Yep.

Had a bit of a look today.

Stringer was moving well.
Al of the big young fellas were moving well including Cox, Reid And Bryan.
Draper looked in good shape.
Tsatas kicking is bad. Turned it over two plays in a row doing the kicking out of defence. Now these may have been his only bad kicks for the day but they were right in front of me.
There is a young son of a former indigenous St Kilda player training with us who caught my eye. He looked sharp. Not sure of his name but is training with the main group.
Cox looked a million dollars until Brad Scott walked near him. Took some grabs and his kicking was great until it wasn’t!
Zach Reid was moving beautifully. Looks bigger and ready to go.
Vander18 ’s boy moved well and looks ready.

The word on the street was that some of the injured young players pushed themselves a bit too hard trying to perform/ felt the pressure of expectation last year. All seemingly pushing for a spot round one this year.

Caddy took a massive hanger in the first part of match sim .

Highlights so far, an absolute hanger from Nate Caddy and a kick a few minutes later that made the guys on the boundary impregnate their pants

Vanders boy also got out marked 5 Zip against Bryan in the marking drills. Has ability and reads it well but still needs some strength despite the big shoulders.

Perris is the ex Saints guy.

And the bad side was horrible kick across field for a turnover.

Martin getting a bit of footy at half back but has had some turnovers.

Cox looks comfortable at half back . Taken a few intercept marks .

McKay rarely beaten .

Godly winning the ruck.

Stringer not dominating but getting some midfield time. Good hit out.

Durham also had some midfield minutes and a couple of good clearances.

Kelly wing and half back . Had a lot of the footy .

Caddy such an exciting prospect. So happy we traded up for him. He’s exactly the type of player we’ve needed

Is he a lock for R1? Asking around SuperCoach. I think him and Reid start but interested to hear from Bombers fans.

Love the idea of Durham getting some midfield minutes. He's quite good at extracting the ball at ground level — gathers it really cleanly.

This shows that people see different things .
Martin had several turnovers straight to the opposition.
Caddy was held . Did some really good stuff but did not totally dominate.
