AMW and you could also exclude Jeffo at this stage.

May will start first up...

I am hoping King and Co are going heavy on development with these 2, but it's also going to help having Brody Mihocek as the main forward guess we will all see soon enough.

My main worry is Jefferson's thirst for the contest.

Another one

May and Lever will probably start Salem out.

Like some posters here....

In the end, match sims are still dancing with your daughter you want to impress, but you don’t want to hurt her, but I will ask, have the ball skills by hand and foot improved.

I know he doesn't I'm just being inclusive.......

So 4 more demonlanders were there then....

Who said anything about exposing themselves.....

Seriously do you think players come off the ground for a slash in games same in training.

But if Flower had to go, he did, but his skills and peripheral vision were brilliant and kept himself protected. From what I have seen of Jefferson, he is more like an Eric Hipwood type of player. I'm not sure Jefferson will make it, but hopefully under a new coach, things will turn around.

I know this will be a hard request but is it possible to focus on JVRs hands positioning while marking a ball coming in hard and soft so to speak just interested if he has changed the positioning of them.

Unlike Viney then....

Hawthorn's new complex costs around $113 million.

Who cares it's a number only he's not dead, so there is no need to retire a number.

You agree with me then say I'm off tangent...lol

It's so important that players who couldn't consistently kick well in junior games get drafted late or not at all .... at least I'd like to think so. Did we spend years taking players that can't kick or did our training sessions get so laughable post 2021 that players lost their kicking skills? It's baffling. That's because years ago kids were taught left and right foot, handball both sides, just look at how many players now struggle when forced on their non preferred side and players who get caught trying to get back on theipreferred d side, I hope they fix the hand positioning of JVR when the ball comes in at pace because he has cricketers hands palms open and elbows bent to far back let's hope so.

Well you know what they say.....

Can someone fill me in if we have a permanent forward line coach yet, as I believe Scarlett and Hawkinds are part-time?

To save people reporting here for the first couple of weeks in advance here is my training report, The boys look in better shape than last year. They were running harder than they had in last year's preseason. Recruits look bigger than I thought. Coaches were more engaging this year. Training the house down big year coming. Players have bulked up. End of report.
