Whispering Jack and I will be heading down to Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you our observations of this mornings Preseason Training session.

Let us know if there is any player in particular you want us to report our observations on. Often we tend to focus on the new guys and unintentionally forget some of the others.

📆  Friday, December 5
⏰ 10am - 12pm
📍 Gosch's Paddock
🏃‍♂️ Session type: Pre-season training 

If anyone has any information on the dates and times of next week sessions it would be greatly appreciated.

Similarly, if you want to know who’s had a haircut or what a particular player eats for brekkie, I’m yer gal 🙃

Tholstrup.

Haven't heard much so far and really needs a big year next year.

Hoping to see him take the next step as a half forward, midfielder.

Sparrow and Laurie would be two who I’m interested to hear about

I said in an earlier training thread that both have struggled for impact in the half fwd role at AFL level, but could have another level to go to if they’re afforded more midfield minutes in a new gameplan under King

Any observations are much appreciated!

Culley, Kolt, XT, Onley pls

Now that we’ve restocked with HB prospects, I hope that Windsor rejoins our midfield group in ‘26. Is this where he’s training?

Curious to see how Harvey Langford is travelling

Interested in our three young fwd’s, JvR, Jeffo and Luker. Thanks.

Ricky Lever first player to arrive

Yep same trio! Plus BLUNDERBUS HEATH THE BOHEMOTH!

Windsor getting back to his first year impact would make a huge difference, he seems to be getting plenty of praise so far.

Luker as well, if he could get a proper pre season in and leapfrog Jeffo and start putting heat on JVR, we’d be in great shape.

Viney limped over from the Bubble Dome sans training guernsey.

Have not heard anything regarding AJ during this preseason. Is he alive?

Reece Conca has had a haircut. It was thick and collar-length but now it’s quite short and it looks great.

You’re welcome 😊

Lingers please, my partner and daughter are interested in his haircut (preferably lack thereof) and I am interested if he remains evergreen and swift.

Present

Steven May, Jacob van Rooyen, Christian Salem, Harvey Langford, Xavier Lindsay, Caleb Windsor, Jack Viney (in rehab),  Jake Lever, Jack Steele, Daniel Turner, Max Gawn, Koltyn Tholstrup, Jai Culley, Changkuoth Jiath, Ed Langdon, Bailey Laurie, Jake Melksham, Xavier Taylor, Thomas Matthews, Matt Jefferson, Blake Howes, Shane McAdam, Trent Rivers, Tom McDonald, Jed Adams , Max Heath, Brody Mihocek, Tom Campbell, Harry Sharp, Bayley Fritsch, Tom Sparrow, Latrelle Sumner-Pickett, Kalani White, Harry Petty, Kysaiah Pickett, Kade Chandler, Oscar Berry, Ricky Mentha Jnr, Riley Onley, Aidan Johnson, Jack Henderson (in rehab), Luker Kentfield and Andy Moniz-Wakefield

Absent

Jake Bowey (update - arrived and in rehab)

Players going through various warm up exercises. 

Henderson and Viney handballing to each other. Viney not moving very well.

McAdam started with the group doing warmups but has come to the shed to take off the boots and put the runners on. 

Interested to see where the line up Sparrow and if King is going to waste Windsor on a HBF again next year like he was wasted this year. (if they do match sim sort of drills)

Melksham also appears to be amongst the rehabbers as is Matthews. 

Rehab:

Viney, Matthews, Melksham, McAdam & Henderson

Melksham jogging laps. 

McAdam & Matthews doing exercises with a trainer. 

Viney & Henderson on the bikes. 

Main group still doing warm up run throughs. 

TBH McAdam should only be mentioned when he finally (if ever) gets out of the rehab group.

Otherwise we all know he lives in the rehab group, he has his own area in the medical room.
