Viney in full training. Looked a million bucks! Barely a rehab group - Jones, Jetta, Tyson and Balic on light duties. All moved well. VDB only notable absentee.

Great, but I really feel for Vanders. He can be a great player with plenty of 'drive' for the footy.

A no show

37 training full session, 4 on light duties and 3 missing, depth in abundance

Although Nibbler may have tweaked something

Sigh. A week of talking him up and now he is broken. Us MFC supporters have a preternatural ability like that.

(JACK WATTS!!!! YOU ARE AWESOME!!! WE MISS YOU!!!)

Am I doing it right?

7 news talking injuries to Lewis and Jones...Jones with sore back. Any update on Nibbles 'tweak'

Jonesy was running and kicking in rehab, so can't be that bad, Nibbler pulled out of main session and did some rehab

As explained before, slightest niggle they have to report

And as somebody elses stated Viney looks cherry ripe to go

And presumably throw them into rehab - whilst i understand that when 4 points are on the line you send a player into a game with a niggle or underdone but no club would be risking players on the training track or a practice game if they had the slightest niggle. Makes no sense to do so.

I think the point that Saty has been making is that under previous coaches (meaning pre-Roos), players did not disclose when they had any niggles so kept training to their own, and the team's, potential longer-term detriment.

sometimes the players aren't the sharpest tools in the shed but i guess they do get nervous with competition for spots.

The sports scientists and fitness guys are very good at the Club, they continually watch the players, especially those returning from injury

I"ve also asked, if you 'hide' something and you are subsequently found out, it's botty smacking from a great height

Out of interest how do you smack a botty from a great height (there's a phrase i would never thought i'd ever be writing - probably best not to google it, at least at work)? With long arms?

Anyone know if Bullen was in full training or in rehab?

Saty said he may have tweaked something on Wednesday.

Mr Double Hyphen, if anyone should know about hyphenated names I would think it would be you. It is Neal-Bullen

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    TRAINING: Wednesday 5th February 2025

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. 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
