Temp not as much a factor as the wind. Having said that I'm in the shade.

Split into two groups now and doing keepings off type drills and interchanging every few minutes which players are in the pink tops. 6 or 7 against 3 so the pinks have to work hard.

Noticed that too but before that seemed to be running without any issues. Assume it's a niggle but I'm wearing my unlucky hat purchased before the Prelim so .... well ... MFCSS.

Keilty looks good on a lead admittedly without pressure. Most players hitting him front and centre also admittedly without pressure.

All fit and present players exchanging as forwards or backs in the drill.

Drills simulating getting the ball out of defence with either Keilty or J Smith as leading target (without pressure from a defender).

Vanders solo jogging also at a quick pace.

Harmesy running laps at quick pace too now.

All rehab kicking balls around and doing non contact drills.

Clarry running laps solo at a quick pace.

Brayshaw just sitting in the shade on the boundary.

Harmes, Stretch, Viney, Vanders, Melk, Hunt, T Smith in rehab group.

Baker jogging with a younger player.

OMac, Jetta and Petracca running laps at quick pace.

Can confirm that Frosty has this hat in white.

Backs Frost, Wagner J, Lewis, Salem, Hibberd, Petty, Maynard. Forwards Weideman, Keilty, NealBullen, Smith J, Garlett, Spargo, Fritsch, JKH. REHAB on other side with no numbers but assume it is the rest minus the new trades and recruits and Max and Jones who are all in the NT.

I'm heading off to training this morning. Got the hat, the sunscreen, the camera. Hope I don't melt.

Goody's got a lot of catching up to do. ?

Height matters little if you can't mark or convert into goals or aren't strong enough to out-muscle an opponent whether you are forward or back. A slightly shorter player might be stronger and have a better leap or be more mobile or have more endurance. Pure height is not necessarily an advantage.

I wish all our games were Friday night and we win and I can enjoy the weekend. Other than that my preference is Saturday day, Saturday night, Sunday 1pm. Hated the Sunday 4:40pm slots. I have no opinion of Thursday night but have no problem with them as long as we have a sufficient break prior to it.

Would love to know how this list compares to other clubs at this stage.

Agree with this. He'll play as a forward, do some rucking in forward ruck situations such as ball ups deep in the forward line and throw ins. Might do some relief ruck work. No need to throw him to the wolves. He's a project player blessed to be learning the craft from Stafford and Max and as an understudy to Pruessy.

You decide. Actual size comparison.
