get the Angry Anderson batmobile

[nackers]

Perfect!
Something completely inconspicuous so we can fly under the radar!

[Soulnet]

We need to borrow one of these from next door.

[BLOODSTAINED_DEVILS]

Yeah, seems like they could allow folks in if they wanted.

Maybe just taking advantage of the situation to keep spies away as they embark on a fresh plan etc??

[Bomb_Doe]

or the Arrested Development car

@nackers

Just another one of the ridiculous restrictions still in place, this one implemented by the AFL

Ahh,… that would also explain it.

@nackers

No we’re outside the ground on the hill for the foreseeable future.

It’s not far at all from the MCG size ground but you would have to get high enough so the lens is above the fence.

It’s a long way from the Docklands size ground though, it would be hard to get any decent photos of there.

We think Thursday will be the last major session for the year, but it may be tomorrow. I’m not going tomorrow but will be able to find out if it was on.

DANIHIM?

@Soulnet

If you have a ute you can back it onto the fence and I have the platform needed to get photos!

Ansell Adams style?

[coldblood]

I" I’m after one of these ,panning is a problem tho.

They just showed Tom Hird at training today.

Said he’d bulked up a bit (I don’t know what he looked like before). Oh and he does that finger licking thing that James used to do as well.

[HirdMentality]

Saad who?

[nackers]

So it turns out there was a session today for about 2 hours.

Apparently there were about 27 players training, all players that had previously trained, and again the new draftees again trained in a group by themselves.

Apart from a few pieces of second hand information on a few players (Perkins looked explosive off the mark, Bryan was running really hard to make options) I don’t have anything new to add.

I looked up the AFLPA registered training dates, and the first to 4 year players have a 2 week block between Dec 7 - 18, so I’m presuming there will be no training tomorrow with a final session on Friday before the Christmas break.

[jonovdp]

Perkins has all the tools to be a match winner, in the Fyfe, Martin, Dangerfield & Bontempelli mould.

Explosive. Strong contested mark. Kicks goals. Great endurance. Moves well in traffic. Quick. 190cm range. Can play forward.

If he can put it all together, it will be very exciting.

[MattPocock18]

Typical. I have tomorrow morning off and work Friday morning.

I’ve heard this one from you before…

[nackers]

Yes, well if it was possible to actually get onto anyone that had any information about training dates (and a few of us with decent contacts have been trying!) we wouldn’t have to rely on making informed guesses as to what is happening.

That being said I’ve never heard of them training two days in a row before and with Friday being the last day they’re allowed it’s a pretty good guess it will be Friday but you never know.

And as it’s now at least a 3 hour return trip for me if I don’t use the tollways it makes it a little trickier to just drop in on a whim.

[aboods]

Pretty poor planning to live so far away from this job that blitz pays you to do

[nackers]

I thought with the megabucks on offer from Blitz it wouldn’t be a problem.

On closer inspection of the contract it turns out the only thing I’m guaranteed is lots of likes. I’ve just got to work out a way to trade them for cash and I’m set.

You and @stir_fried_ewok had a bit of a hike to get to training as well didn’t you?
