Why is Squizzy in the hospital group? Has he done something?

It's important to be able to pack on mass.
He only needs a 4 week preseason anyways so all should be good. (I actually have no info why he is on limited duties sorry)

I think it is something to do with his knee, he may have had a clean up during the offseason so he might just getting managed.

I was referring to Nick. Mitch would also do anything for the team. IMO his number one asset is his hardness/determination. Don't underestimate him.
Hopefully he makes hitting targets and getting on the right side of play his number one and number two assets. I am referring to Mitch not Nick.
I'm not underestimating Mitch, just man-crush on Nick.

It's all about cultivating mass with a garbage bag full of chimichangas.
But when you pack on mass you sacrifice flexibility bro.
Just had a re-watch. If anyone rates their lip reading abilities have a look a what Cloesy has to say at 1.18, very funny!

Just watched the Mayes interview (back on page 3) ... apart from the last question I thought it was a good interview and he came across pretty confidently.
As to 'will you have to change the words of the song since there is no white in there' (or something like that) ... well duh it is a *clash* strip ... and it is not like we are the only club whose song includes the team colours (navy blues, red and white, red and the blue, red white and blue, red gold and blue .... ok that's enough!)

Went along this morning, albeit a pretty late. When I arrived they were in the middle of a drill in which they had to move the ball from a kick in and transition to the other end of the field without turning the ball over. It was good to see DBeams, MRobbo out there participating and Richy hitting 60m down the wing. Archie took a good mark on top of Bourke in which he rode his shoulders all the way to the ground (ping James North) .
They then did some running and some running and more running. McStay is with the second group of runners (Mayes, Reddo and CBeams (I think)). The front group consisted of Close, Paps, NRobbo, RoBew, Tinka and ZOB. DBeams is surprisingly well built in the upper body, big difference to some of our other guys. To me Golby has improved his running capacity after his injury, he was doing really well in the running sessions.
They then broke up into 2 bigger groups for more running. So originally there was 6 groups running then they took the first 3 groups and moved them to the other oval and kept the other 3 to continue running on the larger oval. Golby was the stand out for the guys that stayed on the larger oval and McStay was really good on the smaller oval.
The coaches also went for a run away from the playing group while the fitness staff looked after the players.
Big media turn out by Brisbane standards so expect some articles this afternoon and some interviews as well.

So I went along this morsning too.
A bit of skills stuff to start and then, as mentioned, a bit of match simulation stuff. Not too much to report there as it was token pressure only ("let him take the mark"), although Rich was definitely playing that quaterback role and McStay was up forward. In saying that, Zorko was back pocket for a while, so you probably can't take too much notice of positions.
Then they moved onto the running. Coming from a running background myself, I was actually a bit surprised how easy the running was. 6 x 400m going at about 1:20-25 pace, leaving on the 3 mins. They all pretty much stayed in their groups given the modest pace, except the last group of young, tall players that spread out. Bourke and Smith struggled a bit.
Then they broke up and about 10 players, that I assume needed extra work, did 2 x 3min efforts (missed how long the break was) while the better runners did some fartlek (slow, fast, slow, fast) stuff on the other oval.
Golby was the stand out of the blokes on the main oval, although Justin Clarke, leaving in the group 10 sec behind Golby ran really well in the second one, only Golby and maybe Adcock ran further (he beat Green and Harwood). I also thought Freeman was impressive in the progress he's made. In the games he played this year he looked like he needed to be subbed after running through the banner, but he onlly finished about 5-10 metres behind Green and Harwood and infront of Gardiner. So while I don't think he'll ever have that Brown/Cloke type tank, it at least gives me confidence that he'll be able to have an AFL level tank, which I was concerned about. Smith and Bourke again were miles off the back (at least 150m, which is massive over 3 mins), which particularly for Bourke going into his 3rd preseason, is a bit worrying.
Saw Sarah Kelly having a good chat to some old timers that were down there watching. She seems like a really down-to-earth person to have on the board. Also gave one of them her email address so they could properly give her some feedback on some topic which i didn't hear properly. Made sure she got his name too, so she'd know to look out for it. Good to see.
