I think it is possible that the fitness professionals know more about it than we - or at least I -do.  

Correct, will back their judgement over mine anytime. 

However if something looks odd or weird it's worth asking the question.

Do you mean more than other interstate trips? If so, in what way? For example, is it not a direct flight?

Would that suggest BBB is on his way back in and the Petty up forward experiment is dead in the water?

More the second part I reckon.

Cannot confirm, though they have regularly been down at Casey for the main training this season. 

My guess would be, train at Casey on Wednesday, fly to Alice Thursday, community events Friday, Saturday, captain's run on Traiger oval, and play Sunday.

Are you for real?  Jack does  not need managing when in top form.

Jack's come of the ground in consecutive games with a shoulder. Both times in considerable pain. First time it was described as a 'stinger' but that sounds like a ruse.

Are we sure it's a shoulder issue with Viney? After the Pies game they said he suffered a bit of a pinched nerve in the neck, in the Cats game he looked just as done as the Pies game only to continue on unhindered again. Maybe it was the nerve again.

Happy to give Viney a rest if needed, we should have enough depth to cover. We don't want him or others busted up again like last year....

Fair enough if the medicos get on top of it and judge that he be managed.

I've really only been able to see the Monday review training sessions this year. Lately they have been doing an extra 30 minutes on a Monday, but that is due to the fact that they have had a 4 or 5 day break from the last game.

I would assume the "loading" is done in the gym, because the training session I've observed don't usually go longer, and the running sessions don't seem to be more extensive.

Trainings seem to be about processes and skills. Even during preseason, they were doing a lot more ball work, than other years. 

If they are pushing players, I'd imagine they would absolutely need individual programs, so as to optimise the work. Training is usually a group/team program.

With loading, they need closer analysis,with specific cardiovascular parameters, which is better suited to a gym.

The rehabbers have specific field programs they need to tick off. It is usually done with a one on one, trainer and trainee assistance. I assume if the entire squad is loading then there is not enough trainers to assist. Again, the only place where many can be monitored and do specific programs, is a gym.

If they are loading it would be happening out of sight, I reckon.

Interesting kev - do you mean an extra 30 minutes intensive training after short breaks?  
As you pint out though much of the “loading” would probably involve gym work away from prying eyes.

Surely it depend on what the problem is.

Leaving on Saturday, I would say they will have main training session tomorrow

Leaving on Saturday for a Sunday game with community work as well?  Sounds a bit strange.  I understand that in the past they would go up mid week.

No, I mean 4 to 5 days since they played a game, making it 9 to 10 days between games.  It appeared to be, extra intensity on the Monday during the longer breaks.

    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
