The lack of contest stuff is concerning.

Not necessarily, get the bodies in condition first

I’d say the last two years there’s been more match sim and competitive work.
To be honest there hasn’t been a huge amount of running since Burgo arrived (as well as this summer), aside from time trials and the odd mammoth session like Wednesday. Usually about 15-20 minutes late in the session. Mostly stop-start high intensity stuff, definitely no endless laps like clubs used to.
Most of the running work is done during the offseason. Players used to return a lot earlier than they do now due to the AFLPA rules - they used to spend the early weeks mostly just running. But now they jump straight into footy drills.

I don’t think there has been a greater emphasis on running. Wednesday’s season was an outlier.
Wouldn’t worry about their physical condition! In fact they’re much more even across the board, very few carrying excess weight this year.
Fog isn’t much different to previous years but you can tell he’s just a bit bulky. He did have surgery it must be said. He’s back in full training so needs to work hard the next three weeks to fine down a touch.

I must’ve given the wrong impression.
Stoppage work has been minimal and that’s always been the case this stage of the year.
On the flip side, competitive work has been abundant. Lots of match sim and the boys haven’t held back that much. Particularly the last couple weeks.

I’ll also add that I reckon there’s been more focus on kicking this year. Particularly kicks under frontal pressure. The coaches call play-on very quickly after marks, forcing players to make quick decisions.
I’ve also seen a couple instances of players burning the clock by kicking sideways and backwards to loose players. Hopefully this translates to game day instead of long bombs to the right wing that inevitably turn over.

First time he gets the ball he will look left and right take one step too many and get nailed.Rach is chasing mid field time

Well let’s hope not!
Well thats better than Laird throw on boot and not look.
Contract year, there’s no doubt he will.

Fog is massive watch.
Looks to be a bloke that is going to just do enough and not take the next step.
With all the time he's had in the system and resources available he should be absolutely shredded for the first year that Tex won't be around to cover for him.

Fog has looked exactly the same for 5 years now. Not sure how long it will take people to realise he's a massively built guy
I spoke to him after Glenelg losing the grand final a few years ago. He could knock me over with a gentle push. Huge unit.
I thought he was talking about the dance floor

I stood next to him at the airport once. Sure dwarfed me and others around him. That was about his 2nd or 3rd year on the list and he's bigger now.
Yep, definitely needs to be ready to go come 2027. Just get through this year and then it’s his time to stand up.

No issues with Fog's physique from photos. That said, I just think we're at the stage that he is what he is, especially sharing a forwardline with Thilthorpe.
