Has there ever been a pre-season attract this much interest and enthusiasm?

A silver lining of the Year of Grief?

Being given #10 came as a big surprise to Disco, totally unexpected. This is because there was talk of one of the new boys getting it (probs Harvey) and he thought it had been decided. He’s humble and very grateful to be wearing the number of a much-loved Club champion. There was consultation with Gus before the decision was made.Β

When Clarry was boundary running with Campbell, he was belching . Perhaps he had an upset stomach.

Wasn't the temperature in the low 20's. I was in the shade most of the time, and comfortable. @Ghostwriter

I saw Clarrie throw up a little on the boundary, mainly liquid and not much of it but evidently enough for him to be told to call it a day. Β I’m guessing he wasn’t feeling 100% before training even started because he was eating an apple on his way over from the rooms and he said that’s all he’d eaten. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

PS: yes, Kev, top temperature of only 24 degrees today but try telling that to my 3rd degree burns. SPF 50+ my arze. 😑

McAdams is still on light duties.

Gawn is getting more involved with the leadership role, He is in cruise mode.

Oliver is trying hard.

Viney is excelling and isbest by a far distance, also, atending every session so far.

Billings is looking very good. Running hard, getting plenty of ball and with good disposals. Back to the club in great shape.

Β 

I think Cranky Franky was taking the p!zz, Kev. 😁 You said McAdams, not McAdam and CF added an S onto those other players’ names. However, he should’ve asked about Billingss, not Billings. 😁

He'd be asking @picket fence, wouldn't he?

I believe that's one of his slitheras.

Well McAdam has been here over 12 months & people keep calling him McAdams. Not sure why that is.

Maybe it's the reason for his indifferent form.

I don’t know if this has been asked before, but does anyone who’s been attending these training sessions, have any insights into how Chunk is adapting to the coaching lark, and if it appears that he’s changing up the way things are done in the midfield? Β I know we mostly get observations on players, so I was thinking it’d be nice to get an idea of what is going on from a coaching point of view.

Dunno about change in game plan etc but Jonesy sure looks like he is enjoying himself.

For me the confusion is with Adams, getting mixed up with MxAdam.

Bit pedantic though, you know who I am talking about, and isn't that what communication is about? Slang, and nicknames must drive you crazy. Is it that you are well educated, getting distinction in English and are playing the class and superiority card in your sarcasm.Β 

So you didn't ask a genuine question?Β 

Well done, you must be fun at dinner parties with your trivial pursuits.Β

Anyhow your training reports are very much appreciated & very informative.

Interesting that Fritsch isn't in the rehab group. He didn't do the time trial the other day (neither did Max or Campbell) and isn't doing everything in the main sessions.

Wonder what the situation is here? @GhostwriterΒ any insight?

Wait for the HS report that 31 has checked out, cleared his locker and headed to Geelong or Colonwood.Β

Harry Sharp has looked good from day 1. Glides around the field, comfortable with ball in hand, he is not disturbing the pecking order as he is keeping a humble and happy disposition.Β 

Howes started preseason with the occasional fumble and misskick. I feel a few may have jumped above him. Today he had a good run at it. Hoping he is finding some confidence from it. His body is looking taller and stronger.Β

Sharp has fitted in well and runs like the wind.Β  Getting lots of encouragement from team mates which is a good sign,

Howes (and Sestan) had a little niggle 2 weeks back and spent a week in rehab.Β  Back in training but seems to lack any type of X factor, doesn't standout - I recommend lemon rinse....

I'd recommend you wear pants rather than relying on SPF 50+ on that part of your anatomy.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old sideβ€”the Tigersβ€”coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking?Β I mean by β€œthey” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack.Β Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winningΒ 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
