My love for Blicavs just keeps on growing. Seriously, does anyone else think this guy is our next Jimmy "Mr Fix-It" Bartel? Only considerably taller, and with literally Olympic-standard athleticism?! His preference is to move into the midfield full time, Lord knows that the sky is the limit for him! What a great get, every year I have to pinch myself a little harder!

I'd love to have a balanced list so plauers can just play their ideal positions rather than be forced to plug holes in our structure.

I am just constantly suprised by him, he meets and seems to excel with every challenge thrown his way.
Simply a remarkable story/effort

Boy that looks like Mackie top left corner he must be lost.
Could trial Blicavs in the middle sooner rather than later with the recruitment of Smith; The funny thing is I can't foresee what position Blitz will play in 5 years time if all goes to plan. In my opinion, Guthrie will be a midfielder, Thurlow will play down back, Motlop will be a forward, Duncan will continue to play in the middle etc; these are all predictable acquisitions. Blitz though? Forward? With a bit of polish on his overhead mark and another preseason of set shot practice it is easily achievable. Defence? I can't argue with his composure and defensive nature, and he could run with his opponent all day. Ruck? He's already shown positive signs for the past few seasons. Midfield? A quick, reliable, ruck-sized mid that can play out 4 quarters? Dreaming. Or am I?
Cannot rate this kid enough. Our best pickup in terms of potential, by a long way IMO.
He singlehandedly outperformed every other Cats player in his 3rd season, although many players expected to perform did play well below their standards. I'm on the Blitzwagon and I'm not even ashamed. Geelong's faith in an underdog is paying off, once again.

Maybe he's just waiting for roll call to be done. Knots on cotton muscles have worked alright for him so far, why change for the last 2 yearsBoy that looks like Mackie top left corner he must be lost.

I'm assuming one of the conditioning blokes.... I think he looks like that bloke we got who was working with the Wallabies, but I haven't had a chance to google him to see

I'm liking how Tommy is looking it looks as if he has dropped a few kegs, hopefully it points to him getting back to his leading best and not the wrestling trap he has been in the past few years
Oh dear, three to four weeks.

Was thinking the same thing. Always tough to tell though. Everyone else looks in pretty good nick.

Sorry can't help with that one.But I reckon that's Fred Flanagan in the middle of Mackie and Johnson in the back ground of this one.

He's a total freak, and fancy it was Guthrie's old man who said, "we know this guy who's a runner" ~ it's just unreal!

I loved all the fluff pieces under the pics.

Yeah and if you look closely in that picture of the big guys doing the beep test there is someone concealed (coming last) behind Zac smith, and in the next photo (which the caption says is distance running but which has clearly only been taken moments later) you can see that it's bloody Motlop ha ha!

Whatcha on about ?
I wonder if he's a "hard gainer" so they've just "bulk at all costs" and we'll sort out the rest later?

I think he'll always be lean-looking, SoG. As long as he's lean AND mean, he'll go OK, though, won't he?
