Injured forward Brody Mihocek is still a long way from returning to play after suffering a broken neck, but he continues to improve his movement as well as finding a role in the Melbourne coaching box.

Mihocek was spotted on the MCG with the Melbourne playing group tonight as they warmed up for their crucial clash against Geelong.

“I started running today which was a positive and the last couple of weeks I have done a bit of gym,” Mihocek told Channel 7.

“Anything I can do to get moving, and the main thing is being involved with the boys throughout the week and on game day. It makes me happy getting around everyone and at least getting some exercise in.”
