Seriously scary.

With all this off-season eulogising and "monster" myth making about the new recruits in particular Brandon Preuss, well before the advent of the real stuff. When will the hype actually meet the  reality or the reality meet the hype?  Seems more than a whiff of bathwater out there post 2018. 

                                                                 6 drops of the essence of terror

                                                                 5 drops of sinister sauce ...

                                                           ... and now for a tincture of tenderness

                                                           because without a touch of tenderness

                                                                 it might deestroy me

                                                                 oops too much!

    True. We had a John Meesen and a James Sellar once. They were monsters of the "Herman Munster" ilk. We want Michael from Halloween.

    To answer the question re rules, the players have instruction of every facet, fitness, diet, health etc etc

    Any extra has been cleared with the club

    They all have individually tailored programs

    Tommy Mac has been 'instructed' whenever he can to walk barefoot, as it strengthens the foot and will help his toe

    @Scoop Junior

    Only an observation from Saturday’s session in which training was light and the players spent the session largely in positional groups, Fritsch was mainly in drills that consisted of small defenders. Spent some time with Salem, Jetta and Hunt working on basic defensive techniques, such as spoiling and killing the contest quickly.

    As I said, this only from what I observed on Saturday, the regulars might be able to provide more from pre- Christmas sessions in regards to Fritsch.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.
