PRESEASON TRAINING: Saturday 8th March 2025

[640MD 3,568]

PF   please be known, I once upon a time many years ago knew Dave Kelly, a nice enough bloke to know. No idea how good or bad as a footballer.  Very tall bloke but I never saw him play football or get angry.  Good enough to get on the list, so far beyond my dreams, but maybe did not get angry on the field.  (around 1985 ?) 

This is our year, grab it by the throught.

I’m standing in front of “this year” ready to grab it - but I can’t find its “throught”. Help me please.

Spelling never was my go, arithmetic and number logical progression now that’s a piece of [censored], or was.

Was it a missing Ay?

This heat is far too hot too play football. 
methinks started too early

To grab by the throught: Is to grab another's thought before it exits his throat.

There looks to be some positive signs around Adams this pre season is he a round 1 chance?

Adams' apples?

 

p.s. Yep. Though leads to discussion about whose place he takes...

Zackery what I've been saying' for nigh on two years.

😊 Had a boss who said 'exackery'. A very absorbable word. Got me.

While they're all at you, 640, forgive me for looking forward to later in the season, when the heat becomes colder.

 

Is that your boot I feel as we see myself out?

People, like me, who use it have heard the Ed Zachary disease joke.

Not me. I'll look it up! (I think I can guess its tenor, knowing my boss...)

Yep; I was right, @M_9!

The club hasn't posted any info about training times this week.

https://www.melbournefc.com.au/teams/training-times

 My guess

Sunday the 16th March, we play. So, a Captain's run the day before, Saturday at Gosch's, probably starting around 9.30 am. Main training at Casey on Thursday 13th, 10.00 am. Recovery run, Tuesday 11th, at Gosch's 9.30 am.

About time you pulled your texts back Roost it. 

I am going the nice crow ( following a warning) but still on the search for crazy and lazy posts that are of no sense.if they appear.

Is there really a spot for Langford in the AFL side ? If we run with JVR Disco and Johnson, can’t really have another big 192 cm player plonked in the forward line, he would have to be getting midfield minutes. Curious to see how this plays out through the season 

AJ appears to have done more than Disco in the pre Season. Reckon he gets the nod

Great point re: Turner capable of playing back.

As Hawthorn have shown with Sicily, versatility in-game is key and the likes of Petty and Disco can be switched either end in game.

yes i can imagine if both are down an immediate swap could take place. sometimes Petty takes the ruckman though which Turner might struggle with. 

I think Turner and Jefferson have to use their wheels more as both have some pace.

Apologies in advance @Roost it far she had to leave at halftime. But she rang me from her car and said what she saw today would make any Dees fan very excited. Normally levelheaded and staid, she was so excited she took a wrong exit off the highway. THAT’S how excited we should be 😅

She said at halftime the teams split up into two teams each and played against each other (half a side vs half a side). 

Petty in both teams???  How did he manage that?

This is what happens when a ghostwriter uses a ghostwriter. Or…

Petts did play in both, one in defence and one up forward. 😝
