McAdam (wearing #27) is taking part in the Match SIM

How’s he moving? Hard coming back form an Achilles injury

Windsor everywhere.

Max, Langford, Langdon, Turner and Melksham doing grappling work on the other oval.

May now jogging faster laps.

Pickett, Fritsch and Salem were the standouts of the half field drill.

In to full ground sim now and JVR has found the ball 4 times on the half forward line. 1 behind, 2 successful inside 50 kicks, 1 picked off.

The Campbell, Riv , Windsor, Steele midfield on top

Toby Sinnema looks like he belongs. As does the Sudanese fella whoever he is.

I am guessing this is more to do with fitness issue..?

Mihocek, Viney, Matthews, CJ, Henderson, AMW & Lindsay all doing circuit work in the sheds.

End of First Period:

BLUE: 3.4.22

WHITE: 1.0.6

Taylor has taken some great courageous marks. Can definitely play tall and small.

Campbell outbodying Heath in ruck contests.

Forwards:

BLUE: JVR, Kentfield, White, Laurie Mentha

WHITE: Jefferson, Fritsch, AJ, Trelly, Kolt (2nd period).

Sounds like Windsor is having an epic pre-season. With injury seemingly behind him I'm looking forward to seeing him next year in his 3rd season.

Defenders:

BLUE: Lever Salem Petty Taylor Deakyn Smith

WHITE: TMac Berry Howes

Trelly tried to take on Salem but was taken down in a beautiful tackle.

Windsor lace out to JVR on a beautiful lead. Goal. More of this in 2026.

Kozzy is a ball magnet. Got a hardball get on the wing, sold candy, left others in his wake, weighted a nice pass to a train-on, kept running got the handball back and drilled a goal on the run from outside 50.

Pro: Windsor

Con: Sharp just marked on the wing, took off around Heath, took 4 bounces, burnt the entire open forward line and got run down by Heath and turned it over. Unfortunately King seems to be a nice human being because I wouldn’t send him home.

End of 2nd Period

BLUE: 5.6.36

WHITE: 3.2.20

Reg Taylor’s first instinct to counter attack with fast feet is very real and creates great transition. Plenty for him to work on but it’s always nice to see someone’s best attribute look legit

He’s being rotated heavily on and off. Saw him involved in one very nice piece of play. Seems to be moving fine.

Out on the other oval are Max, Langers, Disco, Melky and the Bison are with Keith the trainer doing a wrestling drill. One player lies on his back with another player lying on top of him. Keith yells out Go! and the player underneath has to throw the other guy off. Melky pinned Max down successfully and kept him down. Max was not happy Jan. 😁

Now these same players are practicing grappling one-on-one in a marking contest. Very serious stuff. It’s like they’re being instructed to grapple hard but without running a risk of giving away a free.

He’s certainly not afraid to take the game on. I really like what I’ve seen.

Love this - you can’t teach instinct!

Maysie has been running laps this whole time. Every now and again he stops and gets work on lower back/upper glute from the physio

McAdam playing on the wing against Chandler.

Later Edit: It was not McAdam but Riley Bonner.
