The progression of Lever sounds encouraging, he might be pushing hard for the opening round but are we really expecting him to be ready?

@Scoop Junior Only an observation from Saturday’s session in which training was light and the players spent the session largely in positional groups, Fritsch was mainly in drills that consisted of small defenders. Spent some time with Salem, Jetta and Hunt working on basic defensive techniques, such as spoiling and killing the contest quickly. As I said, this only from what I observed on Saturday, the regulars might be able to provide more from pre- Christmas sessions in regards to Fritsch.

AFLX Revamped
According to this article none of our players are listed in the 20 players best suited to AFLX, which is good in a way, although Oliver should be a tad offended, he could bring snow to Darwin but he’s not AFLX material. http://m.afl.com.au/news/2019-01-13/uncanny-xmen-the-20-top-players-suited-to-aflx

Terrific victory, I was hoping she didn’t have that good a closing speed, I was on Dubious. An almost day for me today Macca, unlucky with your picks the last two weeks, you’ve been nabbed late.

Most of the squad heading back now. O Mac, T Smith, Jetta, Harmes, Hunt, Trac, stayed back for some extra work. Vanders running 200s on his own. Looks fine.

Everyone is still trying to work it about Gus. He’s moving fine though, picked up a loose ball off the ground in one of the drills and turned swiftly to pass it to a teammate without hindrance. Now doing some solid paced running with Lever and Viney.

Looks like the whole squad is out there with the exception of Melksham. Haven’t seen him so far. Jones heading back to AAMI after some running, walking and some boxing exercises. Looked like a light load for the skip.

How dare they start before 9:30! T Mac is out there and wearing boots. Fully participating at this stage.

Hope you got a collect there Macca. I should know by now to back El early as he seems to be plunged late every start. The price in the end was a bit low for my liking and the query was the 1300. In saying that he did run a good race, just found one better. Did I hear the caller say all winners tonight were Cranbourne trained horses?

Leaders. Leadership, & True Grit
Just an incredible sporting club. Finals appearances each year for the last decade or so with the exception of 2010 due to points stripped, even then their record that year was enough to make it into the finals. Multiple GF appearances, a coach that boasts the highest win percentage in the game and these stats don’t tell the whole story behind their success. The ability over the years to get the best out of players in the twilight of their careers has been nothing short of amazing. As for Cam Smith, nothing but admiration, what a leader and player. I read a while back in one of his seasons he only made 10 errors.

Farewell Jesse Hogan
Haha, not much else to be gained, fineprint states pets, vehicles and alcohol are strictly prohibited on the oval.
