Well, its my turn to do a training report 
Before I start, Id like to make clear that I will take absoloutely no responsibility whatsoever for anybody hurt or injured as a result of reading this report. I would also like to apologise for anything Ive missed. We had a lot of distractions and BT can confirm this
In typical BPP fashion, I rocked up late. But, luckilly training had only just started(well it looked like it, anyway). After dodging the odd syringe on the way in & seeing Daniel Bandy in the Whitten Oval Carpark(
), we finally met up with BT who introdued me to Madboy. It wasnt long after that Dees*gal turned up with a few of her friends. They did the 'girly' thing and parked themselves in front of the players and started abusing the crap out of them until Daniel "Breece" finally gave in and signed an autograph 
Training seemed fairly upbeat. The intesity was high(as you'd hope at this time of the year) and the players looked refreshed and ready to make up for a ****house 2001. They started off with a simple kicking drills then soon went back to the drill BT was trying to explain last week. I would go into it, but Id probably just confuse you all. Anyway, Danners was coaching again and Whitey, sporting a nice, big shin protector was doing the rucking against Jolly/Jamar. White was winning the majority of hitouts against Jolly but I think Jamar wouldve just about broke even. White looked good around the ground, taking marks and settinng up. Schwarta went topless from CHF(obviously to impress the chicks) and Nieta was the main forward. From the few shots at goal that he had, he looked alright. Hopefully his goalkicking %'s improve over last season and he can start having an impact on games again.
The most encouraging moment of the day was seeing Powell taking part in the full session. He moved freely and looks to have made a full recovery. Johnstone also looks to have recovered from his injury and didnt stop knocking up possessions. He still looks like he can do a bit of work on his kicking, though.
I noticed Vardy was again restricted to running the boundary. He came out with his boots, which was a good sign, then changed back into runners later on. Despite his drinking etc, he still looked reasonably fit and showed no signs of pain from the groin op. Bizzell was playing down back again and also slotted in fairly well.
Also noticed there were some absences from training. No sign of Dees01
, Daniel Ward, Peter Walsh, Guy Rigoni, A.McDonald, Nathan Brown and Brent Grgic(thank god).
I did see Russell Robertson sitting on the boundary with an ice-pack on the knee. Dont know how it happened. Sorry, Deesrule!!
Anyway, the players then finished off with a bit of goalkicking at the Barkly St. end and it was time for the real players to hit the field. I was actually suprised they let us on the ground. Unfortunately, BT & Madboy left early & missed my 85metre sausage roll from the boundary at the Geelong Rd end 
There, my first ever training report

Actually it would have been good to meet a few of you but I am sorry, I would find the training boring. That's just me.
