O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!

The Fremantle Herald today has a picture of Andrew Foster and Scott Thornton taking part in a skills session with an assistant just this week.

Make sure you give the less fortunate amongst us a nice and comprehensive match report hey? I'm counting on you IP. No pressure or anything though.

Good news about Foster btw. Not sure how good the news is though - even my arthritic Grandma can do handball drills.

Does that mean he has slain the Jabberwocky? And who or what might that be?

Went past Freo Oval yesterday. Only two guys on the track. One was Luke McPharlin doing some running with Marshall Stockden (physio), which suggests he might have some sort of injury. He then went into the gym and from what I could see through the doors was doing some exercises on one of those boards that has half a ball underneath, where you have to try and balance. Sounds like it could be foot / ankle - but he seemed to be running failrly freely so hopefully nothing too bad there.

Also - Andrew Foster!!! He was running (almost sprinting) laps. He didn't appear to be in any obvious discomfort, and was running a lap, stretching a bit, then running again. He must've done about 4-5 laps while I was there - so hopefully he hasn;t lost too much on his fitness and endurance...

After McPharlin went inside, the physio started working with Fossie - he was doing shorter, sharper runs, as well as lots of knee lifts, and those hop-skippety things they do lifting his knees up to different heights as he was going.


It's looking much better for my buddy for 2008.

Excellent news.

I was under the impression the main squad wasn't training until Thursday.

Not sure...

but I did mention that:

Only two guys on the track.

I did see Blackie and Connelly walking out of the gym briefly, but didn't see anyone else (although it's likely there were more in the gym).

The problem was mentioned in the paper a few days ago. Hamstring soreness??
