When the ball spills the ball is swooped on and kicked into a contest (forward on forward) in the forward line.

Boundary throw in simulation drill with small forwards like Spargo, Nibbler and Chandler also involved with the Mids and wingers. Verral getting a lesson in ruck craft from the Master Max.

Brown and Dunstan have hit the gym.

Next drill also starts with a kick to a one on one contest deep in the forward line. When the ball spills 4 players run in from different directions (2 in white and 2 in blue). Whoever won the spill would have a quick snap for goal.

Full length ground drill starts with a kick to a one on one contest. If the ball spills a player swoops in and 4 players run down the field almost in a line and kick to a contest at the other end and the drill begins again the other direction.

Brown and Taj playing kick to kick on the boundary. Dunstan jogging between a set of cones set up in a zig zag pattern.

Trainer is throwing the foot at Fritsch to catch it in one hand whilst he is standing/balancing on one leg (the right one).

I’ll echo what other have said about Chandler over the preseason he is certainly putting his hand up for a call up.

Kye Turner is wearing number 33. New number perhaps?

In my non-medical opinion Fritsch may have a hip (flexor) issue. Any physios can you confirm that the exercises I poorly described could confirm this?

I will note that disposal has been very sharp. Trac’s long kicking is like a laser guided missile.

The field has been divided length ways down the middle and there are two separate match SIMs ( for want of a better description) without contact with 2 players in yellow vests playing for both teams. Goal is keepings off down the length of the field to kick a goal.

Fritsch doing side crab walks Wiley the trainer pulls on the Theraband around his waist.

One of the groups is not doing a half ground match SIM sans contact. Players have reversible training jumpers and that are blue on one side and white on the other for easy changing.

Fritsch walking doing leg raisers whilst the trainer is pulling a theraband which is around his waist. He looks to be in mild discomfort.

Salem now jogging laps. Trac noticed and clapped saying “Go Salo”.

Split into two groups. Mix of forwards, Mids and Defenders in each group. Ben Brown not training just having shots for goal from different angles and distances.

Dunstan slow/medium jogging along the boundary. Melksham doing the same at a slightly quicker pace.

Fritsch now walking knee raisers with arms raised in the air with the medicos. Now doing walking lunges whilst twisting side to side when lunging.

Yes warming up with the defenders.

Doing some hand balls with Salem. No visible strapping on legs. Doesn’t look like he is limping.

Split into 3 groups for wam ups. Mids, Backs and Forwards. No surprises except Kozzy & Smith with Forwards. Gus with defence.

Fritsch and Salem are not training at all. Salem for obvious reasons. Not sure about Fritsch.

Joel Smith looks like he is back training with the main group.
