Ole Crumpets spends so much time at the Weags training that he relies on third hand info or bigfooty for his dockers intel. With the Weags still off and him not on 6PR much these days he has too much spare time.

I'm not getting carried away with Deluca. But his transformation over the last 5 months has been big. Yes he was always a good runner and quick but it appears he is still managing to improve his distance times and his skills have improved significantly. What impressed me is that when moved to a run with role over the last third of the WAFL season and finals he actually picked up his disposal numbers (he did beat some handy players). I was one that wrote him off as delist material around mid AFL season. All I had seen to that point was endless scrubber kicks from a bloke running around like a headless chook. But he has improved big time and is having a good PS.

Reckon he was there all of 6 minutes, scribbled something in his notebook and left.

What do you reckon he wrote? "Nic Nat not training today, got bored so left"
I reckon he wrote "Cam McCarthy drops mark from a Nat Fyfe kick. Further evidence that the playing group hates Nat Fyfe."

I reckon he gave himself such a hand he had to have a lie down as he believes he is onto a sure thing with his second big scoop following Sam Mitchell. That is this cracked bone thing for Zac Clarke and that he will be out for weeks into the season.

Probably some 17 year old training with us for a few weeks over pre season to get a taste of AFL. He'll probably be a pretty good player and get drafted to another club next year. Anyone know if that academy kid from our zone is training with the club now?

Thanks for the training reports, training reporters. Great to hear Ape back with the main group, I think our forward line could actually resemble something of a functional forward line this year!!! Now's the time to start to get excited as a supporter base. Our squad are coming into the period where they've had a few preseasons under their belts, played 20 - 50 games and are coming into their prime, next will be consistency. The best part is they're around the same age (development wise) and hopefully can bring us success for the next 5 - 8 years.
