My guess would be that Jack isn't 100%, he was pretty good last season with out much help. His contact has another 3 years to flattern his payments in the clubs interests l imagine. If he plays vfl and guides the young blokes in his final year or two l can live with that

Footy clubs and maybe some other sports clubs are different. When you succeed you likely stick together for years on end and you grow to love your team mates and their differences. That's why footy is so great. l have 12 friends l have an annual trip with and watch our 1990/2000s matches l have digitised together over a few drinks. Nothing beats those memories and the trust and bond you have with them. Let there be more love at MFC

l don't sign up to the theory we have been terrible last 3 years even with the finals exits. We were banged up in one finals series and in the other we kicked poorly in front of goals which happens to everyone from time to time. If you said to me at the start of last season clarry would be unfit and trac would be missing for a large chunk and other injuries, were would we finish? l would have said we would miss finals. Last week and last quarter gws, seriously dumb football by experienced players bombing the ball long, it's been made clear not to do that.

He will play 2nds first

There is one way to fix it. Apart from predetermined rotations, players typically get benched for poor efforts or match ups. Well we need to extend this to inside 50 kicks. When a player bombs it when they have time, they get benched and have a few minutes to reflect

Our foward line drops from being ok in ability when pickett is there due to his class to below average when he is not there. The norf practice match turned when he came on in the last quarter. We sruggle without him. Lets not completely lose it though, we are 1 and 1 in terms of acceptable performances

Assume its in the soft cap

They have said they are giving back some time to the players ... wonder if thus training schedule is part of it

Jeff White to take over next year 😉

Mark has been great in the past and this creates good vibe no doubt. Though not sure with 2 super experienced current ruck options and Verrall not appearing to be progressing as quickly as l would like, who are the high potential young rucks he is going to teach?

Selwyn instructed players to head for gym for a session with Tommy Turner the strength and conditioning coach. Suspect that's the main reason for players attending today as the ground training has never been so light. Kolt injury still being monitored before a return to full training is decided. Bring on moomba

Kicking drills including set shots in 3 rotating grps all appearing slightly different. No real running in bw which explains the 1 lap warm up

Starting with only 1 warm up lap, then into a fun handball drill in 3 grps
