Graeme Yeats' Mullet

It's official We've been very hard done by from injuries

Fair go! While Lewis is (almost) cooked, he's a 300 game 4x Premiership player who's provided great leadership and guidance to a young team God help us if we'd managed to draft another (+1) Pick 48 who'd be turning 22 this year and probably playing at East Ringwood

I did... I'm down to the last 4-6 applicants! ?

I watched him closely and while I have no medical qualifications or experience whatsoever I feel comfortable offering my opinion........ He trained the whole session but was only in rehab group, strapped calf, but moving pretty freely doing running drills. Finished up later part of session with some kicking to leading target ANB, and then some shots on goal. If he had a strain and wasn't going to play then surely wouldn't have been out there or limited to just light exercise...?? It was sooooo frrrzzzziiinnn cold ❄️ My take was just getting the cork mobile, then obviously icing after training. I give him the all clear to play!...

ANB, Stretch and JKH are about all we have in terms of genuine runners. Hopefully Baker lifts into this category too. Until we develop or replace them I can't see us getting rid of any of them at this stage. We need to preserve them, or make them depth by adding better Wagner, Maynard, Lewis, Garlett would have to be out from main list at end of year T Smith, one/two others potentially from rookie list. And you'd have to think AVB is some sort of retirement arrangement potential There's probably about 7 spots before any trades OR any call on/from Jones

✌️

Was in rehab group for the training session with calf strapped, but moving relatively freely. Did plenty of jogging and kicking. Suggests a bit of a corky only, ice is consistent But wouldn't surprise if the glad wrap prank turns it into a 4-6 week scenario given our season!

Lever didn't get through training, Hannan needs another game at Casey surely In: Salem, JKH, ANB, Weids, Hibberd,  Out: C. Wagner, J Wagner, Spargo, Petty, Fritsch Edit: Surely Preuss plays... maybe replaces T Smith ? Or even T Mac ffs

Lot's of Goal-kicking during and after training today, even more Behind-kicking... No kicking coach visible ?‍♂️

From: Salem, JKH, ANB, Weids, Hibberd, May (all looking ok, ANB back in main group just dodged the match simulation drill) Rest of injury list: Hannan had the knee tested, but continued in main group, KK going ok, No Petty, Lever off early, Lewis (Ok but susp). No sight of rest (too cold to bother)

Was Hore, Hibberd, Lever (No sign of Petty Hore calf, still working and looks ok ? Hibberd lots of tackles (think he's now main group?) Lever, run throughs, moving Ok but clearly not 100% ANB has joined Hore now for some kicking

Lever just left track direct from rehab group, hasn't joined main group Doubt he plays

Marty Hore in rehab group, calf strapped No Petty visable on training track This may tip Goody's hand

Unsurprisingly Melksham injury timing blowing out another 5-6 weeks.

Ok, I've resisted long enough but I'm finally convinced... Retire him! Can't put up with this [censored] from a supposed leader considering our desperate list situation

Dimensions?

His disposal efficiency was 45%, the worst in the whole team Given he got 22 touches, that's 12 potential turnovers, pretty big issue for a defender Edit: Apologies for the repetition of stats, just catching up

3aw news reporting Jake Lever says he's a chance to play despite rolling ankle

Wrong, this is the highlight ? https://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/victoria/melbourne-victoria-hit-by-heavy-rain/news-story/73c71cd03c7a2c8e8001aec9317361aa

Hmmmmmm So if your name is "legion", then surely it has a capital L ?

Baker looks promising, so I disagree on that Otherwise spot on

Agree None deserve a spot on Today's performance, and would drop all if returns from injury allow. Spargo was just lethargic tho Lockhart was good v GCS 2 weeks ago, has potential but not best 22, perhaps worth a few more chances

Massive fail, Taylor surely gone given mediocrity of our recruiting!

Saw it from a distance Level 2, looked like only bloke in Orange, must've been mouthing off a bit because was cheered out by about 3000 people from Lvl 1 and 2
