As bad as our on-field performance is this year the open-training DJ blaring out the Spice Girls all morning is worse.

**** me, make it stop.
Absolutely!!! I was there today, the trick is to take a set of headphones to cancel out the ****ing spice girls!!!

You were spot on in your earlier post - no Voss, Cripps, Docherty, Jagga, Cottrell, Elijah and Kemp.

Just a few other points/observations without going into any great depth cos it aint preseason, just an open session designed for public consumption.

- JSOS and Cow out there early to do some light work. Both looked to be moving okay. Big H came out not long after - did the drills but not the match sim. Left the ground early, but no signs of injury - no idea, but hopefully nothing to worry about.

- Newy was moving freely (sorry Jim). Joined in the drills but wore the yellow cap. Haynes also wearing a yellow cap so may have a little niggle.

- I hate to say it, but our basic kicking skills are awful. They were doing one on one kicking during the warmups of about 25-30 metres - it was fairly casual, but there were way too many balls hitting the ground. I also don't care what the stats say, B.Campo's kicking is terrible - missing 25m passes under no pressure to a stationery target. Still reckon the kid will be a ripper, but badly needs to work on that part of his game. The good news is that the kicking efficiency overall seemed to improve during match sim.

- better news for Jim, I thought Billy looked great - clean hands and his disposal really stood out. Reckon we may see a debut at some stage soon - god knows we need the run. I also liked Charleson across half back during match sim - looks lively.

- our new boy Flynn didn't look out of place at all. I reckon we may need to be a little patient before he gets his chance, but his kicking was sublime, didn't miss a target. Not a lot of him, but looking forward to seeing him initially with the VFL boys and hopefully getting a call up at some stage.

LOL it's fine, just don't be surprised if we have another player made inactive over the next month.

Lots to figure out with how to play all these defenders...
