Did you see him trying to pull his jumper down and stretch it out during the warm-up?Each player had their measurements taken and guernsey tailor made...

I am amazed by this too. Krak looked much fitter when he came back from injury for the last games of 2012. He went to Utah, then I queried if he was missing from some training sessions post-Utah. He appears to be carrying extra weight, and was huffing and puffing on the interchange bench on Friday night. I love the guy, really want him to do well this year, for himself and for us, but something seems amiss. Or maybe I am just paranoid and reading too much into this. Speculation usually gets me nowhere.I'm a huge fan of Krak, love to watch him play, but he did look like he was carrying a few extra pounds to me too.
I find that rather bewildering coming off pre-season.. They've been training hard and their fitness under constant scrutiny.
All I can say is it's great to see you back in action Snoop Dog! Sight for sore eyes.
Nice review. Krakouer has been in a good paddock hasn't he? Far out he needs to lose about 10 kilos.
Good review Snoop although I can't agree with your take on Harry O. Thought he had a pretty sad night full of errors. Hopefully it's just a blow the cobwebs out night for him.
You also mentioned Sidebottom's shot for goal. I've always been amazed that a bloke who kicked 10 in a TAC Cup Grand Final misses so many set shots. Frustrates me more than anything.
Clinton Young's kicking was off but I'm putting that down to missing so much pre-season training and he certainly seemed to be running himself into the ground so legs would have been battling a bit.
Jordan Russell was impressive and could be a good option for some of the forwards who have given us a tough time over the last few seasons.
Not really sure but I was wondering if Clokes 2 uncontested chest marks late in game 2 are partially a result of Lynch's presence. It's going to be harder to double team Cloke if Lynch keeps presenting and looks threatening which was sadly the reason why Dawesy dropped off.
Thought it was significant that in last few minutes against Bombers Ben Hudson was important with big mark, good chase and also had a massive hand in last centre clearance. Massive competitor.
Over all I thought we looked up and about for a rd one practice match.
Yagmoor is just playing out his Contract
Great review and Snoop's is one of the threads I wait to open up each week during the season But there was some definite channeling of Bruce in this one....
I am baffled with this Bruce Mac stuff.....what's the go?

Thoughts on Clinton Young's game? Met expectations?
Yeah, you finish a statement with "doesn't he?" just like Bwuce.It's the rhetorical questions
Krakouer turned up for training over-weight last season then did his knee. Perhaps he has problems doing the right thing by his body during the off-season.looks like Krispy Kreme opened in his suburb.
He'll be ok though

Harry was just......horrid.
He's never been quick obviously and the game gets quicker every year, I just thought he looked slow and maybe a fraction of his perfect playing weight which is not unusual at this time of year.
The time will come where his value as a crumbing goal kicker is dated as his defensive pressure diminishes (hopefully later rather than sooner). What seems clear though is if he is half a yard behind his opponent he is out of the contest more often than not.
great work Snoop I wasn't able to watch it so love the write up. Was there anything about the gameplan you took note of, good bad or indifferent? Understanding of course it was our first hit in a trial match I'm still curious to see how we go about it this year.
It's the rhetorical questions
Thought he was horrible pretty much all 2012 except for the prelim final. Same can be said with Maxwell. Now that we have some depth down there they actually need to play well to warrant a game. There's a good chance one of them won't be best 22 come finals and my moneys on O'Brien since Maxwell's the capitan^^ I watched the replays again yesterday and the rubbish that gets said about Harry does my head in.
He mucked up a couple of times but didn't butcher it every time like suggested. In fact, he delivered a few lace out passes too.
He's everybodies whipping boy as of late. He actually had a great second half of season 2012 but all anyone remembers was his poor start to the year.
