How’s the Talking Dockers pod during the season? I’ve never listened. Anyone recommend other Dockers podcasts for us fans not in Aus?

The purple reign guys are definitely worth a listen. I’ve not listened to the talking dockers one, but I’ll give it a shot.

When the smell gets progressively worse, the longer you stay in a room, usually a bedroom, throughout the night, with my wife.

[emoji848] huh??
Are you saying your wife smells?

Is Dillon o'reilly training with the dockers?

 

[JammoMonty]

He was in good form at Habitat last night. Solid effort

 

[Superkoops]

Is Dillon o'reilly training with the dockers?

No idea - a training watcher could confirm. If he is I wonder if it is to get him involved and have a close look at him for mid-season draft or 2019 ND. Do we need to seek AFL approval like Richmond did with Sydney Stack?

“I’m an eternal optimist but you’ve got no measuring stick at this stage of the pre-season.
“You might have a session like today where you move the ball really well and everyone feels great about themselves and you think that you’ll be hard to get beaten.
“But until we come up against an opposition side, we won’t really know where we’re sitting in the pecking order, but we’re always optimistic.”

I wouldn't have thought so.

Training looked pretty intense in the few snippets on the news. Praying for a report [emoji3][emoji3]

The Purple Reign podcast is not bad. The guys are quite funny and don’t take their analysis too seriously which can be a good and bad thing depending on what you’re after.

They’re ok. I just want a live call on all our games where the broadcasters are parochial, hardcore Freo rusted-ons from the Producer right through to the line gopher. I want every call to be “Oh that was a blatant push in the back by Hurn there. No free kick to Taberner? Hmmm no surprises there. Ball spills out to Ballantyne. Ooh he kicks it into Masten’s face, ball bounces back to him and he kicks the easiest of goals. Well Masten really had his ugly head in the wrong place there. Maybe he should get a few more tough stickers...hack...Anyway back to the centre for the re-start.”

I want that.

Reads like you may have found your niche.

Do the guys that do the podcast call the games as well? I’d pay go money for a commentary team that doesn’t make me want to throw the remote at the screen.

I listened to purple reign all last year but They don’t do games. We’ll all have to wait for Dockernut to set up his streaming pod with live Freo-centric game commentary. Can’t wait. [emoji13]

Travis King's training report from afl.com.au.

The Dockers were put through their paces for nearly three hours as temperatures hovered around 30 degrees at Cockburn on Monday, finishing the session with full-ground match simulation.

The 15-a-side work appeared to be a mainly 'probables v possibles' hitout, staged over 10-minute halves.

Former Richmond utility Reece Conca slotted into an apparent first-choice defensive unit and offered plenty of rebound alongside Luke Ryan and Nathan Wilson, with Alex Pearce and Griffin Logue manning key posts.

Matt Taberner worked hard up the ground and was strong in the air in a forward setup featuring Rory Lobb, Hayden Ballantyne, Brandon Matera and Cam McCarthy.

On the sidelines, boom recruit Hogan continued individual skills, running and repeat-effort work in his comeback from a navicular stress fracture.

"Jesse's going good. He's started being drip-fed into drills in the last couple of days and he will look to be in full training in the coming weeks," Fyfe said.

Michael Walters (knee), David Mundy, Shane Kersten, draftee Sam Sturt, Harley Bennell and Darcy Tucker (foot) were others on modified duties, while veteran ruckman Aaron Sandilands was unsighted late in the session.

Senior coach Ross Lyon oversaw the match simulation, at one point stopping the action to position players from a kick-in and call for "more leadership" from those on the field.

Fyfe, sporting a sleeve bandage on his right arm to protect an inflamed bursa, slammed a behind post in frustration shortly after when Brennan Cox, playing in attack for the 'possibles', found space behind the defence.

Cox marked uncontested next to the goalsquare, and Fyfe took time to instruct the backmen where the breakdown occurred.

For the 'possibles', mature draftee Brett Bewley held his own in a tussle with Bradley Hill on a wing, and continues to push his case for an early-season debut.

Bailey Banfield used the ball well in blustery conditions and Swan Districts product Tobe Watson looked anything but out of place across half-back.

Some good detail in that report and enjoyed him including comments about some of the lesser lights, especially Banfield, Bewley and Watson.

 

[wild side]

Tobe Watson is a smoky, bit like Banfield last year

I’ve seen him at training and a few are in front of him for a spot, in defence.

I'm sure, but he'll be hungry

 

[Righteo]

So Conca will slot straight into the backline by the sounds of it...

The rest sounded pretty promising though, seems like we've nailed our mature agers again with Bewley and Watson

I think there will be a few rolling through there. Blakely, SHill, Conca and Cerra. Pretty much as happened in previous years.

Duman, Hughes and Nyhuis will be hungry too. Carter also needs a feed.

Watson is a bit of tweener isn't he?
