Laurie just kneed Chandler in a marking contest after too much hang time from Fullarton kick

Jefferson Airplane!

Boys are looking exhausted, hot out there!

Knuckles just limped off, doesn’t look good

edit: he’s bearing weight now. Walking freely. They’re taking him for scans

I have Laurie down as the smokie that will surprise many this year. Uses the ball well, has some evasive skills and is getting more comfortable at this level.

It's been a long time coming but its now or never for him.

Great contested work by AMW but sore shoulder after it. Max puts the heat on Langford and comes out the winner. Adams redeemed with good intercepts and well placed long kicks.

Time for me to go. I’ll add a few things later.

Shane-o is done for the day. No he’s not injured, he’s “crook in the guts” and before anyone pipes up, he was legitimately unwell, I saw him throwing up at the boundary. 

Same difference not fit enough too much goes wrong How could you be certain of selecting him for a GF on Thursday and he be crook sick injured or any other malaise that is around to keep him pout if playing? 

Seriously he should go round in a bubble. Get him to go in I am a celebrity get me out of here and do all the eating weird trials to acclimatise to real life. 

OR 

Survivor for toughening up his body and attitude. 

Over to you Ghostwriter what excuse have you got this time?

Bucket list item ticked off today.  First training attendance.  Very excited!

If you don't write a 10 page report with individual dossiers of players performance, highlights of the day, goodys gameplan and an up-to-date injury list... did you even really go to training?

The return from the Christmas break has been carnage.

Put our best players in a yellow cap and be done with it. We’re not supposed to use their limbs to knock the house down

It seems that way for all the clubs, and based on reports, we've come through reasonably unscathed (by comparison). I wonder if the AFLPA will be convinced to reduce the xmas break from 3 weeks down to 2 weeks or 10 days. Ultimately, it will benefit the players as it will likely reduce soft tissue injuries.

I attended some of the training session this morning. Looked like they were practising some drills about near the end of games. Trac looks very good, and not far away from joining main training. Spargo is getting closer to doing more training. Judd McVee was helped off the ground with a leg injury. Hopefully scans find no serious damage.

The mood is sky-high! The energy is electric. It’s such a great place to be this morning, more so than usual. I can even hear a couple of the boys singing along with the music in the tent. In case anyone is wondering, the song is called “Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom” by Venga Boys (I had to Shazam it). 

Year 6 disco banger, or maybe that should be boomer? 

 

Vines is at a wedding. Salo isn’t well but it’s nothing serious…. another crook in the guts by the sound of it.

He wasn’t “carted” off the field. He limped off. Jacob our club doctor said it’s not as bad as it looked anyways.
