Fingers crossed but I really think Trac’s kicking has improved. We’ve seen him have a spectrum of in play disposal from sublime to [censored]. I’ve noticed a significant improvement at training sessions. 

He is getting ready for a Left foot dribble in a GF

Kye should get someone from the crowd to read over them first 😂

Are some of the DL silks amongst the track watchers?

Handed over ownership of his home in return for a list spot?

Modern list management maintains the cap admirably.

If JVR doesn’t mark it his follow up work is top rate. He doesn’t stop trying to win the ball and his ground work is fantastic for a big man. A lot of power in the hips. 

Interesting when you remember the Weids work.

That’s all from me. The boys look like they’re changing from boots into runners so perhaps they are going to do their sprints and warm down. 

I’ll compile all my posts into the top post in the thread as well as add some other insights later. 

I’ll also compile the other posters thoughts and link to them in the first post. 

In summary; not one house in the Richmond area is left standing after we once again trained the house down. 

I don’t know how you managed to write all those reports 

I was planning on writing some observations but they were all so slick. 

The list has put on serious muscle. Hunter should make a big difference to our gameplan

Like a sniper I had @george_on_the_outer as my lookout.

Was Jed Adams there?

No he wasn't. A guy who was standing near me thought he saw on Jed's socials that he was in Perth. Perhaps he has some time off for some reason.

There was one drill they were doing right on the fence. It was brilliant to watch up close. Tracc and Kozzie weaving through heavy traffic 

training was not like that at the Junction Oval !! :)

TMac looked absolutely mint and ready to go

i didn’t see Fritsch at all. Will be fascinating to see how the Forward line structures this year

JVR received a handball from Trac running through the middle at full pace and lace outs a beautiful long pass to Bowey on a lead. 

Bowey on a lead? Did he get lost?

Didn’t see you mention Joel Smith either in rehabbers or absent. Was he finally in the main group then?

I saw Fritta on the bike for a bit in the open air gym area. Don't think he participated in anything else.

Good to know. During last year's break he decided to put some serious ink there. I prefer the more recent addition.

Well this is exact why I asked because he did post a insta story of himself a few days ago in a 4 wheel drive on what looked like a beach in Perth.

[DeeZone 7,868]

Hope he’s not catching up with Jacko.!!!

Rivers is a seriously big unit now, powerfully muscled and very quick. Can see him doing some midfield minutes this year. Has grown from a boy to a man since he joined us.

Loved the intense close in drills, everyone hard at it and very clean with their hands. Trac is awesome to watch in close weaving though heavy traffic with power and agility. He is almost impossible to tackle when he is on the move. Kozzie is also a delight to watch moving through congestion at speed with ease.

May looks supremely fit and marked everything that came his way. Likewise Rick Lever looks to be in great shape.

As other observers said it is great to see TMac fit and firing again, will make such a big difference to our forward structure.

Am salivating at the the thought of our two wingers Lingers and Hunter tearing it up at the G. Saw a couple of low and accurate 30m bullet passes from Hunter into the forward line, something we lacked last year. Lingers stamina and relentless running is awesome to watch. Together with Carrie or Viney will form a powerful centre line.

A special mention about JVR. I watched him very closely and was very impressed with how hard he works when the ball hits the ground with intense second and third efforts. He is going to be real asset for us when he finally gets the nod for his first game. He is very hard at it and has excellent evasive skills. Looks like he is being very well coached by Greg Stafford in developing his forward craft.
