Great insights as usual. Can you indulge me with some Caldwell observations?
Parish was a pretty safe bet he would be a 100+ game player
Yeah he was a safe pick, but I never envisioned Parish to be the AA star of the competition-type player. That was Oliver and Charlie Curnow for me (though injuries didn’t really help Curnow). I could tell McGrath, Heppell and Daniher were going to be great players.
Based on their attributes, I think Eyre, Reid, Perkins and Cox can all be future AAs. They all have attributes that make them the perfect player for their position in the modern game.
Thread needs more 2MP hype
Seems like Stringer and Ambrose have been in the modified group for a while. Bit concerning
How has Wrights contested marking been in training sessions?
Ambrose was injured last year, so that makes sense.
Stringer is concerning, but hearing he’s starting to ramp up a bit is positive.
That sounds very Richmond.
Should be interesting to see… and hopefully when the pressure builds that the players don’t resort back to bombing the ball to the opposition spareman, which seems to be our get out of jail card for the last 15 years.
I’m starting to get excited.

Does our skipper have tattoos?
Don’t know how to copy the photo over from today’s training gallery.
Who’s that tickling his foot?
That sure is 2.03 meters of quality Peter content right there.
what an excellent and varied thread
Is there any ground in Aus that favours an easterly, because that is the wind in which our skills are sharpest
LOL – match on my first guess, where I’ve never been: Alice Springs!

I need to know what the fark you typed into google to find that pic.
