So, preseason training started yesterday.

I think we can safely assume our girls are training the house down!

But I'll try to get down to a session at some point, and if so, will post a report of some kind here.

 

It seems training support has gone up a few notches:  "A countdown clock with siren for skill drills, music blaring from loudspeakers behind the southern end goals and even a drone filming running patterns weren't the only changes to Melbourne's first night back".

Kudos to Daisy and the other 19 players who self-funded a five-day camp in Sydney.  Shows real commitment to the team and to each other.  That can't help but impact teamwork on game day.

Update on 'Rocky' Cranston from the MFC website:

As much as I liked her 'crash and bash' style (as she puts it) in the first season I'm glad to know she's putting in the hard yards to round out her game. The more contests she can get her physicality to the better for the team.

Good story, committed to the cause. Go Rocky!
