With all due respect... Preussy is a poor mans Majak Daw IMO

Not necessarily, Aerobic fitness refers to Cardiovascular fitness. For example, Ed Langdon has it in spades, runs all day! Muscular definition is just that Muscular definition. Majak definitely has that but as to his Aerobic capacity?? Depends how fit he is!

He is 1/3 Uncle Bitter, 1/3 your good self Dazzle and 1/3 my good self when fit about a zillion years ago!!!??? Agree, he is a specimen and a half and could become the new "Cult" hero!! among the Demon faithful.

Ok Ill be brave....Welcome to MFC Majak, Hopefully u provide us with viable multi footy options and a few lfe perspectives as well. Good luck PF

Majak Daw has done more in his career than Oscar. A big Yes from me! Just a feeling

Norf dumped 11 read again 11 not even we would do that

I like it! Great Backup for Max offers defence and forward options and at little cost.3 spots available DAW , WIZ JUNIOR and DEAKYN SMITH to take these opportunities.?

Yes probably a little misleading. To my mind we have 2 and a half A Graders Max Clarry and Trac ,May almost so what I am suggesting is the more we have the second tier expands! Look at Richmond 5 or 6 A graders and they set the benchmark

Dazzle gee I can see a truckload of potential there, I wouldn't say he looks overawed but still finding his feet in the pressure cooker. He is very very quick and skills are neat.Took a clever mark and just missed kicking a goal into the breeze. Has a box of tricks ,but needs to grow in confidence, will need a few seasons but a definite keeper?

Yes

Adressed in redited version Kicked a couple of opportunistic goals but didnt have any set shots.As iterated Dangerous!!!

Ventured to Casey this morning to find the arena "bathed" in light. Thinking I might have stumbled on part two of "Close Encounters of the Third Kind”, I was somewhat intrigued to see that the lights at Casey had in fact been turned on!! Warmups consisted more or less of similar to last Friday, before segueing into a full scale practice match between the navy blues and the royal blues. Unless you knew the numbers, the colors were somewhat indistinguishable! Here is my report. NO SHOWS, VINEY, KOSSIE, BEN BROWN, HIBBO, JOEL SMITH??? There might have been others but being outside the ground again made it difficult to distinguish LIMITED DUTIES MITCH BROWN, SPARGO, GUS , MELKSHAM MATCH REPORT The match ups were interesting with the navy blues containing what I believe to be the probables against the possibles, although having said that players who made up most of last year’s list were sprinkled between the two sides. RANDOM HIGHLIGHTS AND A FEW LOW ONES AS WELL Game split into 4 about 15-20 min quarters, stiff wind blowing northerly away from the city, umpires were AFL list, I hink. Trent Rivers played well across HBF and has become more at home and composed with the footy. Ed Langdon was all over it on the wing and won possession after possession. Harry Petty was played down back and whilst he did a few nice things, was not noticeable. James Jordan has skills and played well in a variety of roles. Vanders was back and was involved in a few bone jarring tackles and was his usual imposing self. At one stage Max took umbrage to his fierce tackling and let him know about it. Clayton "Minestrone" Oliver was in everything and was the catalyst to so many clearances. His disposal was crisp and clean. It was between Max, Langdon and for BOG. The name "Minestrone" for me conjures up the fact that in one you get everything ... That was choo choo today! L.J WOW ... has he come of age? Took marks, kicked three goals, rucked, roved and was a catalyst - is ready to impose this year! Harmes played ON BALL resting on a half forward flank and was back to his best. Expect to see him more in midfield this year. Bailey Laurie and Jake Bowey - take a bow recruiting team led by team Jason Taylor. Both are quick, decisive with hand and foot and both are excitment machines destined to play early this year, probably Bailey Laurie more so at this stage. Fraser "The Freak" Rosman, WOW, Today took the MOTD and also kicked TGOTD. Was instrumental in some set ups and will play early. Faded towards the end but ... is exciting. Trac just cannot be tackled he is soooo elusive just reminds me of myself in my heyday LOL ... Played like he did last year. Tom McDonald was quiet early (matched up against Steve May) but kicked 2 or 3 good goals. Similar to last week where I singled out Chunky Jones, today it was NEV JETTA'S turn to wind back the clock with a really good display down back. Fritta was fritta laconic BUT dangerous. Max did as he liked and whilst this is good please God if he or Clarry gets injured >>>>> ? Others to impress were Aaron Nietschke, will be a formidable ruckman, Jay Lockhart, Toby Bedford, Kade Chandler and Aaron Bradke, Hunt was busy of the hbf and Chunky decisive POSITIVES As above, plus plenty of endeavour skills seemed better under pressure and players looking for smart options, we should have plenty of scope for multi options and a very strong second tier who are sure to put pressure on for game day spots in the ones. NEGATIVES We still have issues with kick out strategies. other teams seem to be able to do this at will but we struggle and a few times played on only to bomb hopefully. we stiil will over rely on our core group , but i can see visible narrowing of superstars and next tier. Hitting targets under pressure needs to be the focus No slitherers seen today thankfully Cheers PF

Thanks Earl, pretty similar in some ways to my previous report regarding missed targets and lack of goals. I do find this very concerning. Agree the Old Jetty Cafe is a winner, but the Bakery is tops. They sell magnificent meat and Veg family pasties for 17 bucks which do 2 meals easy. Thanks for report! I might send you a message so that next time we might hook up and do a dual report. Cheers PF p.s Mitch Browns mark was excellent and he should play early rounds, I really like him, he moves well and puts himself into dangerous positions!

And I'll reference my comments with the Caveat, that, given the History of head knocks there is NO WAY we should contemplate this for medical reasons only. I shudder to think what another one would do. No!

I would rather Petty down back and Joel Smith forward!!

I ventured out to Casey this afternoon and not even a dormouse was seen!

NOOOOOO WAY

I could argue backmen can save grand finals remembering Ball' s savimg mark for swans ,but foreards win them for you!!

Sheeit thats all we need! Why dont Richmond and Geelong cop this kind of bad luck???? Paaaaaark Me!!?

Hnmm Not ideal and can I add a triple and quadrupple PAAAAAAAAAAARK to the narative!?? Righto agree with dazzle re could , should have invited both of the Robust forwards mentioned ... But we didnt. Mitch Brown ( who scored 2 Brownlow Votes in an eye catching display last year), LJ and Tommy Mac to eck out enough goals until at least Benny Brown comes back, Unless Goody thinks outside the square and plays Petty Back and May forward in what would be a "Bold" Move!???

Yes given oficial photo could they have waited?

If this is right can u find out starting time and I may get down and file a report

No Ben Brown??

Sorry, but what I saw of Bailey Laurie on Friday is better than what I've seen of Charlie Spargo IMO
