if one takes past club alignment into account...

The fact that many of us look at Crossy and forget he played 200 games for the Scraggers shows how much he has taken to us.

And us to him.

Another example of brilliant people management since PJ has come on board. He wanted to play on. Was certainly fit enough to. But unfortunately he would have taken games away from young players. His retirement was managed in a way that was not only respectful but provided us the opportunity to keep him engaged at the club in a way that we get much of same benefit as if he had continued playing, primarily as a brilliant role model and mentor for the younger players. 

His role at the club also aligns with what he said he was interested in pursuing career wise post footy - sports science, fitness and conditioning. He gets to learn under Misson and build his career. And we get to keep him at the club. A win win. Not to bang on about the past but the contrast to how the retirement of J mac was handled could not be more stark.

Just on PJ, he is held in such high regard at the club that it has created a clothing range in his honor, surely the first footy boss to be honored in such a way:

Why am I thinking 'Donald Trump supporter' when I read this?

Go on racially stereotype me! I cant dance to save myself either.

I would have voted brexit as well to confirm your prejudices. 

Now my people have the nuclear codes - be polite

Good on you Dino, others here rely solely on their personalities.

Hopefully Trump will be like me and my various passwords, in so far as he can't remember the nuclear codes.

It looks like we've exhausted all reasonable matters for discussion about a training session that in the end involved one player from our list.

The training threads will continue when the team returns, presumable in the second week of January.

To all who contributed to the training threads enjoy the festive season and have a happy and healthy new year.
