Given the so-called boot camp is now off, my guess is there will be a sesh on Mon and Wed. If you are keen, give the club a tingle and they might let you know. Or check the mfc social media.

Btw, I read today of your user name being taken down by Minnie Driver. Ouch!

The players had a meeting and decided they will not be training. Ever.

So we (Mrs Worship aka "The Stalker) went down for our first training session for the season. Generally I thought the boys looked good and went through a solid session. As others have noticed in recent times training is at high intensity/speed for the most part and  you rarely see the ball hit the ground by comparison to other years. I particularly wanted to have a look at Lever, Balic, Maynard and the new boys. Lever is everything others have said, we're very happy with the addition. Balic had more size to him than I thought and didn't do a lot wrong. I think he is building nicely. Maynard with a full preseason will be pushing everyone for a permanent midfield role. Of the new "kids" Bayley Fritsch seemed to be in everything and that seemed to be by design ie a lot of players were looking for him and finding him. Also liked the look of "Krusty" although he appeared to be on limited time.

One piece of late info I overheard, which we're not happy about if true, is the absence of Hunt (a Stalker favorite) may be linked to a back injury and the word serious was mentioned.

Hunt looked very unhappy in the rehab group on Monday. Surely not.

Surely you can't be serious...

Without seeing a photo it might be Toby Bedford from Dandenong Stingrays. 

Believe Nev and has some involvement with the club and the club is aligned with the Next Gen Academy.

That sounds about right, has a bush pigtail, is built like Jeff Garlett, watched him gather a bouncing ball at high speed, smooth mover

Well training was on yesterday and it seems a lot of fun being had by all.

Great video!  Really like how the players were rapt for him.

Crikey, if Viney's foot is fully healed he will be unstoppable next year - and beware anyone who gets in his way!

Drove past training yesterday stuck in traffic on Punt Road. The boys drilled about 5 sweet kicks in a row in a half ground drill.

I hope the fitness staff didn't train them too hard and that they had a nice relaxing week leading into christmas.

My son and I will be back down in Melbourne from the 3rd to the 13th January inclusive, so we'll be attempting to get to whatever sessions are on during that period.
