I still think this lad has a huge future for us. Hoping for a R1 gig as a starting point for Clay

Was tracking well last year before the anke injury, hopefully has an injury free run at it this time

Yep, remember it well - was all the talk before the Yeoy tackle. First year tough off the back of that interrupting his run up and then the WAFL eagles being a shambles. I think he will demand a spot if this pre-season is smooth

Hewett embracing the ballet footwork stance. Looking solid too. Can’t wait to see him in the midfield again!

Gosh, and I suppose folding the club is out of the question as well then. Tonight of all nights
I don't mind the blow up chook tbh, and I think I saw the Eaglettes in a section of the 1994 series? I don't recall them back in the day and was surprised when I saw them.
Won't lie, it'd be nice if big boy Flynn could get back on the park sooner rather than later, like some of the other senior players.
Seeing Bailey in that article really made me remember just how bad our stoppages are again.

The comments all seem to have him doing rehab work
I’ve been to 3 sessions so far
Haven’t seen him do anything much more than walk a couple of laps
No idea what the issue is but doubt he’ll be doing anything substantial pre Christmas. McQualter has said there’s no long term concerns with anyone though so hopefully he’s back in full training after the Christmas break

I know it's early Keys but I can't contain my excitement...
From the 3 sessions you have seen, outside of Ginbeast, which 5 players have surprised you the most with their conditioning/fitness levels? Would love a little blurb on each if you have time.
I am keen to read your comments surrounding Dewar, J.Williams, and Bazzo.
Does it look like Barnett has bulked up at all?

McQualter comes from Melbourne. Hutchings probably has hot spot in his foot which is a nothing injury in Victoria and a season ender at Lathlain.
Hutch showed a fair bit end of the season and the footy gods seems to hate us having nice things lately.

Imagine coming back from Christmas break and reading.... "Callum Jameson has come back in ripping nick and is training the house down"
Has he ever had an injury free pre-season?

Can't wait to see Ginbey & Allan go head to head during training.

Dewar wasn’t at training yesterday but I was impressed with him on Monday - was regularly at the pointy end of the group when they were running
JWill looks to have bulked up a bit and has looked good in all three sessions. Probably the player who’s caught my eye the most
Bazzo, like Dewar, didn’t train yesterday but looks to be in good shape ready for this preseason
Barnett maybe a bit bigger but not substantially so
As for other players, Archer Reid is covering the ground really well and I’ve liked the agility he’s showing for a big bloke
And I always like watching the energy Harvey Johnston brings to training
Expect that training will ramp up next week when the full squad hits the track

Cheers for the update!
Really bullish on J.Williams and HJ! HJ I think could be an inside accumulator he seems very agile and has good hands.
Hoping to see some "break out" seasons from some of the kids.... it's been a while
We just need an infectious culture centred around having career best years by doing all the little things right.

A lot to like about the signs Jwill showed last year for sure. Looks a proper KPF. The only concern is how we fit him in if Jake and Oscar get a good run at it with their bodies.
Bwill might be having some sleepless nights if Flynn is firing as #1 Ruck.

Frothing at McQualter reading this board and playing Maric in the backline as a result. Fingers crossed we use him as an outlet kick and he doesn’t just get stuck in packs getting contested marks taken on him all day

I hope you're right.
I can't say either of our 1st rucks are particularly inspiring options unfortunately :/ Hopefully McQ can fashion a more functional group at their feet.
Chuck in HR and Hall and that would be a fun British Bulldog quartet to watch.
Don't think I would much enjoy being in amongst it though

Just as long as they don't injure each other.Chuck in HR and Hall and that would be a fun British Bulldog quartet to watch.
