My favourite SPS highlight was him not wearing that heavy strapping on his knee what’s the bet round 1 he will have it on and will be hobbling around the field like he did last year.

Such a shame Kennedy had to retire like this.
Looked very good. If his tank is up to scratch, could be a very handy player for us this year.

Am actually more ok if it was Culley (also love the whodunnit vibe in general). Can coach out the stupid stuff like that with a few exposed AFL incidents/embarassment but can't reteach being a campaigner which I love.
If it's a fill-in that's annoying. They'd know the job would be to put physical pressure on, make things hard around the contest and maybe stake a claim for whatever side they're trying to play for (potentially our WAFL) but not start any real pettiness.
Not going to do them any favours if that's the vibe they're putting out.

Agree, took some big grabs around the CHF area. Could he develop as a centre half forward, leaving JD as the 3rd tall? Would be very useful.

Hope so - feel like a true CHF has to have genuine footy smarts as it's such a gameplan centric position to play. Dunno if that's his area, I'd be happy if he slowly increases his forward threat level to the point where he warrants a very solid defender who can't intercept off him. Set shot accuracy would be massive in this regard, all well and good to take a big mark 30m out but if you can't finish it kills the side.
Anyone else other than a 73yr old man think they've got it figured out it wasn't Culley?
Well I didn’t have Culley in my top 5 suspects so that’s a great result.

"In the professional football system, the Eagles are represented by two separate, yet equally important, groups: the probables, who are on the fringe of selection; and the possibles, who serve as depth for the team or play in the Beagles. These are their stories."

Elbows Culley it was, I saw him. That is to say, I seen him.

SPS looked very good in the highlights!
He does need a big year, as this could be his last crack.

His hairdo looks hilarious, reminds me of Harpo Marx!
Certainly won't lose him in traffic - but as long as his footy looks good...!
This...lots of this please!

Pleasingly both lads stayed out for the whole session. There was no contact work but given Bazzo was doing rehab before his mothers tragedy and Simpson expected he’d be back in rehab on his return it’s encouraging he trained fully
Fair few players did only light work (kick to kick, handball drills, goal kicking practice) - Naitanui, Allen, Ginbey, Dewar, Baker, Petruccelle, LEdwards, Barnett, Shuey, Waterman, Duggan and Chesser
Darling and JWilliams unsighted which was no great surprise
In the back part of the session, Simpson had lengthy chats with McGovern and then Yeo. Not animated but it looked more than a how you going chit chat
Ryan dropping torps two thirds post high from outside 50 a highlight
Still need to tidy up some skills- too many balls falling short or going overhead
Long continues to impress
Watched Allen for a bit - saw nothing to either confirm or refute him having a tight hamstring
Not much else to report on

Lighter training session this morning, not a whole heap to take out of it in terms of who looked good but there were a few other interesting things to note. Session started at 10am and all were inside by 11:30.
- Trew and Bazzo are back training which is great to see. Simmo mentioned the other week that Bazzo was currently injured but he showed no sign of it today. Did pretty much everything, Trew trained fully too.
- No sign of Darling, JWilliams or Jordyn Baker today
- There wasn’t anyone training on the opposite oval, though a fair few took it easy today - Allen, Barnett, Shuey, Petruccelle, Dewar, Ginbey, Naitanui, LEdwards, Waterman, Chesser and Duggan warmed up and trained separately from the main group.
- Those boys did a bit of skills work - kick to kick, some set shots, handballing in close, nothing too strenuous.
- Duggan, Chesser and Shuey headed in around 10:30 and the rest of them went inside about 15 minutes later.
- Hurn and Jones split their time between those guys and the main group. Both, particularly Jones who ran laps by himself at the start, took it quite easy but otherwise trained most of the session.
- When they split into line groups Culley spent a bit of time with the forwards, and later on did some high ball marking practice with the key position players - Barrass, HEdwards, BWilliams etc. He’s pretty tall for a mid so it may well have just been filling a hole as a taller forward with the drills they were doing - he’s 193cm and our tall forwards are all currently not training fully so would make sense.
- Hewett went inside early around 11:00 after talking to the trainers, looked in a bit of discomfort doing some stretches. Might be nothing but thought it was interesting.
- Jamieson also went inside early at some point during the session, though he was training fully at the start.
- Barrass and BWilliams stayed out for about 10 minutes after everyone else had gone inside to work on high marking and set shots
Looking at that little, little clip of hi-lights I think there is a bit of focus on tackling.

For those that go to training (thanks heaps for the notes from the sessions btw) - how is Culley tracking in general? Not so much obviously from lighter sessions like today but in general / stoppage drills etc does it look like he is right in the mix to start on ball?

May have been someone else then, hard to see from the other side of the oval. He had bright green boots which I think Hewett was wearing.
Alternatively he may have come back outside and I didn’t notice.
