True ,  but it certainly didnt work for the Eagles. LOL .Some of their senior players literally had rolls of fat under those tight sleevless tops they wear when they were walking up the race.

I would change the AFL dress code. All the players are running around half naked. Ffs put some clothes on.

Players in the 1890's looked much better. 

Obviously too much Christmas pudding. Skin fold tests to go ballistic next week.

Happy New Flag!

I'm guessing training resumes today??

The volunteer told me that Friday is for training at Casey.

So I assume the schedule for preseason training is: Monday and Wednesday at Gosch's 9.30am and Friday's at Casey.

The club has posted training at Casey on Friday 13th and Monday 16th, at 9.30 am.

Looks like we're starting our 'loading program' 👀

Interesting that in his interview Tmac pointed out his senior player highlight so far is Melksham, saying he is very fit and firing to go. 

Would like to see Melky have a good year

Melksham was one of the reasons we had such a good year in 2018. Damn good player when in form. If Spargo Melk & Sparrow have good years along with the rest of MFC we're a big shot for the flag.

Its all there in place, were not asking for much. No miracles req.

I think Melksham's form fell because his home life changed with the birth of his children and thus his sleep patterns suffered. 

Hi Dees friends, I'm a Canberra fan coming to Melbourne for the next week. Wondering where I can find out when Dees training sessions are on (& where)? Many thanks in advance, go Red Legs 💙❤

The best advice is to check the link below (at the time of writing it has not been updated) or phone the club. 

At the moment there is no clear pattern of which days (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) are at Gosch’s or Casey. Due to the tennis it might be more likely that they are training at Casey but then again they trained at Gosch’s yesterday.

Whilst that link shows training times  for 18 Jan. the MFC website no longer has a link to future training sessions. The website seems to have changed this week with the drop-down info on training times no longer shown. I hope I'm wrong but the website has clearly changed this week.

It's there, it's under the "Teams" tab.

Do we know where tomorrow’s training will be?

Unless someone has some inside info we currently do not.

I just briefly spoke to Clayton Oliver at the tennis, I'm spewing I didn't ask wear tomorrow's training session is. I'm keen to get along if it's a Gosch's as I'm staying in the city. Damn I missed my opportunity, sorry guys.

Tomorrow is at Casey.

I also have a training question. 

For the first time in a few years I am coming back to Australia to visit family shortly. I will not, however be in Melbourne. I will be staying just north of Brisbane and wondered if the Mighty, recent premiership winning Dees are spending a week at Maroochydore. If they are I will get along to a training session and try my hand at a rreport.

Any one got any idea?

Think those camps have been canned.

Doesn’t seem like any of our Trackwatchers were out at Casey today for the match sim. Here are some photos from the club’s socials. 

 

A magnificent day weather wise for training...

A few snakes basking on the warm tracks perhaps

On a separate note one wonders how long it will be until some bright spark at the AFL (we can make money out of anything) comes up with a plan for charging fees to attend training. Going to "spring training" in baseball is big business.

Williams said they have fixed cameras and the drone at Casey.  Do they have the same at Gosh's
