Did no one see the Jones injury? Took my little cousin in, since his parents wouldn't and his begged for ages. Jones came off towards the end and was driven by golf cart to their rooms. Have a couple pics but files are to big to post

Really? Ancient didn’t mention that. He must have left by then. Hope it isn’t serious - the golf cart thing sounds ominousDid no one see the Jones injury?

Sounds like you were sold a pup...Sounds great, but I'm driving to Adelaide to pick up a puppy on Friday. I hate to miss a good sausage sizzle.
Okay so I have quizzed Ancient about training today so here are the things I learned:
Kent and Salem absent - probably hiding from Goody following the great boot camp mutiny. The rehab group included Hogan, Weed, Tommy - also the new dudes were separate from the main group doing some drills with Crossey and Garland, apart from the Casey guy whose name I can’t ever remember how to spell. Is it Fritsch? Anyway he was with the main group. Ancient didn’t see Petracca training at all but he must have done stuff with the rehab group early because he had a nice chat with him as he (Ancient) arrived and Trac was heading back to AAMI. He was shirtless so presumably had been running or something, unless he is just your run-of-the-mill partial nudist.
Hogan and Weed had a sort of goal kicking competition which Hogan won apparently.
It sounds like they were doing the same sort of drills as previous sessions. So they spent some time split into groups of defenders, mids and forwards doing things. Lewis is grouped with defenders at present. Ancient reckons Lever looks excellent, and is very vocal and encouraging and so forth. A very self confident young man.
He also singled out Brayshaw and Oliver for training house down honours. There was lots of running and then some match simulation type drills, moving the ball quickly through the corridor. The general impression was that everyone looked sharp so we had better win lots of things or I’ll get angry.
Apparently McCartney gave Pig a mighty serve for something or other - lots of authentic yelling and “if you don’t like it you can leave” stuff. Don’t know what provoked it, but Hibberd didn’t leave so presumably learned to like whatever it was that needed liking.
That’s pretty much all the detail I have except for the report that the Santa Claus seemed creepy somehow and Daisy was having her photo taken with about a million kids.
I asked Ancient. He said Mitch King was wearing no 1 in the main group - Jesse was with the rehab group for whatever reason today doing a spot of goal kicking practice with Weedy. He wasn’t certain off the top of the head who was wearing 37, but we looked it up just then and it’s Dion Johnstone’s number, so it was probably him.
This is 100% accurate.Hib looks like your quintessential weekend footballer. Reckon he would much rather be having a parma and pot than training but when it comes to game day he goes as hard as anyone.

The post of him trying to fish his golf clubs and new buggy out of a lake on the golf course with his wedge last week is a classic!He is very much train hard, play hard, party hard (mind you the partying is in the off season)
Think they are on Xmas break, Trac is showing off his rig in the Maldives.Does this team ever train?
Went through Richmond the other day and didn't notice any properties damaged let alone shaken to their foundations.
Stuff him! Win a Brownlow, then go to the Maldives.Think they are on Xmas break, Trac is showing off his rig in the Maldives.
He really is fighting for his career! Good on him.Bugg won the time trial ahead of TMac and Nib.
Good on him for winning it but who gives a crap about running times. Learn how to kick the pill between the big sticks occasionally and you can eat pies all summer for all I care
I agree with you sentiment but you can't knock the bloke for obviously putting in the hard yards over the off seasonGood on him for winning it but who gives a crap about running times. Learn how to kick the pill between the big sticks occasionally and you can eat pies all summer for all I care
Tmac has been dethroned!

I have literally no idea why Melbourne are dragging their feet about appointing you fitness coach.Good on him for winning it but who gives a crap about running times. Learn how to kick the pill between the big sticks occasionally and you can eat pies all summer for all I care
Plus, it shows some heart. Some desire.I do agree with the basis of your argument, for mine a footballer will always overrule an athlete. But running is so important these days in the modern game.
