Funny I thought I was looking in a mirror that’s exactly how I looked at my last blood test…

 

[kazzooka]

Have they split into groups yet? Where did Sic, Weds and Battle go if yes?

This is what interests me. I think the most obvious thing is that Battle replaces Weddle in the backline but then where does Weddle go?

Wing or CHF?

This.
I reckon Weddle goes to CHF and free to roam anywhere, then chop out around the ground in the ruck

 

[Hawked Wings]

Impey Barrass Hardwick
Sicily Battle Scrimshaw
Amon Newcombe Mass
Moore Weddle Macdonald
Watson Chol Dear

Meek Day Nash

Worpel Ginnivan Mackenzie Ward
Sub- Breust

Depth- Gunston, Morrison, Frost, CJ, Magginness, Ramsden, Serong.

Think the last spot on the bench (ward) is up for grabs still, building some serious depth this team and it’s awesome

As long as we have somebody holding the opposition interceptor accountable. No point Weddle going up getting kicks on the wing and then having a loose man infront of Dear at every F50 entry.

I get the photos are from different positions/angles - but this pic of Mraz compared to that wall behind him and where other players are against it - he looks like a bloody giant. PH or other track watchers - any chance he's grown a tad from his listed draft height?

I don't think this is what you're after or will give justice (or an indicator) on what his real height his (specially with those positions/slouches/angles).
But Mraz is here in the photo along with BR and TB.
I wished he walked upstairs with some teammates.

Thanks as always Pinoy, the kid is a UNIT! Love the shot of him behind Ramma, he's running across the top of the ground. Serious ariel skills.: )

Just saw Ch10 sports report and the boys must have trained today. Impey was interviewed …… what a well spoken delightful character and its individuals like Jars that creates great culture. Can’t remember where I saw it or heard it during the year but when we were 0-5 three players stood out and were mentioned/highlighted for their positivity and kept pushing teammates on high standards, extra sessions etc. It was Moore, Scrim and Impey

Jarman Impey is a quality human being. He reminds me of Johnny Platten, not an extroverted character but just all heart like the Rat was.

As you say it's players like Jars that keep a club together when times get tough.

Media career after footy for Jars if he wants it.

He's just so pleasant to listen to.

Wrote a great article about his bond with his dad as well so he has ability with the written word as well.

I agree he would be very good in the media post playing career.

But it’s good luck

 

[PLATTS44]

Pics of some of our new and not so new players post training today.

Barras, Lewis, Blanck, Sic, Amon in rehab group.
Weddle, Hardwick, Imps attended their first main training.
Punky, Chol and Frosty nowhere in sight.

I was thinking the same thing, looks primed for a big season.

Hardwick up forward, could we see him feature more in the center!

Wing or CHF?

Hawks are going to throw it around all year. Hardwick Sicily Weddle Battle will be changed week to week and at times quarter to quarter. It’s going to be very unpredictable and very fun

Need a Mraz photo next to Serong

 

[threesixpio]

Thanks for that. Very impressed with Sam's resilience. Hope he has a really good season and stays injury free. Would love to see him force his way into the side at some stage.

Yeah there’s a whole bunch of “forgotten players” for me and he is in that boat. Seamus and Blank are another two. Gee I like what we are building

Oh Impey seems like a total legend of a bloke. Can’t wait to see what he does post football. Actually yes I can. Impey for Norm Smith x 10

With the training groups is there anyone training in a different group this year, like Sicily or Serong training with the forwards, Croc with the midfielders etc.

 

[CHUBBSS]

Barass and Battle in the defence is like having two pillars of mount Olympus on the field, weddle and Sicily will cause havoc forward and wing.

Hardwick leadership and ability to manage the defence is extremely under rated to.

Far to excited to early to watch how we structure up

He ain’t causing havoc anywhere

But Weddle might

Weddle was the player I meant, I have clearly lost the plot
