7 players over 200cm, 5 over 195 and 6 over 190 (incudes Kye Turner).    Nearly half the list.  Is it the tallest team we've had? Includes 6 of the 8 we drafted.

Realistically though, BBB has 1-2 years left and Max probably 2-4, so that’s 2 gone in a few years. Schache might last the same as BBB, or maybe Max, so that’s another.

But yes, it would have to be one of, if not the tallest list we have had.

At 25yrs old he could also be around for a while if he can stay fit and healthy. Even if that means he is playing at Casey for the majority of the time.

I’m going to take it that the players either trained early or alternatively, didn’t train at all in order to watch that Superbowl nonsense.

New guy or gal appears to have their training wheels on (big shoes after Gibbo to fill in) Most shots were rather static rather than action freeze motion. Exceptions were two fabulous portraits of Harry and Will no doubt Megan and Kate will be impressed.

I flew in this morning from the Central Gippsland wetlands to Casey,  to check out MFC training,  for the first time since Grand Final week 2000,  and maybe even to give a report.

Perhaps the fact that I was obviously the only observer,  for several hours,  should have been a dead giveaway,  but a genial Richo enlightened me.  ''How did you get in,  don't you know it's a closed session,  and do you work for a club?"

''Mate'', I say, ''Richo,''' I say, ''I'm   just a retired schoolteacher with too much time on my hands!'' ''No worries'',says a grinning Richo.

Anyhow,  I'd love to give a scintillatingly informative report, but [1]. it would probably all be redacted, and [2]. duck season is imminent.

Hnnmm Must be a common thread being retired with too much time on our hands. But PLEASE given Im generally the only one venturing out to Casey, I would love a penny for your thoughts!??
