Yes he said he'll be back into full trianing 4th of feb

Spargo was there he made a mistake during drills and the whole group had to do 10 push ups. I don't think Walker was there.

I got there at 9:05 and they were already training. Didn't see Melksham at all the rest were there. Into rehab was Jones not sure if it was a light day for him or not. Out of rehab O.Mac, Jetta, Petracca, Hunt, T.Smith, Hore and Harmes. It was just a light session based on skills no real contact work or match simulations. Maynard copped a knock to the hip that needed attention but seemed fine afterwards. Clarry will be back on the 4th of Feb the rest can't be too long, Hannan had no strapping to his knee which is a positive.

Well we are out of the 4 now due to the one dayers, fortunately it's a 14 game season and may not hurt us in the end. I've found a worse captain than Paine and that's Maddinson SPUD.

I thought they were going to wait until the mid season draft to fill it.

Yeah I'll be going on Saturday. I'll do a report and try and get the remaining 5 players to sign my jumper.?

Scrap the one dayers now it's going to cost us a finals spot. How do we have a chance without Handscomb, Maxwell, Stoinis and Zampa . At least Dunk finally made some runs that's something. Larkin was played too late he's in form with the bat he should be ahead of Bravo, Merlo and Plunkett who aren't in form with the bat.

Can't agree with Paine but is going to take a long time for the top 6 to make runs consistently. It looks very young with Renshaw and Pucovski in the side. When Warner and Smith come back it will make a huge difference those 2 carry the team on their back.

I hate Paine only in the side because he is captain his form has been terrible. HARRIS RENSHAW KHAWAJA LABUSCHAGNE HEAD PUCOVSKI PAINE CUMMINS STARC LYON HAZLEWOOD

COME BACK HONDA WE NEED YOU! Been flat ever since Honda got injured. Got the hiding we deserved. Disgraceful effort by Deng for the second goal may as well have kicked for them it was that bad. Troisi has to lift done nothing all year.

B: WHELAN, WIGHT, JETTA HB: B.LOVETT, INGERSON, S.FEBEY C : TINGAY, OLIVER, FLOWER HF: LYON, SCHWARZ, YZE F: FARMER, NEITZ, GREEN FOLL: GAWN, T.VINEY, J.VINEY IC: A.JOHNSON, STYNES, ROBERTSON, J.MCDONALD EMERG: JACKOVICH, JURRAH, WHITE, BRUCE

I told you we would win?Foles to Tate was a thing of beauty. Parkey is a spud. GO PHILI

I don't think so. Different sports have different demands. NBA doesn't last long, NFL doesn't have any replays which as you said is a killer I have to record it off 7mate. But you can get the whole year of A League, Big Bash and international cricket doesn't go for too long either

Do we have the worst captain ever in Paine. Not a great keeper and woeful with the bat. Pant and Buttler can make runs but do you think he can? no. He has to be replaced by either Wade or Carey he is a burden to the team. I know we have our problems now but when Smith and Warner come back we will be a lot better. We are a disgrace without them. HARRIS WARNER KHAWAJA SMITH HEAD HANDSCOMB CAREY CUMMINS STARC LYON HAZLEWOOD That doesn't look that bad a team. It will be interesting to see how they go in England.

Lucky to get the 3 points tonight. Wanderers had their chances. Toivonen what a legend! Need Honda back if we are going to finish top we are a different team without him.

Did Casey sign a ruckman Norm? Don't know anything about the new players except Tynan.

Lewis no way will Hunt get a game ahead of Lewis. Guthrie hates Lewis. Got to be extremely doubtful that Joel.Smith will get a game ahead of Hannan and Vandenberg.

To not be in the top 3 is a disgrace. I think our forward line can match anyone's. I think they put us so low is because of the loss of Hogan. Christ he is over rated.

Go the mighty Stars. I may have gone too early in sacking Fleming I hope all is forgiven. 3 in a row I didn't see that happening, the test will be when Maxwell, Stoinis and Zampa go off to one day duty. A waste of time one dayers it's been taken over by 20\20, one dayers should be scrapped free to air doesn't even want it.

VFL update: A word from the coach CASEY DEMONS B: LOCKHART, O.MCDONALD, TYNAN HB: HUNT, PETTY, J.WAGNER C : STRETCH, MAYNARD, BAKER HF: KENNEDY HARRIS, KEILTY, HANNAN F: GARLETT, T.SMITH, J.SMITH FOLL: BRADTKE, VANDENBERG, C.WAGNER IC: HUTCHINS, WHITE, MUNRO, MACHAYA INJ: LEVER OUT: SPARROW, JORDON, NEITCHKE, BEDFORD, CHANDLER, WALKER, GENT, M.LEWIS, STOCKDALE, MCCAFFERY, BUXTON-WALES, VELLA, TAYLOR, GAHAN, LOWDEN

Pedo was definitely cooked. I haven't given up on T.Smith yet he played a great game against Adelaide and also against Carlton. His kicking and consistency are a major problem.

Phili will win mark my words.
