Am also remembering some of the panelists - Mike Williamson, Butch Gale, Chicken Smallhorn, Bert Deacon....any others come to mind?

Might be getting the shows mixed up but Jack Edwards, Ted Whitten, Allan Aylett come to mind, Potter from the pies?

Oh bother...should have asked the fella himself when I saw him in that new cafe in Murrumbeena before Xmas...(made my day)

I think Hibberd, the Weid, ANB and Jones may struggle for a game.

OMc would prefer on 3rd tall.

I like Petty because he plays with some niggle.

If Joel or Aaron get fit we should play them because they can get injured looking in the mirror.

Hore and Lockhart should force their way in somehow.

I am quoting from schoolboy memory

If you go again tonight, I would suggest Smokey

I thought we sold Leighoak for ethical reasons.  Companies do not own properties because it is a poor use of capital and like said not core business; there are tax advantages to leasing I believe.

Furthermore a company with too many assests opens itself up to vulture takeover from likes of Bond/Elliott/HolmesaCourt.

Anyway it is MFC policy not to make a profit otherwise AFL will turn off life support?

5.  What a miserable set of questions.

To me it means we definitely want Weightman as our second pick, who is currently rated as mid teens pick.  So why waste pick 8 on him?

Chosen because he is cost effective - 2 coaches in one; think of the travel $$$ savings.

I thought it was listed as groin.

Either way he was running the boundary at a reasonable pace

Must have been very short kicks

Well they were pretty much chip kicks - perhaps down the Northern end would be more accurate; they had to keep out of the way of the backs doing the clearance drill

Backline group of Nietschke, C Wag, Lever and Jetta practicing clearance drill to leading forward, Sam W

At various times Bradtke, Chandler, Nev and Petty running/sprinting the boundary.

Preuss doing some type of fwd work under instruction from Bernie?

Did Vanders, Smith or Oscar Baker train? 

Thanks DS for the reports.

Vanders boxing, didn't see the other 2.  Hannan and Spargo not there.

Is Bernie still at the club? Barely heard boo from him?

Apparently Bernie V was seen at training last week.

How do you know they are on holidays overseas? Did they all send you their itineraries for the off season. I assume from your comments Burgess has CC you all their individual program's as well.

I would be very disappointed if any of the players came back and were not ready to go this year and to steal Chookrat's mantra "I'll believe it when I see it".

I am interested to see what "condition" Langdon and Tomlinson turn up in. Anybody seen anything of these two yet?

 

As Tomlinson played in the GF I assume he is not due back for weeks

It's a great time of the year. We haven't lost a game in months, and I can't see us losing one for at least another 4 more

Wait till the intra club practice match ( and the umps usually murder us)

From memory didn't do much in his 1 game but his kicking has some depth to it and seems to have reasonably clean hands - worth another run.

I assume this is more part of the coaches collective agreement ie you are entitled to x days professional development.

Didn't ND go to New York to meet some famous coach and came away with a 10 min tour of the locker room and  an autographed photo?

With the importance of data analysis I reckon we create the position of Hacker; someone who hacks in to other teams systems and completely corrupts their data.  A modern day version of cutting the oppositions coaches phone line to the bench.  ?

The Wagners at times tend to watch the game rather than participating.  This is due to lack of experience and perhaps confidence or fitness.  Hope Corey has a great season;  is worth another look.

I like him because I get the vibe that the opposition doesn't.  Has some mongrel in his game.

Do many players wear a watch at training?

At 186cm/80kg thats a nothing size.

Too be honest, until he does something I haven't got a clue.

I thought Nathan Jones was high up the 'Fine' list for current players...but he is getting close to 300 games

2019 has been the year I pulled right back including pretty much cutting off all football media (which was a great decision even if Melbourne were flying).

After the high of seeing us win two finals in person in front over 90,000 people (I wasn't even that upset about the preliminary final loss) to then go back to be complete and utter rubbish in less than six months just crushed me.

 

This decision - was it due to an external review?
