Look at the size of the legs on Schache!!

I figure it gave it a more 'live reporting' vibe.
For some reason everyone got really positive after my reports and nobody liked any of the posts where I pointed out mistakes...
Christensen looked like he'd slimmed down noticeably when I went out on Monday. My mate I was there with commented on it too
Damien Austin singled him out as one of the guys whose running was impressive. I'd expect that he was in pretty good nick.
They do say that the camera adds 10 pounds. ...... not sure how many cameras are pointing at him in that picture though

I'd say he is carrying two, several lenses, a tripod and a some old film from 2000.
I might get laughed at but I reckon the lion on the shirt doesn't help.
At least that's the excuse I'll use when I wear the shirt
went down to training this morning. most of the time they spent on kicking/handball drills. looked pretty clean for the most part. then the last half an hour they did repeat sprints, think they were 100 and 300 metre sprints. the usuals led most of the time ie. Robertson, bell. I thought archie smith looked pretty good. of interest, at the end of the session some of the boys were trying some trick shots at goal, schache looked pretty awesome set shot. Mathieson was kicking out 65 metre torps from the goal square. and hanley kicked a few on his left from 50 that sailed through the middle.
the boys were all friendly I had my 3 grand kids there and they had a chat to them on the fence, lewy and zorks especially. afterwards were sitting down for lunch at nandos and 5 of the boys sat down next to us they all said g'day and bye when we left very polite young fellas.
sorry not up to the james north training report standard.

josh walker was there he was mainly doing stationary drills, and then did a heap of slow laps. on that josh watts was also doing a lot of laps, but he was doing them at a hell of a pace, very fit young boy.

On the contrary, for anyone who lives outside QLD, any report like this is much appreciated!went down to training this morning. most of the time they spent on kicking/handball drills. looked pretty clean for the most part. then the last half an hour they did repeat sprints, think they were 100 and 300 metre sprints. the usuals led most of the time ie.

Having just re-watched the Leppa presser from this week, it is good to see him looking more relaxed and back to his humorous self. There was a period towards the end of the season where you could see the stress in his face and hear it in his voice. Good to see him back to his old-self again. Perhaps a sign that the review he instigated has had a positive effect on his relationship with the players (or maybe I am reading too much in to it!)
forgot to mention before, while the boys were shooting for goals at the end of the session leppa was trying as well (still got a good leg on him) he was in a group with a few of the younger boys and hanley. the laughter and comaradarie was really good.
I think this pre-seasons training reports and such have so far been the best yet. Thanks heaps to those who provide the update. Much appreciated. 
great to hear
Curious if anyone has paid attention to Mathison during the training?? The big knock on him was his endurance so curious if he's been working hard in the lead up to draft night and preseason training.
matheison was completing all the training that all the non recovery group did. except the sprints at the end don't think any of the first year boys were doning the repeat sprints. matheison did look like a natural footballer in the handball drills. ie running/receiving/getting handballs out in tackles/picking out targets in traffic.
other observations i remembered overnight.
1. jono freeman looks like a beast, really solid muscle definition no baby fat there anymore.
2. thought bundy looked exceptionally fit. he also did a one on one session with (snap shots) one of the young boys. didn't recognize who it was. there were a few really young boys there. might have been the 2016/17 academy boys.
3. didn't notice rocky there, i'm sure i would have if he was.
4. i did mention him a bit earlier, but archie really impressed me with his running kicking and handballing, he looks really fit and developed now.
5. dan mcstay's kicking looked fantastic, low bullet like kicks over around the 20/30/40 meter range.
6. there was a young fella kicking looked great on both sides, not 100% sure who it was but think it was cian hanley.
i'm going to go down again 1 or 2 times before chrissy, i'll take a notebook next time so i can jot down some points i can put online all at once instead of relying on memory

Why are brisbane still training in their 2014/2015 training apparel? Most clubs have already upgraded to their next year counterparts, yet they're still behind the pack. It especially doesn't make sense' considering National Storage and Garuda Indonesia are not even sponsoring this club anymore. #Notsurewhatisgoingonhere
Have they finalised just jumper sponsors for 2016?
