Highly doubt he'd be running if he'd done it again.

That's what I was hoping

How is Wardlaw moving KR? A mate told me today he'd done the hammy again, but it's prob just a rumour

He was doing some light run throughs and basic skills. Didn’t appear to have any hamstring issues from what I could see

He was running with one of the fitness guys last Friday and I overheard a little of their conversation. The fitness bloke said something like “awareness is fine “…I assumed that they were talking hamstrings. However they kept on running. It was steady and at a decent clip, but no sharp sprinting.

Maybe you can manage something like that by being controlled?

Wardlaw: So what about spacial contextual awareness?

Fitness Bloke: Spatial contextual… (runs past Passmore) awareness is fine…

Wardlaw: It can describe present context right?

Fitness Bloke: Yeah, the environment of the user at the present time and location.

Wardlaw: Or that of a future context where the user wants to go…

Fitness Bloke: And what may be of interest to them in the approaching spatial environment.

(They catch up to Jaiydn Stephenson)

Stevo: What are you guys talking about?

Wardlaw / Fitness Bloke: Hamstrings.

Powell isn't leaving any stone unturned, love to see it.

 

[benbanjo]

Keep Stevo away from the bikes.

Powell isn't leaving any stone unturned, love to see it.

The difference in he vs JHF really does fuel the good family (dare I say it) private school recruiting narrative.

On one hand you've got a kid who has embraced moving to Melbourne, studying & working in a part time capacity at one of the big four. On the other hand you've got JHF.

I need some clarification.

Are you saying that JHF went home because he wasn’t private schooled & Powell isn’t ‘leaving any stone unturned’ because he was?
Orrrr… was it due to one family begging awesome & one being shit?

Multiplied by a different mindset, and then magnified. Chuck in an o/d of figjam for whatshisface as well. Tommy Powell is just better in anycase

Sounds promising

One saw the opportunity of moving to Melbourne (not just from a football perspective), one didn't. At 18 years of age, this outlook is largely driven by values from your family & upbringing IMO.

My point is really that I wouldn't hesitate taking an SA local with an early pick in future (Moir as an example could be right around one of our early picks), but they need to have the right character outside of football. Some would argue this is largely to do with their upbringing.

What’s great about this is they’re all having fun. Laughing and smiling. Doing this really good team bonding experience where everyone is going to go there and work through obstacles - just fantastic as a team to do in the off-season…… But I don’t think any of these guys are gonna be prepared for the side of Clarkson when we’re 25 points down by quarter time in the first game of the season and Zuurhar needs a rocket to get going.

 

[shinboner magic]

Powell needs decent mid minutes this year
Cunners , Jy and Powell to share two spots
LDU to take other spot with Phillips as support

 

[Shinboner1]

I ****ing love this kid

Fave moments lol

Sorry for delay.

I went down for a look today and was fairly impressed with what I saw. From what I saw the general skills were pretty good given the very average windy, slippery conditions.

I got there at 9 and there was no action until 9:45.

My observations from the session:

- 3 votes to Monkey, arrived in style on motorbike about 20 minutes after all the players. If only he would pass on some diet tips to Phoenix. Monkey would have to be close to 150kgs, Spicer close to 50kgs and maybe should be a jockey.

- Drury will play games in 2023, he is very mature bodied for a small fella. His skills are very good. He did sit out a bit of the session but it’s hard not to notice a ranga and when I was participating he looked like he belonged. Love the previous comparison on here with Patch, even without the red hair he has similarities. He is the perfect mix of footballer and athlete.

- I noticed Corr there today but didn’t see him training, I did see Warlord head to the second oval so maybe he joined him there?

- Lazarro is a worry for mine, he hardly looked like a bloke trying to impress and put his hand up for a spot. The strength and conditioning bloke running the earlier drills was yelling at him on several occasions to push through and yelled it the second time so everyone noticed.

- Chom looked great, he moves so well for a big guy. I feel he could be huge for us this year if he stays fit. He seemed to be clunking his marks today and the conditions were atrocious, damp and slippery.

- I agree with observation of Clarko and TT, plenty of love there. I also noticed Clarko yelling to bull on the way out “bull, shirt off”….. the rapport he has with the players is like none I’ve seen before.

- TT was so sharp, his balance and agility is next level. Hopefully the extra work getting put into him is for a role in the middle this year. He just glides and is so smooth with each touch.

- Our new ruckman looks way off, I hope there is a lot of improvement in him. I remember someone mentioning he looks out of place, seeing him today I agree.

- Young Arch has had a very big preseason, his bulked right up. His upper body growth should help him compete in the air and contest.

- Cooper is a decent size for a first year player, his body seems very well developed. Compared with Harry S he is huge.

- LDU and Cunners will be our best 2 mids barring injury, exciting to have them both fit in the same side.

- the vibe was really good, all staff and players were very upbeat…. Some drills just for fun were good to see, the soccer drill keeping the ball up was a good watch.

Fire questions at me, I will try my best to answer.
