Lindsay looks ******* great.

Thought exactly the same thing.

Such a talented footballer. With such an abundance of small forwards, wouldn't mind seeing his role experimented with.

Liked seeing him come off the back of the square last year.

EDIT: Abundance, not dearth!

How weird is it seeing a new #8 after fourteen years?

True.

BBB seems to be training here

 

[Heaps of fun]

True.

BBB seems to be training here

He did the full session I watched on Tuesday too apart from the running that followed but there was only about 24 players in that group.

Lindsay looks fantastic. Has never looked in the best of shape but seems to have really sunk his teeth into a training program over the holidays.

 

[Kanga Glory]

Have a look a bbb's leg muscles. Been doing a lot of running by the looks of it.

Lindsay is such a beautiful field kick. Would be great to see him up the ground on occasions

I'm not sure dearth means what you think it does.

I've always found it weird that Boomer doesn't wear the yellow coaches top.

He's like a kid who won't take their jumper off at bed time. Good on the young fella.

its obvious that Thomas sees himself as an one of the older heads there now.....When Boomer, Petrie and Firrito leave the club somebody has to take over the slack/ responsibility.

Hahaha jesus. I'd had a pretty solid afternoon session by 4pm.

Let's blame that.

 

[Flawed Genius]

Any training next Friday? Got the day off work so I might head down.

Holy s**t, Thomas looks incredible. Would love to see him playing through the midfield. If he could get 20+ touches a game a lot of stuff would happen with his field kicking!!

Even if he could manage 5 minutes a quarter in the guts as an impact player it would be pretty awesome.

On a side subject, could that improve his kicking? I'm just wondering about the ramifications there.

If he got more touches up the ground I think his confidence in front of goal would improve

So stoked to see LT in such great nick - he's always worked bloody hard at improving aspects of his game and now that he's one of the senior guys perhaps he's decided to set more of an example in terms of fitness etc. Would be totally in character. Bleeds blue and white.

Why did it take 10 years for him get his fitness right?

Not saying he was unfit before - just speculating that in becoming fitter than he's ever been (and we can only make a semi-educated guess at that really - this whole sub-discussion is based off one photo, which says something about this board but I digress) he may well be taking it upon himself to set an example for the younger players, as a senior player should.

Of course Lindsay has had his issues in the past, one of which may have been fitness, but when you look at where he's come from and what he's been through the strength of character he's shown to get to where he is today speaks volumes. He's a really genuine human being I reckon - he encompasses both the messiness of mistakes and the messiness of sublime creativity that is kinda the essence of humanity - and he's defiantly who he is in all his ragged glory.
And as true a shinboner as they come.
But also yes, before I write a ****en poem about him - good that he is looking really fit, perhaps he could have been fitter before.

He's also had a couple of years of shitty feet and lower leg problems. He still walks like he's 70 years old and just got out of bed, but those foot/leg troubles haven't helped him getting in top nick.

I don't like paying out on assistants as it's so difficult to judge their ability from the outside, but picking up any assistant who was under Malthouse at Carlton is highly questionable.
