Haha laughable. Even with those guys playing Daicos still gets the number 1 tag and performs at an incredibly high level. What difference does it makes if they retire. Hate Collingwood all we want, but the guy is a dead set star and its scary what hes achieved so far at his age.

Ha. He wouldn't even be in my top 3 of best Melbourne captains I have seen in my time supporting the Dees. Garry Lyon David Neitz Nathan Jones Max is an absolute champion footballer in every aspect from an on-field work. But that doesn't automatically mean you are a great leader, and Max aint a great leader.

Really? I personally cringe when Max speaks publicly to be honest. Each to their own.

Albury lad represent! Well done disco.

Never rated Max as a skipper and still dont. In saying that, I think he will do one more year and then hand the bat over. Daniel Turner would be my next pick, but keep an eye out for Xavier Lindsay over the next few years. Rated internally highly for his leadership qualities at such a young age.

I agree that it is aimed rurally and local audiences, but as other have said, 4:10 on a Friday afternoon is just weird scheduling really. Had it been on a Saturday then yes, people outside of the area like myself could make a day of it. Oh well, cant please everyone i suppose.

Got a bit of a sad story on Tassie. I know an ex player really well from the Daniher era. We got talking about the past players club that is quiet big now within AFL circles and the fantastic job Rod Grinter has done in creating that to what it is now. Unfortunately it started because word had gotten around that 'Tassie' has been pretty ill for the last couple of years to the point where he had to have a leg amputated. There was some pretty horrific ex VFL injuries that were still giving him grief even after so many years on from his playing days. Not only that, he was living in an old commission home up on the coast with his wife being his main carer giver with little to no support. No support or help from the AFLPA, so the past player decided to raise some money and help Tassie and his wife Lyn out with medical expenses as well as equipment and other general items. Pretty said for such a legend of the footy club.

How did Riley Onley train?

Well its been confirmed that he will be missing the first 12 games if the year. They can easily place him on the inactive list from here on as it would be considered a long term injury especially if they want to be extra cautious and give him more time off or even the full 12 months.

As in copped a bake at training today?

Wonder if this potentially opens up a SPP spot for Boweys injury.

I presume its Rhett Mclennan, Riley Bonnar or Dylan Roberton

Dont tell me thats the dreaded beep test they're doing out there today..

I think for the first we are witnessing how much of a huge loss Todd Patterson is to our AFLW list management..

Maybe Matty Lennan is the succession plan?

Best mates with Luke Beveridge. Wonder if there will be some form of pulling power there.

Buys stocks on the Gold Coast Suns. Their list is scary good if there is one man that can bring them their first maiden cup its Dimma.

I have no idea what the [censored] you're talking about to be honest.

You're easily pleased. Good for you. Id rather good a good detailed training report in a training thread. As I said, if thats for you, go start your own thread.

Thanks @Demonland and the rest of the track watchers who provided a very thorough and detailed training report. Much appreciated. To the rest, please start a nicknames thread and leave it on there. Some folks honestly dont give too hoots about nicknames and prefer just to come here and read training reports as per the thread title. Cheers, knackers.
