Garry Lyon has forecast a new role for Melbourne co-skipper Nathan Jones as he attempts to overcome a series of niggling injuries. With the Dees starting to build a talented engine room, headlined by the likes of Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver, the former Melbourne captain expects to see Jones spend more time forward in order to preserve his body for the challenges that lie ahead. “I would expect him to play, we talk about Petracca wanting to go into the middle, you know that Oliver can, he will go forward perhaps for longer periods in time, and maybe it will help preserve his body,” Lyon said on SEN Breakfast. “He could even go back as well.” https://www.sen.com.au/news/2018/01/30/is-a-move-forward-in-the-offing-for-dees-leader/

"But it's also having that competitiveness to win and not be beaten. "I hate letting people down. Whether it be my family or my teammates, I hate looking at their faces and realising that I've done something wrong. "My teammates believe in me and trust me to do the job, so that's what keeps me driven." http://afl.com.au/news/2018-01-31/picture-this-demon-wants-a-life-sentence

BILLY Stretch's ability to push from end-to-end and transition quickly between attack and defence made him the standout during Melbourne's main training session at Maroochydore Sports Complex on Tuesday afternoon. http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-01-30/billy-stretch-the-standout-in-match-simulation-drills

This turn of events would have been a very MFCSS thing to have happened in some alternate universe.

I too think it was good sign that he walked (ok limped) back to AAMI unassisted (and alone).

@DeeSpencer reported on Wednesday that Petracca appeared to have "left knee soreness, looked like he jarred it. Given a good look over by the physios then limped back to AAMI (by himself)."

Most likely. I was away for 3 weeks and no one seemed to notice.

Phew.

I did put a question mark at the end. Is punctuation a bannable offence?
