SEN1116 were suggesting this morning that the banned 12 will be using Latrobe University- Bundoora (Melbourne) as the training base.
Makes sense as Malthouse has ties with Latrobe

I've tweeted the club asking for an update.

No response.

Of course.

Gach stayed down for a little bit, got up himself, then couldn't really walk that well and got helped off the ground.

Also on further reflection I'll say our gameplan from a first look didn't seem much different. I think they want players to run and carry more -- the likes of Fanta & Tippa were the best at this -- but I found a lot of guys kicking out of the back 50 took the first option out wide. One good thing was that there were a lot more players in the forward half leading out wide and creating space. The problem was that either not enough of the guys in the middle took advantage of that space, or the player with the ball as I said above saw the first option out wide and took it.

On the plus side, decisions improved as the game went on.

It's very hard to get a solid read on game plan cohesion with all the new faces at this point, I think.

There is still going to be a lot of adaptation and accustoming to be worked through.

Besides the injury worries, there seems to be one positive, the forward line seems to have several scoring options, I'm not concerned with us going wide as long as we are going forward, also there would be a number of guys who played today that will spend plenty of time in the VFL side so in grading the game plan we need to look at the guys who will form the bulk of the senior side.

Yeah exactly, as Worsfold's said, he's had to strip the plan right back to let them figure each other out.

The concern is that a number of the times they went wide led to players then having next to no options forward and having to resort back to kicking sideways/backwards again. It really only worked when the player out wide was running into space, which started happening a bit more as the game went on.

As per above though, it's just going to take some time.
 
JD fed up with everyone paying on the placement of his leg tattoo.

Francis is nowhere near as big as everyone says.
