I went down and it was locked out for first hour but could see through fence then allowed in.
Max Gawn ran laps — it looks like a 3 to 4 week injury.
Andy Moniz-Wakefield ran laps.
Blake Howes was taken off late as was on restricted minutes.
Adam Tomlinson loudest on track and a leader - surprised me but won't be in best 25.
Jake Lever on bike and walking up n down stairs, yelling out as he does.
Melky copped a niggle so ran laps but is in amazing nick. Think he and Hibbo play Rd 1, Hibbo always surprises how well he still goes.
Grundy and Brown need to go for marks and not just tap to mids at times. Gawn a lot better than Grundy, significant but last 3yrs tells you that.
Clarry went off with a hand injury and came back on. Hope it's not related to last year
Our mids look fit, Viney, Trac & Harmes. They will dominate again
Bayley Fristch will have another great year, just reads it so well
Trent Burgoyne didn't do a lot to notice
Kozzie Pickett will play a lot of midfield, goody push him along, he looks amazing and training in there
Tom McDonald in full training and forward, Petty back.
Not many injuries and we are fit so lots of positivity to be had. U just want to be fit this time of year
Matt Jefferson will be a player, took some nice grabs. Think Fritter and Jeremy Cameron for who he is like. Two years away.
We are so mature and train well and physically strong, no doubt a Top 8 team when you watch them. Good voice n leadership
Angus Brayshaw looks good but doesn't stand out. He is a match day gun though
Lachie Hunter will be handy, he cheats out to space well
Questions remain - can Kozzie give midfield more creativity but at what expense up forward
Tom McDonald always important to us so if he plays does JvR miss? I don't think Goody knows who plays yet in key forward roles, I like JvR and McDonald and a bit of Gawn - no Brown. Will give good movement and contests and defensive work, plus Fritta
Can u play Brown, Grundy and Gawn? I don't think so.
Are Laurie and Spargo, Nibbler & Melky good enough to allow Kozzie to play mid or good enough anyhow to create a better mid forward connection on last year? Not sold on it
We need a fit Lever. Can Rivers and Bowey step up?
Hard to see Jordan playing if Hunter plays
Can't see Woey getting a game as mids and wings bat deep
Goin to see alot of same players, hopefully JvR plays but hard to see many other youngsters stepping up so can goody find the players motivation and some strategy improvements as with TMac (Brown or Grundy misses) that same team should win another flag in talent but also went 6-6 on way home and lost 2 finals. Fingers crossed, go dee's. well worth trying to get to training, it's good to see our elite athletes, everything is timed to the second and micro analysed with cameras drones etc
