I have fond memories of going to the finals and seeing the under 19's (I think), then the reserves, prior to the firsts game. Great for two reasons, such a full day and because our first team didn't often make the finals there was always some from MFC lesser division to watch. This allowed me to be less one eyed and become a fan of footy. The younger generation could be a bit that way. All that booing is so very destructive in its divisive impact on people and society. Love the double headers and the triple headers. Imagine seeing the MFC, women, then the seconds, then the first on a finals day, now we have become a "successful club". Just a pipe dream. Oh well, the Casey games will have to be on the telly.

What a shame, I haven't got a car and find Casey too difficult to get to. I'm pretty sure I am not alone in Casey being hard to get to. They obviously don't want the crowds but prefer the exposure to that developing area. Bad contract, I want a proper 2nds division, with all contracted MFC players and a home in the city. Stop the cost cutting by AFL honcho's. Thanks for replying mad (I'm not gonna take it any more).

Would have liked Smith to get a run, as playing in the VFL is a big step up to AFL. The benefit of getting used to the speed and pressure would have helped if he gets called on later. Also, to see if he is up to it at all.

Could that mean, a chance of another double header.

Agree, they have trouble at home, not that we will be out next week. To win the big one, we have to play the G better. That is why playing on it could give us the learnings needed to develop a system and confidence to do it well. We aren't far off and an extra game out there may be what we need. They will now be in the rhythm of sleeping in their own beds and having a routine without travel. If anything the travel must be a bonding exercise that they have to create when at home.

My guess for the training schedule is: Sunday 11.30 at Gosch's Tuesday 9.30 at Casey A captains run Thursday 9.30 at Gosch's

We're not playing the "G" well. Whenever we tried to take it through the corridors and not the boundaries we got found out. We seem to spoil each other by wanting to go at least two up in the pack, and we continually kick to contested and congested areas. I thought we were doing alright, but we have to take those opportunities. Great pressure from the Swans, we didn't handle that well. Many were fumbley and panicking. Need stronger leadership, to create a steadying mindset. We get to watch an extra final, if we can pick ourselves up and get our winning form happening at the "G".

It has been drizzling for about 10 minutes. I expect it to stop soon, petters out then comes back. Nearly stopped now.

I thought I'd see @WalkingCivilWarrun on the oval with hugs all round! Langdon had a walk by the cheer squad They did it again, this time Langdon with Hunty. Thought for sure WCW would sprint out. @WalkingCivilWar

Does anyone have a weather forecast?

Does that mean you'll be at "it" all day, in sympathy with Good and Hib.

Love that our back-line hate, hate letting goals through against them. It won't be like last night. The mids do everything to get the ball, our whole team is great at transitioning between defense and offence, the forwards are getting it together at the right end of the season. We have heart, cohesion and they buy into the Goody doctrine. To not get close, the wheels would have to absolutely fall off and be put down to a "bad day on the park". In worst case, we have a double chance. Great place to be. Our big guns (Gawn, Oliver, Trac, Vines, Lever and May) to lead the show, others to play their roles and take the opportunities. Hunty, Sparrow, Melksham and Langdon to have beauties. Hoping Fritta gets in the game early, probably the same to BBB, and Kysiah. Find the fast way to goal! Go Dees

Both teams are carrying passengers, and some who switch off or make the simple errors. Some of the goals after turnovers have been good. There is too much fumbling from both sides. Glad our coach never looks a goose when the vision pans to him. Big umpires advantage to Bris. Could be anyone's game.

He'll focus on getting the footy and leave everything else alone. Unless he doesn't learn the lessons, he can't be that stupid. He was a big distraction for the team, in the last fortnight.

Great that the finals are on. So glad we have home finals. Bris Rich will be a hard game. Big hits and arm wrestling.

Jordan is not named for tomorrows game. Was an "out" after being a medi-sub last time.

Is that the same excuse Geelong have been telling themselves? We won't use excuses, if we lose it will be learning's

Good to see the seconds on the paddock, about 3/4 of the way during the first squads run. Given that they have the bye, my guess is that they will be around the team all today and tomorrow, offering support, learning about the lead up to finals, and being, generally involved.

Hey Kev, perhaps you should delete old pics you’ve posted and that are no longer needed. You just go to your account, click on ‘my attachments’ and select the pics you don’t need, and delete. Thanks WCW, this worked for me. Now I have 4.88 MB.

Thanks WCW, cleared the 6 attachments, and I now have 4.88 MB. Wohoo

Does that mean, download the app, put the files on that app, then what? Use "other media", and insert into post from that url, or go to add files from that app. Can you give me more instructions, please . WCW said to clear the attachments in my account, that worked. No need to use imgur now. @demonlad

I have the same problem, sometimes under 1kb. If you edit and resize maybe they may fit. At the moment my upload capacity is 786 B. Amazes me that some can upload HD photos. Can those who do it, share, how? I messaged the mods and they said nothing could be done. It is why I can't send photos of training. Even after editing and resizing there is often not enough upload bytes available.

JVR, J. Smith, Salem, Dunstan, Bedford in the squad. Williams was again the most vocal out there, making sure they were taking the session seriously. The warm up, then grouped into the four corners, short kicks to coach with some run and handball receive. Another drill finishing with hitting the yellow target. They split into their line squads and did their stuff. Mids practising clearances, forwards working the marking bag and backs shuffling the ball around. In the 3/4 paced, no cotact sims against the coaches (they started with possession, Yze, bog), we had plenty of structure, voice, spread and then finding a corridor off the backline, and finishing with a goal. Finished the session with some goal kicking. No Hibbs. Rehab had Woewodin and Moniz-wakefield, Moniz-wakefield later joined the seconds in their run. I couldn't see a coffee truck, there were, activities for the kids and merchandise they were giving away, small flags, plastic cups and key rings with pictures of players on them. Just saw the text from WCW, apparently sausages. Great crowd, I thought the players were a bit overwhelmed, would have preferred to have a few more spectators at their previous sessions so as to make it feel normal. Could work the other as well, and get them fired up, though I prefer the stability and controlling the environment, plus, gives us a bit more of a connection.

Hipwood, Daniher, Cameron aren't too bad. Brissy are known as a scoring team, not so much for their defense. Taking it easy.

During the year when our forwards were struggling the mids kick plenty. Our forward line is doing better now, so hopefully we get a good spread of scorers
