Righto boss, I'll send a memo to Melbourne Storm and the Craig Bellamy, letting them know of your 1st hand impressions, & that they could well save their money for a cinema outing instead, for player welfare. I'm sure they'll be grateful for the heads up. These camps are not cheap you know. By the way. How is your favorite small from the 2012 National Draft going?

22* and some precipitation. good. humidity & sweating players will make it slippery. Let the wet be our friend. Lets go small & speedy, with plenty aggro.

What is deadly to our brand is NOT being prime time Free to Air. If we are to pickup undecided watchers of our game as supporters, we have to get the Prime-Time spots on the Free Telly. # Forget that bloody Fox, and pay TV, that doesn't help us grow the club, actually the more of us that switch to Fox, the LESS Likely it will be that we get and keep Prime time. And we won't really grow our supporter base as most who Pay for TV, are already welded on Members.

I have to record both, simultaneously. So I can re-watch both later.

yes, love it. most motorsport.

And the other a tanker & salary cap rorter.

I agreed, but really its been a team effort, on/offfield. Without one part, the others suffer. together, they are like brothers in arms.

like ya thunking et.

Thats good__ in a funny sorta way. catch my drift. I'm looking forward to Gus getting his mojo back.

here is a good example to show the inequity. http://www.afl.com.au/tv-radio/broadcastguide https://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/tg-carlton-blues?year=2018 Is it true that most Melbournefc supporters have FOXtel, when most other clubs supporters go to Free to Air. If so, is it any wonder we don't get a go on Free2Air.

And nothing to do with Fitzy, and the AFL owing the blues? Simple, self imposed ban on those clubs, the past powers of the last 25years. Who bought premierships from other clubs, Via taking their players.

there ya go. Its' not what you know, it's who you do !

We don't have to boost their numbers, when we, and much of the comp have been dudded over the decades. boost the underdog, not the greedy.

Where is the, 'rectus femoris' ? Sounds like a lingering injury?

Channel 7 is taking us Dees supporters for granted. Its time to instill a ban on watching 7 footy. When Melbourne isn't given a fair go at free to air. I call on all red blooded Dees, to NOT watch the bummers on key night time slots. Why should WE ADD to the bummer viewing profile, whilst we get Sunday evening games? Think and act. Don't watch bummers, & pies in prime time. We just boost them up.

Bloody Watson.

Also troublesome in packs, around wandering boots. But is it the toe, or an ankle? These days with so much mis-information, its really hard to know what the truth is. But the reality is, its really tough to ruck with buggered feet. And to play CHF. Imperative we don't take risks before the season even starts. You can play with a cracked rib. You can play with a crack in the jaw. But try to run and jump in a game, with only one good foot, let alone having to kick on the run.

yep, they sure were Flying HIGH around 2005. 'acker' couldn't understand it? The Eagles running power. How strong it had become, almost overnight.

Yup We don't NEED TMc right now, with our backups. But We do NEED TMc late in the season, fully fit; heading towards September, Springtime footy. Its a must, we need his marking power & his running power, to cover the miles. I don't care if he misses the next 6 weeks, as long as we get him right and in Full running fitness, come the half way mark. He is now one of our major keys to any success we might experience, come finals.

sorry, no i didn't get it.

Only a toe, kept Frost out for around 6 months. It troubled him for more than 12 months. Conservative with injuries especially early season is crucial. We can take risks if need be later in the season IF we are desperate. I would rather have Tmc cheery ripe, before he comes into the side. I don't want him tormented by this injury, all through the season. Viney came back too soon last year, didn't end well. Gawn came back too soon last year, didn't end well. Watts came back under rehabbed last year, stuffed our season. Didn't end well. Its no surprise that our momentum went into a downward spiral, when these players started to return to the team, all too soon. 2017 didn't end well for the Mfc.

Do you think they always strap the injured area? Why strap deep bruising, unless your putting padding over the bruised area?

The very same reason, we should not play players in Rnd 1, who have injuries, or are NQR. TMc on both fronts, with the toe and the late start to preseason, after both ankles operated on. So fitness can be better, and soreness needs to improve. Same Viney. You can't win a final in March; but we can surely wreck our whole season by going in NQR.

Not really. They (tigers) are more mentally tough on the the physical stuff, dishing it out, & receiving it as well (physically & mentally). We probably are stronger on the 'focus side' traditionally, compared to the Tiges. Both clubs were weak mentally, but for differing reasons. Richmond the club has never been hesitant to break our the physicality, traditionally, and their club, players & supporters, all relish that. This area is our biggest hurdle to get over. Bringing the physicality, the physical intensity is our biggest hurdle, and we are easily satisfied with our efforts. Too easily satisfied. Insatiable is NOT a word I would use about the Mfc. The camps allow the club to develop leaders in all areas & to lead in tall the ways our clubs has been lacking in. This is what the camps are all about leadership/responsibility, under the worst pressure.

I would definately leave TMc out for this one. One more week to get right. Please Mfc. Don't risk him in Rnd-1. We have plenty who can fulfill the role for one game.
