[Sin City]

Went down to princes park for training this morning.

The boys were looking very sharp. Kicking was very accurate in the drills and there was a lot of intensity and talking.

Standout for me was Warnock. For a 206cm guy, he was certainly moving very well. Covered a lot of ground, took the ball very cleanly and has a nice kick for goal. He is also incredibly good at ground level for someone of his size. Should be a big year for him.

Hendo was looking very good and even stuck around at the end for some goalkicking practice. Would not be surprised at all if he's ready to go for round 1. Juddy also looked 100% to me.

Eddie Betts was very hard at the ball and Waite also looked very focused.

Matthew Watson makes me scared. His parents must have fed him growth hormone.

Hoops and Yarran ran laps - not sure if yarran has picked up a niggle?

Thanks for the report mate

Did he join in any main group training?
Last time I was at the ground, he did some stationary drills, but still looked very fit.

Definitely took part in some of the main group training, possibly all of it. Didn't have my eye on him the whole time, but I did see him participating in one of the main drills.

I also forgot to mention that Thornton did a fair bit of goalkicking during training. Makes me wonder whether they'll try him up forward again this year. He'll certainly struggle to get in to the back line this year, so I guess it makes sense.

Henderson is the opposite of Gumbleton who still has muppet arms.

Great to have some genuine size on the list for the first time since 1995.

Obviously there instead of the number the players have. ..

Quite like the training shirts with the numbers on them. ..

Henderson has developed his upper body strength nicely. I just hope he has developed his lower body. TBH, he has skinny legs slightly out of proportion of his upper body...well he did last year.

Really needs to develop this part of his body to hold his ground when required.

I think that we are seeing the end result of having Cordy around as our high performance trainer. Damn but the boys are building up very nicely.

I think that this year we will be definitely working on getting rid of the "soft" tag.

It's a soccer thing they've adopted.
