Not sure if this link will work, but Enhanced Football is worth following on SM; here they are working with some of our young lads.

This is great. Thanks for sharing. Those nets look similar to the one slips fielders practice with in cricket.

This was posted on YouTube yesterday. At this time of year, if Damien Austin is happy, I'm happy.

Weird, Damo said if Grasshopper is happy, he's happy!

This is a super good training video (pre-pre-season) of an experienced Josh Dunkley and a young Logan Morris.
Well explained as they go through a skill session.

I always tend to find that the boys generally look very lean at this point in the Pre-Season but tend to bulk up a bit as the season progresses.
So they can take the bumps and bruises as the matches get under way.
I think I remember Dayne Zorko talking about this a year or 2 ago.

Definitely not imagining things. Boy is LEAN

 

[Section 5]

My image of Cam in a running session in 2018. He was always a solid built lad and now has toned down well.

He is leading the pack in the photo but very misleading.
It was an exercise where the players ran as fast as they could in an anticlockwise direction.

The whistle is blown. The players stop and stay where they are for about 20 seconds for recovery.
Cam was stone motherless way behind the 2nd last player.

They turn around and wait till the whistle goes again running clockwise. Cam started with a big lead of course.
The image is past the 1/2-way mark in the run where he was leading. After another 150 meters he ended up just past the middle of the field.
However, i could see he was giving his all but just no endurance.
We were all aware that was his weakness and of course this was his first preseason in a Brisbane summer.

Hollow Knight was just telling us how he hates this word!

 

[Viceregal]

My first thought was a rip off of the All American Prophet song from The Book of Mormon musical but with the lyrics all about the Lions / Lions players ... probably not though!
