Jon Griffin. Why on earth is he being persisted with as he will never put on enough weight to ruck at AFL level.

Chris Knights. Looks to have bulked up and ready for a crack in the midfield.

Thanks for that Drummond.

Good pics Drummond, but for some reason I get no pic for Nick Gill or Meesen v Hudson.

Is that just me?? Can others get those 2 pics??

Yes, I get them both fine.

I had to open those in IE instead of firefox - maybe that will help.

I think it will be great for them to see how he pro athletes train. Will help them work together too.

I got all the pics to come up ok in Firefox macca 23

Thanks for the pics Drummond, I thought Griffen still needed to put on a bit more weight. I saw the players train at Strathalbyn when they were here on camp, overall they looked great to me for the time of year.

 

[kimirocks]

Looks like I'll go down the week after next then

 

[Dandy_GO]

I went along yesterday morning for about an hour and a half. Can't say I have much to add that hasn't already been said in previous training reports this week, but I would like to reiterate that Welsh looks awful. Not only did he look awful, but he really seemed to be slacking off. Johncock also didn't look too flash. No chance he'll make it into the midfield this year.
Sellar was VERY impressive. For a 17 year old he's huge! Makes me feel ashamed of my complete lack of muscle tone.
Mackay impressed me too. He and Douglas stood out in the midfield drills.
Archard can't kick for crap.
Of the ruckmen, I have to say Meesen impressed me the most. All of them were good, although Griffin does still look like he has a long way to go, but Meesen was definately the standout from what I saw, which came as a surprise.
Steveo is as skinny as he was last year, but we all expected that I guess.
Jericho was okay, but he's definately a reciever. In the midfield drills he wasn't going in for the hard ball or anything. I suppose we'd want him playing to his strengths, which would make him the ideal reciever, but I was hoping I'd see at least a little evidence that he'd toughened up a bit, as that's his obvious weakness.
Chris Knights returned my thumbs up

Reilly still hasnt bulked up at all

 

[Dandy_GO]

Reilly still hasnt bulked up at all

That's just a bad photo I'd say. He looked very very solid yesterday.

Reilly still hasnt bulked up at all

I think he has....

 

[Dandy_GO]

I think he has....

 

[Eggzoi]

Reilly still hasnt bulked up at all

If you think Reilly is under desired AFL size you need your head checked, he was fine last year. At games I sometimes got him confused with Goodwin because their bodies are so similar in size.

 

[maccas_no1]

Thats a better angle he looks more solid there, still not a fan of him though

 

[macca23]

Thats a better angle he looks more solid there, still not a fan of him though

Patience Marty, patience!!

Remember you used to say that Burton reminded you of a wild donkey!!

 

[The Crows Truth]

Thats a better angle he looks more solid there, still not a fan of him though

thats tough imo old son. he showed significant improvement last year. another step up this year and we will have a fine midfielder on our hands for the next 7-8 yrs
