And some slightly unhinged cheer squad nuffie met him before any of the players did. He got a warm welcome hug from her and now he’s probs questioning the draft results 😅

PLAYERS PRESENT:

JVR, Langford, Windsor, Mihocek, Lever, CJ, Gawn, Kolt, Culley, Laurie, Bowey, Lindsay, Jefferson, Howes, Adams, Sharp, Sparrow, Petty, Kozzy, Chandler, Mentha, Campbell, Heath, Kentfield, Henderson, Berry, Taylor, Johnson

PLAYERS ABSENT:

May, Salem TMac, Melksham*, Langdon, Viney, Turner, McAdam, Rivers, Fritsch

* POSTSCRIPT:

Jake Melksham was a late arrival and joined in some drills after warming up.

Ricky Mentha has a mild hamstring niggle as well as a mild achilles niggle. I told him he needs to soak in a Radox bath and he looked at me like I’d sprouted a second head.

They are in the red flame kit, some don’t have numbers… Lindsay for example.

No Latrelle Pickett? Assuming he’s home packing then! Love Taylor couldn’t believe he got thru.. love your work GW as always

JT, though. Aka Cheshire Cat. He’s so relaxed and content. He said we were always getting Trelly and he doesn’t know why everyone’s making such a deal of it. Cheeky bugger. I’ve never seen him smile so much.

Trelly’s not here but just hearing Koz talk about him is enough for me. Koz is absolutely stoked. He’s walking on flippin air.

Warm up drill with player long kicking from half back to a player in the middle and then run past for the handball to kick to a player on half forward. 

Xavier Taylor looks composed marking and kicking well. 

Henderson jogging with a noticeable limp, right ankle perhaps

I've heard enough..... Round 1 locked in for XT. 🤣

Couple players peeling away from the main drill to train separately. 

Campbell, Mihocek, Taylor & AMW

End to end drill with quick handballs through the middle before kicking to key forwards in JVR, Mihocek, Kentfield & Jefferson.

Mihocek & Campbell have joined the main group. Taylor watching the drill from the sidelines.

Jiath moves impressively in end to end stuff. Just gave Culley a ‘don’t argue’ that put him on his back!

Taylor has joined the main drill.

Ball in at the pocket ar one end then working it quickly to a couple key forwards at the other. Attacking team outnumbering defenders roughly 10 to 4. Very quick movement with the next play starting as soon as the deepest forward gets it, plenty of running in this one. The got players resting on the sidelines and swapping in every few plays but the seem absolutely buggered when they come off.

Lever seems to be over his foot problems

Prepare for your houses to be trained down. Taylor just collected a ground ball sold some candy whilst moving laterally through traffic gave off a hand ball kept running and received it back before pin point kicking it long down field.

Such fast ball movement on display. Lot of controlled chaos ball.

Kozzy, Culley, Windsor & Langford all impressing through the middle of the ground.

The incredible Melk has arrived and working separately with a trainer doing some warmups. Not sure whether he will join the man group or do his own separate program.
