went down and saw the boys today. it was alot more contested work compared to the previous few sessions. there isnt a whole lot to add to my previous reports (on EFH) but perhaps most importantly it seems i caught a glimpse of the new playing jumpers!
im not certain this will be right but every player had a jumper on and all the other players had their correct numbers.
24: Matt Rosa
12: Mitch Morton
19: Mark LeCras
34: Ben Sharp
36: Ash Thornton
42: Beau Wilkes.
smith and stinger didnt have numbers on their jumpers. i didnt see any established players have different numbers (like staker still 41), i think that may yet happen.
here are some short notes but as i said not i cant add much to what i have already said on EFH.
* the recently beefed up Sammy Butler didnt take part in any contested work. he did skills and ran some pretty intense 400m sprints. not sure if he was injured to just having a light session.
* Brad Smith just did light ball work. no contested play or sprints.
* Phil and Wirra did light work. Wirra had a knee brace which i hadnt seen before. i think that may be a ploy to statisfy those who wanted him to play in the aboriginal all star game. but he did all the contested work including a practice match.
* on a good point it seems adam selwood has joined the main group from his OP.
* Doogs was a no show along with gasper. both probably doing rehab.
* Gardy was moving very well. doesnt look anydifferent to his movement pre-knee injury.
* players who impressed me were; hunter, dmac and b.jones. and to a lesser extent sharp. he looks a likely type one problem which i noticed was that he would get the ball and run forward 10m but as an opponent approached he would back back. he did that alot to buy himself some time. not a huge issue but will need to be rectified because u cannot do that on a consisant basis in the afl.
* ash hansen was playing key back in the praccy. not sure it means anything but it was interesting.
if u have any questions on specific players just ask. as i said not much has changed from when i went 2 weeks ago.
(will add this to EFH when up and running)

He was very persistant about that for at least 6 months. Oh well, maybe next time Streaker! Next time you might get lucky.
