Good observation @McQueen, Kobe looks to have built-up considerably in a short space of time.

That's the first recent photo i've seen of him. Jeez he looks like his dad. 

McQ, do you know if if Freo have any interest in Kobe and if not why not?

Alos am i right to assume Kobe and his Dad still live in Perth? If so its pretty big commitment to be over in Melbourne for a whole preseason.

Just viewed the training photos. What stood out to me was how much Trent Rivers has filled out since last year. 

Of all our recruits selected in the past two drafts, I believe he will end up proving to be our most important selection of them all.

brown kicked 6 in a quarter of an intra club game. Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere and it seems to have been over the weekend 

Shows we have poor coaching and a VFL quality backline at best,  which will get toweled up by Dixon, Lynch, Hawkins etc.

6-8 wins in 2021 is all we can hope for, with everyone below us except North and Adelaide going straight past us.

Just thought I'd get in before the usual glass half full posters.

So no-one could be bothered driving for an hour to watch training from behind a fence and then writing a long report about it?

This forum is hopeless!

Definite lack of commitment!!!

However, in everyone’s defence, I have to say that Casey is the absolute rsole of the earth!! 
How the “ Melbourne “ football club ended up out there still astonishes me! 
FMD !! Might as well train in

If May, Lever and Tomlinson were all playing in defence against Brown, then I'd agree it's panic stations.

However I'm assuming Brown was probably matched up against the "possibles side" that consisted of a Casey defender, the boot studder and some bloke they plucked off the street for training.

A nice little video of some training on the club website.  I hope the players watch this, every time we did the flick handpass over the shoulder it was a turnover.  Can't believe the coaching staff haven't banned this handball.  It is like a 3 point shot in basketball, great when it comes off but really you are only going to hit 10-20%

Maybe everyone who didn't go had the same excuse as you. Which is?

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
