Oh I agree. Just to say he hasn’t t trained all week is a lie. He hasn’t missed a session.
It’s a shame he’s our third best ruckman and there’s a chance he gets a game next season. Otherwise they would happily **** him off.
Well we have said with Butters, if he stays Melbourne is only an hour flight, so maybe big Soldo is thinking the same

Went to the training session this morning.

General impression, the players look fitter and more defined. Practice was sharp and fast moving, both on close in groups and length of the oval.

Moss is a unit. He was walking laps with JHF and he is huge and cut. Both were wearing weighted vests.

Soldo out there and moving well. Lukosius running laps, but no sling.

Stephenson looks like part of the gang.

Lord has put size on, was hitting the lead up ball hard.

Whitlock looks stronger no doubt, moves beautifully. Lorenz looks a different person.

Marshall training with the main group. Walsh running laps but has put on some muscle.

Most of the guys running/walking laps not far away from full training.

Stuey Dew can still kick an effortless goal around the body from distance.

Great review funny you saying about Dew, was watching a tape from the oldies game at docklands, yeah Stewy is a big unit but he let one go from around 60 and it went flying through.
Even as 46 and looking like a barrel he still kicks better than the average player.
Goes to show like I’ve always believed it’s a natural talent.
 
Are they doing any contact drills or match simulation yet? Would Marshall be involved in that?

I didn't stay for the whole session but the length of oval drill was mostly about ball movement and running to position. It was fast, sharp movement. They did close in handball drills moving the ball from congestion out to the open under pressure, and some 30-40m passing on the run to moving target drills. Marshall was involved in all those drills.

Because it was an open session with lots of kiddies, they held back on the violence of full contact ;)

He just picked up a loose ball, back to the goal, turned and snapped the ball on the turn straight over the head of the assistants standing in the goal square. Effortless.

Can't remember what happened to Walsh, did he have surgery post season? I know he missed a bit of footy last year, what was his injury again? Keen to see hi get a proper crack at it.

He went on the inactive list mid-season with a should reco. I don't know if it's that, I think from Pete's photos he's been doing laps before today. Looks in good nick at least.
 
I would love to know why Walsh seems to forever be running laps. Last year I don't think he joined full training until the season was underway either.
Yep can only hope the lack of detail and honesty from the past administration will change this year.
Always frustrating when they say a player will be out for a couple of weeks and it turns into much longer.
