    PREGAME: Opening Round vs Sydney

    Were you you living under a rock?

    The media scrutiny on the whole Essendon drug saga was the biggest media scrutiny  I had seen in the AFL on a club alone.

    They literally had cameras parked out the front of James Hirds house from dusk to dawn and nearly drove him to his death. It was constantly front and back page of the Herald Sun for two years.

    Both Melksham and Hibberd have been quiet vocal around the intense media scrutiny and the toll it had not only on their mental health but their personal lives as well.

    The whole Wayne Carey cheating scandal was a close second even in the day and age where social media wasn't a thing. It was certainly one of the biggest and scandalous stories we've seen.

    To think we've copped as much scrutiny as these other events is just laughable. It doesn't even compare.

    In both cases they deserved to cop the media attention they did and probably more.

    They could still do some media/socials of what they are up to, seeing we are all a bit in shock and going quiet isn't the best way to move on.

    No training at Gosch's this morning. 

    Interestingly, some of the scheduled sessions ( https://www.melbournefc.com.au/teams/training-times ), are later in the morning 11.45 am. Not all are captain's run.

    Perhaps they are going to work a bit more on intention/purpose/review prior to hitting the paddock. 

    I am quite sur they would of completed training somewhere.

    You have done a sort if reasonable summary RIF.

    Strangely my post earlier comes up with some similar thought's. 

    I don’t have the apprehension most here have for our mids as I believe perhaps Goody will have to be creative no matter what. 
    Perhaps he can also be as creative with the forwards as well. 

    Out of the wreck we may find some rough diamonds who really develop quickly.

    Life is always full of opportunities and let’s put faith in the list to produce like youth and some experience can do. 

    There is a few shoots there who can grab the bull by the horns maybe. Let’s hope, let’s see. 

    The herald sun journalists this past week rated our midfield as number 1 in the comp. Today they have rated our defence as number 1.

    It’s a bit unusual isn’t it, we need to be on our toes Vs Bluebaggers don’t wNt to let them think they have our measure they have recruited well over the past few years.!!

    They may have decided to train at a different location away from the prying eyes of the media.

    NON-MFC: Match SIMs

    I watched a few mins on kayo a few moments ago and North are really moving the ball very well - they look very sharp with the ball movement. CFC were missing a fair chunk of their players though and pressure on the ball was nowhere near AFL level. 

    The game followed a similar pattern to ours in that Pies got off to a flyer and North then kicked 7 straight. Lets see how much focus this gets from the media.. My guess is that it will be glossed over and not receive anywhere the same amount of attention as our game did.

    You've taken it out of context. It reads with Windsor you can't fit them all in. Not that he's a spud, but I disagree Tomlinson and Schache are spuds the sooner they are off the list the better.

    You didn't type that exactly, have a look at your original post.

    @drysdale demon certainly did mention it in another thread. So, some of us are talking about it, as should everyone. What a generous contribution from a fellow-diehard Dees supporter. ❤️💙

    He was always very approachable, had many good discussions with him when he was on the board.
