Giro doesn't need to become a star. Guys like deBoer, Crowley, Mzungu, Clancee were important players on our list when we were a top 4 side. If Giro can mirror those guys he'll be handy.

The problem is always how many of those role players you carry. When you have a fully fit team then yeah I totally agree that guys like Giro will perform a role. When we don't, or we're teetering on the edge of not having enough skill in the team, that's when they become a liability because of their limitations. #outpearce
He doesn't need to become a star. I just hope that he doesn't turn into another vanilla player that can get to contests but burns the ball
Agree Ed Langdon already in the team doing that

Giro's kicking was pretty good today. It's easier to execute your skills when you're not fatigued and he's obviously gone and built his tank. I think he'll be better than ok.

Thanks for the training reports! Really really appreciated. I hope one day to go down to one but Ellenbrook is a fair distance haha
They make the preseason so much better and stop me going stir crazy.

I had a look today.
Bennell is an interesting one. He looks absolutely amazing in the drills! His silky hands in close are second to none with his pick-ups and evasiveness a highlight. He doesn’t take part in any of the running. When the players do their warm up with various run-throughs, he just stands around on his own which seems weird. I’d like to see him at least engage with one of the coaches and do some sharp skills work instead of strolling about juggling footys.
Hogan looks very close to getting into it. His hands are marvelous. Strange kicking style with how he holds the ball but very effective nonetheless.
I saw a great moment where hogan was leading for the ball and clunked a good grab before going back for a kick for goal outside 50. Directly behind Jesse was Rory Lobb who stopped what he was doing and gazed on like a kid in a candy shop whilst his group continued around him for 30 seconds. It looked like love!
My other highlight was seeing Nathan Wilson kick it 65 metres to Langdon running away from him at full speed. Eddy didn’t break stride as he took the ball on his chest. I briefly resembled the South Park photo above!

Could it be that all his calf issues...are due to him just not doing his warm up stretches before playing?????
Thanks for that wally!
Not a chance in hell - things like that would be adressed at that level. More evidence for cool downs over warm ups in any case.Could it be that all his calf issues...are due to him just not doing his warm up stretches before playing?????

Im happy. We might be onto something this year . Eeek
In the sessions I've been too, Bennell has been involved in everything so I wouldn't be concerned
Looks like a young Carey

Lock up the WAGs!
Josh who?
Please, please, please [insert relevant deity] let him play like Carey.
And what an amazing change of body shape in a few pre seasons. Along with his natural talent as a ruckman, I am less and less concerned about Sandi having to play for us to win games.

Far out we are going to have one of the sweetest and most skillful backlines in the AFL with Wilson, Ryan, and Cerra moving the ball out of there.
