The ABC is a pitiful 'news' service.  Your tax dollars at work, folks.

Hope the lads enjoy the event.

STOP IT PLEASE 

"OH YOU MAKE MY MOTOR RUN, MY MOTOR RUN MYYYYY SHARONAAAAA! 

Just cannot get this song outa my head! Why??? Well it was one of the Classic songs playing whilst the players were training today. Booming over the P.A

Others were "Working Class Man, "Stop Draggin my heart around", Run to paradise", "Country Road" and timeless classic, Sweet Caroline!

 

 

Uncle Chocco was definitely in charge of the music.

 Thanks for the report PF.

Oscar INSPIRED a couple of goals and at least two goal assists makes u wonder about MFC and dubious development of many players over the last 20 or so years!

And the worst post of the week award goes to ...... Picket fence!

Can someone post the top 50 so I can laugh at Slobbo

I dont read the Hun and Im not subscribing to their website to help fund his liquid lunches

2 years too long. Which club was racing to sign a 30 year old ruck to a 4 year deal? 
 

Unless we got a significant discount it’s a bad deal.

Yeah I am sure he would have had no interest on the open market..  NOT.

Sandilands, Dean Cox, Stef Martin...  just a few examples of ruckmen who were still playing great footy well into their 30's. And Max is as fit as they come so dont you worry about him.

Is this a sign?

Thats more than a sign.  Oliver isnt going anywhere.

And he will dominate until 2025.

Yes. Anything on Fox footy (ie; all games) is on Kayo. Questions around GF though, as mentioned above 

Awesome, just signed up. 

25 a month seems like a bargain with all the content on there, and you can watch it on TV ...   I only watch AFL so I can just deactivate my account in the off-season.

Does Kayo show every AFL game live?  And by every AFL game I mean Demon games

First two would be awesome.

Third makes me physically ill.

A bit could change after this Mondays practice game.  Petty may get a run and if he impresses again should knock Tomlinson out of the team.

I know right.. he's embarrassing with some of his comments. Needs to kick 25 goals this year to justify his place in the team but the bloke who's a plodder that finishes 13th in the best and fairest in his 4th year of AFL football gets a pass mark.

Typical @Dr.D style though. Even if Picketts kicks 50 goals this year he won't admit it. It'll hurt him too much to admit how wrong he already is.

Pickett will be a star.  I expect him to kick 25-30 goals this season because he is good enough to, thats for sure.

He was doing some pretty awesome thinsg last year without the ball in his hand so goals wont be the deciding factor to him having a nice season

7 minutes ago, Dr.D said:

I literally said that from the very start..

So if Pickett doesn't kick a goal a game this year I think it's fair to say its another underwhelming season. 

Yes.  25-30 goals from Kozzie in year 2 is a fair expectation.

Yes, that's what the quote says...

He was just saying Daw was more likely to be ready for Round 1 than McCartin.    Hardly a ringing endorsement on Daws chances.

Beat me to it 'bin'...

My bold prediction is the Cats won't make the 8.

That would be nice but their home ground advantage + Jeremy Cameron will see them comfortably make it.

Every one of those guys are legends of the Melbourne Football Club.  That was a long time before I was born but they are Demon premiership heroes and should never be forgotten.

IC: BRAYSHAW, JONES, SPARROW, JORDON, RIVERS, BOWEY, HARMES, JETTA

Viney and Brayshaw ruled out.  Have another go big boy

Nobody rates us and why should they?

Its about time this club got a chip on its shoulder and went out and proved the world wrong. More likely that hell freezes over but you just never know.

Goody speaks about Gus and Viney availability and also Kozzy as well. Brayshaw to start playing VFL and Viney touch and go for round 1. Looks like Kozzy will come straight back into the side in round 1. Shows how highly rated he is by the coaches.

Fingers crossed that Kade Chandler has another strong game this Monday.  The trio of Kozzie/Spargo/Chandler is something that can cause Freo serious problems, and I cant recall a time when we have gone with 3 small forwards.  Exciting!
