Oh Gee there is a surprise WJ!

[ManDee 7,148]

I have always wanted to know how to train a house down so I did a google search, now I get it.

The one on the left is Dawes the one on the right is Hogan I think.

Black and white footage, maybe Dawes on the left and HL on the right, just like the old days at Gosch's paddock?

I hate to build on the hype but Hogan was so impressive, he killed his group in the running and worked his butt off in the drills. Tyson also stood out and is moving really well, others that impressed me were Brayshaw, Newton & Garlett.

[Wiseblood 24,637]

I was down there for an hour.

Talked to Salem about what moisturising cream he uses, told me it's Palmolive and he let me rub some on his arm. Going to be a big year for him.

Also took the time to speak to Dom Tyson, asked him what underwear he is wearing, he laughed about it and was a good sport by posing for pictures in just his underwear. I think he wears Bonds but I got a little dizzy.

Big Maxy Gawn was looking the goods too now he has lost the beard, I was interested in what he used to shave it off but he didn't tell me. I asked 5 other trainers about it but they all gave me different answers, so just leave it alone please.

I also spoke to Nathan Jones and asked him where he lived so I could visit his new baby. When he got angry I pretended to be joking but don't worry fellas, I'll get it in time. Got the little one a present for Xmas so I'll speak to him on Wednesday.

Everyone else ran the 2km trial round the tan in 20 seconds, everyone looking absolutely sensational!

You should have been there OD.

That house was totally demolished today.

Jesse smashed the runs. What a monster, he still had fuel in the tank what's more.

Toump wasn't there light duties probably after last week.

Dunny wasn't as well, Howie has a new tattoo. Head said it looked a lot like. Saty.

The training was a frenetic pace moving the ball from FB to the forward line.

Any mistake was instantly turnover and culprit down for push-ups.

Harmes still has 4kg to put on to get to playing weight.

White an well and a great kick.

Trenners had his scan he said everything was OK but still had his cast on.

I'll let Saty report on things in more detail.

PS Saty said there may be a scratch match on Friday. That would be worth going to see.

I hope we get confirmation of that.0

Hard to ignore the urge to go to training when it's 26 degrees with nice cool breeze in the air. Really good crowd here at Goschs with a good 30-40 (maybe been around 50 before I left) people seeing a exhausting and top notch training session

Watts, Reily, Vandenburg (?), Spencer were rehabbing. Anyone know what's wrong with Watts? (pardon the pun)

Sure enough, Trengove was still on his scooter whatchamacallit. Terlich rode the exercise bike with Watts joining him later in the session.

Started with some laps around Gosch's

- Hogan and TMac leading their respective groups (quite comfortably I might add)

- next two groups start running. Hunt(?) and Dawes leading these groups

- noticed young Harmes shouting some encouragement. Love seeing that in a young player. Grimes also among the usual suspects providing encouragment. Seemed to very vocal today.

Appeared to be mainly a running session with the boys doing another couple

Laps begin again

- Hogan destroyed the running again in his group with McKenzie and Neal Bullen coming a good 3-4 seconds behind him

- Hunt again leading his group. In fact annihilating it.

- Brayshaw edged out Dawes to claim first in his group. Obvious that Petracca still needs to build a tank (although I noticed he had a bandage on his leg). Was trailing behind Brayshaw before slipping to second last next time they came around me.

Exhaustion ensued

Some harmless kick to kick action followed.

The boys had a few shots on goal. Spencer attempted to have a few shots from the boundary line. Good luck with that buddy

Next on the agenda was some match simulation.

- Brayshaw picked up a goal from a nice piece of ball movement.

- Still the odd shank of the ball. Hey, I guess it's pre season.

- King picked up a little spray from coach Miller

- Jamar played forward for most of the time. Wouldn't mind him doing that more often this season with guys like Gawn and Spencer pushing for the key ruck position.

- Viney was roving the ball beautifully

- Newton looked pretty impressive, kicked a couple goals and overall used the ball well.

Hogan was practicing his set shots. Looks a lot better than I remember seeing 2-3 weeks ago. Seemed to be kicking them from everywhere. I left pretty soon after. No Toump or Dunny at training either.

A reminder to that the boys will be moving training to Casey Fields in January next year due to the Asian Cup. So catch them at Goschs while you can.

Bravo

Sounds like you went for the training, stayed for the company of fit young men. Have the police seized your camera for evidence yet lol?

[dazzledavey36 54,937]

Was JKH there today?

[nutbean 8,838]

I am quite excited by Hogan and these reports.

I kept thinking about having a monster forward but with his running ability - A monster with Nick Reiwoldt athleticism ? Lordy....

[dazzledavey36 54,937]

Good to hear he was back training saty was beginning to get worried.

[McQueen 17,864]

I don't like wishing my life away in any circumstance but seriously, round 1 cannot come quick enough.

[The Devil Inside 2,147]

Was JKH there today?

Yes he was, had a chat, nothing to see here.

Hogan's heroes so to speak, Johno Brown and Nick Riewoldt, he tries to model himself on them, so you may get your wish.

Actually chatted to him about his daughter, promised to stick a picture up this afternoon.

This was very amusing by the way, one day I intend reading it

Other news, Max Gawn got through the whole session again unscathed,

Yes Howie has a tattoo that looks remarkably like my former self, which he pointed out

Again Watts has had an issue with his groin, so they are being ultra cautious, did about 40k on the Wattbike today, said it is progressing as it should, so there is no issue, think he is trying to shed the cleanskin issue a bit, some of the language today was colourful to say the leas

The runs they were doing first up were 1km time trials, Hogan did them is just over 3 minutes, he was seriously pumped today, so was Dawes, they did a jumping high five after a kicking drill which would probably break a normal persons arm

Spoke to Aaron Vandenberg, he is enjoying every second,, asked him which was better working at the Mint or working here, he is on a weekly program, has been told there is no pressure, not even sure when he will bee back in full training, has been told just to follow the program

Myself and Christian Salem think if Arsenal beat Liverpool (actually Christian is sure they will) then Brendan Rodgers will be sacked, for all the soccer followers out there, was walking back to AAMI with him and Jack Viney (who said he had no idea about soccer), Christian reckons Jack would be the perfect Millwall supporter from the 80's

Anything else I think of will follow, pics will be on Twitter Demonpk

I think you fail on a technicality. Try this one:

I find this difficult to believe.

The man is injured more than Sandilands, a guy who stubbed his toe once and was out for 6 weeks.

[Gorgoroth 12,950]

What do you mean from the 80's, they are still the same, same as the ICF.

[ManDee 7,148]

Nice work, but clearly the house has not been trained down.

In my clip the "house" is no longer visible, perhaps it collapsed from the percussion waves.

Silly place to build a house.

That's pretty funny.

Ok... I just snorted coffee out of my nose onto my desk... very funny.

I am going to plagiarise this for work - love it !
