Hey guys I am new to all this but have been a reader for a while now, I believe the blues had their first training session this morning and I was wandering whether McLaren was training with us

Mclaren trained. He'll be our no 1 PSD pick for sure.
Denis Pagan pretty much confirmed it on SEN! Had McLaren over for dinner a few weeks back & indicated he will be at Carlton next year!

McLaren is suddenly a gun.

one hell of a very ordinary looking unit young Dylan.


hey look at it this way at least he can contest, half the time that is all we need from a ruckmen thats why I rate French because he can contest, unlike De Luca

Any chance that Bryan or DeLuca will be delisted to make room for another pick in the national draft or preseason draft?...e.g. Guerra, Gilham, Spandermann etc.

Deluca has just re-signed so are you volunteering to pay out his contract?

I'd rather have Bryan than Spaandermann who's a bum and Gilham isn't fit to wash Livo's car.

No. Deluca is rated highly by the coaching staff. Not sure why though. I dont see it myself at this stage.


Just got back from watching the training session and having a talk.

McLaren was there looks bigger than 196.

The main points

Lance is looking fit. Better than last year. Seems the message has finally sunk into him.

Fev looks even bigger. Sat out the run.

Walker looks great.

Setanta and Aisake have filled out.

Blackwell is bigger and a lot fitter than last year.

What's Prendergast's contract situation? With McClaren and Saddington coming in his position might be a little precarious.

Bannister, Prenda, Wiggo, Houla, Livo, Sporn all 1 year to run.
Not sure about Bryan.

Deluca has 2 years (signed not long ago)

Was Campo still waiting in the carpark? :p

Saddington looks fit and bigger than I thought. He is a novelty for us now a 193cms player who is actually 193cms.

Russell still looks very skinny.

Pretty sure Prenda was not there.

Maybe he has retired and this world class athlete is in training for the Commonwealth Games?

Not sure what it means. Pick 68 going to be used now and he going to be paid out? Or is he sitting out because of an operation. Did not see him with the other injured players either.

Good pics Cypher

Walker looks awesome......Fev has a pot, must be from his wedding celebrations.

Saddington looks great, hope he has a huge injury free year.

Lance looks buggered.

Perhaps we should enter Chambers in the Zatopek 10km rather than have him play for the bullants all year.

I don't see all the fuss over Deluca either...and surely with Mclaren coming into the side he will be playing the majority of games for the Bullants I would have thought.

Good to hear about Lance, any idea who won the time trail this year?
