Some players were at training with there new clubs on sunday.

and some clubs fly in private jets home from perth...i dont think that melbourne should make decisions based on what other clubs are doing, but make our own decisions....and the fact that we have people moving to our team from interstate means that it is very hard for them to jump straight in, they are just young kids..some of them are moving into homes and it would be nice for them to pack/unpack and get comfortable before having to go straight to training...btw, i know the host family of cale morton and they have their own private gym so hopefully we will see early improvements on cales strength!!!

I went down for about an hour and I think that two of the new boys were training based on the evidence of everyone was shaking there hand and saying welcome.

When I arrived they did split into two groups one to traditionaly warm up and stretching while the other was very low impact with a lot of handball.

I assume they are not in full training. Bartram, Petterd, Juice, Sampi, Davey, McLean in the second group but were later in all the drills.

There was not a lot to report that with the exception of Junior . It looks to me that Junior is carrying his left (?) arm and only running but is otherwise ok.

Everyone was involved in lots of handball drills and for once I was impressed with there skills. I hardly saw a dropped ball and at some stages there were probably 20 balls going backwards and forwards.

Juice, Bartram and Petterd were all clean handed when they did drills involving both hands and at speed off a net.

When I left they were into kicking drills and that too looked encouraging with none of the sloppiness I remember seeing this time last year.

The fitness guy had a couple of people monitoring heart rates (over heard ranging from 170 to 110) and also distance the ball moved in a given time for each group had some machine set up that recorded it on a computer and he was backwards and forwards to the guys pushing them on.

This was a very organised session (ground was covered in coloured plates for different drills, which they moved seamlessly through ) and, although I liked Daniher, today had a very different feel to sessions I previously attended, I think I might like the new coach better!

Paul Gardner was there for a while and I reckon he would have walked away thinking that it looked and felt like a footy club.

I Would assume that it was Grimes and Maric that you saw there, Anything to report on them?

I don't know which was which but at one stage the bigger one was doing a handball drill with Juice and his skills were ok but compared to newton he looked rushed then I started looking down the row when you compared most to a newton or a davey those guys have all the time as they can handball without skipping to get balanced- hard to explain.

One minor point moloney was training without those heavy "bike" shorts he had on last year and seemed to moving very freely hopefully he is past his OP.

Minor point?

MINOR POINT?!

The rest was interesting, but this gave me a shiver of joy!

Fingers crossed, touch wood, all of that.

Also, no mention of Whelan or Rivers in that recovery group, anyone know if they were there and running free, or just not at training?

Amen man, i'd love Beamer to have a good year, he's had such an unlucky run with injuries. If he can get over his OP i really think he's got a bright future for us.

In fact you are correct Nugget.

Article on MFC site quotes Morton as staying with a host family for the first year.

You do realise that it takes time to move your entire life to the other side of the country, don't you?

I assume one or both of his parents work, they have obligations, probably a house they'll need to sell. So yeah, they might be making the move to Victoria, but they won't be at training tomorrow that's for sure.

Michael Newton, Brad Green, Colin Sylvia, Clint Bartram and Aaron Davey were part of an eight-man group that stood off to the side and took part in stationary hand ball drills when the intensity kicked up a notch.

I'm sorry to sound so negative, but it seems as though Sylvia will never actually partake in a pre-season from start to finish.

He is rivaling the great 426 for time spent on the 'not quite right' list.

Yeah I concur- Moving is tough for anyone. I dont know the financial situation of the parent(s) of the draftees. If they are not well off it is hard. Let them take time to move

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
