I really hope Melbourne Storm aren't training tomorrow. Demonland will go into meltdown.

What a great country this is?

I've been away for a month and I come back, work for a day and then I have a long weekend.

I'm sure though that the club used to have training sessions on "Straya" Day in the past. I remember dropping in a few years ago to watch them at Gosch's Paddock so it wouldn't have been all that long ago.

It was to ensure the players/coaches and support staff had a break before Maroochydoor, from what I have been told it ain't gonna be a holiday

Sue, just wanted to clarify that this isn't a blue at all.  More a discussion than anything else, although I must admit much of what I'm 'discussing' has been done before.  I should know better.

If you had read what I posted you would quickly realise I haven't picked a fight at all, merely questioned an assertion you made re: selection on an earlier page.  Where have I picked a fight?  I haven't been rude, mean, derogatory etc.  I haven't even gone off topic as a large part of selection is based on training.

It just goes to show that you won't partake in a proper discussion with anybody, you would rather hide behind your 'opinion' argument than actually do it with maturity.

 

You go on ignore after this, a discussion is not where you say a persons opinion is completely incorrect and yours is right

I’m as bullish as anyone about our chances this year but that list doesn’t scream midfield dominance  over too many sides.

Jones, Oliver and Viney are a good starting group but after that young blokes with potential who are yet to prove themselves as full time mids (Petracca, Brayshaw and Salem), old blokes who are past their prime (Lewis and Vince), a few who are unlikely to be anymore than midfield pinch hitters (Hogan, Bugg, Baker, Maynard, Stretch, Melksham and Hannan). Then there is Tyson who can get the ball fine but would have to be one of the worst left foot kicks in the game. 

Across the 3 groups (backs, fwds, mids) it is the midfielders that concern me the most. 

Your definitely on drugs if you dont think we bat deep especially this year 12-14 can go through the guts.
