Well, not wanting to be unkind, but at his first hit out, Taylor looks like a boy amongst men! He could still be hung over from draft night!

Watching the 1 on 1 marking duels was interesting. Sparrow too strong for Sharp, Culley and Lever 50/50, Petty got the better of Kentfield, Jiath and Langford 50/50, AJ did well against taller Heath.

Lever seems to be over his foot problems

Jiath moves impressively in end to end stuff. Just gave Culley a ‘don’t argue’ that put him on his back!

Henderson jogging with a noticeable limp, right ankle perhaps

They are in the red flame kit, some don’t have numbers… Lindsay for example.

Sucked in by a quick media grab. Clayton was responding to a question about club training resources. His answer was quickly interpreted as his feelings about the club in general.

That is the best suggestion I have heard for a newbie’s nickname yet!

What’s that? Can’t hear you

If Culley has been given #13, I suggest that is an indication of how the club values him!

We're talking about how Culley is going at training, with a few reminders of his worth. You...?

The knockers seem to be ignorant of that fact!

The old “wouldn’t get a game in a top side” call. Makes me laugh every time. Who would know? Not the caller, that’s for sure! It wasn’t so long ago that posters here were saying that about ANB. They said Jack Viney was only getting a game because of his dad! Hell, I remember when it was said about Todd Viney! It was said about James Jordan! It was said about Toby Bedford… and many many more. It’s very definitely an indicator that the author has NFI.

Culley was named top 3 by the coach after week one of training. At present, he looks a lock for round 1 best 23 no matter how many of the list are available.

I think the club is making a statement with those number allocations… “you’re not here, but we have replaced you!”

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.
