MRC dont own the land. It is Crown land. And use of the ovals will not be rent free.

The CRCT will not be donating anything to anybody. The Trust will lease some disused land (currently the SE corner) to the MFC for our Admin and indoor facilities. This should provide the Trust an annual income of $250,000 (guesstimate) which I think the State Govt would consider a good thing. The Trust will also redevelop the inside of the race course for sports ovals/squares etc for community use with the MFC having right of use for a set number of hours a week.

AMW is still running with non contact group but is looking really good. No obvious sign that his injury is a hinderance.

In a sense yeah, dancing with your daughter, but some of the tackles I have seen have been bone crunching. With some big heads leaving there are more spots up for grabs so why not take out a competitor for your spot.

PRESEASON TRAINING: Wednesday 17th December 2025
Another glorious day at Goschs. Is TMc ever late for anthing. Guerra and Richo watching on. Guerra always looks like he is enjoying his job. Tom matthews had a bandage on his leg last friday but it hasnt been seen since. Always under the eye of a trainer and spends much time jogging, not sprinting, the line. The rehabbers, Langford, langdon, gawn, melksham, disco look ready to go. Langford had the 'paint' across the bridge of the nose, a la Adam Ant. The non runners were Viney, Miohcek, henderson and Lindsay. Brodie suffering from that military complaint of General Soreness. Would you believe that Viney and Lindsay carried over a 'ski' machine from AAMI. Unbelievable. Windsor is an absolutely standout. XT has some really smarts and reads the ball well. At times though he reminds me of the kid down the back of the class who couldnt sit still. Had 2 senior umps for the match sim. Onley is nearly as big as Jamar. It doesnt help when players are in the wrong jumpers. Campbell beating Heath in the grappling contestants. Lever and Salem are masters of holding their oppoent in the tackle a second or 2 longer. Maysie looked uncomfortable, some part of his body aint right. (like duh). Jogging, running the line. I assume the players loaded up with the fluids as there was much 'watering of the eucalypt trees'. CJ, can i say poetry in motion, beautiful running.

Reginald is his middle name apparently. It was his nickname before joining the MFC.

I would be surprised if the MFC got any government money. Rather the govt money will go to the CRCT/ Glen Eira to provide the sporting facilities etc within the interior of the racecourse. Even the tunnel could be funded this way as it is supposed to be public access. MFC will have to raise funds to build a new Admin block and indoor training facilities outside of the track, currntly proposed for the SE corner.

PRESEASON TRAINING: Monday 15th December 2025
When i arrived at 9.30 the regular rehabers plus May and TMc were out doing their special drills. No sign of Viney, Henderson, Lindsay and Tom Mathews though they did turn up late. Langford and Langdon wearing concussion caps and must be very close to joining in regular drills. Max and J Rivers wearing bucket hats. I got to thinking Have i watched too much footy? as I could identify Scarlett by the way he walked. Chin was in good voice. And yes they do call XT Reg. (Only the third Xavier to play for the MFC). Running the line was not as intensive as previous sessions but Shane and Reece gave it a go. May came off to change from boots to runners. Some of the younger players seemed very competitive in the drills as they know spots are up for grabs. And yes, most of the drills seem to be fast movement of the ball by hand or foot. TMcs family and others were in attendance which is always nice to see.
