Scully did the injury back on the September 07, 2009 and I would have thought he has had enough recovery time and surely being our No1 recruit the medical staff would have ensured this.However, a speedy recovery personally .

I agree- whilst we say all players are under the microscope, I believe Ricky will certainly be so this year- it is nearly make or break year for him. After nearly dying, two and a half years ago now and three pre seasons since that Round 14 disaster in 2007. I say, all the best Ricky.

Article is highlighting what we have already been told, time again and again. No mention of Tapscott whom I believe would be near favourite to be the first to strip with the Dees. http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tab...80/default.aspx

The blonde young man may have been Luke Parker from the Dandenong Stingrays whose photo is attached. http://www.smpimages.com/viewphoto.php?&am...&imagepos=5

By your report we only have one fit ruckman--- Martin---is that correct??

MEGA = WATTS OR MEGA + WATTS HOPE HE STARTS TO LIGHT UP !!! THANKS

Thanks for your imput , very much appreciated. Noted your remarks with Jimmy. But who is Mega ????

Tried to get to training today- what a mix up- website said 8am- rang the MFC and told 10am. Anyhow, missed it totally. Can anyone that went please give us a report as was told and I was interested to see Scully in full training along with Watts whom also was expected to do all the drills. We wait in earnest.

Great idea.

Agree totally- and if it was Judd- stripped of captaincy. Also-W.J. coorect me if I am wrong, didn't Davey get fined $5000.00 for being late home after having a few drinks in Darwin after a funeral and missing the plane- but the dobber was Aaron himself, basically because he felt guilty. These bloody other footballers re Fevola, Houlihan,Walker ,Betts have got off with the same fine as Davey.Even poor Maric got fined $5000.00 for gambling $10.00 didn't he. Will hang out to see what Carlton fine the culprit whom handcuffed the rookie however in today's press one of Carlton's players- Russell says he has and the team moved on. Good luck to them but I will hound the AFL if they do nothing in relationship with Carlton over this matter and bygonit wait to see what Essendon does with Hurley and ditto the AFL.

Agree and the public should be told what the club Essendon F.C. has done about it- not swept under the carpet similar to Carlton has done with the player(thought to be a senior) hancuffed to a rookie, in a sculling competition.

I agree with you all, both of these players are and will be very important over the years of growth. Jones, hopefully will have pressure taken off him, with the likes of Trengove & Scully,Grysberts & Tapscott whilst we should not forget Maric ,Wonaeamirri and McKenzie's development along with Bartram & Bell as standby's. Hope I have not forgotten any.

I agree totally and to think Jones has played 70 games already and Morton 40 games makes them like veterans or at least senior players at the club already with 30 odd players that have played less games than Morton..

It is Jones's 22 nd birthday today- Happy birthday-Another tattoe for the occassion? Cale Morton turned 20 yesterday- Both very young with tremendous up side.

To add or sustain my opening thread I also refer to todays notification-http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/prank-wedding-vows-included-in-carlton-off-season-excursion-to-las-vegas/story-e6frf7jo-1225819424883. To me Judd shows us again and again why we are so lucky he did not come to us as a leader and especially a captain. Glad also we have stuck with Junior to lead the toungest side this year in the comp.

Whilst we are discussing memberships,sponsorships, should Bails gain an extension etc.. one thing entered my mind --that is we need to plan for the match against Brisbane in China on the 17th October 2010.http://www.foxsports.com.au/story/0,8659,26379003-5018851,00.html .This, indeed will make a very long season,especially for our young team.We would want to go full bore and play our best available team as China could become a paradise for us in the future. Re for gaining players, sponsors etc.. a GOLDMINE brewing. As we all know, we have invested there over the last few yearsd, got tremendous network via our former No 1 ticket holder John So. Therefore, we need to keep in mind that this season is going to be perculiar- in that the players most probably will only have a short break if we do not make he finals or still train on if we do. This also will change the normal pattern of pre season for 2011. This indeed maybe also why Bails may get an early extension Your thoughts?

What a load of crap- people want to be the best and gain recognition for it. Look at Cadel Evans - could not get out of his own way in the Tour de France however 2 months later - headlines were-28 Sep 2009 ... Cadel Evans has become Australia's first cycling road-race world champion, winning Sunday's event in Mendrisio, Switzerland. This has brought him a new team etc.. a very important factor for him.. The World Cup of tennis may never overtake Wimbleton but it would become prestige in its own right.

The only escape could be if Sheedy offers him a job with GWS. He won't take it as MFC will be in the eight by 2012 with Bails as coach.

Yep- maybe play 3 setters in many cities in Europe- such as Paris, Wimbleton, and maybe another major city.It is so easy to get to each one. The final in a seperate city again. Intersting to note that this is Hird's one suggestion. He has been sitting on it awhile. Got definate merit- as long as players,say 7 out of top 10 say yes, others will follow.Also spectators will have to think it is brilliant along with television.

High Tower thanks for providing the link.

Deb We sent our via email to: [email protected], Attention to The Editor-in-Chief, Nonimation for Australian of the Year-Jim Stynes And we said why- re his status level with teenagers re Reach & MFC Press enter anmd away it went- Good luck -Jimma deserves it

Got your point - however I do feel that the club would know if he can coach by now- Connolly & Schwab have been around long enough- however I feel a 1 year extension is acceptable but definately no more.

Nasher- I didn't miss your point. But are you saying that a club can judge a coaches appointment within six months, then Bailey should have been sacked 18 months ago. Please be real, it has taken the club 3 years do wean out the weaknesses and recruit to develop a top class team. However, he should be able to show his true & full value as senior coach at MFC within a full year.

These are classified as major country events/ tournaments(GRAND SLAMS). These will not be taken over by the World Cup.We will have to wait and see what the players say.However, indications are it will be different as below: HOW IT WOULD WORK * Tournament would be played once every two years. * 10 day event with 32 teams in eight groups of four, with 16 reaching the elimination stages. * Each tie to feature a single match over the best of five sets - with each player having to field at least two players, allowing for mid-match substitutions. * Maximum of 25 seconds between points * Tiebreaks to be the first to five points

Just don't be so cocksure of yourself. Hope he shows you and up and barbeques your thoughts
