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.

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

[The Jackson FIX 3,210]

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

[Demonland 73,161]

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

[Demonland 73,161]

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

[Demonland 73,161]

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. 

[Demonland 73,161]

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

[Demonland 73,161]

Petty working the medicine ball in the sheds. 

[poita 3,902]

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.

[Demonland 73,161]

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

[Demonland 73,161]

Salem also off the fields into 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?
