There is a rumour that Petracca is carrying an injury   any news??

Of course he is - every player is at this stage of the season. No indication that there is anything worrying though.

That's a very healthy list with only one regular senior player unavailable.

Is it mere luck or do our medical/conditioning staff deserve a pat on the back for their good work?

Tmac timeframe is 2-3 weeks.. surely he wont be ready for first final?

First final around 18 days away. Should be right for our second final. His touch won’t be there yet so he’ll fit in well up fwd

Whoever has been producing these training reports recently needs to find another job. The idea of background music during an interview is bizarre. I think I heard The Deliverance at one stage, so I took that to mean that we're up sh#t creek without a paddle.

McDonald is set to play VFL during the AFL's pre-finals bye, which could open the window for him to feature in the first week of senior finals.

“As we sit here now, based on the way he (McDonald) is tracking, he’ll play next week,” Richardson confirmed.

“We’re hopeful given the training he’s been doing, we’d be looking at him playing significant minutes next week.”

There used to be rules about who can play finals in VFL if you hadnt played during Home and Away.

Anyone know if this is still an issue for Tom?

As long as the AFL team is still playing there are no restrictions on who may play in the VFL

That's a really great result by the fitness and conditioning team

Agreed.

Fat chance Salem and Jackson aren't fit for finals in a week and a half with those minor injuries.

Brilliant to have another full list available heading into finals.

It would be literally (actually) incredible (unbelievable) were Tommy to get back and have an influence finals  after so much time out: but if anyone has the physical and mental application to give it a red hot go it would be him.

You reckon? 

I don't doubt his intent and I am a fan for the last 4 years but I think he's mentally a little fragile.

It's written across his face .When he's up and about he looks like a different player. 

Walking off after a game where things have gone wrong he's flat and expressionless

Probably better than skipping and joking. Maybe he’s serious about results.

Not certain that’s the case when your AFL side isn’t playing on the weekend. I think the club has to get the okay from the VFL in the case of a player like Tom. It should be automatic because he’s returning from injury.

But youre welcome to disagree with me

It stands to reason that the clubs with the more experienced lists will also rank higher in the above list but we are definitely travelling okay at the moment as far as injuries are concerned.

I’m nervous writing it, but this is the kind of injury list (or lack thereof) that should win another premiership.

Looking at the interview with Michael Hibberd on the MFC site, noticed Kosi in the training footage, knee heavily strapped and walking with a limp! Not wishing to alarm, but would appreciate an update from anyone who has been at training.
