Bad luck for Jagga but if he isn't into dik pics then he'll be sacked by the Board after one year.

A new President, I think you mean.
Brian Cook definitely not the dick pic type.
Todays training report “PRE”
I went to training today, had the day off and thought why not, first training session I’ve ever been to. I was watching from punt road so a little hard to see anything going on the other side of the ground
Players that I can remember that were in the rehab group:
Prestia - did plenty of one on one training with the coach. He looked fine to me and was doing plenty of running/laps
Tyler Young - did not see him touch a football but did a heap of lap running.
Mykelti - looked so fit you’d think he is ready to go. He did a bit of skills training on his own and did plenty of running/laps. He was kind enough to say hello, I asked how his knee was going and said it going great.
There was plenty of skills training, but hard to tell who was who. There was some sprint training, and it looked like this was only done at 3/4 pace, but the two standouts were Mansell & McCaullif.
I was standing right where the VFL guys were, and they were mainly doing skill work, plus tackling. I didn’t realise, but they don’t join in the main Richmond training. One of the trainers spoke to me saying the VFL guys stand out in the match simulation, because they don’t do any of the main training and are ready to go, while the main group are buggered by match simulation. And he was right, the VFL guys got quite a bit of the ball. One guy I liked, I think think the trainer said his name was Bob? He said he was best on ground for Mt Eliza in last years GF. Anyway I liked the look of him, plus another player, not sure of his name, but was wearing 24. He apparently kicked 3 goals in last week’s match simulation.
I only saw the first 2 15 minute quarters. Very hard to see , but Sampson stood out - took quite a few impressive marks and kicked a goal.
Blight was blitzing at full back, Balta was good too. Taranto and especially Hopper looked good through the middle.
I thought Lalor looked great, was getting in and amongst it. Except for one time at a throw in, he got the ball in traffic and did break a few tackles, but he then got poleaxed by Lynchy- holding the ball, Lynchy then kicked truly from 50
. He looked great out there.
I noticed that Smillie did not even last 5 minutes of match simulation, before he had to come off with some sort of injury. No idea what.

Massive pisstake surely. Even if by the end of his career his achievements eclipsed Martin's absolutely no one would make the comparison in the way they play footy.
You Victorians need to go watch some of the boy's train and get back to us. Surely some of you work in the city.

Damn that was depressing lol
Groupie_ we are in trouble
Another training report from PRE
Well Caesar and The Mole are slow/busy/pre-occupied so I'll provide a report.
Was a good morning with the 2 above mentioned.
Broad and Kosi absent. Broad at a wedding, Kosi unknown.
Training was set up as warm up followed by key drills which focus on skills, and gameplan elements. They are all aligned to the learning that Caesar told us about on Wed, but done in more game day type approaches with rushed kicks, some defensive pressure and a real focus on effort/win the ball, structure (hold your place/width) and the follow up and surge. The amount of effort and repeat effort approach is noticeable.
They then went into a 4 period match sim. 15+mins followed by 12+ mins followed by 10+ mins and then a 7 min "close out" "quarter".
Teams wore either yellow or black with the yellow a little more the probables. Yellows won by a couple of points.
1st period was very good by both teams. Good structure, good workrate and some terrific skills. 2nd period was a little sloppy. 3rd and 4th were good.
Key takeaways:
The buy in to structure and effort is very evident. The draftees struggle a little with the structure but the rest get it and are working hard to the required/desired structure. There is constant verbal support/instruction from team mates and coaches on where to be and when.
A very enjoyable morning.

1st period was very good by both teams. Good structure, good workrate and some terrific skills. 2nd period was a little sloppy. 3rd and 4th were good.
Key takeaways:
- Yellows with Lynch as key forward were better going forward and Lynch kicked 2 or 3 goals out of 6 or 7. He looked good.
- Samson rucked is Nank. Nank shaded the 1st quarter, after that Samson won. Samson was good around the ground as well with some good contested marks.
- Trezise and Smith impressive off half back for the Yellows.
- Hugo played well. Mainly wing but also in some centre square work. Really played well to the game plan holding his space, providing the option and getting involved physically when he had to (spoils and tackles)
- Jack Ross played as an inside mid in periods 3 and 4 and was very good. Hopper had dominated as the inside mid in the first period.
- Lalor laid a brilliant tackle on Nank and also a couple of clearances and stellar passes.
- Trainer did some brilliant defensive stuff (though he did stuff up at least 1 cross field pass that Noah would have been proud of)
- Blight and Miller defensively strong. Blight struggled a little on Lynch initially but lifted and killed some contests really well.
- Seth Campbell did some stunning defensive stuff, tackles, smothers and was clean once he got the ball.
- Fawcett who struggled a little last Friday got far more involved and after some early fumbles held some strong grabs.
- Bauer was a little quiet early and then got heavily involved with some brilliant swoop across the pack marks.
- Banks was solid and got involved and held structure.
The buy in to structure and effort is very evident. The draftees struggle a little with the structure but the rest get it and are working hard to the required/desired structure. There is constant verbal support/instruction from team mates and coaches on where to be and when.
A very enjoyable morning.
So, if big sexy is injured we are stuffed? I'm glad that he is still around to help the younger forwards develop.
Remember a few posters over the trade period saying we should have traded him as well LMAO

Nank played in the match sim, concerning to say the least
Love the way Sims takes a grab. Times his jump perfectly to get it at the apex of his reach. He's gonna be extremely hard to spoil once he fills out.
Even more concerning is he got towelled by Big Sammy
Reckon Slamson has turned a corner. Has been praised in just about every report so far.

BS. He'll be dropping uncontested marks when the real stuff starts

If you mean the player that Ross kicked it to in the highlights, that was Campbell Gray
