Warning: I'm going to training today with @Bitter but optimistic. 

I'm very fearful of what outrageous get up he'll be sporting. 

Won't be difficult for trackwatchers to spot him. 

More later.

My egg and bacon sandwich is delicious

The coffee is not too bad either

 

Going to be a warm and windy session, and that's just me

On days of extreme heat and wind, don't know why you would not bring forward training to an earlier time, such as 8.00 and be finished by 10.00. 

If I was planning to run or ride my bike this morning I would be out early.

Just heard Tmac will play on Sunday in Shep. Boys just started doing some run throughs.

[Moonshadow 16,157]

The wind is strong but quite fresh still.

KK and Hannan running/walking laps

Tmac reckons he'll play vs Tigers, I asked him

[Moonshadow 16,157]

Oscar Baker took Max down in match sim tackle. Gave him a bit of lip too. Good on him

Caught up with BBO. What a disgrace. Took 10 mins to get away from him...

[Moonshadow 16,157]

Tim Smith getting his lower right leg looked at. 

Match sim quite impressive given the strong breeze. Max took a towering mark 25 out. Tmac running quite freely, no strapping on knees

Hope these were supplied by the MFC as official AFL sanctioned gear.

Didn't realise KK was still so hampered by his injury. Looks unlikely for round 1. Saty or Moony can you try and whisper in his ear or whatever and find out when he thinks he'll be playing.

Thanks for the reports. Getting down to the pointy end now.

Thanks moon.

Who out of the following were in match sim; Viney, Oliver, Jones, Melksham, May?

[Moonshadow 16,157]

T Smith walking back to AAMI.

Loving the energy of Baker and Fritter

I thought it was common knowledge that KK would struggle to make Round 1. I think we might even see Lever before KK.

All, I think. Hard to spot everyone when they have caps on and some with white vests

All of them were that I saw. 

KK said that he pulled up a bit tight last week. So they’ll back it off for a week or two then build him back up. Didn’t say exactly when as he probably doesn’t know himself. I guess we’ll have to wait and see how much progress he makes in the next few weeks.

[Moonshadow 16,157]

Tell you what, Kade Chandler has a beautiful left foot. He was doing a skills sess on the side with Bradke and Bedford. Nailed it every time

Were the other rookies (James Jordon and Tom Sparrow) taking part in the match simulation?

[Ethan Tremblay 28,343]

Cheers @Moonshadow and @Megatron.

I think so Andy. Jordan has a very good size about him in terms of build.

Saw Milkshake take a couple of ripping contested marks in the sim. After one of them he turned and speared a 50m pass inwards to Weid (I think). A thing of beauty

[Moonshadow 16,157]

Got to say, nearly everything JKH had done had been very good. 

 

[Moonshadow 16,157]

Chandler might be small, but he can fly! Climbed over Bedford to take a terrific mark

I agree Moon. I reckon he’ll have a breakout year. He played some good games toward the end of last year and he was just about our best in the practice match last week. He looked the goods today.

I really like the little I have seen and heard of Chandler.  We seem to be drafting players that have had to work bloody hard to get a chance (AVB, Frisch, Sparrow), and with pretty good results.  Chandler seems to also fit that bill.

Keen to see him in a game situation because from what I've seen of him at training he's energetic and has clean skills. That's a nice combination.
