Pretty sure that is Neaves...

They might chuck him back on the rookie list.

10 News now for some more footage from today's session.

they all look great! was there any invitees there??

Pretty sure that is Neaves...

They might chuck him back on the rookie list.

Are they allowed to do that? I was under the impression if a player has been a rookie for 2 years the only way they can continue to be on a list is as a senior listed player. Don't get me wrong, I reckon it would be GREAT if they could somehow allow ruckmen longer periods on rookie lists, or maybe create a special category within the draft for them as it seems to me many of them don't become anywhere near good enough for the AFL until they're at least 22. But I doubt they'd change the rules just for that...

In Neaves' case, I'd love to see him have another year or two on the rookie list, but given the way we delisted him, doesn't that enable other clubs to draft him if they see fit?

Also, if we DID take Neaves again, that would mean we have 1 soon to retire ruckman in White, then 2 guys in roughly the same place going for the backup ruck spot in Jamar and PJ, and then Meesen hot on their heels, as quick as PJ and as good a ruckman as Jamar from all accounts... not to mention taller.

Even assuming White goes in 2 years (maybe less, maybe more), that leaves us with 3 ruckmen AND Neaves.

I don't know whether everyone can access bigpond video but there are 2 clips from today's training there.

Interviews with meesen & bailey along with footage of the boys training. Just to add to the photos....thx

Thanks heaps for the post Diablo

cheers

Great work Diablo, Thanks.

GOLD Diablo GOLD! Great work!

Cheers Diablo and Coxy......

Your "hard work" is greatly appreciated :D !!!

Great work Diablo and Coxy. Always great to see the pre-season stuff and excellent photos.

A few questions:

- Has Wheatley lost weight or grown taller? Talk about all arms and legs.

- Is Kelly O'Donnell the short bald bloke in the pic of the coaches? I used to watch him play and barely recognise him now.

- Has Jonesy been to the Hair Transplant Studio? He's definitely got a thatch happening. And there you go, he looks younger already.

- Has Jaded's 'friend' paid his member(ship) off yet?

Top photos and thanks for the first glimpses of season 2008.

Haha if you're referring to the one of the coaches running, the short bald chap is actually Bailey. Kelly O'Donnell is the nearest one.

I kinda noticed the same thing with Wheats, but can't be too sure as he was wearing a short sleeved top whereas the others had singlets

about the other part

My friend is not a Melbourne supporter she's an Essendon supporter, which begs the question, why am I going out of my way to make her a nice going-away present?

Should just throw her on a plane and never speak to her again

theres your pick 3 in the psd...

if he is commited, its a good move, if not, its byron again, just a bit softer and younger

Not impressed by the standard of cricket in District Cricket these days if the scoreboard is anything to go by. A very ordinary effort from the both batting sides considering the Junction Oval wicket usually plays well for batsmen!

Check out the train tracks shot. Buckley second from the left...look at the size of the arms!

Whatever he's been doing since the end of the season, get Rivers onto it!!!

This year the wicket has not been playing well. In the last game there was actually tap water leakage under the covers. VCA is investigating the circumstances.

it was a 33 over game because the wicket was a little wet!
