Volume=Steele Intensity=Viney, no doubt in my mind.

Ouch

Just a small observation but Harvey Langford pulled off a very cool J’ai Ali move where he was kicked the ball and he caught it his left hand behind his body and in a scooping motion spun it around to the front of his body washing off the momentum in the movement while the ball looked superglued to his hand. So nonchalant So exciting. Other than that The new Pickett was moving nicely in Sim play, Kolt still rushes things. CJ has the skinniest ankles I have ever seen, Jefferson can strike the ball but sadly I don’t see him coming on with his defensive mindset, just not a see ball get ball type. Langdon excelled in the fwd 50 entry drill (kicking to a player marked by 2 others) Chin impresses in training , most thrill moment was watching Xavier T break two tackles from best 20 players including one from Kossie that had intent, kid is an assassin, top 5 rising star and plays r1

Feel free to say hello, green lululemon shirt and the giant bike, 1st preseason I’ve watched since Daniel Cross was running around.

Probably been said somewhere in the 102 pages, but there wasn't daylight between how him and Jackson, mailed in their performances during their last seasons. I am mightly peeved at losing Zanker though, that burggers up our fwd line no end.

Max's off field work with Trac, Oliver, MMM and everything else has been first class, he has a long media career ahead without doubt. I'm not sure the on-field role of leader is quite the same anymore, everything is about lines and roles, and leadership groups. Also I would ask are Gen Z+ are they really fussed about who is captain? (Genuine question, does it get a extra 2-3% performance out of the team). Captain has become much more about being a spokesperson for the club, which is a poison chalice at the best of times.. Max's public speaking ability is off the charts for a footballer, and TBH he really took some heat recently. Once upon a time a hard nut like Viney would have been my first choice, but those days seem gone.

So annoyed they don't share numbers, but I did note Sharp had his watch on and it was at 19:03, which is off the charts... A standard 20m shuttle run (Beep Test) usually finishes in 10-15 minutes for very fit individuals; 20 minutes signifies an endurance level rarely seen, hitting level 18/17... if anyone is interested: Level Shuttles running speed (km/h) time per shuttle (s) Total level time (s) Cumulative Time (min:seconds) Distance per level (m) Cumulative Distance (m 18 15 17.0 4.24 63.5 18:53 300 4000

Yes I think so, but considering the invective on the site I sometimes wonder… Gen X, just the latest bunch of Peter Pan wannabes…

Did anyone hear any beep test results, am very curious as usual to compare my 20 something self with the players, as a 50 something my knees tell me don't even think about it.

Do they even need a recruiting boss with their f/s collection?

Marley, if you are reading this, no pressure, but I am one of many who think your father was an absolute champion of the football club and a stellar human. His courage was 10/10, so we are a little excited that you might have the same heart as your papa. Enjoy footy though and ignore us religiously, this site is no good for your mental health.

PF = Rono’s love child…

I was given a packet of Energy Watch branded Sherrins to take back to Africa at the time, thanks to Chris, they were used to spread the word about Aussie Rules, so some little good did come from that episode.

At 1:38 in the video, when he mentioned that he came early to watch the women’s team play before his Grand Final. I fell for him then, this is a proper team player.

A solid pick, I’m not sure he is a R1 though, his kicking reminds me a bit of Cam Bruce / Tmac in their early days, a bit floaty, and at the higher speed of AFL will get picked off a bit until he flattens his kicks. Everything else, attitude, heart seems 1st class. A very nice size though.
