The boy's look in good condition for 2016, so exciting times ahead for the bomber's. Have a merry Christmas and a happy new year with care and remember to catch a taxi if partying to be safe. Chow

popin, cheers for those, much appreciated.

You are all welcome

Looks like some of the boys aren't getting along.

Or getting along really really well... [emoji41]

The grappling sessions on the beach looked good, I do Brazilian jiu-jitsu and it's real gut busting stuff that gives you a lot of functional strength.

Port's tackling improved out of sight when John Donohue was their tackling coach.

Hooker - "Hey Belcho nice ass"

 

[Kakkle]

Heading along to training on Wednesday, so hopefully I'll have a training report up!

 

[JDavey]

Anyone else concerned by how small Daniher looks? If you told me he's gone backwards in size from last year I wouldn't be shocked looking at those photos.

Also jesus christ: Goddard/Francis/Redman - seeing triple

For me Joey seems too much of the joker/laughter type. Not a competitor beast with killer instinct. I think he will be very good but not that elite superstar he has the talent and ability to be.

I wonder if JD is too tall to be a gun, has there been a player over 200cm who has really killed it up forward?

I do recall some fishy Essendon bloke who was before doing a knee.

Yeah, he was a good catch.

People thought similar things about Lloyd too....

I do recall a bloke of the aquatic flavour that was fairly handy....

Media: "Tension between Essendon players reach boiling point ahead of the verdict to be released by the Court of Arbitration for Sport in the upcoming month. A preseason routine took a turn for the worse as players started grasping at each other. Players were then send home early to cool the tension. The Essendon Football Club did not comment on the incident."

Here's a question.

When one grapples on the beach, how do you not end up with an eyeful of sand? Perish the thought...

Just one example isn't terribly reassuring.

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Just one example isn't terribly reassuring.

Well I guess you'll have to remain doubtful.

 

[Old Campaigner]

Well I guess you'll have to remain doubtful.

For a few more years at least until JD shows us what he's got one way or another. I just feel that the most damaging forwards in the game are the slightly shorter and more agile blokes like Roughead or Cameron, the beanpoles and gorillas seem to be a bit one dimensional. I'm happy to be proved wrong of course.

Unless photo above is deceptive...Parrish really isn't that far away in terms of body shape and size

He's 75kg or something, he's pretty far off unless Dank's fridge still hasn't been emptied.

Just one example isn't terribly reassuring.

Kurt Tippett 203cm
Josh Jenkins 200cm
Mitch Clark 200cm
Brad Ottens 202cm
David Hale 201cm
Tyrone Vickery 200cm
Brendon Lade 200cm
Jason Ball 201cm

All have been pretty handy when played as key forwards.

His biceps look stronger than Francis' do which is surprising.
