Training 3rd March

He looks in pretty good condition still, but was really just going through the paces. Mainly doing running with Hurley, but I don’t think repetitive running has ever been his favourite pastime.

No doubt there’s an opening for wanga.

No joke. All bias aside.

If Walla isn’t going to be ready, just play Tex in Round 1.

We need some X factor up forward.

If we play unfit players in round 1 we will stop playing footy at half time like we did against hawthorn last year in round 1

This is so good to hear

Certainly wouldn’t have been getting this from Mosquito

As Gavin told him “be hungry”, if he has that mindset ongoing to be better, to be desperate for his place in the team we are going to have a beauty it seems. Hard worker + footballing talent.

Go Tex!

I was under the impression that Tex would be a slower burn and wouldn’t play much this season … but I’ve just firmly taken the lid off after that read

How many goals Tex will kick versus the saints. round 1 spot up for grabs.

No Francis potentially for Saints, time for Baldwin to shine.
Forwardline for saints

A slow burn is what we should still expect given basically no footy for 2 year. BUT if he has the fitness, the natural ability to hunt the ball and kick a goal, bring him in!

Did you notice if he worked up to full pace or any explosive work?

That will typically be the last stage of rehab for groins, will give us a good indication he’s right to go once he starts ticking that off

I didn’t notice him going at full pace.

It’s his first training session back, no way would he be going at full pace yet

As he said himself, program in place to build him up and be ready for rd1

Thanks for the report @nackers
Bloody pumped for this Saturday night. Taking little Fozdog too. Last game he went to was the bulldogs shalaking. Nasty first game for the little fella.
