Anyway, letโ€™s move on FFS.

Helped off or walked off, who cares? GW is clearly a great poster so why question a technicality? and if you do, do it once, not 5 times. Unless you get off your [censored] and provide a report yourself then STFU

If you need help leaving this forum i reckon thereโ€™ll be many volunteering to help you

Ghostwriter nee WCW provides a wonderful view of our club how she sees it.

I frankly couldn't care less if there is an embellishment or an occasional error, the bulk of what she writes is fantastic. I am not suggesting she was wrong far from it.

I have followed the media for many years and find MOST reporting contains errors.

Please if you don't like Ghostwriter just block her, or if you have a different opinion say "I see it differently ....."ย 

I prefer her training reports to none.

Righto enough is enough.

The information she provided was wrong. She said McVee didnโ€™t need any assistance from trainers being taken off the field, all I did was point out this was actually not the case. Would it be preferable if we just exist in some kind of fairyland where nobody disagrees with anyone and nobody is allowed to point out that somebody might actually be mistaken? If binman had made this mistake Iโ€™d have pointed it out, if dazzle had made this mistake Iโ€™d have pointed it out, if picket had made this mistake Iโ€™d have pointed it out. In no way was it a personal attack on GW. I didnโ€™t insult her, I actually said I appreciate and enjoy her training reports.

Not once did I insult anyone, so Iโ€™ve got absolutely no idea how that has led to you saying โ€œif you need help leaving this forum I reckon thereโ€™ll be many volunteering to help youโ€.

And I do try to provide training reports whenever I can attend on Wednesdays. Not to the detailed level that GW does, which, Iโ€™ll say once again, I appreciate!

I must say I write a lot of posts on this forum that once I have written them I re-read before posting and then delete. It works reasonably well for me. ( hopefully this is not one of them...)

I was there, saw Judd go down, spasm, crawl, got up, hopped, then walked with pain and discomfort for about 20 meters till the trainers met him. Given his will power, I'd guess he would have made it to the boundary by himself.

Ghost could have seen the first part and made the opinion that at least he was able to move by his own and concluded it may not be too bad, being a more glass full kinda person.ย 

Her observations weren't wrong, just not a complete commentary. They also underpinned the opinion about the extent of the injury, which is more of a concern to me. Our thinking, it was not too bad, given he made his way towards the boundary by himself, before being assisted. We were hoping it was only cramp.

Matter of fact @Dee Boysย does get down to training regularly on a Wednesdays. What are you providing again sorry?

And remind me why are we encouraging people to leave this forum because you simply disagree with his comment? Sensitive much...

I appreciate anyone who makes the time and effort in getting down to training and providing a report, I wish i could on a regular basis as a return of favour, but location wise i can't.

What happens in between those training reports is up to those individuals.ย 

Time to move on. Everyone is an adult here, they'll get over it.

Some don't even have the balls to nit pick, they just sit back and wait for one of the other goon squad to do it, then throw in their little passive aggressive reactions to the post.

It's always the same people and it's always being done to the same person and frankly it is becoming tiresome.

precisely my point. Thank youย 

we are adults here. No need to pick and pick at training reports. just enjoy them.ย 

GW provides great reports as do many. Can we not bag her if she misses something?ย 

Claiming โ€˜misinformationโ€™ and that was โ€˜made upโ€™ is pathetic.

far out

Apologies, I may have come in too hard.

my point is, try not to label reports as misinformation as someone may have seen a few seconds and reported what they saw

I appreciate you getting down to trainingย 

Go dees

You are aware that people seeing the same incident, often give different descriptions of it. That is a fact, as proved in Courts and Tests thousands of times.

Some people see parts of an incident that others miss, or simply mistake what they saw.

Maybe we can leave GW alone and just appreciate her contributions, without constant attacks for innocent variations of what might or might not have occurred at training.

Surely the important fact is how long Judd will miss, not how he left the training track.

One leads onto the other.

Thought I might join the chat. McAdam is highly skilled, with evasive tricks and a good footy IQ. Marks as if he were taller, like Fritta. He's done the work and I look forward to his first game, where he kicks 3 and dishes off a couple.

Have prescribed vitamins to avoid further injury / illness and a small dose off apotropaic magic to ward of negative DL comments. He'll be fine.

Yes & he's 29, injury prone, has never played more than 15 games in a season & managed just 7 & 3 senior games in his last 2 seasons.

Definitely not the messiah.

PS: If anyone "likes" this post you can be sure they're over 60 years old.ย 

Yep, probably ... actually, for me, a decade more in the generalised sense.

Why people want to pick up on the minutiae of details to get one up on track watchers is beyond me. Iโ€™m in QLD and really appreciate any information about the MFC and training I can get so thanks for the reports.ย 
For the nupties who seek relevance through nit picking and criticising reports - stop spoiling the fun and grow up.

Caaaaryst does it really matter whether Juddy,walked, crawled, was carried, escorted, transporter roomed,Tardis travelled,spiritually planed,transcendentally manifested or anything else to the boundary line?? Fact is he was injured, nothing else matters!ย

ai says:

A high hamstring tear, also called a "proximal hamstring tear," is generally considered worse than a tear closer to the knee (distal hamstring tear) because the high hamstring is closer to the bone attachment point and can involve more severe tendon damage, potentially leading to longer recovery times and sometimes requiring surgical intervention in severe cases.ย 
ย 

Isn't the hamstring connected to the bone at both ends?

  • FEATURE: 1925

    ๏ปฟA hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.ย  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the โ€œFuchsias.โ€ They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturdayโ€™s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach inย Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but Iโ€™ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demonsโ€™ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).ย  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, basedย on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.ย  At the time, the Eagles already had two winsย off the back of a couple of the young manโ€™s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

  • NON-MFC: Round 08

    Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourneโ€™s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle.ย As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nationโ€™s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.ย

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
