So about Tom Sumpkin???
north city!!!
Rookie
In this link when the guy is talking about the pictures and he says "I can't put a name to the face of the solid kid third from the right" in the third picture, can someone tell him or post it that it is Bryn Weadon the over aged player from the North Ballarat Rebels. I don't have a log in for the website and CBF setting one up.
Bryn is an older ager player as he was injured for the past couple of years. He is a well built medium defender. He rebounds really well from the backline and has a huge kick on him. He is very much a link player who tested very well at the state screenings including (i think) second in the best test with about 14.6 from memory, happy to b proven wrong. If any more info is required just ask.

Does anyone know how Clayton Collard is going at training?
The last i heard he was the head trainer at KFC, and they have never been happier.
So i guess you could say he is Training the house down

Before you all bite my head off, no i'm not looking for trouble or here to bad mouth the tiges.
Just wanted to give you info on a future players of yours.
In the link with the training pics the guys says i won't name this kid who comes from another sporting background......but i will.
His name is Pat Nicholls. massive kid just 18 or 19. tennis background was supposed to go pro very early age and was aussie tennis's next best thing but tennis injuries closed that window. played this year at St Bedes Mentone in A section amateurs, who the grand final for the third straight year rising through the ranks, and he starred all year on bigger bodies and wiser heads.
Hopefully you guys pick him up as a rookie, would flourish at AFL level. they call him 'buddy'. has the same attributes. very tall lanky left footy with pace and alot of skill and flair....
good luck to you guys.

Thanks mate. Always good to hear. No head biting for that input.
BTW - could you sucker punch HAWKER44 if you ever meet him.

Thanks for the info, ITSMYNAME. Interesting stuff.
He's not. On the Ocean Grove return test for the players he absolutely flopped and returned very unfit and so we told him not to return and subsequently delisted him shortly after.

Any news on todays Training?
I went, but didn't pay enough attention to be able to give an overly comprehensive run down.
First thing I noticed was that the reports saying Graham Polak can't see below his knees etc are a load of shit. He took a couple of marks from right off his toes, and his skills seemed fine. Was left out once the drills started getting remotely physical/tight though.
Angus Graham is the biggest man I have ever seen.
Brett Deledio, Matt White, and Nathan Foley are incredibly fast.
Jack Riewoldt can kick a big torpedo.
We are going places.

Why the **** did you quote that post when it was irrelevant to what you said?
And I did pay attention. But it's hard to notice every single player and how they are going. You can't tell who's fit and who's not from little handball drills.
And I was busy showing off my skills to the recruiting managers whose eyes I no doubt caught whilst kicking the footy on the hill over the other side of where everyone was.

Fair enough, Fishy. I wouldn't know, I've never been to a training session/XMAS training night.
How is that for confusing....
I was also at training, and it really surprised me but I saw none other than Ben Cousins make a brief appearance on the track. Looked fit as a fiddle I must say. Maybe this means we could take him with pick 6

leave me out of this Sante! I just shaved my head today so I'm feeling pretty tough right now.
I went yesterday and there wasn't a lot to draw any decent conclusions from. However:
- Gus is massive, but too bad he is a lousy footballer
- Thomson's skills were 100% for what I saw. Some nice daisy cutters, and his handballing is sublime.
- JON is a dud.
- Vickery looked at ease, but Post made several errors, which resulted in push ups.
- Kicking skills overall were pretty impressive given the conditions, however as always when they did pressure drills they fell to pieces.
- Hughes is a friggen monster. Unclear what type of monster at this stage for he was hot and cold.

- Thomson did look very good, much more impressive than Hislop.
- Coughlan looked good, Didn't seem restricted at all. Is a bit lighter but still looked solid
- McGuane looked like he had put on some muscle as did Edwards.
overall the players who impressed me most where Riewoldt, Thompson, Coughlan, Edwards, Hughes and Raines.
Would have been good to see Connors and Cotchin train but it appeared they were on meet and greet duties.
Collins is still very small. I almost thought he was a "rookie hopeful" training with us because of his lack of definition in his body.
Anyone else have any thoughts or chats with the players on Friday that they want to share?
