One for @DeeSpencer

They don't do much first training session, they normally wander out to watch and maybe have a kick or handball, under Burgess may be different, but I doubt it

Yes, gets called that in the drills, let's say neat and tidy in everything he does

Bagging is rubbishing players or posters, I regard him as an average AFL player, obviously an opinion shared by AFL recruiters And I probably played about 200 at various levels

An interested observer, casually leaning on a tree, Sam Mitchell My new smokey in Nietschke, motoring up and down a wing in the kicking ball movement drill. Was known in junior days as an aerobic beast

Brown was brought in as a top up player when Essendon lost all their suspended players, innocent bystander Besides which Murray is an average player, why no club has gone near him

Monday for the draftees and if normal they will wander out, watch trainng, maybe a handball or two, Wednesday will be the day, Bennell and Brown then as well Lewis was there today, did some kicking instruction on players non preferred

Demonland - home of the infallible The Club from Bartlett down has collective blame for last year, this was acknowledged at the Forum It is a new year, learnings, everybody's favourite new word, have been taken from those mistakes It is Captain Obvious to state if we have a similar year Goodwin and others will be on very shaky ground To paraphrase a wonderful phrase about modern art 'I could do better than Goodwin' 'Yes, but you didn't'

Because he has a contract Did you get to the interview stage in the selection process?

It's Saty being realistic, the hyperbole about new players staggers me sometimes And the short memories We had an Indigenous small forward for the last couple of years, his name was Jeff Garlett, agreed his last year was poor, but previous to that he was a valued member of the forward line And for somebody to say 20 years is laughable and also disrespectful to Aaron Davey What you see is the highlights of a young guy playing, but not at AFL level, let's wait and see how he handles the step up before we start gushing about him I am really pleased we drafted him but I ain't gonna put him on a pedestal before I even see him train

I did Building up a kid again, to knock him off when he doesn't meet Demonland's lofty expectations

They still do that, depends on the dril

It's good to watch isn't it If we can begin to translate this to match day Asked the players, they find it really hard work but they are enjoying it

Stand out again Petracca There is definite desire to bring more physicality to our game, hence all the solid contact drills There is also an emphasis on burst speed, in the handball driill they are being encouraged to run and also chase of course Early days but Trac, Salem, Oliver and Brayshaw ssemed to have increased their leg speed, maybe told to Jordon is with the mids if they break up into recognisable grouos
