Speaks really well. Really impressive.

Interesting comments about the heat. If the attitude is to embrace it rather than shy away from it that can only be a good thing in my view.

Can't help but think that spending 4 or 5 months every year training in these conditions makes a big difference when you have, say, a tenuous 2 goal lead halfway through the last quarter of a Preliminary Final against a well-rested opponent. Or maybe you're neck and neck in a Grand Final well into time on third quarter.

Been watching this thread like a hawk for any news, someone needs to go to training and assure us everyone is recording personal bests, and showing great hunger! Can't believe we're still stuck in the cricket season :(

I hope to get out to one or two of the intra clubs when they start up. So maybe will be able to provide some useful updates! But probably won't be heading out before then.

Waiting for someone to get out and see training. Doubt I'll make it out this year 😔

In the absence of any report a few I'm looking forward to hearing about - Gallop, Marshall, and Levi have SO much development to go. Morris obviously too.

The trajectory of Jasp, Motty, Wash, Motty and Morris is insane already - what's next?

And there's always a surprise - Will McLachlan?

Or Kai or Kiddy back from injury?

Plus this year's draftees and recruits obviously.

So much to look forward to. If you forced me in to one it'd be Wash - his kicking and defensive intent went next level 2nd half of last year. He could go from very good to AA/elite.
 
Snippet from a Fagan interview yesterday…Draper and Allen have surprised him in that they are both on only slightly modified training and all going well are projected to play 1 or 2 practice games and be available for round 1..nothing came up about others
 
Looks like Cam, Oscar Allen, Sam Draper and Logan Morris were really enjoying themselves at the cricket

Article and audio on Fagan interview


Got to love the last part when he says:

“We’ve been there in the finals for the last seven years in a row; we would like to do it again."

“And hopefully we can get to the end of this decade and say that we’ve been the best team this decade.”


He's actually found a way past seeing the next flag as a goal and raised the bar to best in a decade, Fages is priceless.

Who is that in the middle, sun glasses, big smile?


..ok, just saw GFlip's name up top ....is it her, I now see that it could well be.

I didn't say so, so as not to be offending one of our players, that he looks very girly but I did think it looked more like a girl than one of the boys:gigglev1:
