Also went today - very wet.
Haven't been to training for many years but a few observations.
1. Daisy Thomas must be one of those guys that lifts the mood of all around him. He was the most vocal and always smiling/laughing while doing the outdoor drills in spite of the pissing rain. I can understand why MM would always love to have someone like that in the group - even if it cost us plenty of $.
2. Menzel has put on some serious muscle - he would definitely have the size to spend more time in the heat in the middle.
3. Cripps looked like he was carrying a bit of puppy-fat last year. Body shape has changed considerably. Much more muscle upstairs and legs looking far more more athletic. I so hope he and Whiley can make big contributions this year - will transform our set up as a team if those 2 can be competitive in the guts.

Gibbs and Murph seemed quite quiet during drills. Jamo and Rowe far more "out there" (as was Thomas as above). Adds weight to statements form a couple of years ago that the group in general was quite introverted.

Oh and did I say Jones looked like Coleman/Kernahan/Ablett morphed into the 1 player!!

a great Singer?

Been reluctant to post this given what ended up happening but Toad's photos have brought it all flooding back.

I went to a couple of preseason training sessions and got my photo taken with a player.....would never have done it if i knew how it was going to end!!

Yeah, but did you shake his hand?

Such a waste of a talent.............and no-one will ever believe me.

She had a ball today, and to cap it off, as we were leaving we ran into David Roden in the car park. My daughter is a big fan of his from DWS.
She was very thankful for the day.

Also I was planning on going today but a mixture of laziness/going to bed late/hearing the rain when my alarm went put me off. Here's hoping next week doesn't throw such a horrible combination of events.

Having just started my first pre-season in years, damn do I have some respect for the boys. Running around is harder than it looks

Every time I jump on the bike I immediately think how much easier it looks on SBS in July.
