Our final training session of the week, and a few "tidbits" are floating through already, I'm sure Brian will give us pics later on also.

Shaw, Wood, Ball, Toovey, Brown and Thomas doing some extra work with VFL coach Tarkyn Lockyer before senior training. None playing this wk.

Senior team just arriving on track. Tarrant doing warm up. Didak trained earlier with VFL team and senior guys not playing v Crows

Wonder which Thomas though, I'm assuming Dale, not Josh.

Anyway, good to hear Wood and Nate are training.

My one wish for this season is to see josh Thomas play 3 or more senior games. Since watching his highlight video after he was drafted i instantly thought we had a player. This was compounded by avid VFL watchers claiming he was excellent around stoppages, with a nice kick and pace to burn. This is what we have a shortage of in our team.

I think it would be a real loss for us if he got injured again. Similar to two other players in Rusling & Dick - who would be in our best 22 right now. We can't keep paying someone $100k a year to take a list spot while sitting in the hospital.

Fingers crossed.

Still nothing on Beams I see.

Still nothing on Beams I see.

Beams for everyone out there who needs to know is overcoming slight OP.

He will be eased in after overcoming his groin problem.

A friend of mine went to the family day saw him there signing autographs but wasn't moving very freely.

I think he has to overcome his OP with rest apparently.I have been told that only rest without a lot rigorous movement can help heal things fully.

Beams has participated in the pre season the Pies are making sure he recovers fully before he is back in the side.I reckon about round 2 or 3.

Nope, Beams has shin soreness:

I think the positive from training from the sounds of it is Didak training with the VFL squad. It'd be nice to see him play next week and be subbed off/start as a sub.

Anyone know?

The initial time and date was the 18th of March at 11am.

Whether that's changed I don't know though.

I'd be more looking forward to our last senior hitout next week then the VFL, it's guaranteed to be somewhere in Victoria, and we will have to give the likes of Taz, Dids, Nate, Beams etc a run at that intensity to have them anywhere near right for round one.

Anyone who makes their debut in the VFL next week won't play seniors round one you would think.
