A. It was played while the Southern Stand was being demolished.

 

 

Always been a bit of a downer that the Jakovich show was in front of a huge construction area.  That mid air soccer goal deserved to be in front of a packed stand.

P2J sorry but you obviously missed the last 5/6 games in 2020.

Go back and watch the Giants  game and look at it fairly and watch Salem's impact On the play, speed, and ground cover ( into Forward line). He was very unlucky to not get one of  the Votes that night.

Yes he has cruised a bit too much in the past  but with his extra fitness gained from his USA trip with Trac his last games in 2020 were by far his best as a block. The penny seems to have dropped and I believe He is on the way to being an A grader impacting in a major way and that's why I would play him on a wing occasionally  HFF and a stint in the ball. 
 

I guess I just recognize his talent and think he hasn't gotten there yet.  I know he can do so much more.

Hope you are right and he explodes in 2021 ike Trac did this year.

Salem has only 5 Brownlow votes in his career, the same  amount Trac had before this season so maybe thats an omen.

Yeah I'll go Friday. I'll leave early 6 in the morning. If there are people who want to shut me out hopefully they will take pity on me for the 2 hours I drove to see my team train. Never been to Casey before so looking forward to the trip. If people have got questions that they want answered send them in and I will try and answer them all. I'll be trying to find out if Petty is playing forward or back other than that I'll be watching them go around the track.

Legend.

I want to see a best 22 of who impressed most at the session.

A bit of levity

As a Melbourne supporter, fan, barracker I'm not horrified but sickened by some responses I read on this site.  

Did you post that in the right thread?  Haven seen anything bad in this one

I think Rivers will be better than Salem. 

Will be much better than Salem who still coasts around not impacting games.

'Constant observation from both parties'.     LOL.   They were literally stopping Republican watchers from entering the rooms in PA and Michigan.

 Such a weak, low energy meme.

That's not in any way relevant to what I posted.

• The result of the 2016 election was not challenged by Clinton. The FBI instead investigated the Trump campaign's conduct during the campaign, especially in regards to Russian collusion.
• The result of the 2020 election is being challenged by Trump.
• Trump is struggling to overturn the result because he needs to fight each state individually because each state has its own election (which is run differently from other states). This makes it extremely difficult to rig and also means that the Supreme Court has no say because they are state issues, which Trump has struggled to comprehend. He tried to have it heard at the Supreme Court, however they took all of 34 minutes for them to deny a hearing (because it had nothing to do with them).

Nobody doubts the results of the 2016 elections. In the same way, there is no credible doubt over the results of the 2020 elections. 

I doubt the 2016 election.  No way Hillary won the popular vote.

There was fraud back then too, they just didn't realize how popular Trump would be and he blew their cheating right out of the water.

I want to see them. Where can we see them? 

You dont need to see them, the election fraud was perpetrated in front of the world on election night.

They just stopped counting in 6 swing states where Trump was up by hundreds of thousands of votes then start hauling ion stacks of votes for Biden.  Most blatant fraud in election history.  it made Venezuela blush.

Time Magazine which racistly named Obama person of the year has just named joint persons of the year Biden and Harris.

Nevermind Trump has started getting peace in the middle east and never instigated a war 

What is the bet no Republican president ever wins it? You only have to be elected as a Democrat though. 

I'm surprised Hillary never won for trying to break the glass ceiling.

 

Time magazine hasnt been relevant for 20 years.  Just another leftist propaganda rag.

They gave it to Greta Thunberg last year LOL

Gawny now lives in Blarigowrie, meaning he is closer to Casey, than what he is Melbourne. 

 

Is that true?  Thats a fair hike to the MCG/Etihad

I am sure the move to Casey is the right move because training will be better than Goschs. However it sure is not good for getting training reports.

Very quiet in here.  What happened to that Saty fella?

Your parallel universe is indeed a very strange place.

Guess we will find out soon who is living in the parallel universe.

Texas coming to save the Republic.  Wouldn't have it any other way.  At least 20 states have already joined their case as the tide has well and truly turned.

Pennsylvania's response to the Texas (+ 20 states) lawsuit looked like it was written by a 12 year old.

Told you all a month ago that Trump won and will do a 2nd term and nothing has changed.

After seeing him last night I am far from certain he will be the coach for the start of the 2021 season.

Of course he will

Welcome to Australian rules football did you just come out of a time wrap, has been 20 minutee for 3 decades

Just assumed it was 25 as you never see a quarter thats less than that, but most go around 30 mins and some way longer.

Now I think of it the countdown clock on TV coverage at the start of quarters begins at 20 minutes so yeah I'm an [censored]

T Mac definitely lost weight.  Looks quite thin, which is good as he may get back some mobility.

Q & A

• TMac lost about 5kgs and will play initially as a forward but don't rule out positional change

 

We have enough tall forwards, he should be training with the backs where we have no depth.  Its May then nothing.

Great,  back to normal and hopefully not to see shorten quarters again. 16  extra  minutes of entertainment is bang for your buck! 

 

And with normal length quarters back, Petracca can now spend the last 5 minutes of quarters resting inside forward 50.....  rest of the competition will be helpless as he averages 28 possessions and kicks 40 goals next season.

Jason Taylor does it again.  The man is a genius

Fraser ROSMAN

Clubs: Sandringham Dragons/Vic Metro

Position: Utility

Size: 194cm/84kg

Teams that may suit: Adelaide, Essendon, Melbourne

Bio: Rosman had a number of standout performances in the APS school boys competition for Wesley College last year, sneaky in for two games at the NAB League level with the Dragons. With untapped potential, Rosman could develop into a strong utility in the attacking half of the ground. He makes things happen and can catch the eye with his X-Factor and speed. He isn’t just a one trick pony given his endurance as well, marking overhead well when required. He can play deep as a tall or push up the ground to show off his athletic traits. Recruiters won’t forget some of his work in the pre-season and it was indicated when he earned a national combine invite.

Dont be deceived by the kicking action. He actually drops the ball lower and closer to his foot thereby alleviating and minimising margin for error. He wont fudge many at all! I like what he brings, Pace, Agility, Poise, takes a great contested grab and kicks very well! Stay Tuned, some serious X Factor from what I've seen.

I just said it was an interesting kicking action, not that he cant kick.

I love this pick for us.  His upside is huge and looks a real excitement machine.  Chocco Williams will be on the case!
