Closed session this morning!

Played a short full ground practice match but I couldn't catch much of it. Things I could see:
- Kreuzer playing forward
- Watson playing down back
- Warnock going head to head with Wood
- Jones obviously playing forward but was interestingly matched up against Dick. Will be interesting to see how opposition teams match up on Jones
- Carrots clobbered Zac in a marking contest and quickly went back to see how he was. I think he was worried about how Irishmen react to rough play in training at Princes Park
- Difficult to recognise players as just about all of them had caps on
- A lot of voice amongst the group as you could hear them from a block away when walking to the ground
- most of the play was along the boundary lines and we'll see if that's Micks plan this year

Managed to sneak into the ground and see this but I was literally the only person in the stands and eyes quickly turned my way. Watched a few minutes and then left

That's not an 18 year olds body.

Walsh seems to have been thrown straight into all the main group drills.....may be performing better than expected.

Reports are from WA that he is one of the hardest working kids to come through the system (explains his physique) and just an old style smart footballer.

Not sure what limitations he has that made him fall through to the rookie draft but may be a lack of pace

Lots of new players on the list there. So, so glad with the turn over we have managed to do in the last 2 years.
 
Hard work pays off for Cam

“When my manager told me that a two-year deal was on the table even I was a bit surprised, so it came out of nowhere really, but it’s a great show of faith from the Club and I’ll be looking to repay that as much as I can,” Wood said.

You may not even get another game at the club Cam but you've deserved the contract. Don't kid yourself.
