I do enjoy the table turning. Just to clarify- it’s not Ricky Jackson is it?

Aaannnndddd here we go! Done a few of these - good luck with it guys.

Why people want to pick up on the minutiae of details to get one up on track watchers is beyond me. I’m in QLD and really appreciate any information about the MFC and training I can get so thanks for the reports. For the nupties who seek relevance through nit picking and criticising reports - stop spoiling the fun and grow up.

Really a bit over the media - create the fire - stoke the fire Really a bit over contracts not being contracts. Really a bit over players not coming out and killing rumours if there’s nothing in it. Really over homesickness being so geographically limited that it is a suburb not a state. Come on season start - let’s watch footy.

I love that you put Heal Thy - I say that every time I drop my daughter for her Grill’d shift. Kerning matters. Welcome aboard Grill’d.

Good stuff thanks. how cool to be called “X” whilst Jed does show a certain lack of imagination!

What about the young up and coming Australian Larry O’Dea

My fathers business in Queensbridge street South Melbourne serviced the Mobil cars so I guess Hassa was a rep. I, as a young whipper snapper spent holidays doing the menial tasks. Funny these days to think of players having actual other jobs whilst still being idolised by a young supporter.

Hassa, when he worked for I think Mobil was often at my father’s business and got me all the team autographs which is a treasured keepsake. I was also taught by Mrs. Mann in primary school. A true demon hero.

I for one am much pleased to see Clarrie looking connected with his friends at both recent weddings. Good on you Gus, sure the future is bright, Danielle and family good people.

Yeh, yeh, but, but … what have you done recently! Seriously that is an amazing amount of public service Redleg, commendations to you. Incidentally it matches up quite nicely against my own. I went to a match once.

Just dropped a few dollars on us for Premiers. Optimism springs anew.

First rate this and combined with the Norm McDonald bored / board reference has my day off to a positive start.

Probably comes in with relationships and respect already established with many of the players. May be just as much about building cohesiveness and positivity as some radical new going to fix all the world’s problems midfield system.

What a nice, typical Clarrie articulated positive story. Pity about the people on here who just want to argue and litigate their petty point making over and over ad nauseam.

Clarrie, Trac, Kossie are MFC players. Media sucks.

I don’t see Pert offering more goal assists than Clarrie next year, more like own goals.

So over all this garbage. Koz, Clarrie and Trac are in the privileged position of being able to play the game they love for a lot of money. They all signed contracts. They can just harden the f up, honour their contracts and play their guts out for the team and their team mates. They don’t own the game, they are just a part of it.

I’ve heard the entire playing list at Melbourne are showing interest in a variety of offers from rival clubs. The club has said it would be an innovative way to rebuild.

If Trac wants some inspiration on coming back from serious injury he could do worse than wandering over to AAMI and have a chat to Ryan Papenhuyzen. Leg fractures, hammy and fractured kneecap which was a year out. Starred for Storm in their prelim.

Must go to pies. Would love to be an observer (from a distance) when he, DeGoey and Maynard hit Bali.

Looking forward to finding out if I can get 4 tyres for the price of 3.

Worry not, make stuff up

I reckon some budding Psychology or Social phd should do a thesis on the negative impact on players mental well being caused by a rapacious AFL media ecosystem.

Sad to be losing two very fine human beings in BBB and ANB. Both exemplify that footy clubs are about more than footy.
