I know, it's a slow news week. Boys are out of town so I thought I'd go over my old training shoots. I came across these snaps of Gus training with us last year.

Interesting, in the last 2 photos he is opposite Nicholson, who has now left and that number is now to be used by his mate Petracca, who is already more physically developed than Nicholson after several years at the club.

To be fair to Nicho, Petracca couldn't catch him on the field at the moment. But it wouldn't matter I suppose as Nicho would obligingly turn it over anyway.

Is it Nicholson?

I seem to recall that Billy Stretch was the other AIS participant at training at the same time. It could be him.

Nicholson's height, build, number, hair cut, inbred country ears. It's Nicholson. Not sure about the body critique though. Nicho had the right body for a player who was built on speed and endurance. I bet Tom McDonald misses his old house mate and training buddy pushing him in the runs.

I think you might be right. The ears have it.

2015:

Interesting to compare with this year. Although he is wearing a top his body doesn't seem to have really changed much. He reminds me a bit of Grimes - the awkward kind of movement.

Looking forward to seeing him develop his game. I think the short hair makes him look faster/tougher.

Looks a little thicker across the shoulders and in the thighs. Hard to tell. Early days yet. His weight is around the high 80kg or 90kg mark, which is pretty good for such a young fella.

And here's the really important question: Is he normally called Gus?

All Angus are called Gus

Hope not. Terrible nickname for someone under 60.

Should call him "Roo" in deference to his family connections

If you have been to any training sessions you will hear the playing group call him Gus.

I don't think we'll ever see 'Gus' Young on lead guitar for AC/DC
