Tx very much for this. I hope Tommo gets a regular gig down back this year. I didn't get why he didn't last year.

Sorry Mr and Mrs Leg. I wasn't really serious about the misogyny accusation. It was really more of a segue into how annoying I find it too. I wonder if it actually uses more energy grunting and screaming like some of them do. A few of the blokes are pretty noisy as well. Your right it wasn't around in the fine days of Kooyong and it's a blight on the modern day if you ask me. I mean if you just had a twenty shot rally, then yea a grunt after reaching for that forehand down for the line for the point, then maybe. But a noise after every single shot is just silly.

Isn't Petty an A lister?

Would won a few I reckon but more importantly it shows that we have some significant depth to our number one team. It's definitely going to be an interesting season this one, watching which players really step up and how others continue their development.

Don't be so sexist....it's bloody annoying from whoever does it. It puts me right off some players.

Probably worst ways to go than in a spa bath I suppose.

Soup de trois semainess

I remember watching an interstate game on telly during COVID. The commentator quipped that if his run up was any longer he would need to go into quarantine.

Would love to see Bbb fit and firing but it's been a long time since we've seen him. He's still relatively young compared to Tom Hawkins. I'm glad you still think he's a chance to get back to the team. He was the home and away leading goal kicker three years in a row at North so there's that. I don't feel positive about Tmac either. I know we have recruited some fwds but most aren't very tall. I guess anything we get from these two is a bonus. I hope I'm wrong and Bbb and Tmac go gangbusters this season. Cheers Pf.

Sadly, I don't hold much hope in seeing him even get a gig up fwd. He was cooked in the 22 finals and was pretty much injured all last season. Even a fit Bbb isn't very good at rucking from what I've seen.

It's true. But we all knew it was going to happen after the Gf. I also wondered how the Bont wasnt cited for his hit on Oliver in the 21 Gf.

Great pics and and well edited. Thanks very much Six6Six.

Apparently in other recent crime news the police received a complaint from a Braynard Maynard of the CFC that someone had been tampering with his mailbox. The claimant told Victoria Police "he had not received a single Christmas card from any of his friends."

So glad to have Marty Hore back in the ranks again. Was very disappointed after his departure but he's back again where he belongs. Won't be easy breaking into the best defence in the Competition but it he adds more pressure and depth. Maybe he'll get a gig with Rivers playing in the middle more often. I also hope Tomlinson is a regular in the backline this year along with a healthy and fit Salo.

Great pic of Max and Jvr. Even looks like Jvr is winning. Thanks for all the reports people. It's beginning to look a lot football is here again. Petty sounds like he's progressing nicely.

That was just brute force and deserved to go through the middle. No celebrations either. Quickly got ready to play again as the job wasn't finished.

Huge respect for this bloke after he went in and remonstrated with Maynard. A player who has his teammate's backs. Has been in career best form lately and we will need him firing again. It wouldn't have been easy losing the Captaincy. Most people would have cracked the sooks or just left. Not JV. Put his head down and got on with it. Says a lot about him. A true MFC loyalist.

If his form trajectory continues then we will have an excellent CHF. Something that we desperately need. I really feel he is going to be our next Gary Lion. At a young age, he really stepped up last year. Hopefully he has gained some more strength and can focus his aggression a little more. Gotta love that Roo chant. Here's to hearing a lot more of it.

Big call Layzie but you may be correct.

Thanks for this Werridee. A lot of work, all appreciated. I'm keen to see how Adelaide go this year. Seems to be a lot of feeling about they will be a finals contender. I don't think they will be.

If fit it's a pretty interesting fwd set up at in the twos.

kB round will be sold out.

Way to elevate the decorum Bbo.

Cheers to that SoNS. Would be great to see son of Shane star this year. Good call on Mcadam. Not like our fwd line doesn't need some help too. Haven't seen much of Howes but he seems to get a lot of love here. What about Jefferson....too soon?

Catholic schooling here.... Told not to see the Life of Brian......so we all saw of course.
