Think il wait for the real games before i judge the fitness levels

Yeah.. nah

Just found out that it was 1 year today that Dean Bailey passed away. He had his faults but i was one of a few that had alot of respect for the man. His son posted a photo on instagram of him in his last days looking very frail and sick and made me sad. Thoughts go out to his family.

Im just commenting to keep this thread on top.

Man thats sad to hear. Just shows the kid puts enormous pressure on himself and sometimes you can see that on field. As much as Roosy and the coaching staff try and ease the expectations on these kids it would be difficult for Toump to take that on board especially when he hears some of our idiot supporters who get on social media and twitter and say that we should have taken Wines instead of him. And he cant control what happened. The Toump has my support all along and will never lose faith in him. I can see the determination and talent there it just all needs to click.

Then a good opportunity for him.Im a big fitzy fan and i still see great potential in him. Just hope he fires up..

So the family day is this sunday? Make sure you all turn up next Tuesday.

All good.Just rest him till round 1 i think. These type of injuries can flare up if not looked after properly. Is Fitzy right this week??

I never said put a screw in it..

Screw it rest him till round 1.

Its obviously the club still has a long way to in terms of off field interaction with supporters. Its good that they apologized but Its just not good enough from a professional organization. Lucky i didn't make the trip down.

Didn't see the 'good' part.. My bad, carry on..

Wouldn't be surprised if its about Jeremy Howe putting off contract talks till the end of the year.

Great news! An up and coming midfield gun already added to the likes of Hogan JKH who signed extensions.

I was going to do the 3 hour drive down and spend the day in Melbourne.Lucky i didn't make it. And to the people saying that supporters complaining are over the top? Go and get stuffed! We toss money year after year into this footy club. We expect a little decency respect back. At the end of the day its the supporters money that keeps this club going. Its no wonder PJ says theres about 2000 supporters refusing to sign up because its the simple thing things that this club cant get right.

What an impressive individual. Love the bit where he says that when a kid is drafted he always promises the parents that he will take care of them like his own sons. Just shows why he was such an A grade talent developer.

Hogan was training indoors today??Either trainer had no idea or something fishy is going on again...

Mark Stevens just tweeted Hogan was training indoors as he has pulled up sore.. might not play this week.

Like the intra club another opportunity gone out the window. Dont spruik on some Nathan Jones advertisement about getting 35k before round one when you cant even get the basic most simplest thing done. Get ya [censored] sorted MFC!

Day is set to resume through the twos this weekend but not sure about Dixon

Shocking effort by the club. While the club will say it has improved off field this is by far the biggest downfall in the way it interacts with its supporter base. First the intra club and now this. Not good enough from a professional organization.

Here is a true story for you.One night Chris Connelly was at a shepp footy club doing a function when one of the coaches told him to come down and have a look at a kid called Michael Barlow. Raved on about him and even put forward the idea that maybe atleast Casey should sign him up so they get a proper look. Chris watched him train one night and put a line through his name and didn't want a bar of it. The rest is history.

While Vanders is listed as 188cm i too thought he looked alot taller. I wouldn't be surprised if his actual height is about 191. Big boy indeed.

LT absolutely spot on. I too witnessed him going in hard and laying some strong tackles. It does make me wonder though if its possible the club start giving him spells as an on baller? In his under 18s championship year he was playing as an onballer starting in the center and thats where i saw a hard running player who was linking up beautifully around the ground and just racking up big numbers of the ball including a 36 disposal game against one of them that i cant remembered. Since we have drafted him he has played majority of his time as a half forward where i think he is wasted. I look at someone like a James Aish and Leppa isn't afraid to throw him in the center and let him work into it. i also did mentioned that Toumpas was very stiff last year to get dropped when Salem was struggling himself and not getting alot of the ball. Again i thought he struggled against Freo. I think the coaching staff need to leave toumpas in the side for about 6 weeks and just back him in and let him have a good run at it. He will get great confidence in him and i trully think he can become a great player for us.

Cheers Doggies.
