[Lampers 563]

Yep, the picture in the Hun looks like the guy at training.

[McQueen 17,865]

There were a tonne of people at training, (including Todd V, Harrington, Mahoney, Connolly, Schwab, etc.) so I'm sure there'll be more reports. I'll leave it to others this week. It was a long session. I got there at 9.50am, which was exactly the same time as the players came out, and left at 12.20pm and they were still training.

I have to say I like the look of Kent. He has the big arse that Malthouse loves, strong legs and is a very nice left foot kick. Although the newbies were restricted to light work and spending time with Neil Craig.

And I loved Viney's stoppage work in the man-on-man match simulation drills.

A work colleague of mine who also a WAFL Colts umpire goes to the same gym as Kent does here in WA. Said he was flogging himself in there the (Friday) night after being drafted rather than celebrating.

Says he's a real hard worker.

Sounds like he was very excited. Jon Dorotich was from WA too.

I'd probably do the same if the Dee's picked me up.

I will choose my verbs more carefully next time.

It wasn't Jack Fitzpatrick?

It wasn't Jack Fitzpatrick?

... uh, I reckon the seasoned training watchers are probably switched on enough to recognise Fitzpatrick.

[Whispering_Jack 30,228]

The new tall was 200cm and his first name was Jack.

Not me - I was at the dentist's.

Besides, I'm a tad under 200cm.

Well, actually, I'm more than a tad under - close to a foot in the old.

Anyway, thanks everybody for your reports - much appreciated.

It wasn't Jack Fitzpatrick?

Nope.

It wasn't Jack Fitzpatrick?

It was definitely Jack Hannath. I asked one of the coaching staff at training.

[Rosso 59]

Jay Clark from Herald Sun tweeted to say Rodan and Viney were clear standouts at Dees training this morning

[beelzebub 23,380]

As opposed to Jake Spencer or Stef Martin this guy is an ACTUAL footballer, not a 'basketballer' or 'tall guy'.

Looks very hungry.

Looks a rather solid lad doesnt he

Might be a capable rookie. Seems all the way around the club is adding players who could and would be nipping at others heels should any falter or not come on.

Aught to be a lot of very 'keen' players in 2013 Not a bad thing in my books.

Viney set Demon Standard

Looks like it was an interesting training session.

I have mentioned somewhere else that we are playing the percentages when it comes to recruiting choosing well rounded types.

All have a degree of athleticism, strength and skill and they all look and act like footballers.

i.e. no glaring weaknesses,

Leigh Brown will regret this one day.

Bit slow today, had to think twice; very good 'dandeeman'.

leigh brown's arm is now in a sling

[ILLDieADemon 804]

Flash will retire at the end of next season.

A link to some pics from today's session....

[beelzebub 23,380]

Flash will retire at the end of next season.

I'll make a prediction.

Flash will put in some hard yards and might even squirm his way onto the bench a few times.

He will show cameos of brilliance lest we forget he was THE ONE who effectively started the defensive forward thing in the reincarnation of the game (as we now know it).

Then it'll be about ... ooooh ... round 14-15. Flash will fail to come up after a niggling reignition of his knee. After talks with the club and a visit to the personnel department to sign off on a change in role at the club he will announce his retirement from AFL playing effective immediately.

Some well deserving rookie gets promoted for the ros and life goes on.

This is said not to denigrate the bloke as hes been a great player in the main, cruelled in the end by injuries. Just calling it as i see it (in the tea leaves lol).

Toumpas is not smiling here, go home factor now at 75%.

[My TD 156]

Watching his teammates run through the drill it dawns on him why we've been rubbish for years.
