Despite what others have said Elijah Hollands looks in great nick in today's photos.

Big call I know but he is my smokey to make the AA team this year.

New year, test series done, focus back on footy. Awaiting the hardest pre-season ever feedback, lotsa love for the new fitness regime, talk of layers, just please football gods get our lines to learn to co-ordinate better.

I'd like him to keep his feet more

Apparently Jack ready for full contact work. Charlie still to be eased into it but seems fine. Acres may take a few weeks but no issues. Can't find anything definitive on Saad but hints are he isn't 100%. Cincotta injury quite serious and will miss pre season

Club very impressed with younger players so far. Many really pushing senior players.

Game simulation to start in 1-2 weeks. Be very interesing to see who plays where and who stands out

I asked about SSP and no one can say who will be picked. It's very very tight and any injuries over next month or so could decide

A regular track watcher named Binns Williams Lord Cowan Cerra as pre standouts so far but many doing well. Plus Smith is a genuine star

Body use, if improved will make him a much better player…

That would be a little surprising but incredible for him and the club

That would be a little surprising but incredible for him and the club

Last year he averaged 18 touches and 3/4 a goal per game in his first season at the club and despite serving a 3 game suspension at the start of the season.

Not too hard to see him improve by 25% this year which puts him at 22 touches and a goal a game roughly. Not too many can do that as a primary half forward with the occasional chop out on ball.

I believe I had him as a top 5 BnF poller in my predictions in the 2025 predictor thread. I think he's a seriously underrated talent, if he can get his body to the next level his footy IQ and kicking talent is as good as we have on the list. If he starts winning his contests too and finding more space through his running power he'd be a handful.

My suspicion is that it might take a year or two longer than we expect though. Hoping this year is the year he explodes.

Everything from the footage so far just looks incredible re Jagga. The perfect pod mid we needed to compliment our big brutes. I suspect Walshy will love feeding off of him in transition more than anyone else.

Hoping Cowan has a more involved role this year too, he's a fantastic player but was pigeonholed a bit last year to play more lockdown. His games where he played up the ground a bit more were awesome.
