It's really interesting how well the two sports compliment each other, a lot of people seem to be very naturally talented and able to play multiple sports at a very high level but AFL and basketball go well together

Gus is ok, as per interview on club website, just getting it done in the first week, was very smooth when they were doing the bring out and back in drills

Article in this morning's SHun had the additional comment from Angus that he was trying to keep his head out of drills. An understandable stance but problematic for him? Any evidence in training so far? Article also elaborated on his training with neighbour Jonesy; that training, and keeping up, with super-trainer Jonesy would drag him to higher levels of endurance. So, ditto, any evidence in training so far?

Impressive recovery by Mitch K, seven months from his injury.

I add my thanks to Demonland's eyes, ears and keyboards at Gosch's.

It is a running joke amongst the squad about the size of Angus' head, he has even joked to me about it, he had his tongue firmly in cheek

Just really unlucky last year, once the realstuff starts, he like the rest will have his head over the ball

Angus was very good on Friday, aerobic fitness definitely up

I asked Macca for an early tip for a great year, answer Brayshaw

In     Egan, Chaplin Rooke

Stinear (Womens team then development)

Just with Chaplin being 'offensive coordinator' whatever the hell that is, and not sure exactly what role Rooke will have, as far as I know it is Rawlings backs, Mattews midfield and McPherson forwards, the rest development   will have to see when whole squad is back

Sorry Beelzebub this is answer to your post, more daughter training on smartphone required
