I might miss some players as i was/am going to try do this off the top of my head.

Best 22

M.Williams - Keefe - N.J.Brown

Toovey - Frost - Langdon -

Sidebottom - Swan - Seedsman

Broomhead - Reid - Adams

Elliot - Cloke - Grundy

Witts - Greenwood - Pendlebury



I think the last 4 spots will be made up of B.Kennedy, J.Thomas, Blair, Fasolo, Scharanberg, Freeman, Varcoe

I think you guys will lean towards youth and probably the better players now in Kennedy, Freeman, Scharanberg types if they perform in NAB. Would like to see you give Kennedy a best 22 spot this year think he will really come on if hes doing the PS work. Seems you will have a very defensive back 50 again, think you guys miss Shaw, i initally had Seedsman off halfback for some run but couldnt leave any of the 3 small defendeers out.
Not a bad effort. Leaves White, Dwyer, Young, Sinclair, Karnezis, Oxley and Ramsay as depth, plus the possibly that some of Moore/De Goey/Maynard/Goodyear could come on quicker than expected.

That is an absolutely superb backhanded compliment you've delivered right there, well played.
Im just talking in general. Not trying to have a dick measuring comp.

I think you guys have unfortunatly lost a quality group of players in a short period of time and combatted with one of your best/most important players IMO Reid struggling to get out on the park.

I think you guys are going to hit a low spot this year before producing a very good group of kids That i think will be very good

I probably shouldve said from that 6-22 group it will be interesting to see how Greenwood, Swan go this year

dified training group is much slower. I'm going to be in Melbourne on Friday so I'm very annoyed my commitment is in the morning rather than the afternoon. I'd love to have a look at the tr
you get two seats to sit in for an extra head rest :)
The family membership only needs half the number of seats?

OK, so I didn't go to the session today but can reliably say:-

- A couple of the boys walked laps before heading back in after 50mins
- Some of the young blokes looking very sharp during the drills, they could be anything this year
- A few notable absentees, not sure if they were in rehab or undergoing life-threatening conditions
- About 7-8 Pies die-hards got some reasonable sunburn before heading back to the cafe
- Bucks still looks like he could put on the green vest

Photos to come...
