Petty has come from the field and taken off one boot and is sitting in the cart next to the weights shed. 😱

Brown doing 150-200m jogging along the boundary. Looks comfortable. 

McAdam doing same and does not look comfortable. 

Thanks for these reports Andy. Much appreciated.

Just for clarity though,  given we have 2 Browns, can you use their initials - BB or KB to distinguish.

Both boots off. Insoles out of boots into runners. Runners on. Still sitting in cart. Not good.

Noted. BB in this instance. 

Petty is out of the cart (in runners) and talking to a trainer on Gosch’s. 

Main group split into 4 groups and doing a keepings off no contact handball drill. 

Petty now in the weights shed on a bike.

He looks pretty shattered

Yep. Not great a month out with very limited options up forward. 

Petty chronic foot issue, McAdam can’t get on the park consistently and Melk not available EQUALS our forward line being as woeful as it was last year… in brighter news my MFCSS is training the house down

JVR such a natural forward. His team got a turnover and he just instinctively positioned himself on Hore to take a mark. 

Woey and K Brown laying some ferocious tackles on a don’t arguing Viney. 

Jefferson lays a ferocious tackle on Billings who tried to sell him some candy. Most of his team went over to pat him on the back. 

Fullarton running laps at a good clip. McAdam running laps at more than a jog. Still doesn’t look overly comfortable. 

Petty working the medicine ball in the sheds. 

I'm really not seeing what the club saw in McAdam - regularly injured, lacks fitness and turns 29 in a few months. Hope he comes cheap.

Disappointing to hear that Petty is still miles off.

Gus has come from the field and gone into the sheds. 

Salem also off the fields into the sheds.

Now Salo running laps with Clarry at a very good clip.

Brayshaw back out on the field. 

Melksham, Petty, B Brown and Hunter doing a circuit of ropes, medicine ball, weights and rower in the sheds.

Go to some Adelaide replays/ highlights in the last few rounds last year when he was kicking goals.

Clarry back doing drills with McQaulter separate from the main group. Mixture of short passes, handballs or ruck taps from Mini ending with snaps at goal from Clarry. 

Is it possible that he is training to play as a forward early in the season due to his limited preparation?
