Exactly.

According to the MFC Twitter account the MCC logo will only be on the player jumpers, not retail ones.

Did you hear this first-hand? Interesting nonetheless.

Judging by the AHG press conference it's the same and I agree, it's not too bad considering the parameters the club has to work within.

Good stuff, thanks.

The link didn't work for me.

It's been like that for over 12 months now.

New Balance partners for three more years I like the MCC logo on the jumper (I'm not an MCC member, I just like the connection between the two clubs) and the cut of the jumper is much better. By the way James Frawley is the biggest Melbourne players since Phil Read. EDIT: Interesting that Garland mentions the players wanted a flat neckline, the collar wasn't all that popular with the players?

That was the Brisbane game, equally enjoyable nonetheless.

Trengove never has been quick, especially off the mark and this is severely hampering his ability to have any kind of impact at AFL level.

Not surprising to hear Trengove still looking slow and Watts being Watts-like.

Sounds a lot like Neeld's game plan.

Read what I wrote, results can be meaningless but you can begin to get a good indication of how a team will play in these games.

Going into 2007 we were tipped to be a top eight, even top four team. During the NAB Cup I expressed concern but was shouted down by the masses here as it was "only NAB Cup". Yes, results in the pre-season can be meaningless but you can take a lot out the style of play and little trends that start to emerge.

Would have preferred to Rookie Sellar.

Disgraceful isn't it? "Fitter" gets bandied around so much with the MFC but they still look unfit each year.

Beat me to it.

I think that lasted about two weeks.

"Journalism".

Is there a training camp in Darwin this year?

That has been noted, no need to bring it up again.

Agreed.

You're thinking of Troy Simmonds who almost had his neck broken.

It's all an optical illusion because of his tremendously masculine moustache. He's actually much skinnier than last year.

Joke's on him, we got Lynden Dunn!
