Hawks and north to fall and both to miss the 8

Dees to rise and finish top 6

not sure on the other team to rise to make the 8, pies, saints or the smokey the Suns

dont think there will be as much movement over the ladder as last year  

Couldn't see Oliver mentioned already

not a bad wrap for the kid!

Clayton’s a high talent and as the summer’s unfolded, you notice him more and more in drills at training. His ground play and ability to extract the ball are quite extraordinary for a young player. At the moment, we’re just adding different levels of fitness to him and some education around what to do when he’s not near the ball. By gee, when he’s near the ball – look out! He wins it more often than not.

Thanks Wussell, you have made my monday bearable

far out I cant wait to see Petracca, Salem, Gus and Oliver strut their stuff this year!

Zero.

a few will be traded out by the club though. Everyone wants to be aboard the Dee Train

as far as scope for improvement goes - I think Frost will become a very important backman and rebounder at pace

my other tip to step up is Wagner,

Jonesy was reportedly happy to have "such a nice 2 hour sleep" on the camp as he's been getting bugger all with two kids under 2

thanks WW

didn't know Tyson hurt his knee.  from what you discussed, worst case might be a month off full training for a scope?

T Mac sets the standard for us big time.  aside from Viney and Jones, he is the one that pushes the physical standards. he is 100% committed and does whatever he can to be fit, strong and as good a footballer as he can be - he wasn't blessed with the skills but he is getting everything out of himself.

and for the all the jokes and smashed avos, Gawn is impressing me massively. so driven to succeed! his step up in fittness from 2015 to 2016 was huge and if he improves again, he'll kick 30+ goals and lead the league for contested marks

practice matches next month

and then the real stuff the month after!!!

I'M EXCITED!!!

Fyfe is the best player in the league imo so you'd obviously love to have him if he fit in the cap with no future issues 

He would be no saviour but would make us a much better team. 

3rd Tall is pederson.

love his physicality, his marking is very good and he brings the ball to ground. And he can ruck. would love him to have an injury free run.

the others can earn their spot at Casey

Still true but. 

He is generally an accurate set-shot. His conversion rate over his two years are the facts. 

But yeh it sounds odd.

Can't wait for Planet Earth II to drop.

41 goals to 33 behinds suggests he was not an accurate set shot this year.  Average would be a better word

i dont think 1.7M is that much. certainly a high pressure job where you are universally hated regardless of how well you do. dont forget Roosey was on 1.5 (not comparing their worth or the job they did, just for salary comparison)

the ceo for the company i work for, got double that amount last year in bonuses alone!

He lowered the price of Chips at Etihad by 50c!!

done his job

You may need to get to training and have a word with Goody and Macca, during the drills he is hardly on the end of the chain, he is part of it, they are utilising his excellent field kicking skills on both sides

sounds like it!  I should be able to make it down tomorrow

76 goals 39 pts for Jesse in 2017

Watts, Tracc, Lewis and Kent will be hitting him up every time

screw all this roaming up the ground talk! let him kick goals

When kicking became king the focus was to develop a weapon on your preferred. NP was dropped out of the equation.

madness!  it is possible to do both when its your full time job

I'll be putting some pics on Instagram later

Trac was mainly training with the forward group again today, he is another one that looks better and better each session

They had them practicing non preferred goalkicking on the move today, some of the efforts were 'interesting'

Of the other 'wounded' both Tommy Mc and Pedo did a lot of the session but no contact work of course

Mitch King did bits and pieces, reckons at least another few weeks away from full training

Only two in rehab group Mitch Hannan and Luke from the Academy.

Melksham Brayshaw and Wagner walked some laps, did a bit of handball and left

 

im still staggered that these elite juniors that come through cant kick on their NP.  what kind of junior coaches would they have they wouldn't include NP kicking at training? you want to be at the very least servicable on your NP

amateur stuff

Free agency is pretty much pointless at this stage.  We just saw plenty of players move clubs whether under contract or not. Gibbs is the only one that didnt get where he wanted to go due to the Crows being tight

Got there at 12, stayed for 45 minutes. It was very warm! Robbo was hosting a touring group, presumably the draftees families.

Rehab: Tom Mc, Pedda, Wagner, King, Hannan, Flippers

Not sighted: JKH, the prince.

Garland had some tape on a knee but was moving fine. Ben Ken had his forearm padded.

Viney, Trengove and Vanders were back in the main group.

 

you beauty!   carn Trenners!

thanks for the reports all.  you're all legends

The DEE-Train cannot be stopped

could see Martin leaving Tiges. he shopped himself around last time but no takers

I reckon there would be takers now

bloody immigrants! what now we have to build a wall around Brazil too?  

(tongue in cheek - I am an immigrant)

Great story thanks for sharing.

Big Gawny is a must

assuming he can fit in!
