I wonder if there’s a link between Goodwin confirming Petty will start in defence round 1 and Lever’s rehab?

He is back in the main group now for warmups. Will keep an eye out to see if he does all the session in that group or goes back to rehab for the contact stuff.

I’m not an investigative reporter. That is @Ghostwriter’s job.

Roy George does look nice in the 23

[Demonland 74,471]

Half the boys doing a drill utilizing the stationary metal men (don’t know what they’re called) where they receive the ball and have to weave through two of them and then have one of the assistant coaches apply closing pressure while they snap for goal. They then keep running towards goal where they receive a ground ball and have to baulk another stationary metal man and snap for goal again.

Are we training alphabetically now?

[Demonland 74,471]

Lever and Lindsay have rejoined the main group for the ball movement drill. Obviously they're not up to the sprints yet but lighter running/kicking is fine. 

[DeeSpencer 26,692]

Full ground cone to cone drill now but the design is half back handball receiver in the corridor followed by a long diagonal switch to a fat side wing runner.
