She did some fitness test activities and then was involved in some of the three quarter field drills and appeared to move well. She's a chance.

I reckon JT has seen more.

Whilst we don't know who JT rates what seems clear is that no matter the combination ahead of us we are happy with what's left, hence no trading of picks. That gives me a lot of confidence.

Kate Shelley Megan Tahlia Spooner Maggie So many did so well. Actually make 1. The team. What a fantastic effort.

I’ve got no idea who you’re talking about.

There was a drill for this on the Wednesday.

A lot of the intel on “who we want” doesn’t come from us, it comes from the information that is in the market place about who we spoken to in terms of parents, under age footy coaches, teachers and any other people we can find who can give us an insight into the person and not necessarily “the skills”, which of course are there for all to see. Clubs knew we wanted Kolt because two of our blokes flew to WA to have lunch with his parents says before the draft; you don’t do that unless you’re very interested, and that interest may have been narrowed down in the last week. Hence the “bolt” up the board. So it’s got very little about keeping cards close to your chest and more about who knows who you’re putting time into. That’s why Cal gets it pretty right in his mock draft rather than his player ratings. He’s clearly very well connected.

This drill involved blocking and protecting the tackling players from the ball carrier. It was too complicated for me to fully understand but it wasn't just a keepings off and handballing for goal. The session was a lot less intense than Monday and there was much more running. AMW won't be in full training until after Christmas as they nurse him along with his ACL program but he is as fit as a fiddle. Brodie was doing much more high speed running today and more lateral movement stuff. Hendo is recovering from a groin complaint and is on limited lateral movement drills. AJ also spent a little time out of main training but CJ trained much more with the group than he did on Monday.

And as luck would have it over the years we end up with 6 rucks, no KPB and 14 small forwards on our list. As Old says "it's not that simple".

It goes to credibility.

Yeh, right. So you have sensitive inside information that you decide to share on a fan forum so that,what? It doesn’t help the process but might hinder it if GC think someone at MFC is leaking. There’s no upside. People genuinely in the know don’t leak on a fan forum because they know their information supply dries up.

What is your motivation for posting your information?

Molly looked good at training today and completed a fitness test and then joined full training. Blaithin didn’t do any training with the group. Saraid trained away from the group doing a bit of running. Jacinta doing some more gentle rehab including a few short kicks.

What happened to Micks presser. I can’t find it.

I've seen a fair bit of the women's training at Gosch's this year but quite a bit has been captain's run and flush runs. Today was full on and it was full on. Having watched the women over the journey I was struck today and how much the game has improved. The speed of the game is significantly faster, the ball handling much cleaner and the kicking, particularly for goal much improved. Standing close to them today during the match drill highlighted to me how far they have come, it was quick and skillful. The other thing that is noticable is what a happy bunch they are. There is a genuine buzz and enjoyment in what they are doing which contrasts with the men's training sessions which also has a buzz but is somehow different. And the women seem to at least recognize and appreciate track watchers. Eden particularly smiles and says hello, Saraid Taylor another that over the journey has been proactively friendly and all of them just give a different vibe to us compared with the men. It's good fun watching them if you're considering a journey to Gosch's. And they train for well over 1 and a half hours. I had to leave early as I had a 2 hour parking spot. Despite the cold today, and it was, it's fun watching them.

Redleg can you clarify if there is going to be a designated track watchers area with appropriate facilities?

I went to every PS training session at Gosch’s last season and your view is absolutely contrary to everything I saw. Note, I’m commenting on his attitude, not his ability.

A very shortsighted approach.

Bring Daisy home!

No, we've got Jeffo.

I’ll buy people’s Kolt shares. Just 20, no preseason. High agility testing, clean hands, good vision and excellent disposal. Learning midfield role. Yesterday wasn’t his best game but I’ve seen enough in his last 6 games to feel comfortable with the pick. He won’t be a star but he’ll be a good solid player with great character.

The oval at Casey is first class but for the spectator it’s just terrible. I went to the Saints game there, got as high up as I could but still couldn’t identify clearly who the players were on the other side of the ground. I came home and watched the replay to see what had happened. So not only is the ground so far away (I can cope with the drive) but you don’t see much when you get there. And of course the weather conditions out there are problematic made worse by the lighter smaller ball the women use. It’s like the AFL don’t want the women’s game to succeed. There are so many good options already mentioned it’s pathetic the AFL hasn’t done better.

Take a jumper!

Mums the word Ghosty!😎

And good intel on Georgia as well. She trained apart from the group and looked very comfortable joining in main training towards the end. Harvey will be sad to hear that after he left the soccer ball did come out and they had the choice between American Footy and soccer. Kate Hore appeared to be doing a fitness test but the result wasn't evident although she looked pretty comfortable to me. The training session for the women went for longer than I could stay, and I left at 11.30. Lots of low kicks into a net about chest marking height. There is a fantastic spirit amongst the girls, it's great to see. There was also a young (from my perspective) lady having her 14 birthday today with a sign asking for a pair of boots (something I've never really understood), and she got them! Thanks Kossie, you've made someone's day!
