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: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
