TRAINING: Monday 14th December 2020

[Superunknown 4,225]

Laurie and Bowey look pretty ripped already eh.

Rosman with some weight will be a weapon.

How ripped is Trac looking, it's shocking. $ on him for Brownlow I think.

Petracca looks the same as last season. Not sure what you're looking at. 

How many times have you seen Rosman play just out of interest?

Fraser Rosman has the potential to be an absolute beast. He has a similar physique to Paddy Cripps.

[DeeZee 7,445]

Rosman looks like he would be a very hard match up on the wing with his height and pace and Bowey & Laurie  look very zippy and skillful

[Cards13 9,117]

Interesting the young(er) lads are bunking at other players houses inc Tmac and his wife and baby. It was billet families in times gone past. 
 

How AFL players have grown from part time trainers and players getting on the booze every weekend to full time trainers on the booze most weekends to full time pro’s in the off season letting lose.

The club has done this for the last few years. They have draftees stay with a team mate for the first week or so. I assume it's for things along the line of getting to know a team mate as a mentor, getting some tips on routine and a chance to ask all the questions they might be afraid to ask without that closer bond.

Probably just cuts down a lot of anxiety about when/what to eat, when to wake up, what to pack, which way to drive and where to park etc etc. Given all 3 are from SE Melbourne they'll probably all go back to living with mum and dad next week.

Agree. Rosman is a huge athlete. Pace. Endurance. Size. Can’t wait to see how he develops.
 

Bowey and Laurie. I think JT went for the most skilful kids available at our picks. Perhaps they are the two most skilled in the draft. Good signs.

His 1996 and 1997 seasons were write offs due to the back problems... a real shame as he was at the peak of his powers having kicked 77 and 79 goals in 94/95.

 His comeback in 1998 in Round 2 against North was one of my favorite Demon games ever.  He kicked 40 goals that season and helped us into the prelim final.

I still believe that Gary Lyon is hugely underrated by the footy world. 

Also missed the second half of the 89 season and bits and pieces through the early 90s.

[DeeZee 7,445]

Is it just me or does Rosman have really big knees?

Will be a couple m ore months at least until people start warming to footy properly again.

This year has ruined a lot of things for people.

Don't blame COVID & lockdown.  Melbourne Football Club have ruined football for me ?

i refuse to believe fraser rosman isn't actually 27 years old 

Kind of scary to think he's four or five years away from having a proper AFL physique according to conventional wisdom.  The kid will be a monster.

We are so frustrating and can't be trusted.   It's not pleasant watching them, it's a chore.

As a long time supporter I'm tired.

Tired of not seeing them fulfil potential.

Tired of seeing them drop games they should win.

Tired of watching subpar skills.

Tired of having [censored] Robbo as the game day hype man.

Tired of seeing Trac, Clarry and Brayshaw not got back and take their time off the mark.

Tired of seeing Melksham give away stupid 50s.

Tired of not seeing the club hire a vodou houngan to calm the uneasy spirit of Norm Smith. 

Tired of saying wtf happened to Tom McDonald

Tired of seeing spuds like ANB on the list

Tired of Greg Stafford being our goal kicking coach (pre-Choco)

 

Think of this as my MFC Festivus  - I got a lot of problems with you people!

Someone asked her for her negatives. 

I thought there was some humour (festivus) in the reply.

You could ask her for some positive aspects, maybe she will give out some more laughs.

Stay with us @deegirl

This is the year (2021), fingers crossed.

I’m tired of nuffs who think criticising the club is a crime

[WERRIDEE 5,544]

I contacted the club today about going to Casey and what time training would be. This is there response.

Thank yo for taking the time to contact us.

The team won't be training tomorrow and at this stage their won't be any open training sessions. You can see training sessions when they take  place from outside the fence but you can't enter or approach players on their way in or out before or after training for photos or autographs due to the current guidelines.

 

So sorry Demonlanders I won't be going Friday. Hopefully in the new year they will have open training sessions.

Thanks for that, I think I'll still head down as i don't live to far from Casey and you can actually still see everything from behind the fence.

Thank you for your service.

Let us know how it goes and how much you can still see from behind the fence.

I'd love to head down before the Christmas break but not if it's comparable to sitting in row MM of the Ponsford stand. Apologies in advance to @Supermercado
