Chesser

 

[Rugged Blue Bagger]

Who finished top 10 in the 2 km time trial ?

 

[Christou2Kouta]

God I want Moir to step up another level next year. He could really bring another level of polish to our F50 entries.

Chesser?

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Sam Paea the fella walking in behind HOK. Athletic KPP but very raw, played a few games for the VFL team last year.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Boyd looks a lot trimmer, hoping he can break back into the team and finally make use of his kicking talent. If he can get ultra fit and start accumulating 20-25 touches a game instead of 10-15 he'd be a big benefit to the team.

Carrol means business.

It’s amazing, even after such a deflating year, there is always a little bit of zip in me on the first day back!!
I don’t know, this club…..

What are your thoughts on his current body composition?

 

[tragic]

From the photos yesterday and the preseason video Brodie Kemp has put on some serious upper body size. Looks like his role is locked in as the second tall for this season.

 

[BlueLocke]

Gee Billy Wilson is a bit of an athletic specimen; looks to be in terrific condition for the start of a preseason.

Carroll’s head looks like it’s put on some size.

It is but he hasn't hasn't been able to do much running etc. Still not joining in all training which is a concern

Remember when Murphy & Gibbs rolled in 1 year, shaved head and actually looked like they lifted weights. Murphys best year i think.

Rolling into the club
"Wow, you guys look cut as! been on the weights?"
"Umm...yeah, been on the..... weights. Yeah, definitely weights."

What are your thoughts on his current body composition?

About what you'd expect for a 19 year old trying to put on mass, if it was Elijah or Chesser I would have been disappointed given they've had 4 and 3 more years in the system respectively.

Hopefully he's being told to back it off a little bit now, but they do try to give them a little padding so they can still hopefully perform in the final third of the season.

It is but he hasn't hasn't been able to do much running etc. Still not joining in all training which is a concern

I mean it's only been 7 months, he's really only supposed to have resumed running as he builds up strength in that area and works through the issues.

You're talking about a guy who came into the club with an ACL, then had syndesmosis issues. Even if this hasn't all been on the same leg, you'd want him taking it as easy as possible.

As for his apparent gain in upper body strength, I don't really see it, it's just the usual gym session pump, he came in a pretty muscular and broad-shouldered lad.

Dynamic and exciting: Moir on day one message

[BlueJet]

Kicked 17 goals in a game in the EDFL for Alberfeldie

Which was against a div 2 standard side and made up 35% of his year's tally.
Given he was the number 2 option at Aberfeldie, he's coming from a long way back to make it on an AFL list.

He is the one I’m most excited about for 2026. Very skilled and talented and I’m drooling at the thought of watching him across half forward. Could be anything.

I agree, he has a lot of flair and you could see his hard work beginning to show.
Really glad both Hayward and Ainsworth have arrived to mentor him and Jesse.
