Any update on Max Gawn ?

Max Gawn and Jesse Hogan walked a slow lap of the tan.

Great photos SD thanks

Seconded. Cheers for the photos SD. Also great write up BH - anyone else with some notes?

Looks like Tynan? Put on a fair bit of size by the looks of it.

I know it is only the 19th November but does anyone else get the feeling that Davey is over the hill and far away?

It was Tynan.

There was more of the circle work type drills that I mentioned at the last session, but the skill level today was noticeably inferior. Plenty of balls were hitting the ground and it just wasn't as crisp, but I put that down to the gruelling running session, which didn't take place at the previous sessions - or nowhere to the same degree.

Thanks for an informative report. The bit I've quoted intrigues me. I know Craig Bellamy is big on the Storm practicing their skills at the end of training when they're buggered as he believes it stands them in good stead, particularly towards the end of games

Not sure that AFL clubs do the same as often they are focussed on injury prevention but I think it's a terrific idea & well worth the risk. It's one thing to be able to pinpoint a pass when you are fresh but to do it with legs full of lactic acid requires a far greater degree of skill & concentration. I would think that the more you practice skill execution under that sort of duress, the better off you'd be in the course of a game. Just another of those 1 percent differences that can win you a game.

Yes, I didn't see Barry, but none of Barry, Blease, or Tynan participated in the sprints I referred to earlier. They ran on the oval next to AAMI.

Or in the case of the Dees keep you in it till at least the last quarter!

Good to see Barry paired up with Blease, the two speedsters

I think we need something smaller and nippier - Randolph Agarn

Lets get the whole Hakawi tribe.

Should have a caption competition for the Nathan Jones next to the van photo:

1. "I think it's only an offence if you urinate against the back wheel"

2. "Gee I look good in this mirror"

3. "Just because we've now got a bloke from Collingwood doesn't mean he's the only one allowed to break into vehicles"

I wouldn't be surprised if he pulls the pin before the National Australia Bank cup.

Great reports and photos

Thanks for all who contribute.

I hope you guys arent photoshopping !!!!!

It's great to see muscle definition. really noticeable for someone like me who doesn't see the guys live anymore.

I reckon this season could surprise?

GO DEES

He has been for a couple of years now...

Thanks for the detailed report, BH.

Also thanks to Steamin' Demon for the photos! Much appreciated by those who don't live in Melbourne.
