McQueen - the rucking was just jamar and martin as gawn is injured and spencer in rehab. fitzpatrick came in for jamar a bit to rest him up. They were pretty even in battle

Went down to Casey this morning. Great turn out plenty of supporters i thought. Happy to answer any questions on my observations but of particular note: Spent the bulk of the session doing match simulations in regards to setups and stoppages. Neeld would yell out “ball up on the 50” or “centre bounce” or “boundary throw in forward pocket” and have players run this way and everyway to get to the stoppage and set up correct. The second the stoppage was won then – BANG – off the run 50 metres to the next stoppage. AFL umpires in attendance to coordinate it all and award free kick if needed. Involved a lot of match related running and quick thinking about YOUR role for the team in every situation. Never seen this happen before, thought it was a smart and brilliant way to combine fitness while testing player’s knowledge. Gysberts excelled at this drill, our best clearance player behind Moloney and his slight frame would be the only thing that could stop him from a big impact this season. Tapscott, J Viney, Jurrah, Evans, Bartram and McKenzie were off on their own doing running. Bate wasn’t at training Magner is a MASSIVE unit, is just Nathan Jones number II and if he has the polish that some mature aged footballers lack to take the next step, will be our Ed Curnow this season. Serviceable and an astute pick i think. Jeremy Howe really does stand out. If you never seen or knew the players at the MFC and watched today’s session as a Draft Camp, you would say Howe is in the Top 5 most talented players on display and you would draft him!! Really liked Taggert’s presence and swagger around the track, he seems confident and contributes well. Not always the case – Maric was one example of someone who always seemed to be uncertain. Its not till you go to training that you appreciate the size of players, with the height of Morton and increased size on Blease catching my eye Davey and Green are very much class acts, their super goal kicking actual embarrassed their other forwards at times. Davey trained well to my eye, and i think the forward line will change his fortunes. Do think that Green’s “bad year” may be a little exaggerated it think. Cook is very much a development player, but his talent is there. Coming off a low base due to injury. He is Watts 2 years ago, and we all know what has happened to that man since. Give him time at Casey 2012 and judge him the year after. Clark is a serious size, a little slower than i thought but probably has bulked up since Brisbane to be the gorilla i need. The old “Speccy Bag” came out towards the end for the big fellas to take hangers. Petterd, Howe and Stef Martin the standouts here. LOVED IT!!! Troy Davis trained with the midfielders, and has nice skills and pace for a KPP. Good luck to him at Casey this year, he is a debut chance in 2012 Enjoyed my morning very much. In honestly don’t recognise my Club anymore. And i am wrapt!!!! We are prepared, have talent but also the structures to ensure its not just potential. Whether the Club wants me to or not, i have Top 8 expectation this season now.

Im in too please!!!

He is a good player who now has his head straight. Will be the best get of the VFL this year.

Delighted to hear that he will be training with the club during November in the hunt for a chance to join the MFC list. Highly recommended by Paul Satterley his VFL coach at Werribee last year, when he finished 4th in the Liston Medal. A tall midfielder in his early 20s, a bargain, ready to go to step straight in for Scully. My fingers are crossed.
