I've not heard that much on Grimes in previous reports. It'd be great if you could have a look.

Thanks DW. In addition to the other requests, I'm really keen to know how Sef. Martin is shaping up. Havn't heard very much about him this year, and based on his promising debut season, I'm really excited about his prospects.

[jacey 333]

Also if u could tell us if u notice some positional changes, like Jrivers, Cgarland playing forward or sylvia, petterds maric training with midfiled group. anything unusual.

Reported on Demonology that Jamar was wearing a moon boot. Our ruck stocks being as thin as they are can ill afford either Jamar or PJ to be missing games.

On that, How is PJ looking for the oncoming season? Didn't he have hip surgery at the end of last season?

[Gorgoroth 12,365]

Our rucks are average, I say stick an extra mid in their, sod the ruck, better a good mid than a dud ruck, PJ is ok, donoughts I'm still not convinced about.

[demonwithin 46]

Very quick will give more detail tonight after work

Jamar in a moon boot

Jurrah got through warm up running then left field

Blease, Moloney run laps

Rivers didnt train

Robb still limping but particpated more then I thought

Aussie looked in great condition

Strauss is a good size

Watts very vocal as was Green, Bruce, Brock

Best sight was Col doing a full session with not a bit of tape anywhere to be seen and looking in top shape

More details tonight

Cheers

I ran into Sylvia and his manager (Tom Pretoro, he's an old friend) in the CBD last week. Col looked simply awesome, fittest looking person I've seen in the flesh for a long time.

When Syl wandered off mid-conversation to put something down, Tom whispered to me that he is due for a massive season. It could be because he's up for contract at the end of the year and Tom is wanting to talk up his street value. But he did mention that he's off the grog, eating right and has been extra sessions to condition his body right.

Look out boys 2009 and could well be remembered as the year of the Svelt Sylvia!

Indeed, name a player who's flying on the track or having their best season for years and dollars-to-donuts it'll be the the player who is out of contract at the year's end. Gotta love one year contracts.

I swear this was being talked up this time last year.

Why make a weak point weaker? An extra mid will not mean anything if the opposition gets a clean and uncontested tap at the ball to a waiting player. Our midfield quality is sorely tested and bumping up quantity does not solve the problem.

Agree.

And isnt great that at this time of year every side is "training the house down".

Too true! Its very unlikely to hear that a team is "taking it easy" over the pre-season.

Official Press Conference from head coach:

"Yeah, our boys have been hard it watching the Cricket & Tennis and have been on teh golf course at least 3 times a week. Our ruckman has a bad bout of intergestion but I reckon he'll be right by round 1".

Haha

[Rampaging Demons 1]

no doubt our players wish we had a wet and wild down here...

vossy has his finger on the pulse - knows how hard we've been training, blah, blah.......

after last season, our players deserved to be belted - lack of fitness and some of the worst skills seen of any afl side...

The Febey's were notorious for this...

I remember this quote from an apparently famous american NFL coach, I can't remember his name but it went something like this...

"Give me a team full of guys in their last year of their contracts and I'll give you a champion team"
