A swag of St. Kilda players went around today for the Casey Scorpions and all reported fit at the end of the game. Koschitzke kicked 3, Hayes played a half and did OK (didn't even get reported this week), Thompson, Hudghton, Voss, Fisher and Maguire all got through although not full games. It's probably a bit of a risk to play all of them plus Riewoldt on Friday night but who knows?

Also Fremantle's Robert Haddrill broke down with a knee injury in a club game in Perth and could need a reco. Its already been a bad year for knees and the season hasn't even started.

Yeah, but even though he's not played much, apparently he played pretty well. I rate Hayes enormously. In fact, I'd just about go as far as to say he's the Saint I'd be most worried about on match day if I was MFC coach.

I certainly hope that nobody at the club focusses their attention this week on whether or not some or all of these St. Kilda players under an injury cloud get up to play against us on Friday night.

It would be much better for us to concentrate on our game and not letting down our guard because we think the opposition might be underdone or not at full strength. I'm sure that's what the coaching staff and the players will be doing.

True, but they will be underdone, and so if our new fitness regime is really as good as what we've heard, we should run all over them in the last quarter.

Lyon is kidding himself if he thinks he has inhereted a list that is as physically strong as the Swans. Recent history would suggest that the

Saints are highly sensitive when it comes to injuries, and many of their players break down consistently, especially when played underdone. Maybe Lyon will pull out the tape from the last time we played each other, the same game where the Saints ended up having no bench. At least back then it was a must-win final. Friday night is only the beggining.

I just hope that Melbourne don't act as desperately as the Saints, and play Rivers, Pickett or Bartram if they are underdone. It's a long season!

Thats how I see it Jaded.

Word coming from St Kilda City F.C. (not far from the Junction) is that the demon players truly believe they are MUCH fitter than their Saints counterparts. Not just opposed to MFC but I heard they think the saints are seriously under done.

There is conjecture that the moorabbin boys and staff are also keenly feeling the loss of one Grant Thomas.

Almost to the point of not being as focused as their professionalism should ensure.

I must confess to only hearing "word of Mouth". Easy to believe when it sounds so good!

Leigh Fisher

Sam Gilbert

Lenny Hayes

Max Hudghton

Justin Koschitzke

Matthew Maquire

Andrew Thompson

Brett Voss

these players were all given permission to play with the Casey Scorpions this weekend, due to their interrupted preseasons ect

take out gilbert, but the rest of the players are pretty much top 22 (thompson not maybe)

throw in reiwoldt, hammil, raph clarke, gardiner, harvey who have all had crap pre seasons themselves

st kilda are looking at another waste of a year unless they can work out why injurys keep happening to their stars!!

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9.
