First time I've noticed the grooves being broadcast from the boundary during training... nice upbeat atmosphere wafting across the Paddock

Great report Wayne...but what's this mean? (Is it just me? No-one else has asked...)

Oh. How simple. I was expecting it was some sort of iPhone auto-correct error or young-person speak. Thanks.

Thanks wayne, good stuff.

Wonder why the jumper # changes.

Wayne Ludbey photo from today's training. To be honest, I'm more troubled by the royal blue shorts than the platinum hair.

Jack looks like he has been pumping iron with Gysberts in the break...

They just stuff around, or forgot their own, or they are being remade, McKenna was in 44 for a couple of days, now in 40

Oliver was feeling crook, spoke to him, didn't sound the best, there have been a couple of them with a bug

Will put a bit more later today or tomorrow

Watts is determined to keep the hair

On the music, it was the video guys idea, asked permission and it was granted, players all for it

Can begin to see why we grabbed McKenna, Joel Smith looking even better than last season, think we have found a smoky

When session finished, fitness guys were having a go at Maynard for walking back without a shirt, "3 sessions and already the rig is out"

The morale amongst the whole group seems very high

Standouts for me in the drills Hogan, Brayshaw, McKenna

[BAMF 4,353]

What do you like about McKenna?

Good size, speed, neat and tidy kicking action, knows where to run, know it is early days but was receiving lots of praise from coaches and other players during drills

I was determined to keep mine, but unfortunately determination just isn't enough.

Had a chat to Jack Viney, already had the reins pulled a couple of times (surprise), wants to be back with main group, was given a firm no, looks in top condition anyway, said the hip has 'settled' really well, wants to join in Monday, told to wait and see

Hibberd and Melksham looking better each session as well, both feeling really good after each session, looking forward to joining main group

Vince is the old man now, starting his 12th pre season, looks in great shape as well

Apart from the hair, message has sunk in with Watts as well, looks in elite condition,  straight into whole session

My two hour car park under the bridge is running low so I'll be leaving soon. They have broken into 3 groups now. Ollie walking around still out of the action All groups doing versions of handball under pressure

HI WW,

Firstly, thanks for your reports.

I was down your way today but did not have time to drop in.  Regarding parking, there is usually parking on Swan Street by the car wash (2 hours) OR, I found a pay and display park just off Cremorne Street on the south side of Swan street for those longer stays.

Great reporting from you two. Thanks very much. 

[Ted Lasso 19,518]

Brayshaw looks set for a huge year if the start of pre season is anything to go by, showed up in fantastic shape, running extremely well, looks clean and sharp, i reckon he could really bounce back strongly this year.

Jack Watts looks like a young Billy Thorpe with that new style!

Goodwin was talking about playing him as a forward, even though he was playing as a defender at GWS, junior was forward
