All this time Roos has been watching and barking instructions to the assistants from high up in his cherry-Picker but now he is striding out to join what must be the 3qtr time huddle

[SaberFang 7,151]

Sensational reporting mate, keep it up! Really appreciate it.

[waynewussell 6,571]

Back to bump, tag & run activities without ball now Nice to see big Max without a knee bandage keeping up in all the running stuff

[SaberFang 7,151]

Any sign of Brayshaw/Petracca/Stretch? How they holding up?

Kent & Riley have gone in at the moment. Still can't tell the difference between Harmes & Hunt Dawes took a nice mark over Macca deep in the forward line before in match play He is another that has been intense and verbal throughout but the biggest voice marshall is Dunny.

[Senegor 31]

Lots of little dees supporters around... terlich, riley, kent, spencer in the ice baths around 31 here - breeze isn't helping

[Senegor 31]

Grimes just copped one to the face on defusing inside fifties compliments of Tom McD. Off with blood.

[waynewussell 6,571]

Howe just blitzed in a defenders activity where the ball is kicked high to 3 different marking targets and the defender has to run to each and try to spoil He finished with the regulation screamer Grimes just got smashed in this activity and walked in looking worse for wear

The breeze is part of the game.

Hogan going fine, kicking a fraction off

delist

[Senegor 31]

Haha Helping me I meant!

what is it about Grimes, he always seems to get hammered

[SaberFang 7,151]

He needs to eat a steak once in a while.

[waynewussell 6,571]

Been training for 2 & 3/4 hours now Two groups doing different drills now One surging forward from the wing the other bringing the ball out of defence with short kicks and handballs

[Senegor 31]

Looks like training is done

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

He needs to eat a steak once in a while.

Yeah he has a somewhat slight build, but he just always seems to have the bad luck (or is it something else, like poor judgement?) to be in the wrong spot for a flying knee or a shirtfront or whatever.. I just seem to recall him pulling himself up off the grass looking very rough on a number of occasions!

[waynewussell 6,571]

Running repeat 300's now to finish session

[waynewussell 6,571]

Viney, Toumpas, Gawn, Fitzy, Howe, McKenzie, Tommy Max doing well in runs

[Bombay Airconditioning 6,450]

All good Senegor but one thing I take away from these training reports and the ones from Melbourne is that this group of players has run out of excuses for not performing.

[Senegor 31]

They look pretty sharp despite being out there for 2.5 hours, handling it much better than the cricketers did at the gabba

[waynewussell 6,571]

A few of the seniors including Dunny and Nat Jones were not satisfied with what they perceived as a drop off in the final half hour. They called all players back on the ground for a pep talk and another short and sharp running activity with the injured players having to do a push-up repeat exercise at the same time. Petracca excelled in the short sprints, a good sign from a junior after a hot 3hrs in the Qld sun Many players then stayed on the ground for some shots at goal

[Senegor 31]

And the drills continue...

So the players have set themselves some high standards......about bloody time.

[SaberFang 7,151]

Great to hear that leadership. Dunny seems to be pushing hard for a potential co-captain role.

[waynewussell 6,571]

Players warming down in pairs and shooting for goal Rawlings instructing Salem on some 1 on 1 body work and close checking 22 blokes still out on the oval
