I thought Max Rooke had moved on. Am I mistaken? 

He was definitely there.

    I am a fan of Jordon. I think he improved tremendously over 2019.

    He's one I'm watching closely. He's exactly what we're screaming out for.

    Preuss stayed back to do extra goal kicking and forward craft with Max Rooke. Preussy has lost considerable weight in the upper body and looking really fit.

    Skills, drills and role play. Might have a six-shooter in the hip pocket for 2020.

    On Jordan - not to derail - but he is 2 months older than Noah Anderson and 1 month older than Tom Green (pick 2 and 3ish from this year). You have to think another year in the under 18s and he would have been taken a little higher than 33.

    As far as I'm concerned either don't advertise that there's a training on or do it at the right time. I know the club has much bigger things to worry about but it's a multi-million dollar business with a truckload of employees, one of them can update the website.

    They're too busy ringing around at the moment trying to get us all to renew our memberships.

    I’m betting that Million Dollar Jack Martin was also a no show today. 

    But we did get a million dollar report from his brother @kev martin

    I agree, may have a lot of support from Clayton Oliver, as he seems to be paired up with him a fair bit.

    Do you see him as a replacement for Hibberd when the time comes?

    Yes, though haven't seen much of him in a game. Could see Hibberd being his mentor.

    Well, someone will have to replace him in a year or so and Jordon could be the one. 

    Jordon hasn't played a lot of footy and is getting better game by game.

    I could see him as a regular in 2021, when Jetta and Hibberd may be at the end, or gone.

    If we get Murray, he is another one who would be considered for the hbf.

    The coaches see him more as a mid that can play half back

    I was trying to think of players who have bulked up from year 1 to 2 as much as Jordon.

    I think I saw a photo of Jordon and I didn't think he had built up that much.

    Are there any pictures from training so far that someone can post here?

    Saty?

    Pruess could be our secret weapon in 2020... according to Burgess he's lost 8-10 kgs. He clearly showing the team and coaches that he wants to be in the 1sts next year and not stuck down in Casey. Same goes to Omac, he's looking much stronger in the shoulders.

    I do too. He has some of the skinniest legs I’ve seen on an AFL player. 

    Cameron Bruce struggled to put on any muscle.

    Another really good session

    For his admirers Joel Smith joined in some of the ball movement drills

    Hibberd in attendance, another one with a completely different body shape, looks super fit

    Viney, Gawn, Harmes there was well

    Weid, Hannan and Baker just light work

    Nietschke doesn't look too far off, so another new player, doing laps at full pace

    Petracca and Salem there, Trac was probably the stand out during the ball movement drills, Salem was his usual immaculate foot skills

    Another one who is looking good early on is Spargo, stronger and faster, did some really good ball distribution by foot

    Any sign of Langdon?

    No, expect next week, same with Tomlinson

     

    Has someone told you that?

    Given that he played in the GF he would still have a fair bit of time off I would imagine.

    I think in his first interview he said a few more weeks and back into it

    I doubt he would want to start later at a new club, unless he 'has to take' the extra time

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
