I will try and get down there since I have the day off Uni. I will also try and take photos of those 4. No promises though.

At least the cool change should have come through by then (anyone living in Melbourne understands). Makes it much more pleasant for the spectators...oh, and the players.

[DeeZee 7,394]

I'm here and watching the session, can't stay too long, but gee it's good to see Mitch and Trenners out with the main group.

Blease running laps looks ok too.

[DeeZee 7,394]

That Kiwi project player is also here running laps, can't remember his name

Being new to the group, I assume he is a little sheepish?

They are now doing a drill where they have to get the ball out of a congested area, with one group tackling and the other trying to get the ball out.

Viney looks pretty good at this as does Rodan. Barry also looks quick around the packs.

Dawes and Blease working together doing sprints.

Sounds like Dawes hammy injury is no longer an issue?

He looks fine to me, looks like they are putting he and Blease through an agility test.

Kent doing sprints with Bail, but there is something special about Kent. He looks hardened and ready made.

[DeeZee 7,394]

Trengove looking a little slimmer and dare I say it quicker .... in the middle of the drill I'm watching now and demanding the ball.

That sounds South African to me...

[DeeZee 7,394]

Gawn outmarking Jamar in one on ones and also looks fit.

[DeeZee 7,394]

Dunn is everywhere, expect a huge season from him this year.

Seems to be be making all the play out of defence.

[Shmity29 61]

How's Mitch Clark going?

[DeeZee 7,394]

How's Mitch Clark going?

Clark looks good. He hasn't lost his skills and he still oozes leadership out on the ground.

I reckon he will play round one.

[Barney Rubble 1,576]

Being new to the group, I assume he is a little sheepish?

Only YOU would assume that.

[hardtack 10,537]

Only YOU would assume that.

Well, you know what they say about one who assumes... makes an ass out of ewe and me.

Maia Westrupp (pronounced Myer)

[Bonkers 994]

Sounds like Dawes hammy injury is no longer an issue?

Pretty standard rehab procedure I would presume. Lifting intensity from jogging, 1/4 pace, 1/2 pace, 3/4 pace, 90% through to repeat full pace sprints until they are 100% fit.

[cowboy_from_hell 2,390]

Could JT and Mitch both be fit enough for Round 1?

Mitch will have no fitness base and JT won't have enough to play as a mid for the whole game. I hope they play but I hope they are fit and firing first.

Isn't the word out that Mitch Clark will be playing for Casey in a practice match against Port Melbourne next week? If true, I suppose that will give some sort of indication as to his level of match fitness, from which the club can make their next call.
