Kinda find his pithiness refreshing and occasionally, funny.
Its a burner account for sure, not hard to work out who it is
So, before we start, @nackers is not a feminist. At all.
DISCLAIMER: POSSIBLE NEW INJURY.
It was hot, but pleasant in the shade (thank goodness for trees). Training was a very sold three-hour session in hot weather. Most players seemed to get through pretty well, except Francis. He was well behind in the running and left the track about half way through. Slight concern, not sure if injured.
Some good news, many of the rehab players did a lot more work with the main group today, including Hurley, Shiel and Raz. Raz was running well, but not overly quickly. Hope he can get up to full pace eventually.
Of the rehabbers, Stewart was running in straight lines and then did some light kicking. Redman also came out and did some running. Draper did plenty of running, looks to be bulding his fitness really well.
Merrett, Joe, Hooker and Zacka unsighted. Slightly concerned about Merrett, havenât seen him doing a lot this pre-season.
Bit of match play, they put cones straight up the middle of the ground and tried to keep the ball on one side of the ground when moving from back to forward. This looked okay initially, but as fatigue wore them down (there were 800m/150m runs in between) the decision making and skills dropped a bit. Overall, the pressure was reasonably good, but still think theyâre going at about 70%.
Thought Hibberd looked quite good, and Laverde was the main target up forward - took some nice marks.
The youngsters did quite a bit of cross training on the second oval after matchplay. Naturally Jones and Bryan will need to put on some size, but Cahill looks a solid boy for his age. I liked the look of Cahill the most today. Iâll judge Bryan and Jones after they put on some kilos.
A slightly better feeling with more players, but still a lot of players to come back into full training, and a fair bit of work to do with disposal.

Nice work @MattPocock18
Good that they gave them solid 3hr sesh in the heat
Francis going off not surprising for pasty redhead
Lav being a key target for opposing team would surely be simply due to lack of available options & nothing more.

Who was opposed to Laverde âŚor was our disposal so good going forward it didnt matter?
He was mostly on Zerk who he out positioned on a few occasions, they were also some good kicks to his advantage
