Looks like Read beat Touk in the 2km.

I don't know how to link the facebook video's sorry. Might have been Gulbin 3rd and Anderson 4th.

Read is going to be such a weapon.

Confirmed. 2026 is unicorn szn

GOLD COAST​

Teammates have pumped up new face Jamarra Ugle-Hagan’s work ethic as he settles into his second club, having appeared at multiple optional running sessions in a bid to make the best out of his second chance at AFL level.

I was skeptical of us signing him, but that's encouraging. Hopefully the lightbulb has lit up for JUH.

Seems to be settled. Out of the spotlight. Reunited with his ex

Hoping something will pop up on the usual off-site pages if no one from here can get down.

Hopefully most people will see this but a friendly PSA to start off the week.

Pre-Season match thread will go up roughly a week prior to that game with the Opening Round match thread scheduled to go up during the pre-season game.

Happy to listen to advocation for them going up earlier but thats kind of what this thread is for anyway.

Cheers.

From reading across the club boards, most clubs seem to do sessions Mon-Wed-Fri, with Wednesday often a ligher one. Start time might vary depending on how hot it's going to be?

Jen2310 is the expert on this.

I'd around 9am? Thats usually when most clubs do them

"I've never seen first-year players be so committed when they come to the club," Jeffrey said.

"They're tracking very well. It takes a bit to get the game plan, but I feel they've clicked onto it straight away, and they're absolutely flying at training.

"Uwland and Patterson have amazing talents. I reckon (they'll play in Round 1). It'll be tough, but I reckon Uwland will give it a red-hot crack in Round 1.

"Patterson has competition between Daniel (Rioli) and (John) Noble across the halfback line, so it might take him a bit."

"He wasn't in very good physical condition": Gold Coast Sun details Ugle-Hagan's dramatic turnaround

The former Pick 1 received a second chance in the AFL, and by all reports, he has taken it with both hands.

I could possibly take a risk and have a look Friday at 9am. What do you think Jen?

I reckon that would be good. Generally fridays would be a good session.

[GC2015]

Is this the first time someone in the footy media has legitimately picked us to win the flag?

 

[Jen2310]

Looks like training today, so.. what Monday, Tuesday, Thurs? What do they do fridays? lol
Unless this is a one off week.

Very good point there. Seems to be the reason.
Best not Bods go to training..
Would be helpful if the training times were on the website.
