@CJohns

There was likely a significant injury today with Dylan Clarke who had to be carried off. Unsure what type of injury though

I literally read this as ‘Dylan Shiel’ three effin times.
Sorry Dylan Clarke…

I just wanna say that anyone who didn’t like nackers’s post today is a BUM.

Thanks for your input Bob

Firstly Archie Perkins. he was in everything in the drills very clean with his hands, showed composure to select the right option when under pressure, stood up well in a couple of tackles but still got the ball out to a teammate, and hit up several beautiful passes to leading forwards. he also showed great pace both attacking the ball and running to position where he seemed to just glide across the surface. He also has a good size and ready made build. I also spent a bit of time watching him in a tackling drill where they had to manoeuvre and then attack a trainer holding a large bag. He seemed to tackle harder and with more ferocity than anyone else. I’m calling it now, lock him in for round 1.

seems I’m the only one on here excited by this news…

@nickers

He and Jones are the two I’m probably most excited to see play next year.

Add Cox to that list
and
expect Draper to further improve to the point where he is super aggressive and our spiritual leader

[nickers]

Love your work mate, thanks again for the report!

Hopefully the club uploads some training footage for the fans - everyone loves seeing that sort of stuff, especially with so many talented youngsters out there together.

[CJohns]

I personally think Merrett has been sensational in the last two sessions i have seen. Looks very fit, focused and sharp. I would have $20 on him for B&F 2021

[dbeas]

Me too - it’s his contract year after all.

@Humble_NSW_Fan

What about now? Where’s the lid?

They do this to us every year.

Give us hope.

Making us think ‘is this our year?’

Creating optimism.

And then…Essington.

The lid is on my friend, I will reassess in Round 1.

Thanks for the great report @nackers

Any chance of a best 22 @nackers?

@BLOODSTAINED_DEVILS

Yeah,… it doesn’t mean older players aren’t allowed to be there.

Wasn’t long ago it was mentioned it’s still 1-4 guys, … haven’t heard it’s changed yet, but it may have.

There were photos on IG where Lav and Hooksy were in the weights room.

[AD_Don]

Will have to play well to beat Archie Perkins.

[CJohns]

I am still a bit cautious on Perkins and will wait for full contact ground match simulation to get a better guide. His skills today were very good saying that.

[Saucy]

Can you see an inside mid in the boy?

[Lefty]

take this negativity to the Archie Perkins politics thread

[CJohns]

Too early to know as i have not seen any clearance drills with him yet. He actually looks quite nervous in his body language still but that will be fixed quickly
