Imagine naming your son and then spelling his name wrong.

Grainger-Barras struggling with fitness it seems. Reports he blew up running laps last week and this morning finished last and distressed in a 16 man trial over 2.2k. (per Hawkboy62). Too pricey for me anyway, but that doesn't inspire confidence of an early season start.

In fairness I almost keeled over myself out in the heat a few minutes back, but I'm not a fit, young and healthy athlete.

That's certainly worrying news about DGB. I was under the impression that he was pretty much a shoe-in to play 22 games in Hawthorn's backline this year.

Guess I'd better start making some alternate teams just in case.

Sounds like Downie is going alright though.

Word is that Fraser Rosman won Melbourne's time trial today over Neal-Bullen and a fully fit Tmac. Could be in for an earlier debut than expected.

After going so close to winning the flag last year, Selwood was adamant that the Cats were “not that far off again” and their push towards going one better will be reliant on improvement from younger players as well.

“The boys are running well, they just learn to carry their weight a bit better, a bit like the horses,” Selwood said.

“A guy like Jordan Clark

who was close to our [best] 22 last year but needed to work a little bit on a few things on his game and he’s gone away and done that which has been really encouraging,” Selwood said.

“And then other guys that we’ll probably look out for early in the year is Cooper Stephens and Sam De Koning, they were our first two picks in last year’s [2019] draft.”

The two SC relevant guys for Essendon are Harrison Jones and Archie Perkins.

Doubt we have much else to get excited about SC wise.

Keep an eye out for Lachlan Johnson & Tom Hird though as cheap cheap players for mid - late in the season.

Ha, I just learned that Lachlan is Chris Johnson's boy. I wonder why Brissy didn't Father Son him?

TBH I can't see much JS in a side that just picked up Isaac Smith and Shaun Higgins as running types , and Jez Cameron, at the trade table last year.
Firmly in the window.

I like this wookie already.

Hope he's the next Greg Broughton of SC defender rookies.

Big raps on this kid.

The one that got away - was the big white hope on the Saints board come draft night....

Pheonix spicer has shown good signs this preseason.
Got big raps from Mcdonald in presser today.
Kicked 2 in intraclub practice and has impressed a lot so one to watch.
Kid has super speed and skills on the run, pretty light for his size though.
117k Mid/fwd dpp.

Feedback in Adelaide is all these .....but flash's in & out ...way too many outs to get enough possessions to be SC relevant ATS

Yes he is listed as 173cm and 64kg they wouldn't want to play him at the G he will be swirling around the air with all the chip packets.

 

[Shinboner1]

Looks to be ok from the training video posted today.
Miss the first tackle and he's off running.
