Boys are looking exhausted, hot out there!

Laurie just kneed Chandler in a marking contest after too much hang time from Fullarton kick

Max, Riv, Kossie & Langdon v Campbell, Langford, Laurie & Oliver in Centre bounce

Kossie winning lots of ball and delivering beautifully, running on to provide another option

Jefferson defeats both Adams and Hore in big contest, much to delight of teammates

Langdon has come in to middle as outside runner

McVee showing his class. Max still supreme in boundary throw in contests

Gawn, Kossie, Riv & Sparrow versus Campbell, Laurie, Oliver & Langdon in middle. Campbell making it very difficult for Max in the ruck

Activity slow moving, strategic focus. Ollie asking for direction from Goodwin

Full ground now. Adams good contested mark followed by poor kick

Salem not here

Melksham also running laps

Tracc & Spargs now working with trainer on contested ball

Turner accounted for

Tracc moving confidently, stretching and marking well, no tackle pressure

Searching for Petty, haven’t noticed him

At present, Melksham is the only one on the track who isn’t in main activity

Mentha appears to be wearing 34

McAdam with main group

McDonald & Fullarton also with main group

Haven’t noticed Windsor, Viney, Tholstrup, Turner,

I count 37 in main group atm

Spargo and Chandler in main activity. Melks agility test extremely agile!

I've been to several of the pre-season training mornings at Gosch's and I come away thankful that we have Hore as a backup. There are days when I have him in the side. He is better now than he was first time round. He is a professional in everything he does. He makes it difficult for many of our forwards with a full set of defensive skills. He can play on talls or smalls. Don't write him off. I won't be surprised if he gets games in 2025. He is legitimate depth. Every successful team needs them.

Me too!
