CHANGES: Rd 02 vs Carlton
3 real feel good stories. Good luck to all 3 and credit to them for the hard work they must have put in with no football being played the last 3 months.

Yep, latest injury report has Petty (groin), Preuss (Achilles) and Hore (toe) sidelined. At least a month for all of them.

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - HARLEY BENNELL
Thought so too except the part where he said judging by T Macs comments Harley is still holding back a bit and you get exposed by Carlton at the MCG by doing that.

Coronavirus: AFL & MFC
What happened to the Round 2 Crowd thread? Caroline Wilson stating fans will be allowed into the Gabba and Metricon this weekend.

CHANGES: Rd 02 vs Carlton
Help me out here. In : Bennell, Jones, Salem, Weid Out: Bedford, Spargo, Brown, ???? Possibly ANB, Lockhart might be the unlucky one to miss with Salem coming back into defence and with Harmes set to play back there also.

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - HARLEY BENNELL
Becoming very hard to control the excitement with all these reports. So many supporters excited by the prospect of Harley running out with us as early as next week, can’t even imagine how he is feeling.

You can just feel this scenario playing out next week.

Backline Selection Dilemmas
Good problem to have but I’m guessing most teams are in a similar boat after the layoff. Chaplin talked a bit about Lever having great endurance which enables him to play 100% of game time especially with shorter quarters. That helps us to better utilise rotations elsewhere on the field, same can be said about O Mac. 100% game time again in R1, don’t think he’s missing out anytime soon unless someone proves they can play his role better. Like others, I’m most excited by the prospect of Rivers running out very soon. There was a lot to like from the North game in preseason.

The Clutch Shot?
Around 40m or closer i’d go T Mac. Over 40 I’ll choose Hunt, he holds the clutch award from 2019.

Has anything else been reported on this apart from the news vision last night Damo? Hopefully it’s nothing but a bit of a back rub.

Footy without crowds
Shellacking @Sir Why You Little, they could’ve brought the cardboard cutouts on as replacements, the wind might have blown some over on the Roosters players and actually laid a tackle.

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - HARLEY BENNELL
According to Salem on SEN we had some match play last Saturday and Bennell completed the majority of it and pulled up fine. We did see some vision of him in match sim last week but from memory that was a midweek session. We have another match play scenario this Saturday and if all goes well we might at least see Harley putting his hand up for Carlton.

A Lockdown Lesson: Old Footy Was Better
The aim of the game back then was just to get the ball forward and score. You hardly saw any of your best players on the bench unless injured. Players weren’t afraid to use both feet and used to great effect, players these days run arcs to get on their dominant side. Skills were so much better, clean pick ups, one grab marks etc etc.

CHANGES: Rd 02 vs Carlton
Thought Lockhart got better as the game went on. He was guilty of leaving his man a couple of times in the first quarter and getting sucked into the contest allowing easy goals. Hopefully with more experience he learns when to go or not but this thing about getting numbers to the contest in every part of the ground becomes really frustrating at times. Going back to the preseason doco i remember Goody praising the boys that played against North in the scratch match for having about 90 less possessions and still winning the game. Said something along the lines of you don’t have to possess the ball as much as the opposition if you defend well. The amount of times we see 3-4 defenders running to spoil makes you think it’s a directive. Why hasn’t that stopped?

Bigger Bench?
I’d be keen to see a poll amongst ‘landers. Would a bigger bench work with shorter quarters?

TRAINING: Wednesday 27th May 2020
That music from the match sim vision, anyone else feel like going clubbing after watching it? Good bit of content today, watching them in game mode certainly regenerates interest.

Vanders with ball in hand? Nice!!

TRAINING: Tuesday 26th May 2020
It would be nice to swing by Goschs at some stage this year to have a look at the boys but according to Goody in the ‘Ask The Coach’ clip Casey without doubt will remain as the base for the remainder of the season. He says we are too restricted this season with the other clubs such as Storm and Victory at AAMI.

CHANGES: Rd 02 vs Carlton
Still hold some hope for Hunt to get back in the team at some stage. He performed ok playing forward last year. Not in many people’s best 22 here.
