Great decision
Him and AJ will be top tier coaches in the near future

Hynes getting a mention. Good signs. Excited about this kid.

So who is Anthony Barry, mentioned as joining the coaching group?

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

No no , he’s pissed cause the dacks they gave him were Robert Klomps old ones !

No, he's pissed off being the short one with two beansticks either side in the photo. Need more Caleb Daniels.

 

[Charlie Bucket]

I blame my English football upbringing, can’t bring myself to do it any other way.

I suppose it helps me to visualise the team better.

Tell me you’re not a Spurs fan, and all is forgiven.

So who is Anthony Barry, mentioned as joining the coaching group?

A former Footscray player who has been an assistant coach at Footscray at recent years. Promoted to development coach at AFL level.

Dan Curtin looks huge, hopefully Hynes can come into 2027 looking like that

Hynes getting a mention. Good signs. Excited about this kid.

He's really come back in good shape, after being among the last in the TT last year. Looks like he's spent all off season running.

I'm huge on the kid. I think he'll be great for us, probably that Matt Kennedy role of HF swapping with the mids. I think he's got real goal sense and moves well in traffic.

I couldn't stay long today but Carmichal and Emmett caught the eye.
Emmett's got a really neat kick and he weights those kicks really well.
Carmichael overheated his kicking just a couple of times but conditions weren't ideal.

 

[Lindsay_Gilbee]

Keen to see how Frieja is used next season. I think we have an [PLAYERCARD]Ed Richards[/PLAYERCARD] sized hole down back that he should be filling. But not many blokes have a game like he did v Sydney in their second year…

Jason Tutt in his 1st ever game. Against Port, 2011. Had 24, kicked 4.

Did you catch their squad numbers?

 

[El Rancho]

Man United

 

[DiamondDogs8]

Believe me I’m not thrilled about it either

 

[Dougs Wing]

I don't believe the club doesn't want them released yet so I will respect that.
They even went to the effort on scoreboard to use their initials rather than the numbers they were wearing.

 

[Mojorisin]

After this week's viewing a few highlights. Hynes looks like he will be able to spend more time on ball this year which will be good for his development.
JOD looks like his put on atleast 5kg of muscle and looks like he may be a genuine keyback option rather then a bit player.
Gallagher somewhat of a suprise packet, looks in great shape.
Patience needs to be taken with all three draftees, Charmichael will be the first to debut no doubt but I'm not sure it will be in the first few weeks

 

[SPower]

Go Gags , we need development from our youngsters.

 

[DognBones]

Hopefully, this is just a camera quirk but on first look Baker Boy seems to have been in a good paddock.

JOD has never struck me as a keyboard warrior, but interested to read his posts!

Hopefully at Scotty West levels of posting.

They've been released now
Carmichael 2
Darcy 15
Budarick 19
Emmett 25

100 days to the first game against the Lions. Who is counting, me. I guess will just have to be satisfied with beating the poms at cricket and the AO tennis. However, nothing compares to watching the dogs.
