The old faithful "know someone who knows someone who knows the player's family etc" post...but i actually do. From what I heard is that Blues did everything short of take him for a drive and dump him on the side of the road and drive off to get PD to take a trade. From what I hear he was adament that he was going to fight for his list spot - that shpws he want to do the work. I hope for his (and Blues) he can get over the hump and find a role.

The only way Paddy survives at Carlton, is by playing as the number 1 extractor and to just let him hunt the pill, but he will never displace any of our starting 4-5 midfield options and would struggle to do the same at any other club

Maybe play him in the guts at the ruck's feet and say Paddy hnadball only - ban him from kicking

Et tu gbatman?

We should have an auto translator every time someone uses the term “supplements saga” instead of “illegal performance enhancing drug scandal”

* “illegal performance enhancing drug scandal enacted by a bunch of dirty cheating mongrels who should have been expelled from the league and lost their 1993 cup"

Some of his mates were influential which is to be expected. Sometimes getting the balance between encouragement and honesty is difficult.

What a terrible thing to say!

Conspiracy theory: PD knows a thing or two about herniated discs.

Nah mate. Can’t do Wednesday, Missus working and a 6yo to get to school. Had my little drive knowing no guarantees, but had twice done similar for positive results three and four years back before the Covid lockdown and cuts. Calculated risk and “lost”. I don’t get out much with some health issues. Was a big effort, but enjoyed the outing (not as much as would have liked) many an hour driving to country race meetings in another lifetime. A hop, skip, and jump for us old country folk. Back home now 700km round trip after taking slightly scenic route on way back.

Just make sure those who can make it Wednesday share the info (and pics) please.

Edit: 10 am start, just wow. Will be cooking, has been ultra tropical of late. Today no exception.

FWIW Suns focussed on rather manic ball movement like many clubs these days. A team pretty good, L and P platers in second team, not so much. “D word” has some work to do, so to speak…

Probably the best Suns training report I’ve ever read.

That’s the most I’ve ever heard Kempy speak. Not the most loquacious of lads. Good bloke and funny.

After watching the boys train last week let me just say this.

Kennedy is a lock for round 1. He completed the warm ups and agility drill before going into the gym. Looked light on his feet and is in the best shape I’ve ever seen. Has literally changed his body shape from being solid/slightly heavy to the classic V shape. Looked ultra powerful. Has obviously put in a power of work over the pre-season. I also see he is back in to full training in the Gold Coast.

Was clearly being managed in readiness from round 1. Will be knocking them over come round 1. Can’t wait..

Great to hear. Still has plenty of time to get 100%. Shouldnt be an issue for round 1.

He’ll be ready. One of our best round 1 last year…

He needs to hide them better!

It'll be interesting to see how he goes this year. He had a good year overall but was unreal from preseason to round 3 then never quite reached the same heights after. Would love to see him get back to that level. He also has the ability to mark and hit the scoreboard more which we didnt see much.

I saw him warming up indoors last Wednesday. I completely agree, his body shape is the best I have seen, absolutely cut

People were delisting him a year or so ago.......
