After the way last season ended I have avoided the AFL like a plague, couldn't even play my new copy of AFL it put me off that much.

I have just returned from my honeymoon to catch the first game and thought there were lots of goods signs. Starting to get the footy fever.

Im usually on here every day over the break. Therefore I literally don't know anything since Bomber taking over.

Can someone fill me in on the useful details?

Hows training going?

Fitness across the team?

Positional changes?

Chappy?

Joey?

What praccy's/intra clubs occurred and how did they go?

We have an expected best 22 at this point?

How are the players looking fitness and size wise?

Are we set to possibly do some damage and have a crack this year?

Anything else of note?

Appreciate the update...

Cheers

(Mods, sorry if this breaks any rule but I don't know the rules. Happy for you to move if needed)

Pretty good by all accounts. A lot of players are having just their first or second uninterrupted preseason.
Fitness across the team?
Bellchambers and Browne are the only two major injuries at the moment. Heppell had a back spasm that kept him out for a week, and I think Dempsey had to start a bit later due to his hamstring but other than that they're all looking pretty good.
Positional changes?
Carlisle, Hardingham forward, Hurley back. Zaka to get more midfield time.
Chappy?
The players love having him around and his experience has been really useful in getting our forward-line some semblance of functionality.
Joey?
15kgs heavier than when we drafted him I think. Played pretty well against GCS, but needs a fair bit more endurance before he becomes a consistent player. Will show glimpses this season though.
What praccy's/intra clubs occurred and how did they go?
NFI
We have an expected best 22 at this point?
Probably, I have no idea what it is though
How are the players looking fitness and size wise?
I think someone mentioned that a few of them have shed some weight, which makes sense as the rule changes and natural evolution on the game are putting more emphasis on fitness and endurance.
Are we set to possibly do some damage and have a crack this year?
Yes, although it could be a tough start to the season.
Anything else of note?
Nope

Daniher is huge, Carlisle and Hurley have swapped, TBC out until at least Rd 5 which will be his best case VFL return, Browne out for the season. Plenty of optimism around the club, expect big things.
