Seems strange that Jake M has lost his number because he is a rookie.

He maybe placed on the long term injury list?

    I couldnt remember all last years numbers (I normally pride myself on it) and I googled MFC player numbers. Most hits showed new players with or without numbers, but only current list. it was no surprise to me that MFC website showed all the last years players and numbers.

    thought I saw Petty but think it was fake Petty (Jed Adams).

    Adams, Verrall and Sestan have all made physical progress 

    Might be nothing but in a handball, handball across half forward then kick to leading forwards inside 50 drill T Mc started as a defender.

    3 new young guys watching with Choco now

    Josef is here doing some individual drills that would roughly rhyme with soot jihad

    The two burning questions of the day

    1- is Clarry there?

    2- how does Petty’s foot look?

    Neither are here, try new questions

    New fellas joined in the second rotation of that set of drills.

    Koltyn seems to be pursuing a strategy of following Tracc everywhere. 

    Kynan had a couple of inside 50 kicks that looked good.

    Windsor had some nice one touch gathers. Might be because he’s dressed like an 18 year old girl about to hit a wall King street nightclub but he seems to have really long arms 

    From the new veterans for want of a better word: Shane Mc looks comfortable out of the square and snaps on both sides.

    Fullarton has a tan that won’t survive Melbourne winter

    Cold tin just kicked a checkside over the fence and possibly in to the sun.

    It hasn’t helped, the weather is still foul. I’d have the trade request in by the end of the day if I didn’t think 40 degrees in November was far worse

    I'm just reading on the AFL website that Collingwood will start their preseason at Gosches due to resurfacing works:

    What the actual [censored]? Please don't tell me we're stepping aside to accommodate those [censored]. I don't give a toss that we have Casey to train at. They can [censored] off somewhere else.... preferably Bairnsdale

    What have you got against Bairnsdale? 😀

    The Collingwood players should enjoy Bairnsdale. It would put them close to their supporter base at the Fulham Correctional Centre.

    100m or so boundary timed jogs for the young boys.

    Longer, quicker runs for the main group up the middle of the ground. 
     

    McAdam, Sestan, Gawn with the 2nd year talls in the slightly shorter distance group. KFW is leading them out well 

    Laurie, Judd, Spargo, Bowser maybe some others and with some effort the Tracc are in the group doing the furthest by a few extra metres. Obviously many of the best runners aren’t on deck today. 

    Everyone out there looks good tho

    Absentees from the track (not all required at this session of course):

     

    Chandler

    Oliver (maybe still with Kade in SA?)

    J Smith

    May

    Viney

    Brayshaw

    Hunter

    B Brown

    Petty

    Kosi

    Langdon

    Schache

    ANB

    Tomlinson

    Tmac moving freely - nice to see. Fritta did not join the group - rehabbing, but didn't look serious.

    All the draftees and rookie picks were there, plus Fullarton, McAdam, Billings. Marty Hore, fit and firing, like he never left...

    I thought I saw him on track but certainly wasn’t in any drills after 10:30, in fact I’d say it’s likely he was either in the tent or in aami

    I thought I saw Petty but then realised it was Jed Adams.  Reckon social media had it wrong.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
