Well spotted, that appears to be Cox.
Rafa definitely putting on size.
Interesting to see Witherden in one of the photos running at the back with Archie. Unless Archie's running has come on in leaps and bounds, it's probably not a good sign for a potential move from the backline to the midfield for Witherden.
Although it's hard to tell the whole story from one photo....

Need a birth certificate check on Andrews. Comes across as someone with a lot of experience and at least 25 years old but apparently not even 21.

The new training kit looks pretty good.

I would have considered them in their 5th season but if they classify people about to play their 5th season as 4th year players then fair enough.
I also would like an update on Berry.......those stunts he was doing on his instagram show a healthy foot, will be really peed if he has hurt it again or is a new injury...
Am I the only one who thinks it is too early to be back in training? December would surely be early enough, still giving them plenty of time before any real stuff starts I'd have thought.
..just worried they get tired before even starting.

Second that, pretty keen to get a pair of those shorts
Every non-finals club starts at nearly the exact same time every year.
The players' workloads are a well studied science these days and AFL is one of the most demanding aerobic sports on Earth, they need to run and alot. Most of the guys would not have stopped running from about 3 days after their last game.

We wouldn't have any first year players if you read it any other way, because they haven't been drafted yet.
Eagles and Barrett might have been first year players last pre-season
Barrett was drafted in 2013, like the other 4th year boys. But sure, I could have it wrong and the club might not be good at maths.
The 2018 season hasn't started mate. The 2013 draft class had their first season in 2014 and 2017 is their 4th season. They haven't been here for 4 years until November 25. It's the end of their 4th year and it's the end of McLuggage & co's first year. Training has started for those in their 1st to 4th year.
I was just trying to explain how/why all those guys are training. Didn't think even you would want to debate it.

I said it was fair enough to consider those drafted in 2013 fourth year players.
I also said Barrett could have been considered a first year player last year. Also no mention of Eagles.
It’s just a discussion given we don’t know exactly how the club determines what a first year player, etc. is.
I shamelessly stole that pic from the Lions FB page, but since they're unlikely to chase me down over it, here's the others from their post:

Mcstay still a monster
Those shorts are delightful

Players still in their first year.
I’d call the final game of the season the end of a year, not one year since the draft or the first of January or the end of pre season but each to their own.
I reckon they’ve got it pretty right McMum. Apart from collision injuries the past season and Mitch and Berrys foot (correct me if I’m wrong) our soft tissue stuff wasn’t as bad as previous seasons. Seems to me like well tailored individual programs amongst the group training to manage correct loads.
Harro mentioned a few times in his interview that building the fitness base in pre season training was important and something he was looking forward too.
Matho came home for around 9 days with Nick and they went through their session together. Never missed a beat. They’re super keen to get into it again.
That’s great to hear about the boys. Hope Matho tries to stick with Robbo to get his endurance up as I’ve got high hopes for him this year. Reckon your boy will do very well with Hodge down back. Is Rhys as a ‘different cat’ that he’s made out to be?
Rhys is a cracker lad. Very respectful and very likeable. Very conscientious and committed to his footy.
We really enjoyed having him over.
I have no clue on that one. Didn’t even know he still had a problem.Thanks for that Robbo18! Sounds very encouraging. Guess I worry too much that we'll be cooked and that anything that can go wrong will go wrong, like the Lions of old...
...have to get used to this new-look Lions
..oh yes I forgot, any goss on JBerry's foot?
Hope he’s ok!
