I estimate about 75% of the supporters were NM. Very disappointing because top level women's footy is now very watchable particularly when conditions are good. Hat's off to the Demon Army who are just wonderful. The effort, the banner, the noise they create make up for a lot.

The team. Everyone gave everything, they all get votes from me.

I met her once and really liked her. Thoughtful, engaging and approachable. Each to their own.

I was there. So proud of our women. Gave it everything they had. The extra week really impacted in the last. Women's footy at this level is now a very good watch. Thanks so much ladies, I've loved supporting you.

So why didn't he get drafted?

For the oldies, Rono won't be happy!😃

We are all on leave from the dead.

What sort of players is he Dazz?

She did some fitness test activities and then was involved in some of the three quarter field drills and appeared to move well. She's a chance.

I reckon JT has seen more.

Whilst we don't know who JT rates what seems clear is that no matter the combination ahead of us we are happy with what's left, hence no trading of picks. That gives me a lot of confidence.

Kate Shelley Megan Tahlia Spooner Maggie So many did so well. Actually make 1. The team. What a fantastic effort.

I’ve got no idea who you’re talking about.

There was a drill for this on the Wednesday.

A lot of the intel on “who we want” doesn’t come from us, it comes from the information that is in the market place about who we spoken to in terms of parents, under age footy coaches, teachers and any other people we can find who can give us an insight into the person and not necessarily “the skills”, which of course are there for all to see. Clubs knew we wanted Kolt because two of our blokes flew to WA to have lunch with his parents says before the draft; you don’t do that unless you’re very interested, and that interest may have been narrowed down in the last week. Hence the “bolt” up the board. So it’s got very little about keeping cards close to your chest and more about who knows who you’re putting time into. That’s why Cal gets it pretty right in his mock draft rather than his player ratings. He’s clearly very well connected.

This drill involved blocking and protecting the tackling players from the ball carrier. It was too complicated for me to fully understand but it wasn't just a keepings off and handballing for goal. The session was a lot less intense than Monday and there was much more running. AMW won't be in full training until after Christmas as they nurse him along with his ACL program but he is as fit as a fiddle. Brodie was doing much more high speed running today and more lateral movement stuff. Hendo is recovering from a groin complaint and is on limited lateral movement drills. AJ also spent a little time out of main training but CJ trained much more with the group than he did on Monday.

And as luck would have it over the years we end up with 6 rucks, no KPB and 14 small forwards on our list. As Old says "it's not that simple".

It goes to credibility.

Yeh, right. So you have sensitive inside information that you decide to share on a fan forum so that,what? It doesn’t help the process but might hinder it if GC think someone at MFC is leaking. There’s no upside. People genuinely in the know don’t leak on a fan forum because they know their information supply dries up.

What is your motivation for posting your information?

Molly looked good at training today and completed a fitness test and then joined full training. Blaithin didn’t do any training with the group. Saraid trained away from the group doing a bit of running. Jacinta doing some more gentle rehab including a few short kicks.

What happened to Micks presser. I can’t find it.

I've seen a fair bit of the women's training at Gosch's this year but quite a bit has been captain's run and flush runs. Today was full on and it was full on. Having watched the women over the journey I was struck today and how much the game has improved. The speed of the game is significantly faster, the ball handling much cleaner and the kicking, particularly for goal much improved. Standing close to them today during the match drill highlighted to me how far they have come, it was quick and skillful. The other thing that is noticable is what a happy bunch they are. There is a genuine buzz and enjoyment in what they are doing which contrasts with the men's training sessions which also has a buzz but is somehow different. And the women seem to at least recognize and appreciate track watchers. Eden particularly smiles and says hello, Saraid Taylor another that over the journey has been proactively friendly and all of them just give a different vibe to us compared with the men. It's good fun watching them if you're considering a journey to Gosch's. And they train for well over 1 and a half hours. I had to leave early as I had a 2 hour parking spot. Despite the cold today, and it was, it's fun watching them.

Redleg can you clarify if there is going to be a designated track watchers area with appropriate facilities?
