Hasn't he had back issues in the past.

He was training with Casey guys this morning but not sure how much that means.

Hunt was in a small Group training at Gosch's around 10.00am. As I was driving past at the time so I couldnt tell how long they had been out there but there didnt seem any holding back. He was with a group that included Keilty so I am presuming it was the Casey group of players. May be back sooner than we think and would be itching to prove himself to make the finals.

Just what I expected. Acceptance of the unacceptable. My point is they expect criticism when due but some of what is said here is just over the top.

I don't comment too much about the spurious statements made here but sometimes it just goes too far. I had a player parent comment about some of the things that were said about certain footballers on this site. They were not about his son but he confirmed that some parents and family read the site and were upset with the viciousness of some of the comments made. I'm not saying you don't have the right to voice your opinion as to whom should be picked or not get another contract but the way they are being embellished is distressing to some people. I would hope that prior to voicing those opinions you would be happy to hear such comments made about your son or daughter, nephew or niece.

As per usual the Club is having an open training session prior to the big game on Monday. This year the training session will be on the Friday 8th June and there will be a BBQ, mascots, coffee and the Demon Shop. Proceedings will start around 9.45am and finish around 11. I suggest everyone intending to come down keep an eye on the website just in case of any last minute changes to the schedule. This game is going to be huge especially if Collingwood win this week and we also carry on our winning record. So come down to Gosch and support the Demon Army (all proceeds to go to the Demon Army to assist with the purchase of more "heads") and of course the boys. They really do enjoy having all the fans (not just Saty) come and watch.

ET don't be like that. Wouldn't like someone else to get their nose out of joint.

And then the "oh sorry" - absolute gold - hope MH reminded him of the score in the last quarter

Not sure if this has been covered but did anyone else think that Neville Jetta looked a little proppy in the last quarter. I cant imagine life without Nev but he looked as though he was treading water trying to chase an opposition player. Like Hogan he has an ungainly gait but this was definitely something else. Maybe Saty might be able to help with this.

I think looking back Jake was being played to fulfill a different role whilst missing Tom and Jack. His goal kicking talent was not being emphasised as it has now that Tom is back however he played the role for the moment which is what Goody asked of him. It is a joy to sit back and watch him not only kick great goals but be the team player that he has become.

Unbelievable. I even feel sorry for Hawkins. That is a farce and Fitzpatrick is not even there anymore.

Could just be on light duties given the two injuries. Glass half full.

He generally does have an awkward running gait but did anyone see him yesterday at training. Whilst driving slowly by Gosch's yesterday morning I did see JV and from what I briefly saw he looked ready to go.

Quality not quantity applies here

Tried to get reserve seats in the mcc this afternoon for the Anzac Eve game after receiving an email this morning. All sold out. They are expecting more than last year which I was told was over 92000. (Not sure this is correct figure) As this is our home game it will be a bonanza for the Club.

Bayley back on ground after a very crude tackle Hogan just getting on with it Oliver's class (and we won)

You are

Selwood and Ablett continually called for a free when they were tackled. They think they are the untouchables.

Bayley Fritsch first goal Fighting to the last gasp (9 secs) the other half of the team will turn up next week

But not quite the right red

Pick them up on game day at the stand next to the Membership Hub.

Yes will be able to if you ring the Membership Team. The only problem will be getting the card before the first game.

Why don't you ring the membership line - 1300 366 667 - and ask them if they know of a supporter bus coming from down that way. There used to be a supporter bus I think from the Bendigo area and the Gippsland area. They might be able to put you in contact with one of the supporter groups.

James wasn't at the Sponsorship afternoon either so maybe a family issue.
