Powell looks bigger and fit

[Pagans Paddock99]

Powell looks bigger and fit

Probably the most noticeable out of the group… Looks a lot bigger and fitter. No longer looks like a 14 yo playing against men.

TT also looking trim and fit.

Edwards still looks like Kramer though

Watched the boys train today. Not a dry eye in the house, let me tell you. The breeze picked up a little just before I left & I noticed the boys were kicking a lot further with the wind, than into it, which is a good sign.
Noticed a few of the boys had their knees and shoulders strapped which I'm a big fan of. I've got a bit of a dicky left knee, so I'll actually strap it up if I suspect there may be some action between the sheets pending.

You just can't be too careful. I used to whack on SPF15+ before hopping in the solarium. Something I still do to this day. And you wanna know how many times I've been burnt? Zero. Never.

How do you copy and paste these photos from the gallery Psicosis? Can’t seem to work it out.


My personal fave photo is no.53 where Clarko looks like he’s just realised the magnitude of the job ahead of him haha. Absolute classic.

FOUR TAKEAWAYS FROM NORTH MELBOURNE TRAINING

1. NEW FACES Alastair Clarkson launched into his first session on the track as North Melbourne coach as the club’s first to fourth-year players returned for the official start of pre-season training. Decked in shorts, long sleeves and a blue Kangaroos cap, the four-time Hawks’ premiership coach had the whistle around his neck and was expressive on the field, revving up the players with a few claps after some drills.

was another to make an early appearance at training, but he just ran laps of the Arden St ground for the session. But the Kangaroos said there was no injury concern and Davies-Uniacke was just easing into the start of pre-season. Will Phillips continues to make progress after battling bouts of glandular fever during the year, but remains on a modified program as he slowly builds up his training loads.

No Cunners, Corr, McDonald, Jy, Larkey, Zurhaar, Hall, Goldy, Logue, Tucker and CCJ.

No Spicer either.

That’s the one haha.

Yeah also the look on Blakey's face, can imagine al clarko saying, " so you've been involved in the skills training"?

Yeah can’t help but think that Blakes is looking a little bit sheepish there.

 

[Ether]

He's shorter than I expected.

He's between X, Edwards and Sleevo. That will tend to make you look short.

 

[susurrar]

jacko winning the time trial. i didnt see that coming. huge effort to beat scott and bergman who are very high level runners.

 

[4cunningTonneTruck]
