Really wish they'd put the black training shirts on the club shop and not charge a 100% markup because it's got an eagles logo on it like the $80 training shorts.

Observations from today (got there at 9.30 so missed first part, finished a bit after 10.30)

• Absentees (at least players I didn’t spot) - Hurn, O’Neill, Winder, Jones, Darling, LEdwards
• Modified (as in just did fitness work) - Yeo, Waterman, Bazzo, Foley, Barrass
• Hunt got to know his teammates by doing run throughs and laps by himself
• Disappeared/left early - Gaff, Shuey, SPS, Ryan
• Noobs - Hewett, Ginbey, Dewar, Baker were out there. Didn’t really do anything whilst I was there. Simmo had a chat to them as a group for about 5 minutes. Looked to be explaining one of the drills (moving the ball by hand in a small congested space to find someone running out the front). They all left not long after I got there
• The two NGA boys are very light framed but that’s not really news
• More intensity and urgency in the drills today than previous. More chat and vocalisation. Schofield in particular was urging players on
• Speaking of Schofield he seemed to be in charge of the session with Simmo happy to be more of an observer.
• Gaff when he was out there was moving pretty well and looks a little lighter than last year
• I think I said it last time but it warrants repeating. Across the board the players look in good shape, the club couldn’t be unhappy with the way they’ve presented for preseason
• Culley is an early standout from what I’ve seen. In very good physical condition and looks hard. He’s not express pace, which we knew, but he’s running well
• Clark is also looking good and he and Culley are hard to tell apart from a distance - kicking left (Culley) and right (Clark) the observable difference. NB: Culley has shortened his dreads and ties them up under his cap so doesn’t stand out as easily anymore
• The group that missed last season (Cole, Chesser, Allen, Sheed, even Gov) are all training and moving well
• Yeo is probably the least advanced of the playing group in his preparation but no cause for meltdowns just yet. It is only December, he’s running and isn’t fat
• Naitanui is easing himself in to training but knees don’t seem to be bothering him
• It’s not particularly important but with apologies to Dark Sharks your mate Jacob Brennan

is still there as an assistant

Think that’s it.

Full training starts Monday and they’ve pushed the start time back to 9.00 (from 8.30) so I should be able to see a bit more next week

So if we remove the 100% mark-up, then who's going to pay to have my Porsche serviced? You think I'll pay for it out of my allowance? Pfffft!

 

[DanWA]

I read the Nic Nat line as Naitanui is eating himself into training

 

[DanWCE]

JJ and Winder in Melb at the moment

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

• Gaff when he was out there was moving pretty well and looks a little lighter than last year

Hopefully means he will spend more time on the wing than the guts since they apparently also slimmed down Clark for that type of role. Doubt it tho.

 

[boondy]

An issue of great importance....what's up with SPS's blonde wig!?

Sri Lankan look

 

[Coasters7]

If Ginbey could either cut that shit off the back of his head or grow it right out that would be wonderful

[Nuffington Post]

Article in the West about today’s training session mentioned Yeo is recovering from another calf injury. I don’t want to melt just yet but geez it’s getting tough for him. Also unclear how long ago this injury was.

Um, yeah, just like to, uh, thank the fans uh sticking by us through the rough times and uh... all the best to... all the boys and uh let's have a ****ing good year.

 

[THE A5]

Reckon Hough when he fills out will end up looking like this legend

 

[RookiePick]

Clear evidence standards have dropped. Our 06 legends were ripped af.

No shit hey. Some of the delts on those boys. Cuzzy driving the standards on and off the field

 

[flamingEMBERS]

Clear evidence standards have dropped. Our 06 legends were ripped af.

Chesser seems to bringing the standards back

 

[Dark Sharks]

Redden was in good nick, Legdon also..

But now they are gone, so it's up to Naitanui to set the standard.

 

[Keys]

Pretty excited to see what he can do next year with a proper preseason under his belt and time to settle in

Like I said yesterday he’s been an early standout on the track

 

[The wily weagle]

• Culley is an early standout from what I’ve seen. In very good physical condition and looks hard. He’s not express pace, which we knew, but he’s running well

Thats my boy I am very, very bullish on this kid heading into this season

 

[Carbine Chaos]

He's got a great attitude, can't wait to see him continue to improve during 2023.

 

[Godfather32]

He's got a great attitude, can't wait to see him continue to improve during 2023.

It's exciting having some quality young midfielders on the list to watch develop over the next few years

 

[ep2018]

We need to re-sign him asap
