Happy with that quarter and the effort was much better. For a club like ours to be quite depleted as we are, we certainly are putting I some good work.

Nice push by the fat spud in Josh Bruce

Really loving ANB game. His work rate is first class.

Jesus Jordon... ?‍♂️

Hes finished unfortunately. Very slow to react and he's just past it now.

I wanted Petty in for Tomlinson this week as Tommo was so poor last week against the tiges.

Jesus christ Jetta wtf was that.

Lever BOG so far

I'm patient mate, but he hasn't started well.

James Jordon is so far ready for senior footy. Drops a simple mark then gives away a silly free kick. Hasn't impressed at all.

Underwhelming so far

Awesome mate cheers.

Who's in contention for that list spot??

Wow interesting..

Mate the season hasn't even started....

Thanks mate. Hope that gives him a bit more motivation to prove the doubters wrong. I'm sure the club will still keep a keen eye on him.

So I'm guessing Laurie and Petty aren't playing tonight?

Captains run. A quick flush the day before the game. Has been happening for a couple of years now.

Interesting article by Jake Niall in regards to our midfield brigade. https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/melbourne-s-big-gamble-why-demons-midfield-stars-will-have-to-park-their-egos-20210307-p578kk.html

Michael Walters has officially done a hamstring! Rory Lobbe also potential significant knee Injury.

What time do team get released?

Interview by Riley Beveridge.

I honestly could be wrong.. but I SWEAR this was mentioned by Gary Pert or Bartlett maybe at the online members forum last year? Or I've read it somewhere at least. I'm pretty sure the arrangement is that we are training at Casey until the end of the year due to Covid whereas the AFLW is at Goshes.

I wanted to bring this back up on the AGM thread as it was an active discussion around our training base. As it stands the men's will be training out at Casey for the year. I've had my own opinion about this and I've felt that this simply cannot be a viable long term option because one of the key reason will be the struggle of attracting future recruits because of the distance etc. I have reasons but a lot have already covered it off in thr AGM thread. Interesting I was reading an article on Shaun McKernan just then and found this bit interesting around our obvious interest in him last year. Now I'm not saying that I'm spewing we missed out on him etc, but I do worry that by trying to attract big name players, this could be one of the key hurdles that may potentially effect us. He had a choice of his third AFL club, with Melbourne also showing interest in McKernan at the end of last season. He said the call to pick the Saints was ultimately based around location, with McKernan reluctant to travel every day from his home in Greenvale to the Dees’ base at Casey Fields. “It wasn’t anything to do with Melbourne. I had a pretty good chat with Goody [coach Simon Goodwin] “I told him it’s got nothing to do with where the club’s at, just really a personal decision.”
