My remote drone informs me that Tholstrup and Mentha are also there Andy...

At training this morning, and just getting a really good vibe about Culley.. he looks great and has an undeniable air of meaning business about him

Correct

Hand balling drill running fast in waves of 3 spread out and hand balling to the guy on either side ahead of him running towards goal.

Full length ground Match SIM drill

Some nice skills on show.

And just as I say that a couple of howlers. Got to love the preseason. Greatest time of the year. 

Henderson has joined the Match SIM drill so AMW the only rehabber. Jogging laps.

How's Kosi? Did he have a good break? Is he raring to go for preseason?

The drone say "Fit as a Fiddle!"

I have high hopes for Culley this season. Doubt the club would be assigning the guernsey of a club legend to just anybody.

Lot of very quick ball movement. 

Kozzy ELECTRIC wearing the pink vest as the swingman playing for both teams in the middle. 

Skills sublime.

At the same time?

More seriously, was it clear to the players which side he was on or was it some sort of surprise and the players had to work it out from the way he moved?

Interestingly Fritsch playing more on the wing/half back as a link player on the wing utilizing his kicking skills. 

Could just be for lack of numbers and personnel as the two key (only) forwards at either end are JVR/Jefferson & Kentfield/Heath. 

Split into 3 different groups for drills and rotating the groups through each one  

1. Jared Rivers kicking the ball high up to a one on one contest. Some good matchups. TMAC/JVR, TMac/Heath, Lindsay/Langford.

2. Keepings off handball drill with 5 on 2. 

3. One on one tackling drill. 

Windsor doing some work away from the 3 groups with a trainer testing out something with his lateral movement. Doesn’t look too concerned.
