Would be even worse if they're "hard at it".

Do you use firefox? Any time i want to load a bigpond video i use internet explorer. The only time i do use it, but it works when i do.

Sounds to me that he plays like Grimes (when he's down back). Not a bad thing, especially with Grimes body just being a bit suss (and if it works out, maybe it'll free Frank to the midfield).

Twelve months ago, Tom Hawkins was going nowhere. Two months ago he won the Cats a grand final. The big fellas take time. Hopefully we can get something good out of him!

Bail was late ND, Jurrah PSD via a loophole, would've gone in the ND.

Club probably wanted to rookie him, but had word that he'd get rookie'd elsewhere first so decided to strike in the draft. Never know, change of scenery etc. Kinda makes a boring draft even more boring though.

The draft itself is tomorrow! Why do a phantom first round on the day of the draft haha.

I have no problems with neither Davis nor McDonald with our two 50's picks last year...

Very, very optimistic... but yes would be nice. Hopefully they keep up the interviews with Misson/players/etc. Keeping the fans in touch and optimistic during the off season is the best way to keep the memberships going. A big christmas drive will probably come soon too.

Riewoldt 2010 GF Replay? It was a great smother by Shaw but [censored] me, have some awareness Roo!!

I was thinking the exact same thing... may avoid a situation like last year where Fevola potentially harmed the development of Cook.

I dont think 7 are doing any games on delay next year? From memory a few of the start times changed so 7 would show them all live

Herald Sun article about him by Jon Ralph in today's paper. Hawthorn great Michael Tuck says drugs in past for son Travis

Nah the rookie small/medium forward we delisted last year. Debuted in the WB 'pink' friday night game.

Anyone else get the email from the club today about the Melbourne foxtel package? Not sure if its a cheaper deal than normal, but you get a special Melbourne remote, $50 donated to the club by foxtel and a $25 voucher for the MFC store. Not a bad time to sign up if you dont have it, i guess.

Danny Hughes training with the Saints? He gets a lot of shots at it!

Reckon its probably good to start just with the players already listed - get those boys going, then bring in the "permission to train" players a few weeks later when the players already on our list are flying. It'd better show the unlisted players exactly what they need to do to possibly earn a spot. With Maric its probably different because he has been around before and knows what preseason is all about. When are the lists officially lodged/released? Every monday/tuesday?

It's not Tom. Watch the video of them running around the oval as a pack (0:13s) - you'll see Mcdonald in a blue top with Bate, Jamar and Davis, whilst the guy in the red is further back and he is definitely shorter than the rest (and looking at his watch - pretty sure he is some sort of fitness guy).

Starting to stress after 1 week of pre-season? Geez... MFCSS

Not a 'best 22' player but, like Warnock was, its nice to have him to fill in temporarily when players go down with injury etc. Still a chance to get a go at GWS next year.

Tom Mcdonald 4th. I have really high hopes for TMc, in 10 years time i reckon he will be leading the list of "draft steals". 55 or something he went at? Two of the top four are in only their second year... hmm.

Kennedy and McGlynn were different though - they just couldn't afford to match the offers that Sydney were making in terms of $$$. Heard Dunstall say hundreds of times that they really wanted to keep them both. Still, the Hawks might have a "Culture of team > Ability of one player" type of policy in place, so they wanted Tuck out whilst he had issues. Who knows.

With his speed, Blease will definitely get a "sam run like the breeze" pun used by at least one commentator if not more. I look forward to it.

Looks more like Cale is look at the clipboard in Missons hand... nothing to see here zzz move along folks

Bartram lost his dad and played the next day... obviously different people rely on their family and mentors to different extents, but if i was Wonna football would be one thing i'd hold onto more dearly after these incidents rather than letting go of it. Oh well. Best of luck to Aussie - i lost my dad at around same age (and on my mothers birthday) and so i know that it's very tough. Hopefully he can carve out a good life up there and maybe go about dominating one of the local leagues. Thanks for the memories
