BLWNBA

I believe we have three days, including today. I suspect there's a chance we'll have two spots available, with LK and McAdam moved to the inactive list in which case we'll add Culley and a small forward.

By extension, are all the train on players still with us from what you can see mate?

Are Pickett and May back with the boys?

Interested to hear the optics around Culley today, if you can. Is Henderson still in WA?

Jagga Smith outright favourite at $5.50. $20 = watermelon.

Langford at $15.00 for the Rising Star was too juicy to ignore. Chucked a cheeky watermelon on him.

Agreed on numbers. Speaking to Robbo he mentioned they’d forecasted a crowd 2,500, but the promotion of it wasn’t fantastic.

Would say so. I’d probably have AJ ahead of Jeffo too, though note that neither AJ nor Jeffo swapped onto the ‘A’ side during the last quarter.

Wasn’t sighted, but I might’ve missed him.

McDonald also playing ‘B’ side, AMW on ‘A’ side now.

Salem and Bowey swapped onto the ‘B’ side for the last, Laurie now playing ‘A’ side with Hore.

Sharp has hit the scoreboard with a snap around the corner. A beautiful Joe the Goose.

Yze and Culley both playing for the ‘B’ side.

Agree entirely. I really thought his confidence was really off last year and it showed. He really looked to doubt his ability to take contact.

CP just mentioned he’ll be back in full training on Monday.

Looks good, I’d like him to get it a bit more but he’s definitely one of our better users. I actually think he could be a reasonable small forward for us.

HB, but I think he’s now being trialled as a HF. Missed a bit of play moving sides but he wasn’t one of the six out of the back on the most recent play.

Fritsch with another, takes his tally to 3.1. I’m somewhat tentatively going to say Salem is back to his best, looks to be moving very similar to 2021 form and accumulating and distributing well. Theres a brief stoppage with the coaching staff addressing both teams. Play resumes with 8:39 on the clock for the second stanza. Clarry has been extremely vocal barking instructions in the D50/F50. McAdam with a brilliant gather and sleight of hand out of a contested turnover in the centre square.

I’ll try and post some more consolidated thoughts tonight, but we definitely seem to be pressing up the ground on the transition and seem to be more matured with this than we were in the first half of last year. Bowey managed to push up and kick a pearler.

Sparrow kicks truly. ‘A’ side comfortably in control.

Bowey, Petty, McDonald, Lever are the starting backs with Salem, and Riv off the back flanks for the ‘A’ team. Howes also lining up on AJ.

Bit hard to see where I am and I have one eye on my little fella; but I’ll do my best. Sharp is playing forward the ‘A’ team; as is McAdam. Turner, Fritsch and McAdam are all playing in the ‘ones’ (so to speak). Lindsay is out there too (not necessarily these players are the traditional ‘fringe’, with the exception of McAdam). Langford seems to get bigger every time I see him in real life. Fritsch could’ve finished with four in the first but is on 2.1.

AJ playing forward for the whites. His strength and marking ability are really something. He has ‘presence’. McAdam will play R1 barring injuries IMO. In everything, and has pace. Snapped and makes amends for his earlier miss. He’s moving very freely.
