Fine let him come from a long way back, don't rush and have a rubbish season. Take an extra however many weeks need to get to as close to full fitness before playing, if that is week 5 then so be it. I don't get the need to rush for round 1, it's a bloody long season at AFL level.

A flag winning fwd, awesome!!

How'd our man find it and how is he still finding being a "professional" footy player (not being paid as such) D?

Jesus I thought we were out of financial trouble?! Its over if they ever have one in Romsey!

Excitement fading...

Maxi! F me. Stay injury free and this could be one of the best seasons by a ruckman you will see.

You'll get to know that is his way of doing things drunkn, just nod and smile and walk away.

Do we need Lewis now? Like, no love both rule changes. Have not liked the 3rd up since it came into fashion and the fing ducking rule has needed change for years. Interesting to see how that last change plays out.

Good luck fella.

Is that Fitzy on the bag?

Choke life is an amazing thing, sometimes people (children) judged at young ages don't meet the "norm". Sometimes people are "better" in different ways. Sometimes kids just fing hate school and make an amazing story out of their own life outside of data/scores/spreadsheets and databases.

Just as a comparison Norf who I think had a record year last year, they're sitting on 26,895 Saints 28,170

Alongside training reports by the sounds of things it's the most positive AGM in recent memory.

Rubbing his hands for rope burn?

For all the chit you cop, thanks for some of the inside info even if others thinks it's sugar coated "throw away" lines to supporters from the players and staff. Hopefully AnB knee is just that, would love to see him pushing the Bugg, Kennedy et al of the group for a spot.

RtG I must admit I didn't have to much fear most of the time but that was totally misplaced bravado along with having some absolute fearless mongrels on our side to boot. They were fing savages at times. 2 of the biggest brawls I've seen/been a part of were playing Duffton. Cops and dogs needed on one occasion when fans and players from both sides got involved. Was a not very pleasant experience but generally got the heart racing each time you rolled up against them.

Was always funny when we played away at Dovers, a few of the guys came down with the dreaded Doveton "flu". Terrible affliction, usually took hold between training on Thursday night and Friday afternoon/evening, but apparently you came good Saturday late afternoon and were right to hit up the Beauy Sat night.

Isnt Alwyn involved as well? Glad I'm too old to play as the 'might' Black Rock footy club is playing Doveton again this year. If they are pulling the boots on they will slaughter teams in the 3rd Div. We played against Anthony McDonald across a couple of seasons he played in that league and he was well and truly 5 classes above.

Still the best poster we've had in here since YZE Magic. Welcome to the fold D. Hope you enjoy the ride, it can get bumpy.

How good is it to have Crossy teaching guys like Oli what it really takes. Hope Oli hates him but learns to love what he is going through now.

All good wouldn't want to put you in an awkward position but as binny said above it ha been great to hear how the young fella has been coming along.

What vital internal info could possibly be given away by giving an insight into how he has found the jump between grades? Let's not take the game to seriously folks.

You're a gem D we really appreciate the little bit of info on how the young fella is finding things. Also I have no idea how letting on how he is finding the step up from VFL to AFL training is against any MFC policy's... F the fun police.

Nice!

Interesting thought ... you would think so ... but it is the AFL. They probably still use carbon copies for everything.
