If Reef is going to play down back, I guess that's the final nail in the AJ coffin.
Take this as gospel - I have been told AJ is still struggling with social media barrage which is still lingering and affecting him.
My source - it’s impeccable ( not AJ) and told to me directly from someone with intimate and daily involvement with the squad.
I had high hopes but not expecting much now from AJ.

With his attributes I hope he could develop some James Clement type style to his game in defence
He has the athleticism. Just needs to improve his one on one strength and competitiveness

oh, I figured with our recruiting of Membrey, AJ was destined for another role.
Good player. But mostly for Sydney
I’m hoping he gets the occasional rotation through the middle. Just a few minutes every now and again
Doesn’t come across as a vigorous type. Running, receiving and delivering may be his go.

That’s like saying you hope Sullivan develops Buckley like style.

Seeing if it resolved by itself is malpractice? Jesus, some lawyers are opening up their accounting software.....

Thanks Jen!
And, by the way, who was it who laughed and spat in my face - metaphorically -- when I suggested that he should be tried down back?
Who wants to confess?!

That he does. I was surprised when he plunged off the form cliff last season.
Considering he already played games down back last year it must have been someone who doesn't watch the VFL.

Pre-season training - Friday. Week 1.
Last session of week 1, and it was very solid.
A good selection of the boys out there on a lovely morning to top off the week.
There was transition work as they worked through stoppages and ball movement.
No full ground match sim yet, probably in the following weeks as the whole squad comes back. But there was line groups stuff going on.
Reef trained fully in defence, which we saw parts of on Monday, but every drill, every match ground stuff, all from the backline where he really looked good. The way he used his attacking flair and pace to move, reads the ball well and used the ball nicely to hot targets. He was up against Smit.
Fin was with the forwards, rotating half forward while coming up to stoppage and moving up the ground.Not sure if this is temporary or not. But he was impressive, looked like he is stronger as he was hard to contain to tackle.
Steene was serving as he ruck that went against Cameron, as Smit was pretty much used as a FF.
Ryan did some good 1%'s in the defensive half
While at the start of the session there was lots of running with a number of players, at the end of the session there was more conditioning to be done with a select number of players.
Looked like Frampton, McStay, Reef in one group, DeMattia, Allan, Ryan, TJ and then bunch of others. Reef did very well, he led his group through most of session. Allan and Ryan were the (unsurprisingly) the last men standing

And someone unaware that he played a lot of his junior footy in defence.
It should be unsurprising he looks more natural down back to anyone who is aware of his junior development.
