Well … that’s your history lesson about the preseason so far.

Of course, most of the above has already been covered in our own preseason training threads.

 Jolly well posited; it shows, despite the recurring argy-bargy from some contributors, the serious track watchers and amateur journalists have been doing a phabulous job for DL participants so far this pre-season. Thanks, guys for your efforts of which so many of us are eternally grateful.

Fritsch is not kicking in the short pass to lead activity. Salem is running with him and he hands it off

Lever, McAdam, Spargo & Lindsay in rehab

Interesting that Fritsch isn't in the rehab group. He didn't do the time trial the other day (neither did Max or Campbell) and isn't doing everything in the main sessions.

Wonder what the situation is here? @Ghostwriter any insight?

Not great seeing McAdam in rehab... from what I wonder

Feels like since 2021 Fritsch has been consistently unable to complete full pre seasons

A little late on this, but haven’t seen K White

Haven’t seen Boy George this morning

According to Richo Roy can’t train with us because the paperwork which was expected to be completed by today isn’t as yet.

Also we in fact DON’T have any list spots remaining. The only way Roy can play for us is if someone gets injured.

The ‘paperwork’ actually is signing up for Casey, necessary for him to train with us.

Richo said some clubs have two picks, some have one, some might wanna try to pick him up in the midyear draft. We are “very keen” to sign him.

He’s training with the AFL Academy today & Friday. He’ll be back here at Gosch’s next Mond, Weds and Friday.

Yes I do know what’s going on with him but understandably I can’t discuss it unless one of the staff talks about it in which case I could quote them.

We do have 1 cat b list spot but as discussed Roy wouldn’t qualify as a category b rookie which makes sense.

 

I hope we don’t sign him simply because that’ll mean we stay long term injury free

Does he have anxiety around it?

a 2KM time trial is not always a the only indicator of running ability, particularly in this game where patterns (IQ) are as important as aerobic reach.

Great to see that you're back wc....oh....I mean Ghostwriter.

How's McAdam training?

[Ghostwriter 5,487]

Ricky Lever is on a stationary bike on the boundary absolutely barking at the top of his voice at the boys. He’s even scaring me 😅

Nicknames: Aidan is AJ, Xavier is X, Shane Mc is Shano. Someone was up all night thinking up those creative  masterpieces 😂

Clarrie’s body… his words: “nah I’m not in good shape, I’m a fat [censored]”

What injury is McAdam recovering from?

He’s one on one with Keith, a physio. Running laps. Now he’s practicing set shots. 
 

Just spoke with Shane. He’s on the stationary bike now. He’s on an individual program which focuses on fitness. Purely and simply, fitness. Building his tank.

Clarrie done for the day.

Clarry back to the rooms at 11.18.  Not injured. Just looked cooked.

You can't post a statement like that on Demonland without any other context.

It’s still three months to the season start. May just have a bug. Hang loose.

Oh I have a dozen lines to answer! However discretion is the better part of valour!
