Looks like this will probably be our starting tall forward line-up until Petty returns

There is Nothing like experience in the forward line, even when Petty comes back, 

I pray we can get 10 or 12 very good but managed games in the forward line out of BBB and Tmac.

I ventured down a bit before 9.30am and missed the start of training.  They were doing the usual drills and some short kicking.  As reported Hunter and Jefferson were doing repeat run throughs which s

I’m down from Sydney and dropped into training with the family. It was good to meet Kev Martin and WCW for a bit of a chat.    Overall it was a solid session with plenty of intensity in the mat

It's a wet morning, ball is like soap to a few. Rehab had Jefferson and Hunter working with a trainer, ball work and fitness drills. Farris-White mainly running laps. Melksham and BBB in the shed

I have no problem with that and hope it takes the pressure of Petty to try and hasten his return.

I can’t see anything on the MFC website regarding Seymour Community Camp, there’s nothing like revving up the local community or resident Dee supporters in anticipation of getting involved with the camp??

My guess is they will be on a break until Fri 23rd, when they have a run at Casey.

I reckon they will do something Sunday the 25th. Maybe at Gosch's, but they may also get creative.

I like that they get to spend some time away from the job prior to the season real starting.

Read in the transcript from the spiel of Gawny, that they have 3 days off, after the match sim with Richmond. 

They may be training somewhere on Thursday, so Sunday 25th may be a day off (a change to what I wrote in the previous post).

Your guess is as good as mine.

Despite the website having said all week that  there was training at casey today, there wasnt and the gates were locked.  Some of the boys had a hit of cricket, and sounded like a fun game/session in the gym.  So not sure whether this was a last minute change or not.

Given that they didn't train at Casey today, as previously slated, perhaps they will have a run tomorrow morning (Saturday). As they seem to have scheduled quite a few Saturday runs (most likely captains runs).

The Gus issues may have thrown them into some changes.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
