Where's Riv?

One of a number of non-1st-4th years not present.

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.

I am sure we will coach all of that out of him before games kick off. No wait it's a new era 😁

Wheels told me this interesting story…

JT encouraged everyone to believe that Latrelle would be a later pick, knowing all along we were gonna take him early. He had heard Essendon were considering taking him with a later pick. When we took XT with pick 11, Essendon and GWS and whoever else was interested thought that we mustn’t be that keen on Latrelle or we would’ve taken him at the first opportunity. Essendon then thought cool we’ll get him instead. Then the JT hammer came down on everyone and we took Latrelle.

The funny part is that wheels and Kozzie had to hide in the carpark until just before the Latrelle pick was announced because anyone catching sight of Kozzie would’ve been sus as to why he was there. Wheels said the AFL helped our club out by agreeing to not list Kozzie as a jumper presenter (again, dead giveaway) and facilitated the sneaking in of Kozzie unnoticed.

I mean, I knew JT was a wizard but this is next level!

Does it look like Windsor is being used mainly in the midfield or half back? Thanks

Both. Hard to accurately gauge it though as not all listed players are present and therefore the end to end drills and "match SIMs" are less structured than they will be in a week or two. He, as a few others like Kolt, Culley, Langford and Bowey seem to always be in positions to be used as the link man across half back or in the middle.

As has also been noted there is a lot of quick ball movement and either long handballs to a guy running forward or hand balls amongst players running in waves that it can also be hard to gauge exact positions.

Match SIM

Petty playing as a defender.

Love this time of year,

We can all be positive and happy.

These reports do make me smile and I end up with my membership despite being so disappointed last time.

So thanks to the track watchers you have done your job superbly .

Amen to that!

Another big thanks to Demonland, Ghostwriter, waynewussell, ClaNiKo, Kev, all posters and special comments great reports fast and furious this morning. Sounds like everyone is up and about, great that Taylor was there this morning but no mention of Steele. Will miss these reports next week when they are on camp at Bright. Hopefully the club will keep us informed.

Anyone who lives in that part of Vic can make their way to training. Days and times are TBC and idk the location because the person with whom I was speaking doesn’t know either. He said he just gets on the bus and is taken there. I’m thinking there can’t be too many grounds in Bright, surely.

Got nothing against the guy but with 2/3 draftees this week small forwards, looks like its going to be even harder for Henderson to get a look in next year. Does he have enough upside to still make it?

Emphatic NO

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 😅

Nah! First clause in his contract mentioned this.

Umm, once we took XT , with the very next pick, wasn't it already too late for any other club to 'intercept'? Certainly if the enemy saw Kosi's face at #5 they could have 'stolen' LSP. But surely not once we had the floor for our own consecutive 'Tracc' picks. No?

Well, not wanting to be unkind, but at his first hit out, Taylor looks like a boy amongst men! He could still be hung over from draft night!

Spargo made a good decision to leave

Competition for spots in the fwd line and the backline should be excellent

Sigh. I just knew someone would take me to task for this. Didn’t expect it to be you, though.

I relayed exactly what Wheels told me. Any doubts or questions should be directed his way.

I wasnt taking anyone to task. I like the story. I just know there's a huge amount of stuff I don't know and that possibly I missed something about the draft process. There was no vitriol in my post.
