I’m at Gosch’s Paddock today and I will attempt to bring you a running commentary of my observations. I will collate all my musings in this post at the end of training.

I’ll just be giving observations of players and not in depth description of drills. 

They have separated into 3 groups rotating different warm up drills. 

Keep up the good work. You've got Jefferson in both rehab and in the white team. Is that possible?

He is in rehab wearing white. 🤷‍♂️

He’s obviously coming along nicely.  Twice the player he was last season.

Tomlinson is looking super fit and skills are sharp. Always impressed me at this time of year. 

I was critical of Laurie’s skills last season but he looks to cleaned them up. Has been silky.

Trac is an absolute beast. That’s the post. 

2 separate keeping’s off/tackling drills going on. 

5 players not involved; Brayshaw, K. Brown, Turner, Tholstrup, Sparrow (all still doing their own tackling drills but importantly Brayshaw doesn’t have a “do not tackle” hat/bib on)

4 Rucks/Talls doing a separate drill - Fullarton, KFW, Schache & Verrell. 

JVR is a Monster. 

Match SIM about to start. Tholstrup walks to position into the forward pockets and hip and shoulders an unsuspecting Turner. Love the kid. 

Windsor will play this season is my hot tip. Skills, class and composure. 

Hunter is back training in full. Does not look hampered at all by the recent calf niggle. 

Viney training the house down. 

Tholstrup will also play this season. I have no doubt. 

Ben Brown has entered the building and doing kick to kick with Tyla Hanks on the boundary. 

Howes hitting up some beautiful passes in the corridor.

As reported in previous training report TMac is a defender. 

Howes playing deep on McAdam. 

Rivers and Kozzy running through the middle. 

Hore on Fullarton

Adams on JVR

JVR just took a magnificent contested mark against TMac.
