I'm trying so hard to keep the jed walter expectations low to ease him into his career but its bloody tough. What a specimen!
Hard to believe the bloke is just 18 years of age! Compare the pair - Tom Hawkins in his final year of junior footy (2006) and Jed Walter in his final year of junior footy (2023):

And Hawkins still hasn’t laid 1 tackle yet.
Jed will lay 5 a game 🙌🏽
 
A few random observations from Friday's open training......nothing like Jen's famous training reports.
Very hot and humid, Hardwick very active in drills, as were other coaches.
Lots of short drills, as noted in player interviews, with an early emphasis on competitive positioning in contests.
One drill on most of the oval required hard off-the-ball running after disposing of the ball, which players did well.
First time seeing Walter live - he is a big unit who moves smoothly and confidently.
Rehab group included King, Weller, Davies and Rogers, who all did lots of repetitive running. Tough work in that heat. King also did a kicking drill with Davies, and a solo marking drill with one of the coaches.
Ben Ainsworth and Mac Andrew both looked in early form.
Good voice and 'vibe' throughout the two hours, at this early stage in the year.

Great work Robbo?
Did Crab look in AA form?

They looked fast - speed was the key. Rowell, Collins and others look to have trimmed down considerably. Not long now!

Has anyone got the dates for preseason games against the Lions and possibly intraclub?

With the GWS game on 29th Feb in Canberra on a Thursday, was hoping there might be a weekend game in Queensland that we could go eat?
