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

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.

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.  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. 🤷‍♀️
 

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.

 

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?  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. 

So you didn't ask a genuine question? 

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

Sorry Kev I admit to being pedantic.

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? @Ghostwriter any insight?

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

at least Verrall wasn’t described as laconic.  Good call.

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. 

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.

Sharp has fitted in well and runs like the wind.  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.  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.

    MATCH SIM: Friday 7th February 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
