What the **** does Byrnes do to constantly get a game?! 10 touches and 2 tackles, that bloke can go into a bloody nursing home, put Salem or someone fresh up forward for that geriatric fool

1 thing i just remembered noticing at the end of training
Viney and Kent did a 10-15 hard running session on the ground.....a punishment for being suspended? (Kent VFL of course)

Not much training news, chip and spencer weren't out there again

I'd expect Garland to come back in, trained strongly

Everyone (players and supporters) from what I witnessed and heard ignored the Viney situation

Saw Roosy talking to Fitzy telling him last week his performance was a lot better, unsure whether he'll come back in though

Pretty impressed with Riley, expect him to get his chance sooner rather than later

yeah i'll be there, very keen to see the reaction/everyone getting around Jack and the feel going into a game we feel we have a big chance in for once

Guessing Howey, JKH, Frawley, Dawes, Byrnes & Bail forward. Dunn, Georgiou, MacDonald down back?

Wonder if Salem will be the sub, and was he training with the forwards on Thursday? He seems to be a handy kick on goal, so Roos could put him forward. He wouldn't have the tank to go near the midfield just yet (especially against Sydney's).

He wasn't training with the forwards specifically but was practicing a fair few shots on goal

I think that is that Kiwi international rookie isn't it? Westrupp or something like that?

Ah of course, good call, they were calling him Westy

I might have been the only one to spot him go off about 20 min into training to have a pee on a tree

Announced where and by whom?

After training the group got together and something was announced that got a big cheer from the group and them everyone proceeded to pat Salem on the back and high five him....Salem then went over to say hi to a friend/member of family who was next to me and kept saying 'can't believe it, it's f*****'

Just announced Salem will debut

Michie now doing repeat hard running efforts on other ground

Dom Barry quote as he goes for laps with Tapscott after the group drill and wrestling 'I feel f***** after that!'

Toumpas and Michie not ready for contesting stuff, sat out the 1 on 1 wrestling drill....good to hear Roosy screaming 'it's on Saturday night boys, now we're on!'

Now everyone together except rucks and Kent and Georgiou, not sure what's wrong with Georgiou?

My mail is he's carrying an injury and wouldn't have played Sunday had Jamar been ready.

So he may be on light training and still play with whatever it is or he may not.

Definitely isn't here

Good call, one I haven't seen the face of

Rucks - Gawn Jamar King Fitzy and Pedersen doing ruck stuff

A group doing some 4 on 4, seems to be the Casey bunch? (Garland Strauss Riley Harmes Hunt Barry Blease and a bloke wearing no.50?

Tapscott Toumpas Michie Georgiou doing rehab stuff

Grimes Dawes Frawley doing their own thing

Everyone else (yes including Salem) doing some keepings off in main part of ground

Mood seems to be up, everyone is in the main group except for Hogan who walked laps before disappearing and Kent is jogging laps and looks to have a seperate schedule

No matter how much coach Neeld seems to explain things, people just continue to not understand why things happen

I reckon Neeld has said 4 or 5 times that these blokes were appointed captains for the LONG TERM, and for him to appoint other captains for only 2-3 years would be a waste of time because he knew that at some point in the future Jack/Jack would become captains

Clark has tweeted he's alright. Hopefully available next week. Thought he did the number proud.

It's a shame Dunn couldn't follow his leadership down forward and instead ran around mouthing off like the muppet he is.

and kept murphy to 6 touches in the second half?

Neeld has said Sylvia will play next week after being avaliable for today, but because the club is turning into the professionals that they are, Neeld made him sit out his club-based 1 match suspension after recovering from injury.

What are everyone's thoughts on this? Fair enough? Or did we need him back asap

sorry to be off topic, but i didn't know which thread to say this

was out last night at a bar on chapel st, and saw Jared Rivers, Lynden Dunn and Jeremy Howe absolutely smashed on the dancefloor at this particular bar, is it accepted now that the players are allowed to go out and drink the night after a game?

remember no sylvia after the pre-season events, big loss in my opinion, would be a class above the young lions mids

i'm sorry but if Trengove is named as captain, my opinions on Neeld and the entire Melbourne Football Club will change

The KID is way too young to be considered as captain, sure he will be captain at some stage in his career but not when he's in his 3rd year, please.

My votes go to Moloney or Jamar, with smaller ones going to Jones and Grimes, even though Moloney had the one slip up last year, he is an outstanding player and leader and will thrive even more under Neeld's control.

Please don't make Trengove captain just yet, sure he will lead on the field, but off the field the older blokes experience will far outweigh what he has to offer.

sorry, left out that i'd 100% respect giving Green another chance, his passion and effort can't be beaten, he'll end up like James McDonald, not the greatest player but gives his all and contributes

imagine if he did stay

all the egg on the 'reliable' journalists' faces that claimed he was gone

I could definatly see Warnock coming in

Giansiracusa has been their best forward in the last 3 weeks, frawley is the only one with the versatility to go with him so therefore warnock could come in to play on Hall or another big forward they chuck in the square
