Been told to wait until it's official

[640MD 2,784]

Not a chain of coffee shops as sponsor

So, either something to do with coffee or a product that launches. SpaceX? Starbucks (they do appear to be upping their interest in Australia)?

Jaguar?

How is this possible with a competitor already as a sponsor?

Presumably they will be booted

First time at training this year for me. 

There appeared to be two levels of rehab,  the more serious one contained KK, May, Jones and Walker.  They did heaps of running starting with straight line three quarter pace 100m and 200m runs and at the end they were doing lots of laps.  None looked very inconvenienced.  Hannan was just walking laps, tried to find out what the issue was but got nothing.

The second rehab group was quite big but my guess is that they were just on light duties after Saturday.  I'm not sure I'll get all of them but Maynard, Petracca, Viney, Lever, Hibberd, Stretch, Melksham, JKH, AVB, Baker and Nev Jetta.  They did lots of handball drills but no running that I saw.

The rest of the group did very light duties.  Gentle run throughs, a little bit of kicking to leading players and some goal kicking and crumbing snaps.  Today was clearly just a gentle "get the legs moving" session after Saturday.

Spoke to some of my contacts down there who reiterated what Saty has been saying about rehab but recognized we'd been a bit unfortunate not to have the number of players in full training mainly because it makes doing the drills a bit more problematic. 

Another positive was that this year all our recruits bar Hore have done the major part of the preseason which will stand them in good stead for the season and is unusual as usually the young guys struggle with the loads and carry injuries from the TAC season.

See any nice cars at training @Baghdad Bob?

[Slartibartfast 15,756]

All out of my price bracket Andy.

[In Harmes Way 7,492]

Anybody notice anyone training, or are you all getting stuck into free coffee and looking under car bonnets?

nice work @Satyriconhome - aways appreciate the effort of getting down there and taking some shots for those elsewhere...

Tom Sparrow has a bit of size about him.

What, exactly, was going on in that Preuss photo? It lends itself to a caption competition.

Confused the tree with Maxy, common mistake.

Yes it was a very light session. I spoke briefly to Justin Plapp who said a number of players pulled up sore after Saturday’s training, guessed they were not used to wet weather footy. He was upbeat about the squad and how they are training, that the rehab group is getting smaller by the week and that Clarrie is back to full training. As KK ran past he commented that he is going to be very good for us this season.
