Great day all round. It was a low key kind of session which I suppose makes sense from yesterday’s full match sim. The boys are seriously looking fit and they know. To see the boys up close and s

My turn to give back to the die hard regulars who have make the time to attend and give in depth reports for us folks who live in regional country area's. 

If you have any player of interest to keep an eye on let me know and I'll do my best to update.

Quick question, are players accessible for photos and autographs afterwards? This is for my son who is excited to meet his hero's tomorrow. 

U are a LEGEND DAZ! Matt Jefferson appraisal from me, Hunter, Grundy and Shackey Attacky also

Thanks very much P.F

Jefferson has been in the rehab group for the past few sessions. The reason for this has not been stated by the club nor ascertained by the trackwatchers.

I read somewhere that he was in the rehab group as a precaution after a headknock - standard procedure.

Circut still going on.

JVR is one big unit. It's ridiculous a bloke that's 19 is already that size.

Onto the oval where you'll struggle to find a green blade of grass.

Broken up into small groups with most of it compiled of stationary kicking.

See today's sessions as more of a captains run.

Disposal is clean, crisp and moving fluently.  

There's a group down the other end doing some keeping off.

Groups have no rotated. Near me is choco Williams with the kicking group.

Barking orders and wanting to keep it low and hard.

Kye Turner has an unusual kicking style but is effective so far.

Kozzie, Rivers and May are so efficient with their kicking style.

Rivers looks extremely fit. Would love to see him spend midfield minutes if an opportunity came across.

Trent Burgoyne really showcasing his poise and clean kicking skills in the group near me.

AMW  is another who kicks it flat and hard.

Mark Williams would still make a good senior coach. He barks orders but also gives good constructive feedback and demands 100% in all aspects.

Benny Brown moving well also.

Bit of a PR exercise really. Good to see the players. No TMAC, Clarry protecting his right hand (requesting gentle hand shakes) BBB is a very nice human, Trac and Clarry seem to really enjoy each other. Steven May did a poor handball in a drill, the next drill he put in serious effort to steal possession, he is a real competitor.

On to the serious side. Bucks Bakery in Yarck was closed! Fortunately The Giddy Goat was open, great sausage roll and coffee.

Players have been signing memorabilia and having photos taken, many now leaving the ground.

ManDee signing off from Yea Recreation Reserve.

Lever is moving and kicking well. Doesn't at all seem hindered.

 

That's good Dazzle.  Yesterday at training I saw him come off (a normal rotation) and just feel for his hammy.  He did the rest of the session but I did wonder.  If he was moving well today that's good.

How did Joel Smith train?

Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

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
