Movin' fine and ready to bust out some Taylor Swift moves.

Swift? Pfft … I’d say he’s got the moves like Jagger. 🕺 or Travolta 

 

Training on Wednesday is at Casey. The boys fly out to Adelaide that same day. 

Numbers are down, 24 in the main group. none who played yesterday at Casey are with them. 

Light duties include, BBB, Lever, Chandler, Spargo.

McAdam is in the main squad, as is Melky, Turner, and Hunter. 

TMac in runners, though full training.

No May

Smacca (McAdam), Melk & Sestan with the main group

I know kev suggested Smacca would be back likely Anzac Eve, but I'd love to see him debut against the Crows and kick a bag.

Thanks as always kev

Particularly interested in Melk and Turner being in the main group already.  How well did they move?  And were they involved at all in competitive work?

No May

Wonderful news to hear McAdam is finally back in the main squad. Wonder if we'll finally see a return date in the injury reports instead of TBC. Also Melk although he will still be a while away you'd think. And Turner and Hunter back in. Injury list disappearing at the right end of the season. 

NO MAY!!! Bloody wimp. Take it like a man and get out there. Can't believe he didn't turn up. 

Ok Ok I'm not saying that to him at Florent. Well anywhere actually. 

Great news to hear it's only cracked ribs and not broken and no internal damage. Broken are a whole other ball game. Cracked are a shocker if you've ever been through it. Can't see them rushing him back for Crows but it is Steven May so who knows. Would be a great bonus if he's back by Lions game. 

And great news on Lever. But he's pretty heavily strapped.

I’m on annual leave so have ridden the bike down for a look today. Eden Zanker was mowing the grass when I got here. 

BBB has gone back to the rooms but no strapping on the left knee this morning and no limp.

Incredible training innovation by the Dees. Leaving no blade of grass unturned to get an edge. 

McAdam mustn't be far off.  Kicking snags from 50

Would be fantastic if he could come in against Adelaide. Will especially help if Petty needs to play down back in the absence of May and/or BB needs a rest. 

How is Ricky Lever going? This is how Ricky Lever’s going…

in his hand is the scrunched up ball of tape that was on his knee and is about to be drop-kicked into the nearest bin. 😃


Lingers just kicked a torp (bpuncing through) goal for fun from 65 out

Petts & Clarry still practicing set shots from 40

 She also does that job at home ... in the garden of Eden.    sorry

 

Short session. They’re done already. Just Fritta and Clarrie taking shots on goal. Melks, Spaz, Marty, Tracc, Rooey, Sestan running around the boundary.

Now everyone off the ground except for my boy Melksy. He’s kicking a footy around by himself. Now he’s running along the boundary. He said he’ll definitely be right to go for “the second half of the season.” 🥳🥳🥳 

Sestan last man standing doing tackling, agility, 1v1 marking & groundball drills

Bowey also...laps

  • NON-MFC: Round 12

    Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
