Steven May Suspended for 1 Match
What do u expect him to do? Jump out of the way? Goodwin would’ve given him more than one week for doing that. You are allowed to block/body check a player from running through to receive the handball. There was no force for what May did. All he did was brace himself.

Even think of Burton on Higgins last year.

If Mummy can get off for his roundhouse to the head then May should get off for bracing himself for contact. Berry should be charged for trying to charge May ?

GAMEDAY: JLT 02 vs Brisbane
I saw Burton do worse on Higgins last year and got off. Come to think of it did he even get a fine? MRO won’t even look at it.

GAMEDAY: JLT 02 vs Brisbane
Jaded, didn’t you know if you pick it up and drop it like a hot potato while being tackled is ok, but picking it up and being tackled immediately by 3 opponents and trying to get rid of it is holding the ball lol ?

Quick-fire with Preussy
This Pruess fella must play for another team. You wouldnt think fans from the team he plays for would be bagging him on a public forum. That would be a bit, umm, low wouldn’t it? But not us Melbourne supporters. We’re better than that!

I agree Moon. I reckon he’ll have a breakout year. He played some good games toward the end of last year and he was just about our best in the practice match last week. He looked the goods today.

All of them were that I saw. KK said that he pulled up a bit tight last week. So they’ll back it off for a week or two then build him back up. Didn’t say exactly when as he probably doesn’t know himself. I guess we’ll have to wait and see how much progress he makes in the next few weeks.

Riewoldt rates Hogan as better forward than TMac
All he had to do was check social media and see that Jesse wasn’t smiling in any of the photos. But in all seriousness, Jesse was most likely happy here in Melbourne but I’m sure anyone could understand that he’d be happier over there where his family is, and he’ll be better for it. I wish him all the best. As for comparing Tmac and Jesse, Tmac is a more complete player. Has better aerobic capacity, better contested mark, better kick for goal, mentally stronger than Jesse. I think the only few things Jesse has over Tmac is his field kicking, decision making and age. By the end of this year Tmac will be conisdered to be in the top 3 of key forwards.

AFLW: Rd 4 vs North Melbourne
If that umpiring was against our men’s team I’d be minus a tv. Beyond atrocious

Most Heartbreaking Loss?
Yeah that game was probably the most deflated I had ever been. Worse than the 186 point defeat in Geelong as I knew we were better than that and had showed signs of playing good football. There was obviously a lot disconnect from the players towards the administration but that loss to Essendon was worse because we were as bad as the score showed and it looked like the club was finished... to my eyes anyway. But the most heartbreaking loss was Adelaides loss to WC in rd 23, 2017. Yes we should knocked off the pies but after 11 years of pure [censored], I would taken anyway to get in. I was in a rage. Had to go for a drive, crank up with music and swear every word you could think of as loud as I could until the rage was out of my body.

Yeah he was there. From the couple of passages of play I saw of him he looked as clean and composed as ever.

KK was there but I didn’t see Viney or the indigenous players there either. For those concerned about Tmac, I wouldn’t be too concerned. He was jumping up for marks in the marking drill. Body language was still positive. Could be a deload week for him. Itll be interesting to see who plays in the practice game on Friday.

Dang. I didn’t even see May. Not to say he wasn’t there. I didn’t notice many of the defenders as they were at the other end. Didn’t see Sparrow. It i saw Jordan and he looks lively. Laser left foot and quick. Bedford might be a surprise this year. That kid has a go. I saw he nailed big Maxy in a tackle a few sessions back and that was no fluke. Looks as though he loves the contest. I tell ya who looks fit. And that is Vanders. The guy just looks in ripping shape and ready to go. Expect him to go into beastmode this season.

I popped by for about half an hour. I was standing pint road side of the oval so only really had a good view of the rehabbers. Rehab consisted of Jones, Tmac, Lever and Hannan. Jones looks like he’s not far off from going the main group. Doing a lot of ground work, running, running shot on goal etc. only thing he wasn’t doing was contact work. Tmac, not sure what’s up with him. He’s pulled out of AFLX. Fritsch his replacement. Wasn’t in the main group and was doing some marking drills with Stafford as I got there. Then game over to the rehab side of the oval and wasn’t doing a great deal of anything. He and Hannan left the track early. Hannan was going some goal kicking practice. Nice guy. Had a quick chat to him and asked him how far he is away from the main group. Said he had a minor knee op to clear out some floating bone that was irritating him from his previous op. Said he’s really happy now and will start running next week, do a good 6 week block of running and training and aim for a round 2 or 3 return. Lever was doing a lot of marking and kicking drills with Jones and Crossy, then did some laps of the oval fartlek style. Was building up some solid pace. If the club wasn’t taking the extra causious approach with him, he could’ve looked at possible return in the early rounds. He’s building nicely. Melksham was in the main group. I apologize I didn’t get to see much of the drills but at one stage down my end there was one drill where the were a chain of handballs where it was start at about 20m from goal, a chain of handballs going back towards the 50m arc and the final player coming through at full speed running towards the goal and having shots on goal. The chain of and handballs were fast and slick and the shots on goal were very accurate. Who whole drill was very clean. No dropped balls, players weren’t breaking stride and no shanked kicks. I must say big Pruessy kicking for goal was impressive. Harmsey and Trac had a tendency to hook the odd kick but overall it was pretty good. Hope this is ok. I’m just going from memory as I didn’t write down any notes. if you have any questions please feel free to ask.

Pre-season Update from Viney
Fasting is not only to lose weight. It can be to gain weight, in particularly muscle mass. All that you are doing is changing your eating pattern, not necessarily how much you eat. The way it works is that your body adjusts hormone levels to make stored body fat more accessible. For example, human growth hormone with can promote muscle gain and fat loss. It has proven to drop insulin levels dramatically and cellular repair. This is when your cells initiate the cellular repair processes.
