Harvey Wallbanger

Troy Chaplin said he was contracted for next year in his press conference today.

But maybe Georgia Campbell misses out. Tayla Harris started really well on Saturday night - I wouldn't be dropping her if her eye is OK.....

Where do we find the official announcement - Marty Hore and Mark Williams? Any chance members ever get anything from the Club first?

Lily had 7 disposals - limited opportunities (predominantly wing) from just 43% game time. Goldy adds a lot with her run and vigour, probably off half-back. Someone has to go out for Goldy, so reckon there is high chance Lily is omitted. There - you got it out of me.

"Denuto may not win many cases, but he’s loyal, well-meaning, and always ready to argue “the vibe,” even when he hasn’t quite read the fine print." If only he could get that printer to work!🙂

I think I know why you asked that question.....do you want to re-phrase it? 🙂

All 30 listed players in attendance, with Jacinta Hose (LTI) continuing her rehab. Also present was a train-on player, left-footer (unidentified). Of the 23 who played on Saturday evening, all participated fully with the exception of Tayla Harris, who did all the drills but sat out the match sim - probably just to avoid any further eye contact - if you know what I mean! Tahlia Gillard, Grace Beasley, Denby Taylor and Gabby Colvin continued their rehab. Based on yesterday's injury report I would expect Sinead Goldrick and Georgie Gall to come into this week's team.

HeraldSun reporting Jai Culley close to signing one-year extension. Not official yet.

Definitely "went the biff".

Gee, Leigh Matthews gave the Club another serve tonight - right in front of Bucks, On the Couch....

So an early injury report reveals that Xavier won't be available for Friday night (and therefore done for the season, and Hendo (groin) and Jeffo (big toe) sound like they will be unavailable for Casey finals - but both are TBCs. Oli Sestan however is ready to go.....

Nasiah waited until late in the game and got $2 million per year. 🙂

Don't think so - reckon it was No. 21.

"The membership has no clue how they run day to day, and nor should we." Interesting take on things - might explain why we are 7,000 members lighter now than we were this time last year? Anyone heard from the Member Engagement Committee formed with urgency and to much fanfare a year ago?

TMac did not seem to be restricted in any way at training today.

They do love their soccer! All 23 who played on Saturday present other than McVee and Viney. TMac with the group so that seems to confirm that the half-time substitution was "tactical". Henderson and Sestan both present as Ghosty reported. And AMW who is getting himself set for a big pre-season. Jake Lever was running, and moving quite freely. Xavier Lindsay also present and working with the physio. Although only listed as one week in last week's injury report, I would be surprised if they rushed Xavier to play on Friday night. No Windsor, McAdam or Hore. None of the AFL listed Casey boys present today, given they played yesterday.

Fair enough. They all get a week off now - which I suspect they need, and will benefit from.

He is playing off half-back. Less time in the mid-field.

That's good news if the MRC are OK with us - however it's a hollow comment, as they have no say in our project. Our plan does not involve any money for building grandstands for the MRC. The MFC plan does not envisage any grandstands at all - because our ovals are inside the track.

In the wild card round 7 plays 10 and 8 plays 9. The two winners take the 7 and 8 slots and the finals continue as per the AFL Final 8 system. So we are in the first elimination final 5 v 8 in two weeks' time.

Yes, finishing fifth should give us a home final against the lower-ranked wild card winner, so that will be either Williamstown, if they beat Collingwood: or if Collingwood win we will play the winner of Richmond/Giants. And we get a week off of course.

Kolt was excellent, particularly in the second half - won lots of contested ball and his disposal was superb...

In fairness, Jeffo had treatment on a foot injury with taping across the top of his foot, and played very little of the second half.

Meahan is correct. She has been on the MFC PCNR (in case you're wondering, People, Culture, Nominations and Remuneration) Committee since April, so she'll be on the Board soon....

Right in behind Ghosty. WOMEN Of the named 21, no Lauren Pearce (but that's not unusual for Loz). Molly O'Hehir on the bike, in trainers and didn't train but another trackwatcher chatted to her and she said she is playing (perhaps a corkie from training yesterday?). Kate Hore also did not join the main group but was moving more freely than on Wednesday. I reckon she will still be a "test" for tomorrow. I reckon if either of the two don't get up perhaps Goldie comes in? No soccer balls for the women but they played short-field American Football! Loads of rehabbers working away. MEN The named team all present and didn't spot any of the emergencies - Billings, Adams or AJ - maybe they will all have preferred a full training day with Casey? No rehabbers.
