yup 100% agree. he has nothing to do with those negotiations. Planting his Dees flag firmly and I'm all here for it!!

exactly the quotes are taken solitary and not in context, he says 2-3 first rounders. and to be honest if we got 3 x first rounders outside the top 10 id be [censored]

This is what our leadership has been lacking at the club. Send a message to both Freo and Kossie, if you want to break that contract it's not gonna be easy! there is no way we get 3 first rounders for him, but it sets the bar straight away for if he was to leave.

Sort of, HAF can also be service to the the club. So his captaincy an leadership may be a big reason why. Where as someone like Gerard Healy might make our TOTC but not a club HOF because the %^@$&^^$ left 😆

Can confirm there is training on at Gotsch's paddock. It is the AFLW side. Girls looking fit, into some running and light ball work early.

Anyone know if there is training tomorrow? Or a day off after last night's festivities?

Is there training tomorrow?

It is now that Adelaide have now taken their back up ruck as an SSP as well. It's a huge hole for them, they lose a captain, 3 time B&F, magarey medallist and Jack Oatey medallist. And is a Ruckman, this is why the 2nd their clubs need some sort of reprieve. Or just a discussion and if the club is happy to let their player chase their dream then all sweet. Which i woukd think will usually be the case.

This is exactly the reason lower levels are struggling. Because the AFL doesn't give a [censored]. Can guarantee Norwood will now struggle this year after losing Boyd, and he was taken a month ago.

It's for the lower levels, so they have some time to replace the players they lose

From the chat I had with the trainers, they are taking load management much more seriously this year. They talked particularly about Max and Campbell. Fingers crossed they follow through!

Turner was there, trained freely

I had a giggle at Clarry introducing himself to Henderson "hi mate I'm Clayton, nice to meet you" as if he didn't already know. Was nice to see the guys get around him too. Can be daunting first training with a bunch of blokes you don't know

And Fritsch

The ones i listed at the start are not playing tomorrow, the trainers said so. And they did bulk running at the end of training. Not ideal for a game at 10 tomorrow morning. This was: Trac, May, Langdon, Gawn, Salem, Spargo, Viney.

Yeh he trained properly for a good half hour but came off and put sandshoes on. Looked uncomfortable but just needs to heal

Windsor just left the track, not looking comfortable. Not a new injury, but obviously still recovering

And Kentfield

Melk, Kolt and AMW in rehab

Windsor in footy boots!!

Rest of the team rocking up now for captains run

On the park: Trac Spargo Gawn Viney Langdon May Fritsch Salem Henderson Rehab: McVee (updated to include Melk, Kolt, AMW and Kentfield) Spoke to "Gus" the trainer, he said these are the guys not playing tomorrow. Will be playing a lot of the kids. Henderson training to get to know the guys. General drills with running incorporated into it for fitness, nothing really to report. McVee doing plenty or run throughs at gentle pace, but impressed considering its an eight week hammy.

Sweet, I fly in this morn. So will pop by on the route out to lilydale. And good food nearby?

From what saw at Wednesday's training, Melksham will be fit and ready by round 1. I'd expect him to be back in full training next week

Was a bust when we got him. Nothing has changed. Baffling recruiting especially with what we gave up
