Greg Schneider

Are you joking? The club pushed for him to retire, he hasn’t fired a shot in the last two years

No one’s saying midfield depth was our issue last year. We’re saying it’s going to be an issue THIS year. How can you not see that? When we lost Oliver, we could’ve called on Jordan, Harmes, Dunstan if we wanted to. Who are we calling on this year if need be? Oliver will not be there at the start of the season, Brayshaw will not be there in the midfield at the start of the season. It’s a completely different ball game this year.

Match sims just happened and our socials team are compiling this [censored]. Says it all.

Yep bang on, these guys aren't even injured it's load management. Who cares if they miss out on one match sim in January, bit of an overreaction

Midfield depth is a real issue. We lost Harmes Dunstan and Jordon and didn’t replace them with anyone. Billings is the closest thing but he’s a half forward who can occasionally pinch in the midfield at best. At this stage our best midfielder isn’t even at the club and there’s no way Brayshaw will be thrown in there too early this season (at all?). We won’t have the luxury of Trac going forward at this stage. We don’t know if Rivers is a midfielder or not, sample size way too small. There really isn’t a lot to call on this year, coupled with no legitimate backup ruckman either. If one or two go down I think we are in trouble. Surprised this wasn’t addressed during the trade period.

I’m not saying he’ll miss games I’m saying we can’t throw him into the midfield round 1 surely? Too risky, I’d be surprised if he’s not at half back or on a wing to get back into it

Do you know if Shane is carrying an injury or just a niggle that's got him training away from main group?

Casey it is good call

The team was at Casey today and Clayton was at Gosh’s so probably just doing his own thing

Petty is not out of contract this year

Thanks for your work, gives us a lot better insight than anything the club has / will post

The club has been in Lorne for three days and all we've gotten is a single training gallery, pretty pathetic

They’re only there for two nights. Don’t think it’s supposed to be a gruelling off season camp more of a shake up and get out of Melbourne for a couple days. Pies went there last December and ended up having a pretty good year. Now they’re having their ‘camp’ in Morwell

Well they’ve changed the post and it now says Ardu so yeh it was a bad look

No worries, appreciate the report. Have you got any idea what Tholstrup’s niggle might be? Was he in any drills at all?

CHRISTIAN SALEM I’m sure it was him ( remember I’m on the other side of the fence) and he looked really good unhampered by recent injuries and looked fresh, pacey and involved with effortless and crisp disposal. Noticed Jack Viney was wearing #3 today in instagram posts so possibly was him?

Is the camp before or after Christmas?

Who looks the biggest improver out of the young guys ?

He’ll have to be down back, there’s just too many forwards, can’t have them all playing in the same forward line for Casey, there’s BBB fullarton Shace, Jefferson and Tmac, would be a waste for one of them not to become a key defensive backup. We have Roo and Petty as the AFL starting full forwards so all in all that’s way too many

Definitely expected Clayton to be there

Petty's definitely there it's been uploaded on the Melbourne instagram page maybe he's just not training

How's Clarry looking?

Same as Riley Hardeman from WA
