It's not paranoia. They're all just out to get us!

Went down to the Trevor Barker Beach Road Oval at Sandringham today on the off chance that I might catch the Melbourne Football Club by surprise on account of the fact that the club has declared all training sessions other than the ones held on Wednesdays as closed sessions and off limits to the public. Well, guess what? There was not a single soul around although I was able to take some snaps and bring you these exclusive photos of the vacant ground with the old concrete perimeter fence on Beach Road now missing. As you can see, the demise of the old fence has made it difficult for the club to hide their players and keep tactics and strategies secret as the ground is open for all and sundry to look inside. That probably explains why nobody was there when I arrived. I can say that among the notable absentees from today's training (wherever and whenever it took place) were Travis Johnstone, Nathan Brown, Daniel Ward, Byron Pickett, Clint Bizzell, Ryan Ferguson and Heath Neville. As I was driving off however, I caught a glimpse of someone wearing a red top and a freakish looking blond haircut hovering around the tea trees and dense brush between the ground and the beach. I can't say for sure but he looked a bit like Nathan Carroll. Now I wonder ... MELBOURNEfc's next open training session will be held at Trinity Oval on Wednesday 30 January at 10:00am but please note: Training times and venues are subject to change without notice.

Good move and shows the leadership group is serious and means business. Personally, I'd give him another two weeks for the haircut as well.

The second question has a double negative - it should be rephrased to avoid confusion.

Right, well good luck to him in the future and I hope he can overcome the issues that led to those embarrassing moments in Greece and Germany where he walked the walk but not apparently in a straight line!

You decide?

Give the guy a break. Coaches are allowed to waffle on.

I always regarded them as a bunch of handbags now a Thai tattooist has got them pegged right - Tatt turns Cats fan's arm into gay icon!

With a name like that the kid will probably make a good golfing partner for Jeff White.

Is it politcally correct to say we should Welsh on the deal?

Just a blue screen? T.G.R must be in the middle of one of putting up one of his posts!

Is Sam Hunt worth a punt? No, no, I'll be very blunt, Won't take him, he's a runt!

And that's a pretty poor effort from the coach knowing the cameras were whirring away. Very ordinary to do that sort of thing in the circumstances.

Imagine a centreline of Johnson Masten Bate ... er oops

In other words. Thanks for your enquiry. Now [censored] off!

Round 7 Hawthorn v West Coast at Mawson Base Antarctica First AFL game to be played on ice! Ben Cousins' come back game.

At least he finished his career on a high!!!

I've always wondered about that. I would imagine that it's relatively simple with the top two or three but what happens when you get to pick four and there might be four or five players perceived to be of about equal value or ability. Surely then you're entitled to say "well, we need a full back or a running defender or a ruckman" and then chose from that group accourding to your needs?

It will really hit the fan if this bloke is implicated in the Cousins arrest situation. WCE will be in very deep.

That was the problem. He finished the time trial 24 hours after everyone else. By the time he finished he'd been delisted.

This reminds me of those old slimming ads. Want to lose 280 pounds of ugly fat? Delist Lance Whitnall! And to think we were seriously contenders to pick him up in the trades of two years ago!

Apparently they found a Chinese player who looks and plays like Ricky Petterd called Wun Bung Lung

Most penises I know are totally 'armless anyway!

Based on what it seems that other clubs were apparently prepared to give for Judd, Carlton's offer is not enough and WCE's ask is too much. They'll find a middle ground because Judd's currency with other clubs has dropped since he announced Carlton as his preference.

No. Not the right chemistry for our club thank you.
