Seems like match sim is done - scoreboard reads 115 Blue to 99 White

Blue team are dominant forward of centre (having BBB, T Mc, Tracc and Pickett) but being held inside d50 at times leading to long bombs. The lack of May and Salem is showing.

White a bit the same, but Sparrow long to JVR seems an effective match up. 

Jefferson obviously won’t play for a while but he is an exciting prospect for the forward line. 

Brayshaw came off and is getting his wrist strapped. 

He’s back out training now.

Andy, Andy Moniz-Wakefield assume he back with the main group?  How is he traveling?

He was filling in on a wing and I think JJ had 15 touches on him, but when he did get around the contest he looked handy.

He’s wearing bigger shorts than Eddie Betts 

Some great tackling from Fritsch today. 

Love the short sharp comments    almost like being there    thanks to all

 

I do like the longer conciderred ones as well though  Go Dees

Much thanks to Demonland, DeelightfulPlay and DeeSpencer for your match sim reporting. Almost as good as being there.

Feel for Tomlinson. Works his guts out but I feel he has moved down the pecking order. Already hard to break into the defence with Petty May & Lever and with Disco Turner impressing and Jed Adams doing his apprenticeship you feel he might not get the opportunity baring injuries.

Agreed, Tommo was great today in both match sim and drills but it's a packed field ahead of him

Did Adams participate in the match sim?

It’s evident that this year we’ll be bringing the ball back into the guts more rather than always predictably going along the wings and kicking into the forward pocket.

No. Yogging with Verrell 

Brown, Hibbo, Adams & Moniz-Wakefield no longer participating in match sim and are running half laps at a quick pace. 

Messy low intensity start to this sim.

Adams now doing sprints with Hibbo, AMW, BBB who have been pulled out 

Hibbo’s thigh has been bandaged indicating a corkie. Running with a slight limp. 

Nothing we don't already know, but gee Bowey is a clean kick

Good stint in that drill from Jeffo, finding space on Disco by timing his leads and leaps. 

Melksham on the bike and Woey doing weights. 

I’ll be happy to answer questions on anyone I haven’t mentioned. 

How does blake howes look? Do you think he is a round 1 smokey?

Lever also left the match sim and is doing work in the makeshift shed. 

Chin really working in this match sim, had a few good marks where he's run hard to win them

Max and Grundy face off, Max successful but Hunter snatches the pass out (Max the only blue)

Kyah faces off Petty for a mark and then "goals" (as far as there's such a thing in these match sims) to shouts of delight from some of the boys.  Nice to see him coming along!

Ben Brown practicing snaps from the boundary.
