Thanks Webber for your insights…great news re Gawn.We can cope without him, but, we need to get him right as well as gain another ruck as a standby.Schache and JVR did well with Casey.Pity Bell could not be called up, did well Nader the circumstances.

Does anyone else often recall the first bounce of the 2021 Grand Final? Viney absolutely hammered into Jack McCrae and set a standard for the entire team for the rest of the day. 

Brayshaw is my favourite Dees player, but the mix of Gawn hitting it to a combination of Petracca, Oliver and Viney covers every possibility, and has excellence in every department. 

The fact that we can rotate Brayshaw, Kozzie, Harmes, Sparrow etc... through there as second-tier options is mind blowing.

Fully agree- couldn’t say it any better ….but, I would like to see Sparrow get a better go, especially up against lesser teams, needs more action in the guts.( experience).

1/ Oliver

2/ Flower

3/ Gawn

4/ Neitz

5/ Stuart Spencer 

with Special mention to many others including Jim Stynes, Petracca,  Dixon, Ox, May, Townsend 

How has his own body stood up to preseason training. Has his injuries fully  gone now?

I thought James Jordon was BOG, controlled most of the game with Munro, but we missed White and Luke Dunstan in the middle.

At 3QTime the coach said he didn't care what the scoreboard said - that was the truth. We gave up a 4 goal lead going with the wind. Schache was very good early. Varrell rucked manfully. Hibberd had a lot of the ball, but seems now behind Bowey and McVee. Disco Turner, as usual did some nice things. Kye Turner tried in a different role this week, a bit more forward - shows promise. Sestan quiet in that high half-forward role.

Van Rooyen always competes hard, but Schache showed how he (Schache) is a bit cleaner around goals.

 

Thanks for your thoughts- appreciated

All this emphasises how valuable KC from Casey has been over the years. 

Totally agree- been a marvel, and very much appreciated by ALL.But sometimes, we take these sought of things for granted, But,KC- many thanks indeed.

Hibberd looks like he'll play a role for us yet again this year. 

Always reliable.

He’s a certainty, if fit.Him and Rivers will play Bank flank with Bowey warming the seat for Salem in back pocket.McVee May get a look in sometime later in year. Was quite surprised however in the growth of McVee.

Thanks to you and Action Jackson for your info.

Whilst frustrating ,I think Pert’s explanation on our future home was very well explained.In any areas that entails other stakeholders  - those conversations need  to be kept confidential..he did say that two areas had been identified with continued dialogue to continue, two area ,Caulfield and one other MPOS or MPOT, ? 
I didn’t understand the last site …Can anyone enlighten me on this, please

I think he did a good enough job. But you're right, the lack of support around him was minimal unfortunately.

Agree, a very good job under difficult circumstances - with both Men’s and women’s as well as Gus and Gawny…will be heavily missed especially during season

A pathetic streaming attempt…

another communication issue as sound went off, pictures went off and finished half way through.

The media department has been extremely poor this off season.

Been poor for many years now, Ben Gibson tried hard, but, I feel was not given the support he should have endured….

JJ ahead of Harmes is a poor decision. Harmes seems to be out of favour with the coaches, as evidenced in the off season. James Jordon needs to develop his game and be more creative with his play. I thought his inclusion in the side last year actually hindered us. Very slow mover of the ball. Does not hurt the opposition at all. 

In my thoughts Harmes had just an average year in 2022, I also believe JJ is ahead of him right now. 

Thanks for the reports, guys .the insights by Andy and others are very much appreciated 

Very enjoyable- thanks Deemist for sharing it…very worthwhile, shows the real human element of TMac.

Andy, good on ya, and you would do an excellent job.I took the issues up with Leigh Newton, Ryan Larkin , Jennifer Watts many years ago without success..These issues re train8ng times and where?,new player  reviews, photos, re heads of new players on players web page got me no where….I strongly suggest, your colleagues, such as WJ, George, Binman etc need to write to Pert with acc.to Libby Blampied, GM of Marketing may get us somewhere…..but totally understand the frustrations of many….it is quite pathetic.I understand if indeed it is a closed session, Why no notification, but one would think the club would indeed enjoy us going to training.One can see why, Geelong, Collingwood, Hawks etc enjoy being a strong club, but Melbourne? Andy, thank you for your effort , anyhow.

With Benny Gibson going - I say bring back Matt Burgun,

Training report:

The sun was out at Gosh’s Paddock this morning, and a few keen track watchers were ready to report in.  The ground was in magnificent condition, and as the Melbourne Rebels finished off their training run, hitting the bags, doing agility work, line out practice and fast ball movement the scene was set.. for the biggest let down since last year’s straight sets exit.

After relaxing in the sun for an additional half an hour I was wondering “Well, where are you lads?”.  Checking in on the DL site showed me that I was to be as disappointed as a Cats supporter without red hair and an overbite.  OK, so onto the bus and head back to el rancho nekkid.

I hope the powers that be are pleased with themselves - here was my one chance to skive off and do a report for DL, and get a selfie with Mrs Nekkid’s favourite, Big Maxy Gawn.

I was not put out as many but still, this mob work as well as our forward line did last year.

I hope someone made it down to Casey and there will be something to enjoy after that joyful outing…..

I'm going to contact the club  it's  just not good enough. I spent money on putting my daughter into before school care specifically so we could get into town early, then paid for an adult & child to travel from Carrum to Richmond and back, Petrol money from Balnarring to Carrum, 4 hours of wasted time. I'll be asking for a decent voucher from the Demon Shop.

Good on ya, please report your findings , pity others with influence doesn’t do the same..

I have travelled from Ballarat..this is becoming totally unacceptable…This has been going on for years now…I took the matter up around 12+years ago…when Leigh Newton was there and nearly got barred for it…maybe an issue to take up with at the GM .or write to Pert.
