Yes, thanks Ghosty, I figured it out, but I appreciate your assistance.

Yes, I can only see the last few I pasted. I have re-posted earlier pics and they were around for a while before also disappearing. I don’t know if someone objects to me taking pics… It hasn’t been an issue in the past… same phone, same me, same Gosch’s… I’ll continue to offer my pics when I attend. In the end, I’m in a position to be there and I know others appreciate these snippets from pre-season training.

Bannon is one of the best kick for goals on the run in the comp. Yes, outside run is her go! HFF, move up as far as HBF, on occasions, for the run back to goal. I agree, she is not a key forward (does not have the aerial skills or body on body skills). Unfortunately, she doesn’t seem to have trained for quick bursts or long runs as in previous years. My one concession is that she still exhibits goal sense and bobs up when a goal is needed.

Those I didn’t see… May, Turner, Max, Mihochek, Steele, Langdon, Laurie, Bowey, Melksham, McAdam, Rivers, Campbell, Sharp, Kosie.

There are different start and finish points for each group. The different coloured lines are to spread the traffic and make it easier to see what the order is in each group

Thanks DL… done!

If I could work out how to empty the media cache I would post a few pics of the run

Don’t think Sharp ran

Tim Lamb and Jason Taylor working the phones throughout the session. At least one lengthy conference away from the group

Round 19 2024, to be exact

Don't forget, at this time in the previous pre-season Kolt was on a greatly reduced program. Can't remember if it was back related or a foot issue. He came back to the team with this disadvantage. By seasons end he was playing solid football for Casey. With an ounce of luck, he will get through this pre-season injury free, ready to roll.

Training today was more laid-back than Monday. More about patterns for quick transfer than intense pressure on the ball-carrier. They did do a two-lap time trial. Sharpie was once again the standout in his group, with Tholstrup not too far behind. I noticed that Berry was content to bring up the rear, as he manages his transfer to the elite level.

Had the good fortune to have a chat with Kingy today. He wandered over to the boundary line when he finished putting out the cones for the next activity. My first impressions were that he was personable, straightforward and very tall. He said that training wouldn’t be too intensive in the first few sessions, as the full list joined the group. I mentioned that it was good to see Brodie and AMW progressing so well. He said Brodie was busting to join the main group and it was a battle to hold AMW back until Christmas. I asked him what his first impressions of the training group were. He said he was impressed with the overall fitness. He singled out the Roo, saying he had lost kilos but gained strength. We both agreed that ‘the current # 4’ (Harvey) was set to take the next step. He said that Jai Culley was in the best three on the track on Monday. A few other enthusiastic observers joined in the conversation. He also agreed that Windsor was a standout in the first session. One notable comment he made was about putting up the ‘team’ for round 1 for the players... there were no names on the list!

You would have to have been at pre-season training to know

I think it's called maturing! Add growing confidence, self-awareness, body growth, developing strength etc. Who would have thought an athlete going from 19 to 20 would actually get better... Work it out!

Impressions from first session. Jai Culley is the real deal Jefferson was surprisingly agile and active in the in-close handball comp Roo looked full of confidence Lever moved freely Langford even better than before Windsor cut it up in running half back role… disposal as before Petty looked poised Berry confident in traffic
