Wonder if hes put talks on hold again? Worrying silence on this, don't want it to be a distraction all year.

Any news on Max ? Did he train ? Just concerned about his back

Strangely enough, The longer this goes on, the more confident I am that he will stay. Freo have struggled badly this year and I think that will be a major factor for Jesse. He seems to enjoy the lifestyle in Melbourne and the club is more than happy for him to go and see his family. The only other thing would have been the lifestyle but he has his club mates to go surfing with also so I dont think that will be a deciding factor.

Yes Viney has the propensity to turn it over but I am grateful he is actually getting the pill, its easy to have small turnover stats when you only get 10 possessions a game, but he is getting heaps of the footy so his turnovers will be higher. Nothing that can't be polished out of him when the season progresses

This is all talk from the coaches, There are a lot of players who play 85% game time even at AFL level, he is pulling up fine from games so then he will be ready. I understand they want to be cautious but as I said no one plays 100% game time at AFL level or VFL level anyway

Outs Oliver, Bugg, Pederson Ins Vince Garlett (If fit) Petracca I think this is the best game to unleash TRAC, if we can get the win it will be great for morale and will boost him even more playing in a winning team under lights at the G He ran out the game well on the weekend so fitness wise should not be too bad, Put him on a HFF so he can ease into it I understand Bugg was servicable on the weekend, but if we are truly to move up the ladder we need to be ruthless and cannot accept continuous poor disposal

Just a media conference, tweeted by Melbourne Fc

God I would take that option

Did they say press conference, or was it just a media interview ? They would be 2 separate things I would say

Is anyone at the match who can provide updates ?

I wasn't talking about Port's coin, I was saying they are further developed than we are so it would cost us more to lure him

He will not leave Port, he appears to be very loyal, unless we have a bucketload of cash (unlikely considering we want to keep hogan long term) Or they fall even further down the ladder and we have a meteoric rise. People have to remember players only have one career he won't want it to go backwards

How big does Trenners look though .. wow

If he is that miserable in the photo can you imagine if they make him do the xmas video HAHA Jesse "The Grinch" Hogan

Half forward I think. He was an exceptional mark for his size and a good kick.

I have had a belief for a few years now that if Jayden Hunt can actually get a good run with injuries, he would be somebody to look out for. With his outside speed coupled with the fact we actually have players capable of getting the ball out to to him, he might actually come in handy. That and also the romantic in me would love to see Trenners get back to AFL level.

Any news on Jake Lovett ? Is he training with us or do we think that he will not be drafted ?

Anyone have a video of that tackle on Weller ?

If McDonald can improve his decision makling/kicking he will without doubt become an AA backman. Only thing Frawley has over him is foot skills and even then it's not by that much. He reminds me of Alex Rance, both very good defenders, neither can kick

Growing pains are the worst I went from 156 cm - 185 cm in 5 months Absolute agony every morning from growing pains

He trained fully today ? I know he was inside Monday I was talking to Mahoney about it. Do you think they will risk him v Bulldogs?

Fitness can be fixed. If you have the heart to do it then he will be fine. He is a good build for an u18 player. Keep him on the down low and we could well get a nice little companion for Viney

F#CK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is true but with a bad back any movement that is a little wonky can harm the back muscles
