By sheer coincidence I happened to be in the adjoining tree to don’t make me angry and had a perfect vantage point.
My highlights:-
• Saty came past on his scooter, scribbled down some notes, took some pics with his Brownie and shot through the entrance to the ground heading towards the South East Freeway. Can’t wait for his comprehensive report and photographs tomorrow.
• Harley Bennell walked 12 laps of the oval without breaking into a sweat and then had about a dozen shots at goal before disappearing into the change rooms.
• Trac is looking ripped and in smashing form.
• Stafford got don’t make me angry but he missed me.
• the rain came down in buckets but training continued until the ground was totally flooded and four trainers rescued ANB and J Wagner in rubber dinghys.

WEST Coast spearhead Jack Darling has suffered a pre-season setback after fracturing his cheekbone at training. He will miss the first Marsh Series match and is unlikely to play in the second game. May be available for Round 1 against the Demons.
Jeremy McGovern & Tom Barrass are likely to miss the start of the season.
WOW - it's a good thing we don't have any injuries atm. We must be a chance.

Any chance that Harley Bennell can get in the comp via the repechage system?

Pretty good thus far - it’s a relatively new intervention. This journal article suggests positive outcomes for elite athletes (skip to the ‘Results’ and ‘Discussion’).
Thanks for that. One of my favourite pastimes is reading about midportion Achilles tendinopathy and this has just made my day.

Sarcasm aside I would assume the red hat is reserved for players as a precautionary measure. If the "injury" was more serious then he (clarry) would not be training. Hammy soreness would obviously not require a hat. If May was seriously hamstrung he also wouldn't be training.
Anyone have a close look at those red hats?
Is it possible they have the words “Make America Great Again” on them?

From Jon Ralph'
" Melbourne will host ex-Fremantle half-forward Harley Bennell from December 3 as he trials for a rookie spot but have ruled out securing ex-Pies defender Sam Murray. "
Sounds like we’ve adopted the one d***head at a time rule.

I’m betting that Million Dollar Jack Martin was also a no show today.

Without wanting to reignite a debate about the impact of surgery and rehab (though I think 99.9% of posters would agree it had a significant impact last season) does anyone know how many players had post (or end of) season surgery? Or the number of players we could conceivablyhave in rehab to start the pre season?
Harley Bennell would be one.

Dover's got a history of this.
In the lead up to the 2012 mini draft this is from an article in relation to Martin nominating for the mini draft. I'd like to know Jason's thoughts on the 'wrong club' and the 'right environment':
It is a system that Martin's manager, Jason Dover, said could work for the teenager if he is recruited into the right environment.
However, it is possible he would remain in WA for the first 12 months of any deal if that didn't happen.
"We need to make a decision by Wednesday as to whether Jack nominates or not and part of that decision is weighting up which clubs are likely to figure for this," Dover told AFL.com.au.
"If it looks like the deal is done with the wrong club and we don't believe it would be best for Jack's development, then there is every chance that he'll stay in WA for that 12 months.
"Having a year in the system and developing a lot of the positive habits would be perfect for him in the right environment and with the right plan around him.
"I can see it working really well for a player like Jack, it's just trying to get him into the right environment."Is it true that his first name's "Ben"?

Contrast JM to Billy Stretch using Footywire. Why on earth would we pay this guy $600k+ per season?

There’s a lot of talk round here that Melbourne should split its pick 3 with the GWS Giants and take pick 6 and something else but I’m suspicious of this because in car dealing language, the pick is a lemon ?!
Check out the chart from the AFL Draft Guru site
Historically, players who have been selected at 3 have played an average of 132 games compared with 57 for pick 6. At pick 7, the average is almost more than double at 133 games.
Pick 6 is jinxed - we tell GWS no to that pick.
Now that changes everything.
Thanks for this invaluable information.

Martin is on holiday in Europe for the next month, can imagine it’s going to be hard for us to properly get into his ear about joining up
All expenses paid by the CFC?

Good idea to reunite all the Jones brothers - Nathan, Zac and Jarmaine.
Go for it!
