Roaming CHF is his go and I think this year he'll prove why he's been so highly rated. Combine that with TMac leading out from the goalsquare and Garlett and Petracca and our forward line looks like a strength for the first time since Neitz retired.

With Tommy Mc's aerobic capacity, don't you think it would be a waste just having him lead from the goal square like an old fashioned full fwd, it is 2018 after all

You will find Hogan and Tommy Mc rotating, which hopefully will be a mare to defend

Harrison Petty Concussed at camp. Glad it wasn't anyone else..

Bloody camps. It's outrageous. They shouldn't have them. Someone needs to ring the AFLPA. Just stick to Goschs. This would never have happened if they'd just stick to training there.

I agree IT! it is pissing down up there as well, made the ground slippery which would not have happened at Goschs where the weather is beautiful and firm under foot.

Insert why can't we have both gif

He was recruited as a key forward, he’s getting paid a key forwards and we need a key forward who excels in all aspects of the game that a forward of his size should.

Fark!  Can we just shut up about the camp thing?  Kid gets knocked out in a match sim, hope he is OK.  Its a tough game, and I want the Demons to play it tough.

Yeah, it would be nice if the guy (Danny Trejo) would revert to his Machette persona.

Agree, with Petracca and Max and the other mobile tall (Hannan?) they will all rotate forward and through the midfield at times and would make it very hard for opposition defenders.

I think we may go in with Tommy doing a bit of relief ruck work. Although not sure if he's been doing any ruck craft?

That would be a very unpredictable forward set up.

Any reports? Did anyone go 

Hi Brendan. I strolled down for a few hours this morning. It was a little bit wet which was annoying because I’d just bought a new pair of suede loafers that I was looking forward to breaking in. I think they look nice with white slacks which are cuffed at the bottom. I caught up with a Goody almost straight away. I noticed he was wearing the same polo shirt as he wore on the flight up. I asked if he only brought the one shirt on the trip, he just got up and walked away. He’s a bit of a jokester like that. 

The team split into two groups in preparation for a non-contact match simulation. Apparently Tyson forgot the bibs so they were deciding on how to differentiate between the teams, I yelled out that the team with Petracca should just go shirtless. 

After the game the players headed inside to the gym. I asked who could bench press the most, apparently Pedo and Frost are tied. Their max bench is about my weight so I said I’d be happy to have a bit of a competition between the two and see who could bench me. Unfortunately it was a closed door session so I had to leave.

Tommy Mc, Pedo and Kielty do a bit now and again to keep their hand in, so to speak

Feels like I was there.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
