Apparently pre-season starts today for first-to-five year players. Victoria is out of lockdown now so what time should I expect a training report? My lunchbreak is 1pm QLD time so by then would be greatly appreciated.

Have a run around in the rain boys!!!
IN: Rance
Wonder if we’re doing the part-time thing on part because we need to share the facility?
No. It has to do with the AFLPA return date for players. Weren’t allowed back until the 22nd. But we negotiated to come back early if it was part-time til Christmas. So players still get same time off.
we’re so getting fine,
are we doing another Mal Michael, i have a sneaky feeling that we are.
Hurley situation certainly makes it interesting
I still think it’s unlikely but you never know
Rance just coaching whilst doing the drills himself with the young players would be great for them
This has been my favorite part of the year for 20 years now!
Stoked we have him as coach but no need IMO.
We already have 4 blokes competing for 2 spots (Stewart Zerk Reid and call Ridley and Brand half each).
We’re always safe during pre-season.
Nothing can hurt us.

Wonder what number they gave him 
Wearing 17 so I’m guessing that he hasn’t gotten a number yet as it belongs to Stewart
I though it was Boak there for a second.
I thought it was Tayte Pears
Gumbleton looks to have bulked up
Nice. Headstart on the rest of the comp.
What number was Prismall wearing and how was Rama looking?
IT BEGINS AGAIN!
