Fritta and Turner

Sharp has fitted in well and runs like the wind. Getting lots of encouragement from team mates which is a good sign, Howes (and Sestan) had a little niggle 2 weeks back and spent a week in rehab. Back in training but seems to lack any type of X factor, doesn't standout - I recommend lemon rinse....

Dunno about change in game plan etc but Jonesy sure looks like he is enjoying himself.

He doesnt look camp by any means but he looks a happy camper....(apologies in advance)

Once again a very pleasant day watching the training with a full squad in attendance. It took me ages to find Jed Adams until the boys started yelling Jed Jed Jed (dead give away) and i realised he was in a No number Jumper. No Kalani White but Toby Sinnema was there. Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay and Fritter in rehab ie not taking part in all the drills. They did a separate drill and then on the bikes and running the boundary. Don't know whats wrong with Fritta but it aint running. Lever dragged the bike to the boundary line and yelled encouragement, and you better be encouraged ok!!!! AMW did a great block on the Kolt and a fantastic tackle on Viney. Maysie gives instructions to the backs with a flick of a hand and guess what, seems to position well and find space. Langford has a first and 2nd effort and seems to instinctively know where the ball is in a contest. He also looks like Turner but with curls. AJ ready to go and is strong at it. Kynan shows plenty of run and dash. Hore wacked his knee cap on the ground, a minor cut, and had some strapping as a precaution. Tracca had the cap with a 'sun shade' on the back. (Reminds me of the cartoons I watched years ago). Moving well. Sharpie looked er sharp and got lots of vocal support from his team mates. Campbell looks like he is enjoying it. Max and Clarrie were gassed at time. Clarrie did not participate in the match sim at the end. I think Kynan pulled out early. Not many track watchers as last time but the number grew to 60+.

Or drinking out of the Entwash?

That other trainee is Toby Sinnema in the 1st and 4th photos....

thats a real Dad joke

Get Kalani White now!!! Really looks the goods but needs some upper body work obviously. With the full squad at training it was hard to spot standouts or for that matter concentrate on any particular player. Turner, Langford and Lindsay yet to get numbers on their backs. Spargo on the bike, Lindsay, McAdam and Fritter running the boundary. Chin is obviously well respected by the club and said a few words to the group. TMcs family always seem to be in attendnace at training. About 60+ onlookers at any one time with the highlight being the HUN camerman who asked which one was CP5. Really?

Camp Brand eh?

Thx; I checked an hour ago but it hadnt been updated..

When are the players back training in Melbourne?

Got a weird email from the club last night saying As an MCC member why not also join the MFC....I think...20 years too late for that; and my membership pack arrived 10 days ago....

My phone hasnt rung....

Turner?

Yes. My comments were only in the context of TAF which is Caulfield.

According to the MFC Financial Statements the club currently has $9.6 mill in financial assets allocated to the Training and Admin Facility (TAF). The club is confident that this can be raised to $15 mill. The capital in the Future Fund will not be used for this purpose but some of the income generated by the FF maybe, until the $15 mill target is reached. The cost of the feasibility study of $300,000 was totally funded by the state government.

The cat sat on my head at 3.00am so to get back to sleep I read the mfc financial report. I think somewhere in there is a note that stated that the full Brayshaw payment was included in this statement as per Australian Accounting Standards. (sounds a tad Monty Python).

Wasn't expecting this....

as in (francis) Xavier Lindsay? Is that a nick name?

More likely I got the day wrong - Monday... Put it down to post draft hysteria

Who isnt?

Was running the boundary on Wednesday

So thats why I thought Petty was everywhere

Sure trains like he has got it.

A pleasant day at training, for me that is, not the players who were working hard and with some aggro i might add. Some of the tackles lasted somewhat long. Viney first out having shots on goal. I reckon heaven for Viney would be footy all year round. Campbell has his team strip and was running the boundary. Also did that strengthening exercise where the trainers lies on top of you and you have to get up. Then they swap over. Looks happy to be here and has the look of someone who wouldnt be out of place in Game of Thrones wielding an axe. Lever doing that weird stretching exercise again. The last time I tried anything like that I was actually tripping over. Spent most of his time running. Howes and Sestan, who both had niggles last time, moved freely running the boundary. TMc was in the drills and running very well for November, with some pace. Turner looking really strong in the contest. Spargo still doing rehab. Loved AMW in the contest. Petty and Hore very good at reading the flight of the ball. Marty always looks taller than I expect. Clarrie moving very well and no sign of a sore hand. Breaks the tackles with those magnicient hips. Roo doesnt like to get beaten. Ghost Writer in excellent form.
