Finished a job early and have to wait until 11:30 for my next meeting near the MCG. Driving up Punt road and noticed the club getting ready for training. Perfect!

Boys just walking out now

Bombers would be happy with that.

Yeah just a short sharp skills and runaround session. Today. Most looked fairly clean with disposals and good on the move. 

Viney probably wasn’t moving around as fast as he could have. 

Noticed Hunt was doing a lot of leading in the 50 and also lots of snaps at goal practice. 

Also generally we were practicing a fair bit of end to end quick transition play

How were the bombs into the forward line?

Hope they practiced this lots as they didn't seem to work last weekend.....

Sounds underwhelming Robbo but a humid morning and it is a day before the game so a tune-up is in order.

We will need run and sharp skills to beat the blood stained hirds.

Just a tune-up, Hemingway??  Based on the way the old bus was mis-firing in the first two games, I woulda thought something more akin to a complete engine overhaul might be in order!

Ho hum Barrie I agree, but it may take far too long for a complete engine overhaul.

Remember those handwritten signs on the back windows of cars, saying "running in, please pass."

Isn't that what was written on the banner that our blokes ran through before last week's game...?  LOL

Yes agreed Brownie. Not sure why we'd have forwards working on their leading. Vertical leaps or turn and running more appropriate.

Haha yes. Maybe even chasing people hopelessly back out of the forward line.

If only Jesse was here. He could teach the boys how to make a vain attempt to pull a free kick when completely outnumbered.

This tactic worked at least once every two games.

6 x forwards divided by 2 games equals 3 free kicks in front of goal!

Oh wait. We usually only have one forward in the forward 50 when going forward.

Same went for a lot of 'great' men - and women. He's also, unfortunately, associated with the Nazis which is total lunacy because he died in 1883 and most people who make this association seem to be unaware that the Nazis appeared in Germany in the 1920's...

May likely to be out for three games 

“He’s probably likely to miss the next three games - Essendon, Sydney and St Kilda,” Misson told Melbourne Media.

“He’s had some good improvement in the backend of this week which we’ve been encouraged by, but it’s about setting him up for a good year.”

Pretty crappy start if you ask me

And as most of those people know the Nazi party sprang from absolutely nowhere and had no interest in the themes of a lot of his music or his political and antisemitic writings on music.  Not total lunacy I'm afraid.
