Verrall = lackadaisic Ollie trailing in on the sprint to drinks Fritta now running the boundary at good pace

McAdam now having shots at goal by himself

A little late on this, but haven’t seen K White

Lever, McAdam, Spargo & Lindsay in rehab

Campbell has a slow, loopy pass

Fritsch is not kicking in the short pass to lead activity. Salem is running with him and he hands it off

Haven’t seen Boy George this morning

I’ve counted 42 out there at the moment

Gawn and Melksham first out, closely followed by Tholstrup

That is possible. I’m basing my observation on observation. Perhaps your pov was opinion based. Whatever the case, I acknowledge that yours preceded mine and if I vomited it was because I felt sick about another possible upheaval at MFC. I don’t know if Max stepping aside would be good for the club, but it may be good for Max!

I'm joining some dots here, and I may be way off the mark. I'm not worried by that because no harm will be done sharing this. I've got the impression that big Max has taken a step back from the captaincy role he has filled so admirably. He needed to get away from it all. He was definitely worn out by the turmoil swirling around MFC in 2024, he said as much. I felt he was happy to take a back seat during the community camp, and I get the same feeling watching recent sessions at Gosch's paddock. Happy to be wrong on this... but we may see a transition in leadership in 2025. Shoot me down!

But Jess wasn't running on lawn!

I wouldn't say he is lighter, but he looks in great nick. I suggest he is at record lows for the skinfold test.

I was impressed by Kossie's 2k run. He seems to have trimmed down and the engine is stronger for longer. I suspect a new role for him in 2025.

Billings is no slouch when it comes to middle distance. He looked impressive winning his group from a blistering final 200 by Viney!

Was that immediately after running a very quick 2k?

Clayton finished well to pip Roo in his group… not leader but impressive drive to the line. Jack Viney ran a brilliant last 200 to get very close to Billings in his group.

Kossie just won his group!

I heard Kelani White is here!

Running shoes on!

A very pregnant Mrs McDonald is here with young son to meet Dad. He says Dad is going to run slow!

First players just coming out of AAMI

The cones are out for the short warm-up activities

Might be the timed run this morning.
