Ok Ok...... 
Smith was extremely lively today and fared well in the run also.
Looked anything but lazy and was encouraged by others whilst doing some of his own encouraging. Looked happy.

We have been doing the same shit for far too long, with this half arsed approach. Not to knock whats his face ......barker. But this is where malthouse failed. It wasn't a serious tilt for him, it wasn't serious because he wasn't new etc etc etc. Baker and Bolts have and had to prove themselves which will challenge the group. Same with Ratten fwiw. Malthouse was in the exact position Buckley was in at 2011 - riding on the back of a decent team. malthouse did the same in 2013. We need to train the squibby skirtness out of them. Rain, hail, cold, frost - who cares you perform. Which has always shit me to tears in the past watching them. Except Kade.
I look at the bulldogs and what they achieved in a year. Not to say we can as well, but if they can rise so much with a lot of no name off cuts, then personally I can kinda see us do it too. 2012 was an injury year from hell but 2015 was far worse. But we have not use it as an excuse.

You've hit the nail on the head, Our club has been "she'll be right" for way too long, about time someone came in and just said hold on, this is filth, Bolton has bought in that Hawks like mentality, If you're half arsed you'll be shown the door, This needed to happen, instead of always hearing "how fit we are" and barely could run out 3 and a half quarters, absolute shamble, just hope Bolts can pick the energy and professionalism that's needed and judging by what he has done today, He is sending that statement to us the fans and members.

Was Liam Jones there training the house down?
To play devils advocate, the sports fitness people would have a huge say in how long players can train at what stage of the season. Doesn't excuse Malthouse because he was the coach and picked his staff, but it doesn't boil down to one person.
....exploding feast.

Not that interesting but the players were doing what looked like a beep test in 3 separate groups (that I saw). Kerridge was last standing in the first group, followed by Curnow and then Buckley. Gibbs and Cripps were also in this group, only caught the end so dunno know who else dropped out. They were cheering Kerridge for every leg he completed towards the end.
2nd group Everitt was last remaining, Simpson was 2nd (Touhy, Dvr, Graham, Gorringe also in this group from memory).
Third group was Jamo, Rowe, Thomas, Smith, Phillips, Jones, and Lamb I think. Jamo won this group.
(I've only listed the names I remember, definitely missed a few).
Afterwards saw some training drills, didn't know what was happening but Byrne seems to glide over the oval, can't wait to see him in action.

Agree 100% with this! Thought to myself today that if I had no idea of who the players were, I would absolutely believe it if someone told me Byrne was the best player on the team.

Just one of the reasons to be excited. Both Byrne and Sheehan displayed more than enough to show they have what it takes to make it at AFL level.
The rest is up to them and their will to succeed. They have the tools, if they really want it we have two absolute rippers on our hands.
The wind made it ridiculously hot. I retreated inside after an hour & a half & missed most of what Harks has described in his post. A few more sessions like this will really test the mettle of the players.
