Would you go so far as to say he is ripping the lid off expectations for next season?

I’m thinking a lot of the young group that looked like boys last season are looking more like men this season, I think we’ll be a lot tougher than we’ve been for a long time.

One training session in and I’ve gone from losing interest to lid off!

Is this real or am I just a hopeless mug Bomber fan?

Depressingly, this has become my favorite time of year. Oh, the possibilities!

Francis looks as though he’s still not as fit as he should be. Compare his (lack of) muscle definition to Zerk-Thatcher’s — or his “double” Andrew Phillips’.

He didn’t say anything about lifting the general level of fitness above last year’s. It needs a big lift. As a club we were way below the top teams.

Best part of the season, knackers you are a stud.

Some people just don’t have natural muscle definition. Have a look at Goddard, he had the worst rig of all time but went ok.

So long as he can run out a game and hold his own in a contest, I’ll be happy.

Good point.
He also failed to mention “core strength “, “lateral movement”, “abductor”, “groins”, “syndesmosis”, or the perennial favourite “modified group”.

What sort of fitness / conditioning guy is he?

Looks like Saad has had a cape sewn onto his new training top. Maybe he’s standing behind the trainer to hide the superhero emblem on his chest

In the limited footage I have seen so far, Ridley stood out as noticeably more solid

Maybe he got caught ‘napping for the video?

Had been mentioned on here he saw himself as competing with Francis for 3rd tall def spot but needed to put on more size.

But most importantly:

  • How’s the banter?

Everybody knows that a player’s season prospects are directly proportionate to how vascular they look in pre season training photos from November the previous year.

Hopefully that gives him a bit more confidence to hit contests hard.

How come we never use saad in the midfield?

Could be worth a shot

He’s probably the best rebounding defender in the AFL. Why play him out of position?
