Fair enough. But other people may like former MFC players. Iā€™m sure there are some MFC fans who still list Jesse Hogan or Jack Watts for example among their favourites

    Max explained to the MMM crew the other day that they are in full running training at the moment and that the bulk of the running will be completed when they get back for preseason so that the footies come out on Day 1. Surprised me a bit, he also mentioned that he does the majority of his running on bitumen or concrete rather than grass and has done for a number of years now.

    Wonder if this is for stability for wonky knees?

    A mate of mine is a professional cyclist and has been for many, many years. TDF stage winning level.

    He had some hilarious advice for me many years ago which I love to repeat.

    When it comes to protecting your body, If you are running on concrete, find bitumen as itā€™s softer. If you are running on bitumen, find gravel. If you are running on gravel, find grass.

    Likewise for recovery (which they take very seriously).

    If you are standing up, you should sit down. If you are sitting down, you should lie down.

    Thanks for that, great insights

    So the PA and CBA doesn't help players in this instance, just denies them access to the club, coaches and facilities while they do the running portion of preseason. Also makes it harder to keep tabs on the players that are likely to go off the rails without structure.

    Iā€™ve not ever listed either of them as favourites* but I do have their bobble heads and theyā€™ll remain intact. They will forever be premiership players and MFC legends.

    *I did have Judd as a favourite but heā€™s my version of your ā€œyeahā€¦ nah.ā€

    Agreed. I'm choosing to 'forget' that my favourite player played for the Bulldogs.

    Clarrie was using the facilities at AAMI as recently as two weeks ago, as were Kolt, Luker and Tommy Fullarton a few weeks prior to that. Iā€™m guessing AAMI is accessible to all players during the running portion šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø

    I'm reading The Secret Race at the moment and Tyler Hamilton says just that. His wife wanted to go for walks and he was not interested. Cyclists are only made for sitting on bikes.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
