WERRIDEE

I can't believe only half the MCC Melbourne supporters are Melbourne Members. Being a Melbourne member should be the first priority.

You wouldn't have a team based on pre season form. I said I considered pre season form. That's why Frost, Spargo and Fritsch are in and O.Mac, Hannan and Vanders are out.

No Melbourne no interest. I agree with dee zone SOO would be so much better. Don't get injured boys. Just a Marvel marketing exercise.

Got there before anyone else at around 8:30 Where the rehab started with running laps. Lever led out the rehab group he oozes leadership. He just jogged laps. Hannan left before 9:30 everyone was in attendance. Viney and Melksham left pretty early too. Most of them done kick to kick and jogging laps as well. Baker jogged laps for a while too. Hore is only a week away from joining the main group so that's what the applause was about. Just before 9:30 the non rehabbers showed up. They went into game simulation with 3 teams yellow, white and blue. I saw Frost turn over a ball straight to Sparrow, JKH get caught holding the ball. Spargo done a terrific tackle on Sparrow to applause and Fritsch done a terrific tackle on T.Mac. The rest was pretty good standard. Bradtke has to hit the gym hard there is nothing of him. The big improver next year will be Nibbler was in everything and is fit and firing. Sparrow looks like he belongs didn't notice a lot about the other newbies. The rehab group is big but as Hannan said better in rehab now so your fit and firing in round 1. Nearly all of them should be back in the main group in the new year. Viney said he'll be back very soon and Stretch and Vanders said they will be back by January. It should only leave Lever the one to worry about after the new year. I was a bit preoccupied by autograph hunting on my away jumper. I was a bit disappointed that a lot of the players walked the other way of the autograph hunters. Maxy and Chunk were great were a fair few others, but I missed Maynard and T.Mac because they walked the other way, I somehow missed Keilty and Petty walked away from me and never sighted Goody or Jordon when it was time for autographs. The crowd was big due to the Barassi foundation where they spoke about the new facility at Jolimont. I saw Robbo, Greg Hutchinson (not sure why he was there) and of course the great Ron Barassi I was right near where that video of Barassi and Todd Viney's (who was also there along with Whelan who has put on the kg's) dog was waiting for autographs.

i'm looking at the wrong thing.

I'm going will post a report later in the day.

I'm going to the last session on Friday I promise no appointments. Does anybody know what's happened to Hannan?

Call me weak is [censored] but I've just changed teams. I've gone from the Stealers to the Eagles now that I know that Johnston is getting a game for them. Go Johno?

We beat Detroit without Embid the 76's are looking good we will be up there this year.

Another great win by the Victory. On our way to back to back YOU BEAUTY?

I can't make it I have an appointment that I forgot about. It will have to be next Friday, sorry.

I agree but Garlett is a surplus now if he plays well great but he is replaceable a few years ago a 40 goal forward wasn't. Hannan, Fritsch and Spargo can replace him and not forgetting the new recruits in Bedford and Chandler. I'm going on Friday will most of the players be there or will it be like Wednesday?

Will Bradtke play ruck and forward? Where will Walker play? How tall is he?

Does anyone support the A league? Saw there was no thread. How good are the Victory going? Looks like we are going back to back. How good is Honda? Could still play in the main leagues today. The best marquee player ever in the A League. I also support the stars in the big bash Storm in League 76's in NBA. Stealers in NFL Everton in EPL. Just got Kayo sports so hopefully watch more 76's and Stealers games. So I should be on the other sports topics a lot.

22 all australians

Melbourne to win the flag easily. The Dees won't lose a game. Viney to win brownlow and B&F. Oliver to finish 2nd in both. Hore to debut round 1. Gawn to kick 40 goals. Most improved Weideman. No Melbourne player will be on the slide they will all be amazing.

That's even worse than the other bloke. GO AND GET F'D

Get stuffed on those 2 despicable stuff. Why would you want to predict injuries?

Leave Saty alone he's a legend. As for wiseblood and dazzle they are the scum of the earth. The only thing they offer demonland is potting other posters especially saty. It's a disgrace and they should have a permanent ban that's why I have them on ignore even though some of their comments seep through like wiseblood's continual insults on saty. Well I've decided to go on Friday when all the boys are back so you will get at least 1 report (unless it rains). I haven't been to training since they trained at the western oval in 2001 when Woewodin was in the red and blue so I'm excited about going. If anyone has any questions they want asked I'm willing to try and answer them.

DEPTH CHART SELECTED SIDES B: LEVER, MAY, JETTA HB: HIBBERD, O.MCDONALD, LEWIS C : KOLODJASHNIJ, OLIVER, SALEM HF: PETRACCA, WEIDEMAN, NEAL-BULLEN F: GARLETT, T.MCDONALD, PREUSS FOLL: GAWN, VINEY, BRAYSHAW IC: HARMES, JONES, VANDENBERG, MELKSHAM CASEY B: HORE, FROST, J.WAGNER HB: HUNT, KEILTY, SPARROW C : STRETCH, MAYNARD, BAKER HF: FRITSCH, PETTY, HANNAN F: KENNEDY HARRIS, J.SMITH, T.SMITH FOLL: BRADTKE, SPARGO, C.WAGNER IC: NEITSCHKE, JORDON, BEDFORD, CHANDLER, WALKER Our major weakness is the small forward position Garlett is still our best small forward but is out of form. I hope the club give him every chance to find some form during the preseason. We are a ruck short Bradtke should be full forward he is earmarked to be the replacement for Hogan. My system is 1 tall back, 2 key backs, 3 small backs 2 outside mids, 3 inside mids and a ruck 2 midsize forwards 2 key forwards 1 small forward and 1 tall forward.

DEPTH CHART backline: (19) key defenders: May, O.McDonald, Frost, Keilty tall defenders: Lever, Hore, J.Smith, Kolodjashnij, Petty small defenders: Jetta, Hibberd, Salem, Lewis, Fritsch, Hunt, J.Wagner, Sparrow, Jordon, Neitschke midfield: (26) inside midfielders: Oliver, Viney, Brayshaw, Harmes, Maynard, Jones, Spargo outside midfielders: Kolodjashnij, Fritsch, Stretch, Baker, C.Wagner, Sparrow, Jordon, Neitschke, Petracca, Neal-Bullen, Kennedy Harris, vandenberg, Hunt, Salem rucks: Gawn, Preuss, Bradtke, T.McDonald, Weideman forwards: (19) key forwards: T.McDonald, Weideman, Bradtke tall forwards: T.Smith, Gawn, Preuss midsize forwards: Melksham, Petracca, Neal-Bullen, Fritsch, Jordon, Hannan, Walker, vandenberg small forwards: Garlett, Bedford, Chandler, Spargo, Kennedy Harris I think we have all bases covered some have 2 positions Fritsch and Jordon have 3. With what I'm looking at it looks like premierships for both Melbourne and Casey.

It's not a toss up Oscar has never been dropped, Frost has played plenty of VFL football. The footy department has faith in Oscar it doesn't have faith in Frost. May is in and unfortunately for Frost he makes way.
