[Rod Stroker]

a week long camp so you'll get a chance next week when they release times

I get there Wed night so I'll probably only see their last session then on the Thurs or Fri

Was there today. Session started well but was abit underwhelmed as it went on. Skills dropped off for majority for me with the exception of guys you would expect.

Wardlaw looking good, disposal not sharp however

Sheez just class, LDU looking very good today, FOS continues to look great.

Hardeman looking very sharp for me aswell.

Urqs, Jy, PC, Corr all outside but there. Doing running drills and such

Bull, Larkey (left a little early with sore knee) and LMAC full

2 yellow hats being Spargo and Braydon

Didn’t spot Duurs or Goater. Duurs I was looking for.

I was watching him closer today. Last time he didn’t standout but I aimed to watch for him abit closer today. Looked good for me. Looked strong aswell.

Does anyone else ever have a moment of existentialism where they remember certain spuds are still somehow on our AFL list?

Fisher, CCJ, Spargo, Corr all come to mind

Worst thing is there all from other clubs, shows how bad our list management is.

Yes me with pink and Scott

And thankfully that should only be 12 more months before both gone

I’m not sure exactly we can expect all of them to be axed, we obviously will need to fill a few spots but none of these types will return much and we will only have a handful of picks .

Yes we can hit fa hard ish but who’s up .

I think there will be a few to jettison but we aren’t going to drop 10 guys

You’d think
Corr is done

Darling might retire *

Parker might retire*

Scott would need a bloody miracle SnapBack

CCJ was lucky to get a deal

Stevens doesn’t look like making it

RHJ and Banch I don’t see it

Harvey is on a knife’s edge critical year

Then George /Goater simply need to demonstrate they could get on the park

I think pink has done enough to at least be in the squad but one would hope our other kpds take over his spot.

I know lmac isn’t popular here but I think he’s marked quite harshly and still at present is a lower part of the 25 player. Again call him a squad player if you wish.

I just think we are going to stagger the exits. I don’t think we will pay out any contracts so I think that won’t be a possibility.

Yes we will get draftees/FA/trades but I don’t think with the currency we have we will be rapidly upgrading these spots

Good to see big Monkhorst in the photos online. I thought he may have left after Hampson joined us.

We're still going to need to hold onto some of them to balance maturity with drafting 3-5 young guys.
Lmac, Darling, Corr and CCJ I think are fairly obvious ones. Parker another who might retire or has one more year.
Depends on what you can bring in during trade or FA with mid 20 yo players, as well as Jy and Duursma decisions.
I'd say they keep Pink and Logue (if he performs) and make a call on one of them end of next year.
If Hansen Jnr and Harvey get cut, then you probably hold onto JK and Banch as depth.
River will get moved to the rookie list I would think, but needs to show some progress in the VFL.
Might mean a Powell or Fisher stays on the list if Simpkin and Scott go to keep some maturity on the list.
I don't think we'll be short of players to cut and those who are out of contract are likely first to go.

can toby pink **** off

Quite clearly just giving it his all at training.

 

[RooInNorthLondon]

Fingers crossed it really isn’t anything serious with Nick. No matter what it is good to see a proper contest from Pink this early in the going. I believe in training into good habits in whatever you are doing and footie is no exception. Also all in favour of Clarko’s surprise 2k. These boys need to learn to run and run and run so over the season their tanks can do the consistent two-way work we haven’t seen for a decade. If the body is able then it is all down to the mind being willing and that should be non-negotiable.

Can you?
