They must be like a pack of restless dogs about to be walked, preseason is a looong boring gig when you just wanna play the game.

You at training?

Would appreciate an update when they're done. Thanks in advance.

Latest from my Brother who went down to mainly see Oliver:

Oliver originally did kicking work with Jones, Tim Smith and a coach, but was spared a high intensity tackling drill done by the rest of the group.

He later joined match simulation and looked good in his eyes.  Running and kicking without any perceived issues.

Just now Oliver has been doing stoppage work with Gawn, Maynard, Salem, Brayshaw, Lewis, Harmes, and Petracca (wearing different colour bibs).

Lots of supporters in attendance.  High intensity session with 28 trying to fit into 22.  Thinks Spargo is a very hard tackler.  And liked the look of Weideman, who he hasn't always been bullish on, but now is.  Says Weideman moving very well and just looks a natural footballer.  Said Balic looked good.

Thinks that any player who has recently had a niggle looks good.  Only players missing are Tom McDonald and Viney.

He's an amateur observer, so Ben Guthrie may be right, but he thought Oliver moved well and didn't notice any issues, although, as said, he was spared a very high intensity tackling session.

Ben Guthrie's reply to me with the match sim update. He still thinks Oliver is TBC.

Would you be joining in match simulation if your fitness was in doubt ?

That the son of a VFL/AFL player and Grandson of a VFL/AFL champion player looks a natural footballer when said player is currently on an AFL list is a "big statement" ?

Looking like a "natural footballer" is a "big statement" ?

OK.

Still 3 more days for clarry, he should be fine. Why risk him with high intensity?

If this is the brother that played a game at the Hawks, I would back his judgment over Ben Guthrie!

Can anyone pass the status of Tommy Bugg and Dom Tysons hair?
As the 2 best mops in the team I want to be sure that when I flick on Fox footy on Sunday that I will be graced with their 10/10 hairstyles.

You could've guessed this timeframe from Misson's injury report.

10 days to de-load and then they have to re-load which you imagine is another 10-15 days. That's 3 weeks right there. Then another 3 weeks to get to match fitness levels.
