Quiet stadiums will be conducive to a gameplan that makes use of on-field communication.

I should of mentioned Ham too. Did some really impressive things today. Had one play he ran to help playerā¦ got the ball, hit a 50 metre target up the groundā¦ and then that player hand balled back to him. Was very fast running to support

What are you thoughts on Conor? Do you think heāll be ready for round two?
Touch n go. Something just didnāt seem right for me with him. Did have good moments but quite rusty

With Redman looking doubtful, youād think heād have to come into calculations.
Awesome report from nackers and Cjohns.

Begley finished obviously. Giving us absolutely nothing, even in training. Has become such a major disappointment. Canāt be using his knee injury as an excuse any longer!

So in summary from what I have read
Really good skills
Really good goal kicking
Smack having a presence up forward
Stringer not dead
And plenty more positive news from training
How I imagine @CJohns and @nackers reaction while watching training

He was a speculative pick at best, hoped he would come on but he might just not be up to it.
Not sure if speculative is the right word for a player selected within the top 30 young footballers in Australia. But yes, itās been a while since Iāve seen anything to suggest Begley is going to make it. Ridley looks likely to balance the books and more from that draft.
Great training reports, many pleasing aspects, but for seasoned training watchers to describe coherency in ball movement starting to unfold in match practice certainly warms the heart.
Oh and my boy B.Ham. Get around this sticky-fingered Whippet, heās going places.

Intraclubs are a bit like master bating.
You can be a world beater playing with yourself,but come show time,it can be a whole new ball game.

Sorry I missed him, last player on the list.
He played and got beaten at most hitouts but got a few possessions in general play that showed some very good composure. We also commented on a beautiful kick he did in a training drill where he speared a pass to a leading forward.

Nackers and C Johns, thanks so much for such comprehensive reports, I think we can see the team selection crystallising from those assessments, give or take a couple of players .
