Bucks and coaching staff watched from the boundary calculating pluses and minuses while fitness staff organised a full scale practice match; Bucks best available 22 versus all injured players. Injured players won the game. Bucks team was +18 clearances, +12 inside 50s, -30 contested ball. Injured team won because they kicked more goals. This leaves a headache for selection committee this week.

Overheard younger player complaining it's not fair Lachie and Joshie can't play still; they we're fun. At least they had a crack!

What the??

Did anyone actually attend training?

What makes you think that's not how it all unfolded?

For no reason other than believing our players may have finally realised the gravity of the situation. Tonight I got a great feeling that we'd turn our season around this weekend against the lowly Brions. I dared to dream about how great it would be if we actually made the finals from here, however unlikely it is. I dreamt of gloating to my mates who are bagging us and reveling in our misfortune.

So I came in here to read how well our boys trained... Not a single person is actually talking about training. It turns out everyone is bagging our players, even our own supporters. How deflating, I actually feel really sad now

P.S. I know it's meant to be a bit of a joke but that just makes it worse

I think you'll find most of us were just taking the piss out of the situation. Maybe I have a warped sense of humour but I actually got a laugh out of this light hearted view of training.

Seeing this board derailed by the old MM vs Bucks today is what's deflating.

We have to learn to laugh at ourselves this season. A bit of frivolity can't go astray

It's not all doom and gloom mate, in the impromptu scratch match the orange team got "nutted in the contest" due to the white team "working harder"

Grundy practised jumping in ruck contests whikst the ball was still rising only to land and still see the ball in air.....

Blackmores injury update after training:
- Witts received a minor graze on his elbow at training. He is expected to miss 7 weeks.
- Someone looked at Reid in a funny way. He will miss 4 - 8
- The wind changed suddenly as Varcoe was walking to the changerooms. His Collingwoodised hammys exploded. 12 weeks.
- Howe broke another finger trying to take a screamer by catching a stray frisbee that was launched from the crowd in Treloar's direction. KB seen fleeing the scene, Caro his getaway driver.

Intentional?

Or the handball it to a team mate under 10 times as much pressure as you are.

Provided the hand ball is high enough that the player has to jump a meter off the ground to catch it. Thus allowing the opposition players to make ground and lay a tackle instantly.
