Lets hope not.

I still hold out hope, has limitless skill and if he can get fit and do 90% of pre-season (which hasn’t commenced yet) I think he will be an asset, but yep you are correct, could be. 

Although chances of a 2nd round pick being a bust are much higher, statistically speaking anyway, so trying to focus on up side :)

Sorry.. seeing the words low kick and Viney in same passage still hurts far far too much!

Assume you are referring to the last couple of minutes against the baggers 2023.

I almost cried, but I had the foster lad, so it was the stiff upper lip.  Fat too much.

Todays Training reports kicked off by WayneWussell, Winter Dan, Ditcha, Fritta and Turner, Roost it, Katrina and Ghost Writer, Kev plus all other posters has been another fabulous feast of footy information and pic’s as well. Loved every bit of it and distracted me from fretting about the Draft.

Unsure that is fair... we dont know what situ is, he may not be right or was told to hold-off, lets just wait and see!

Fair enough, hope you’re right👍

Pup has filled out too. Liked his evasiveness, playmaking, good low kicks ( bit of Jagga about him).

Good low kicks - heard a few other mentions of that too❤️.  Can we teach old dogs new tricks?  It did look like that in the first few games of 2024 then generally reverted to "kick it long and high to a pack".

Would’ve love for McAdam to be putting the effort in early, was really unfit last year.

Pretty disappointing, not sure how invested he is.

Hope I’m proven wrong

He does need to either commit 100% or retire now.  (In fairness he may have committed already but not be back in town just yet.)

How has Howes been going? Hasn't been mentioned much mainly Jefferson and Bowey.

Today Howes was running laps of the oval.

To my knowledge based on the reports to date Harry has not been present at any of the preseason sessions.

 He was in the same draft year at Bowey & Laurie so not sure why he is not required but it could be because he was listed with the Lions and they finished the season 5 weeks later than us he might not be required/allowed to start training until a certain date.

Harry Sharp has not been at training so far. I suspect that Demonland is right that Brisbane finished later, and therefore Harry Sharp will start later.

Thatll be it, he will need to have his mandatory 8 week or whatever it is break. They finished 5 weeks after us so he's probably a few weeks away yet.
