I'm team Jack. I love his attitude, i love his desire, i love his aggressive nature. I think it takes a while to be a good captain, and i think he can be that, he has plenty of footy left in him and i think he will thrive now that there is no Nathan Jones, it's his capatincy now, Max might join, but its his.

 

Go back and watch his finals in 2018, coming off hardly any gametime or prep, he was huge. 

Watch his game vs West Coast 2017. Pretty much willed us across the line in that last quarter

I heard Gawn on SEN late in the year say he personally had his best pre-season ever last season but that is no good if he can't bring the rest of the squad with him. I'd expect there will be more pre-season catchups amongst players this year than ever to prove a point.

I'm glad Viney didn't take Petracca or May they would be to buoyant.

Fully agree re above, he'd also missed around 6-8 games earlier in the season with his foot and this was his second or third game back. He was also very good in our finals campaign last year. I feel is if Viney has been holding himself back a bit partly to manage his foot but also to build some continuity in his fitness base and conditioning over several seasons.

Petracca and Salem are currently on a training camp in the US. Kyle Dunkley has just joined them.

Saw recent photos of Salem and Trac and both looking in absolutely ripping nick.

Pre-season is on and we are training the house down!!

Seriously does beat the morbidity reading through Demonland late last season though.

If guys like Salem and Trac can get that extra bit of fitness and physical conditioning, watch out for the mighty Demons in 2020.

Nothing story but it is the off-season

So I went to see Zombieland 2 (7.5/10) at the Smithfield Cinema north of Cairns last week. Shopping in Woolies afterwards and the bloke walking past me In aisle 3 looks like the co-captain of the MFC. He was out of context so I don’t pay much attention but he bobs up again in aisle 5 and I have a better look and he is a dead ringer for Jack but he looks a bit too much like he has been in the top paddock for an AFL footballer (they always look slighter and skinnier than what you expect). 
Turns out it was him and I’m glad I didn’t know or I may have started talking football to him and then I would have been embarrassed to hassle him on his holidays.

Chook has been taking the [censored] all off season. Some of the posts are hilarious, but close enough to others to seem legit.

Hopefully Dr Brukner can shave some hip bone of Tracc, looks fat.

It's fantastic for a young player like Kyle Dunkley who's been in the system for 5 minutes and yet is making every minute count. Type of dedication and commitment you need at ypur club.

Can really see him starting off as that high half forward with bursts in the midfield. Bit like how James Harmes started hos career.

hmmm..... footy training in socks and sandals

Footy passion with fashion?

The boys are looking in great shape, above the ankles.

If anyone says Trac is overweight they are either blind in both eyes or are so biased against him they should resign as a Dees supporter.

Great signs of a useful 2 months since August. Now Trac can   practice his goalkicking from set positions  and not worry about his alleged fitness worries.
