Totally forgivable off the superior use of 'whomever'. Ghosty can continue the Chicago drug dealer argot provided she serves up a whomever or whomsoever occasionally.

Anyway, my award for the most outstanding physical specimen at training goes to TMac.

He looks even more of a million dollars than I’ve ever seen him before.

It’s such a shame that he’s nearer the end of his career than the beginning but kudos for his dedication and application.

He laid some bone crunching tackles today too. He has come to play.

So basically more than 40% of the current squad can't be [censored]. What's their excuse?

In jest? I'm sure some coaches and players have pushed too hard and had it backfire. Maybe some of these players could've turned up as moral support. But Goody burned out. It's not a good idea for players to do so too

Didnt know where to out this, but from Mondays session.

Would want to improve his kicking considerably. Particularly his round the corner grubber kick.

Definitely. For such a beautiful looking kick, he’s very hit and miss with his field kicking when in transition - either beautifully executed or turnover.

It’s absolutely amazing to me that west coast who have about 4 talented players let jai culley go.

Is Steven May training yet?

Surely right? He’s on the outter. Out of touch and out of shape. Probably could use all pre-season.

I'm sorry to hear about your unpleasant medical condition. Have to tried eating fertilised sparrow eggs?

Does all this make 2026 or 2025 anno rex primum? Oh noooooo, it's the millenial date debate all over again!

also feel the need to reiterate that Max Heath is a behemoth of a man!

Thanks to all track watchers

Particularly interested in how Kolt, Luker and smaller Max are performing.

Please, leave Sparrow and his wife's family planning in their hands. I'm happy to hear how he's training , but this is TMI. 😂

Another big thanks to Demonland, Ghostwriter, Harvey Wallbanger, joeboy, BLNWBA and all posters and special comments, it’s great to be able to read through all the posts and pick up the vibes hindsight’s and excitement of the preseason and to be back home. Really enjoying the sounds of the sims, player performance, getting a feel for the changes and mood of the group plus revitalised, positive supporter group, loving it.

Had a watch on him Wednesday.

In a drill while the ground was still dewy (slippery), Heath had an easy shot for goal that went sideways off the boot. Loved his response, laughed and went to the back of the queue.

In the sims he was clean when handling the ball (positioned himself well, good read of the plays) and had a kick that went straight through the sticks.

My intial thoughts were, he may need some development, then the skills I saw, showed that his craft is already developing.

Little Max will go alright.

I saw someone walking around with a barbecue starter, behind the southern goal posts at Goschs during training, so we are not far away.
