Yes, I'm happy to agree. Everything Johnson did at his first hit-out read, "I'm not here to make up the numbers at Casey"

Sharp, Tholstrup and Fullerton just completed what looked like a 1500 or 2k run. Sharp lead but Tholstrup was with him all the way. Sharp by 5 mts in the end. Fullarton 30 Mtrs back. On that note, I’m off to parking meter… more when I get home!

Jefferson wrestles Johnson to the ground in a tackle, no mean feat

AMW just ran through 3 tough tackles, rugby style, bounced off each and delivered the handpass

Langford is already asserting himself in the close-in handball/tackle group. Just got tackled by Trac, also showed a nice side-step. Then he and Tholstrup got hold of a rampaging Trac and refused to give an inch

McDonald just out-marked Roo and is in peak pre-Christmas condition

Trac is in everything… often the last kick inside 50 to a lead, often Roo

22 players on main oval, full-field transition

Campbell doing ruck exercises out in Victory’s turf

Trac to Clarrie for a goal… a sight to see!

Choco chatting to Langford and Johnson on the boundary before unleashing them

Trac just nailed a 50 metre pass to Roo… wild cheers from the group!

Aidan Johnson is fitting in nicely. Plenty of pace, long arms, looks at home!

Fullerton may not be good enough for MFC best 23, but he played some good games at Casey and there is no need to insult him by suggesting he play for VFL seconds

As I have already stated, this was a puzzling selection

He wasn’t ever going to Casey. I’m finding a positive in an otherwise puzzling selection!

Think Casey, and protection for some of those young lads on our list.

Yes, I saw him running from wing to goals on the south-west flank

I'd describe it as full training with occasional easing down for his own good! (just a spindly pup at this stage).

Who has not appeared yet? Gawn, May, Petracca, Billings, Langdon, Melksham, McAdam, Fullarton, Kossie, Langford & Allan

Chris from Camberwell says a lot of things whilst purporting to represent the entire Melbourne faithful. He said Goodwin would be gone by Christmas! I've never heard him apologise for statements that were later shown to be lacking depth or reason. His annual cries for Jefferson to be accommodated in the forward line as the Messiah are enough to put me off the player altogether. Fortunately for Jefferson, he is now worthy of serious consideration if Roo, Disco or Fritta go down.

Didn't see Sparrow today.
