Doing the 2 and a half hour travel with my 3 year old to attend tomorrow's open training session at Yea.

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

Kye Turner and Seston for me.

Have arrived and boys doing a circut on the netball courts. 

Some ridiculous fit dudes here.

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.

Seston with a bandaged left hammy

Still doing some walking lunges and side skips as a warm up.

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.

No bandage on Olivers hand. But i presume as its a light session there will be no contact today.

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

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.

Gee BBB is moving very well. Can,t see TMac. Will be surprised if there is a match sim on this ground. Its quite dry and uneven

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.

Interesting.. I haven't spotted Tmac either.

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.

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?

Will try and give a bit of a summary when I'm home.

  • NON-MFC: Round 12

    Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
