The team we love

Hannan running with great pace. They both look close

Bennell has a laser right foot.

All six look like they’re running close to top speed in the sprint drills. Lots of them

Bennell participating in the first ball drill with some short leads and kick to the next group then running to next cone.

Rivers looks strong through the legs

Only KK and Neita not out there that I can notice.

Gawn, May, Jones, Brayshaw and Fritsch all in main group.

Preuss, Petty, Chandler, Smith, Dunkley, Hannan in the rehab group jogging a couple of laps to warm up.

Harley Bennell warming up with the main group! He’s going at about half pace or just above in warm up sprints.

@Satyriconhome do you know what’s wrong with Smith and how long away he is? Throughout Preseason he was reported to be super fit. The most recent training report had him participating but kicking his on his non-preferred. I think he could add speed and athleticism to the backline and support May and Lever.

Brayshaw and C Wagner playing tomorrow will see them leave this list.

Josh Wagner playing who was in our squad for the Adelaide game. will go with less that 8 on the interchange vs the Crows

It would be good to know if Rivers and Jordon play and how they go. cheers

I was hoping to see Rivers in the squad, especially with a few unavailable and 8 on the bench.

That is the best news I’ve heard all day. With a bit of luck, it could just be Preuss and Neita unavailable round 1.

Hopefully we see this in games along with trying to hit a target from a kick out rather than kick long to the boundary.

Is he active in the rehab group? Any sign of May?

it would be a good result to be in the game for most part. I count 12 out who are/very close to our best 22. May Lever Jetta Hibberd Lewis KK Jones AVB Gawn Viney Hannan Melksham

He said Viney, Melksham and May won’t play this week. Would want to get a hit out JLT 2.

Great result to have those guys back in full training with still 3 and half weeks until round 1! Get KK right for the season. Shame about Hannan but if he can get his knee 100% for the back end of the season he'll be cherry ripe come finals. He was playing through the injury in the finals last year so I reckon he can get to another level when fit.

Thanks moon. Who out of the following were in match sim; Viney, Oliver, Jones, Melksham, May?

Until round 1

Has Jack Viney done much with the main group? Hopefully he can play a JLT. I think I heard Melksham joined the main group which is positive. 23 days to go!

Round 1 last year we played Pedersen, Wagner, Garlett, Maynard, Hunt, Vince, Hannan. Im confident we’ll name a much stronger side with May, Tmac, Viney, Brayshaw, Weids and Vanders all currently fit.

Thanks for the update Saty. Do you know how KK is travelling and when he might be phased into the main group? Cheers
