Hi guys hope to see u all there. I will be with my two girls. We will be having a look at training at the showgrounds. My eldest will be on a "field trip" with dad instead of at school. The school might not appreciate lessons in demonology!

Hey guys I'll be there as well!

I'll try and do a report. Does anyone knw what they will be doing on the Friday?

Rollo! I couldn't make it to Wangaratta but I'm waiting with bated breath for your report. What's happening over there man?

Obviously the chance we'll draft him is slim, but it's good to see the club letting a young talent like Ben McEvoy train with them ... an outstanding athletic ruck/KP prospect.

Posted

Hey, I have played bushies with Ben McEvoy and Daniel Boyle!

I really hope we pick up McEvoy! He is very tall, quick, great hands, great spring and can pick up a fair bit of the ball. He covers alot of territory too.

Boyle is a tough nut who is very quick but his decision making is a worry and his skills can let him down just a tad.

McEvoy would be my pick. great bloke too.

Also I'll try and do a report as I was there! It's all good news too!

C'mon get to it dazzler. Looking forward to it.

Ok, here its goes:-

Well first of all I must say it was the first time since 2000 (when they came to Barooga) that I got up close and personal, and by jeez they are all looking fit! I spoke to a heap of players but the one that really stood out for me is Jared Rivers. The guy is so laid back. He said that this year is the year where we make a big name of ourselves and that we should cement a top 4 spot.

This was the first time I have watched Melbourne train and I was hugely impressed!

Brock McLean looks like a million dollars and you just just have that feeling he will one day be captain. I have never seen someone so young who could give out orders and direct intsructions in the way that he did!

James Frawley is going to be one big unit and from watching him train I rate this kid highly! Yes, he does have an unco kicking style but the funny thing is he hit his target practically every time. He has that physique where he could turn out to be as big as Neitz or Holland one day. He will play this year mark my words.

Isaac Weetra is another who impressed me! He is very quick and has great skills, so I wouldn't be surprised if he played this year. I'm not gonna put a big head on this kid but I seriously reckon he has all the tools to become a very damaging player. I have a feeling just from watching him that he could be the next Travis Johnstone but quicker! He moves so well and just has that knack of being where the ball is.

Lynden Dunn moves a lot more like a midfielder than a forward which really surprised me! He hasn't really bulked up that much but he looks like he can really make an impact this year and eventually turn out to be a great player. He showed some good skills.

Well basically all the players trained really well! They all looked fit and healthy and very hungry for success. Yze, Miller, Brown and Robbo look like they will have a big year this year, and I have high hopes for these guys. Our young guys I reckon are just as good as anyone in the comp! Bate, McLean, Jones, Dunn, Bartram, CJ are all able to lift to another level this year.

Go Dees!

Nice effort there dazzledavey36 but could you tell me how Heath Neville and Daniel Hayes are going?

And how could I forget Jace Bode?

Posted

Sure will my good friend. Heath Neville is interesting as he has a bit of speed. From what i hear from match reports he plays on the back flank. One thing for sure is that he has got good skills from what I saw. He reminds me a bit of Daniel Bell ATM. If he can play a few games he could turn out to be a good player! He and Belly streaming out of our defence is something I can see happening one day. I have high hopes for this kid and I'm hoping he can play a senior game this year.

Didn't really notice much of Hayes but from what I saw he has a good turn of speed and has the freakish skills. If he could turn out like Davey then we have one damaging forward line!

Athletes vs footballers - take your pick? I for one would pick footballers! Jace Bode came to the club with an impressive record at under 18 level and a very impressive athletics career. but the downside is that he is definitely more an athlete! He just went through training and had that attitude where he looked as if he doesn't give a stuff. I was pretty disappointed and you would think given another year on the rookie list because of interstate crap or something he would be busting out of his skin! I hope not picking up Alywn Davey will not haunt us!

Only time will tell.

:lol:

Nice to see dazzler report on training instead of asking about it for a change!

I guess thats the positive of the community camps, all our fans up that part of the state were able to look at training and feel a bit more part of the pre-season. I'm sure many country fans make a lot of effort to get down and see the team play as much as they can during the season.

Posted

oh dont you worry guys il still be asking about my kids! lol nar but like i said i was highly impressed and pumped!

go dees!!

Posted

very quick!! and he is built up well during the summer, should play a couple of games this year and really has talent! his skills are a pleasure to watch and one thing also he aint afraid to hit a couple of hard bodys! if i had 2 compare him to someone it would be Brett Deledio but harder me thinks! cannot wait to see him play, very exciting

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
