My thought is that Danger would cut him to pieces.

Frosty is an athlete first and foremost and wouldn't have the footy smarts to go with Danger.

The best way to beat Danger as a forward is to stop supply and force him back into the midfield.

The Swans failed badly at this in the finals and left Rampe exposed.

But the Crows did it really well

My son Liam and I popped along to the AFLW training this evening and he took command of the camera again. Shots can be found here (Faulty, I’ll upload some for you tomorrow some time):

For the benefit of those who can’t access the Facebook album, here are a few shots taken by my son Liam at yesterday’s AFLW training (posted here because it seems the AFLW forum gets very little traffic).

Couple of notes from this morning

Balic just has a minor niggle

Weed hopefully with main group after Maroochydoore

To the knockers, great one on one drills today with Omac and Frost, probably a draw, Omac not outmuscled, coaches encouraging ferocity in the contest

Pics later on Insta and a lot later on here

Did you photoshop Daisy’s forehead?

Satdog, how’s Balic and in particular his fitness coming along? It was noted that at the start of pre-season he appeared to be really behind the others.

In Goodwin’s words:

Harley Balic

Harley arrived at the club in the off-season from Fremantle. After settling in, he’s been outstanding at training. He won one of our training ‘player of the week’ awards, which is a credit to him and his development in the time that he’s been involved in our program. We’re really looking forward to seeing him play in 2018.

Totally [censored] off he has a minor niggle, was as noted, looking really good as the pre season progressed

Think personally he was told to ease into the training and then started to do extra

Saty, keen to hear how the Christian’s (Salem and Petracca) are looking in both the midfield drills and running.  

Any noticable strengths or weaknesses?

Son of Tacky, your photos are great. Along with 666, you guys rock.

Does anyone know if Spargo is still in the rehab group?

Trac is rehabbing at the moment, Salem is ticking of the sessions, looks super fit and strong, working exclusively with the mids

Not as such, but in and out the drills along with Petty, Fritsch and Baker who are older and used to the training loads are doing more

Random question for track-watchers: when our forwards and backs match up on each other, which individuals tend to have the wood on other specific players?

More photos taken by my son Liam at yesterday’s (Wednesday) training session - and considering Liam’s just 15, I’m extremely proud of his efforts so far.  

Here’s a link for those able to view in Facebook (https://m.facebook.com/tim.fleming.75/albums/1579333815435229). Otherwise, here is a subset, albeit quite a substantial subset, for those who can’t...

Kents looking the leanest he’s ever been. Saty’s t-shirt is on another level.
