Wandered down to Gosh’s to watch the captains run, the rehabbers were out on the ground. Schache, Woewodin, Kossie (not injured), two Casey players (1, 28) and White (Casey) doing individual work.

The MFC squad then came out as one. Melksham and TMac in the squad. The vibe was low-key. It didn't help that it was cold, and the ground was wet, they didn't really start chirping until well into the drills. Seemed like they're a bit off with timing and the handling the ball. They were happy and relaxed. The morning consisted of about 5 to 6 drills.

They worked on ball movement from off halfback, and off the wing, with delivery into the leading forwards. Interestingly, they had Petty forward for a few entries.

Near the end, the centre mids were practising slowly for the centre stoppages. Grundy patting down to, Oliver, Tracc, Viney, Sparrow and JJ. The rest kicking goals (Petty included) or taking high marks (particularly JVR). Choco was also helping refine JVR's set goal kicking.

May looked fine in drills, no strapping, but did have a slight limp when walking. At the end, he did a full 30-meter sprint and had a talk to 4 support staff (physio and trainers).

After the MFC squad left, the Casey team came out. Laurie and Tomlinson were with them, I didn't see Dunstan.

Go Dees.

Was about to post this in the pre game thread Kev. Looks like Gus might stay back and JJ to the guts after seeing that little exercise.

Was this publicised anywhere? Was planning to get down but had next to no info apart from "It could be around 10 at Gosch's"

Not posted, just guess work, as they usually have a run at Gosch's the day before the gig. Start times are usually 9.30 am.

Thanks Kev, never get to go to trainings so not familiar with the usual times etc. I'm not far so will just wander down around then next time.

Great report though, sorry to bomb it with a whinge!

Very intriguing about Petty 

May is hopefully right to go. But Tmac has to be sub.
With May just back from a calf, and JVR on debut, it’s just so risky not taking a tall in who can play ruck, forward or back. 
Whereas if we lose a mid we have a plethora of options to cover them, including Gus, Rivers and ANB.

Kev, Petty up forward? this isn't another april fools gag is it?

I was thinking about putting in that Tracc and Clarry nearly came to blows.

The reality is that they share too much brotherly love. Clarry was strapping up a boot and Tracc began smothering him, what a pest, lovely moment.

Both Trac and May look like they are carrying an injury even when they are 100% fit. They just have a weird gait.

May perpetually looks like he has a lower back injury, and Petracca looks like one or both of his hips/knees are stuffed.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
