No, expect next week, same with Tomlinson

 

Would love to see Gus on the track early looking hungry. Has he been training at elite facilities overseas like some of the others saty?

    Thanks for the training reports Sayy and the pictures, much appreciated. Someone asked if Jordan had bulked up but I am more interested in Sparrow. In know Burgess said last week that bulk isn't ideal for our game now perhaps he meant they need power and speed without the bulk. Back to Sparrow, last season one of the many commentators was asked, who of our crop of draftees would play senior games for MFC. Without hesitation he said Tom Sparrow who he thought was a steal. He likened him at the same stage to Dangerfield which of course is easy to say and Tom's year was cruelled by a knee injury. I would keep a close watch on this one as the pre season develops.

    Seemed to go on a 'war' tour visiting historic sites, think he is one that, as somebody else has said, would benefit from the mental break, he would still be doing what is required

    Interesting that Nate Jones hasn't appeared also

    316 years old. Never out of shape. Weight of leadership taken away from him. No rush for his old rig. Needs to be selfish for a year to get the max out of himself

    Robbie Flower also had the Coke bottle bottom glasses too. Not the first  impression of a great footballer.

    Our half-back line is going to look like an 80s porn film. I'll refrain from making any fisting jokes.

    Anyone prepared to take a guess at what's in the front of Fritsch's shorts in that photo with Dunkley? Ice? 

    I’d say white tape.

    Angle of photo + six-pack makes it look 3D.

    I am more concerned with Fritta and the impact pre season is having on him, he had a full head of hair yesterday

    Methinks he failed something in the games the boys play and the hair is the penalty

    I was going to mention the 'porn star ' moustache on Lever but now someone else has done it.

    Lever's got legs on him like a racing greyhound .

    Adds about 15 years to his age. I thought he was one of the coaches at first.

    Good to see Viney running around at this time of year, Sparrow is looking the goods and Hibbo is looking in terrific shape.

    Very early stages but some encouraging signs no doubt, compared to last year.

    The players are looking in great shape. Obviously sticking to the program has helped and getting an early start. Sparrow is shaping up to be a powerful unit.

    Will Sparrow play on Swallow in 2020?

    I'm having some difficulty getting my head around the idea of a "powerful sparrow".  Somehow, those words just don't seem to belong together...!

    I watched Sparrow drilling kicking skills with Crossy last year in the rehab.  He was keeping up with Cross in the precision factors.

    I thought he had very good skills.

    Now, there is a cross sparrow.

    Is Tom Sparrow exclusively an inside mid?

    Trying to workout how he gets  into the team if we have most of our first choice mids available

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
