Good news for Max (and us). Low grade Hamstring strain.

Here are Links to some of the Training Reports from today's session at Casey Fields. WIZARD333's TRAINING REPORT MCQUEEN's TRAINING REPORT

The official site has now been updated and the next advertised Training session is: https://www.melbournefc.com.au/teams/training-times Date: Wednesday 25 January Time: 9:30am Location: Gosch's Paddock *Please note: There are no public undercover areas available at Gosch's Paddock so please come prepared for weather conditions. Training times and locations are subject to change at late notice.

I like the idea but I think you need to make it free to start with and make it an attraction and then bait and switch and start charging. Not sure how you do it at an open venue like Gosch’s.

Doesn’t seem like any of our Trackwatchers were out at Casey today for the match sim. Here are some photos from the club’s socials.

Unless someone has some inside info we currently do not.

The best advice is to check the link below (at the time of writing it has not been updated) or phone the club. At the moment there is no clear pattern of which days (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) are at Gosch’s or Casey. Due to the tennis it might be more likely that they are training at Casey but then again they trained at Gosch’s yesterday. https://www.melbournefc.com.au/teams/training-times

Buckley, who coached Grundy from his draft year of 2012 until 2021, pondered just how much cash out of the Dees’ salary cap is going towards the ruck duo. “It’s against my philosophy in terms of investing,” Buckley told SEN’s Dwayne’s World. “Take Brodie Grundy and Max Gawn out of it, but investing that large a percentage of your cap - I can only assume - into the ruck role. I think the jury is out on what that actually does in a bigger picture. “If it’s eight or nine per cent of your cap, and it goes there (to two rucks), does it mean you are tight in other parts of the field? Or with other top-end talent in other roles? “Personally, I can think you can over-invest in ruckmen. I don’t like the idea of using first-round picks, even though Brodie was, but he was one of three in a row (18, 19 and 20 in the 2012 draft) so that made some sense.”
