And then 

Dustin Martin is known as a poor trainer. Some of his teammates joke than he can't bench more than 90 kgs, yet he can push off a rhino with one hand at full tilt.

 

 

 

This is not correct at all. Dusty possesses freakish natural power, agility and acceleration.

I am aware he does a lot of cardio and endurance work.

All players have specifically modified programmes for their particular needs

Homesickness and anxiety. 

When he returned to the club after his month off in Victoria during the season, he apparently came back in prime physical condition. Good to see he didn't slacken off.

I enjoy reading that the deal is done, when we keep hearing that the clubs are arguing over the price.

    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.
