At the moment Mark Jamar is only scheduled to participate in one training a week which will be main training👍🏼

Henderson has made a very strong impression since coming in. Anyone who is surprised about his inclusion shouldn’t be given how he played against Sandringham last week in a practice match. Think there’ll be a few in the side fairly nervy about their spot with someone who wants to work as hard as him to get a crack. Great signs for the squad depth at the moment even more so because of the unavailability of Koz, Judd, Melksham and Koltyn💪

He has just replaced Turner (illness) in the squad. Will be an emergency with Tmac and Billings.

Corey is the one who has already shown a fair bit in comparison to Tairon (albeit only in his 15/16’s year.) Here’s hoping.

Tmac played for Casey today 👍🏼

I must say “Demon Spirit” is absolute rubbish. Done to death now. Was hoping for something new this year. Would also love a new emblem. Love the MFC badge but everything else about it is no good.

Usually Cull.

Kentfield is 44. 46 the next available with 34 seemingly reserved.

Josh Gabelich has just reported that the paperwork has been submitted to the AFL for Culley to be a Melbourne player.

George based on what? Purely cause he’s a small forward? Because if that’s the reason, I’m sure there’s plenty more and better options around the state leagues than him. Lots of chatter for someone who has proved next to nothing. I’ve been to a few trainings and seen him do some flashy things but he isn’t near consistent enough and doesn’t do the defensive stuff and that is apparently the knock on him.

I think he more so said I don’t know why the deadline is before every club has played the practice game because that’s not ‘fair’. But because it’s not hawthorn in that situation he’d rather the deadline not be extended.

A bit outside the box but Jack Henderson did start his vfl career as a small defender and he mentioned that the other day too. Could come into Melbourne’s thoughts with Sharp kicking the goals he did.

Feel like Culley is being mis profiled. He is 194cm and 94-96kgs. He’s a big mid. Kolt isn’t that nor is he that type of player.

Article states that all clubs were contacted and supported the idea because it should be fair game for every club (re all clubs getting a practice match before the window shuts). Good to see the AFL being proactive.

Jay Clark is now reporting that the AFL will open up the SSP period for this week so Melbourne and Carlton can sign replacement players.
