Never thought i would miss footy so much.

I am even happy to get a completely biased, "rose coloured glasses" training report at the moment.

Still doubt we will play more than a few games this year, if any.

All subject to government relaxing the current restrictions within that time and then there are the players who are living back in their home states.

that's a big if in my opinion.

So, are we calling it an interrupted pre-season in case we do return?

Mr Andrews said the state of emergency was now due to expire at midnight on May 11. It had been due to expire on April 13.

So, May 12th at best, for the next training report, lads.

Hope you’re all ok

MFC is a workplace and can continue while social distancing is practiced.

Read recently that one of the big EPL clubs are practising in groups of four passing etc. They have separate fields and separate change rooms for each group. Of course these clubs have mega facilities that allow such activity.

I wonder which of the AFL clubs will be the first to try this type of training. As Gosch's paddock is an open field I cannot see it working there but Casey which has two adjoining ovals is a possibility.

Is there any truth in the rumour the the AFL are considering rule changes.? To get the game going.?

 

That they might think that due to OH&S,    they have to Ban tackling,  pushing,  shoving,  jumping on another's back,  bumping,  kissing - Jako,  and definitely NO touching.!  NO RUCKMEN.

You can run with ball,  dribble along ground,  kick ball in the air,  hit ball with head,  handpass ball,  catch ball,  and shepherd from 1.5Mtrs.   ?
