Older demon

After today Ah Mu must catch someones eye.

Ryan Shelton now starring in the Toyota ads

Mature age recruits at Casey are Miller Bergman (Kangas) Luamon Lual (Bombers). The academy boys are Coates League under-18s recruits - Stingrays: Toby Sinnema, Tairon Ah-Mu I cannot think of any other train on players, and unaware if we could poach similar guys training at other clubs to cover long term injuries

Article in the Age today with respect to the AO and Craig Tiley's grand plan "Magpies open to vacating nest to help Australian Open keep growing""With the Melbourne Football Club highly likely to relocate this year as at least a short-to-medium-term move to Waverley after Hawthorn’s shift to Dingley, there would be scope for Collingwood to temporarily train at Gosch’s Paddock and potentially use the gym facilities at AAMI Park."

I am pleasantly surprised by Kal White. Playing him up forward, he has kicked goals, looks a beautiful kick and is very athletic. I don't expect him to play this year, but he has all the moves. We may not be aware of it, but with so many first-rounders in the last 2 years and a heap of talented youngsters, I hope our rebuild on the run will bring a lot of success, and I love the way we have changed our game style. None of the pundits have noticed this YET.

And the weather forecast is for a very hot day. Not a nice way to restart training.

Thank you for this superb slide show, and the soundtrack is a masterpiece. Somehow you managed to get a pic of me and my daughters dog with more signatures on his MFC jumper than I thought possible. Merry Christmas

The answer surely lies within the leadership group. Who is last year's leadership group, and look to who is appointed this season? I have a lot of time for Rivers.Lever was until he started to get injured too often and of course Viney is still vice captain.

I think it was Big Bob Johson, who finished his career at Oakleig,h who used to run the "Beef on a Spit" business not Tassis

Jack Henderson has been struggling with a groin injury listed as far back as July this year. For the trackwatchers is there some risk he will end up on the Long Term Injury list and create an opening for a player we have as a train on over summer?

The biggest revelation in this mock is Carlton trading pick 11 for our GCS 1st round in 2026. Giving us pick 7,8 & 11. And declares we take Taylor , Nairn and Lindsay

Where is Ethan when we need him? he has already hinted MFC has a surprise up its sleeve for the draft. Now he has gone silent. Not even a follow up hiunt.

I liked his analysis and not bombing it in. He could easily be the forward coach

And where will we play Geelong?

My condolences to the Whalan and Vickers-Willis families. This is so unfair, and I know her side of the family are mad MFC supporters. I hope the club can reach out and offer some sympathy,
