Thanks for the report Noel...I was there today and loved it...
Some observations of mine...You may be excused in thinking that after a big premiership winning back 2 back campaign, maybe a few players carrying a bit, a tad 'not switced on' or some coming back from injury..?
No way..the players looked great,lean,fit,enthusiastic & hungry.Mitch was leading the way as always..the younger group looked so hungry it was inspiring..
in the end to end drill Hilly just wanted the pill all the time and his enthusiasm never waned.His kicking was also sublime..Langers has bulked up more and will only get better and Hartung was everywhere.Loved seeing Whitecross out there, he looks great and chompin at the bit..two of our new recruits were used a fair bit in this drill,Daniel Howe will surprise this year while Jared Haristy will not struggle getting the ball but will need to improve his disposal before he gets a go..If I had 1 negative it would be Schoenmakers...sorry to say..but while he looks a million dollars he plays well below that..his kicking and at times the way he reacts to the play is wanting......Go Hawkerz...
