Can't recall seeing Mitch Hannan there today either.

I wouldn't mind Adem Yze returning to the fold. Bring back that Yze Magic.

I was stunned by the amount of training and support staff at the session. We mean business and aint a two bit club no more.

Yes I can confirm that a gentleman matching Neil Craig's description was talking to Todd Viney on the boundary line for most of the session.

It was either that or getting charred in the Perth Sun. Was not going to buy Eagles or even worse Dockers branded sunscreen. I'd rather burn.

Remaining players doing run throughs to finish off the session.

I agree. Also wearing the sunscreen that I purchased at the hotel in Perth and have only worn at that game.

Goal kicking practice not helped by the wind. Some of the backs though have slotted some nice goals on the snap. Salem the best of the bunch.

There are a lot of Japanese tourists watching Victory and Honda on the oval next door.

Forwards and backs split again in same groups as before. Forward and backs doing skill drills ending with kicker having a shot for goal on the run. Smaller group of the three forwards in Joel Smith, Weideman and Keilty having set shots at goal.

Goody showing no signs of fame fatigue after appearing on the Ellen Show as Natalie Portman's plus one.

Wagner J kicking spot on.

Maynard vicious in pink. Great tackling.

Bigger pink vest keepings off drill. Spargo showing fantastic pressure in pink.

Most of the rehab group have gone inside.

TMac not sighted today.

Hunt and Melk running laps with trainer as pacesetter. Never seen a pacesetter at Dees training before. Kudos MFC.

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).
