Here's some shots of Viney from this morning's session: This was a particularly evasive passage from him:

Thanks! I've added that correction to the post in question.

Here are some pics of Clarry from today: Here he is laying a tackle during the football drills in the latter part of the session: And another one :-)

Here are some pics of Kalani White from today's training: Early on was doing a kick-to-kick drill with Dees NGA player Toby Sinnema: Kalani and Toby Sinnema chatting with Langford: This was during the football part of the training session after the time trials:

Ok, so here's Gawn & Kalani White at training today - this was taken when they were both almost the same distance from me. Measuring their heights in pixels from the original version of this image gives the following: Gawn: 1668 px Kalani: 1627 px Taking Gawn's height as the published 209 cm, this puts an estimate on Kalani's height at 203.86 ~ 204 cm (approx 6 ft 8 in) - though to be fair it does look like this would be inflated by an inch or so given Gawn is slouched just a little more than Kalani in this frame.

Viney

His drive and leadership is incredible. Was quick back on to his feet encouraging the others during their recoveries on the ground.

Jack Viney 6 min 41 sec Clarry approx 7 Mins. Salo, trac, riv in between.

Sharp and TMac streets in front of their respective groups. Times were in the 6.40s for an earlier group of talls - 2 km time trial I'd assume?

Goes by the name Toby (when he and Kalani were called over the the main group).

That's nothing compared to the horrendous bathroom incident that Hawthorn's guernsey conjures.

Fantastic content and access. Fell off my chair when Langford listed Braveheart as his favourite film. I probably would have said the same at his age, but that was nearly 30 years ago! 🤣

... and then Goody knocked on his front door!

Thanks @Demonland, happy to contribute some pictures to supplement the fantastic writeups many on here provide. (you may well have seen me - I was the one in the MFC polo with the white wide brimmed hat, camera with white lens, mostly hovering around the fence not far from the players' area).

You got it 🤣

Some very good players have made it via the VFL pathway. Fritta springs to mind. Good luck to young Noah Yze if that's something he pursues.

And lastly:

And some more:

Here are a few other photos from today's training:

In this drill, Sharp and Langford were being instructed to work on very fast swatting hand movements to try to evade or disrupt the tackle.

Might've been this one? Great to see TMac looking so good out there. I think I heard Clarry at one point give him some plaudit along the lines of "Just keeps getting better with age". 😃

He did seem to flub quite a few kicks, including a shot at goal that went wide, to his very audible frustration later in the session. But gee-wiz he looks sensational when he's running with the ball, and he had a hell of a lot of it today in the full-field ball movement work.

Langford looks a pretty serious customer!
