So you don’t trust the whole nation of italy?

You mean the country that didn't have tomatos for their pizza until it got imported.
Unless you like seafood on white sauce Italy is not the pizza Mecca you think it is.

So Harley didn't feel bad.

Can’t wait for Dewar to win Norwich Rising Star

Are You Inexperienced was their finest I believe.

An early release by Virgin Records IIRC

The worst thing about West Aussies is their love for colgate flavoured milkshake and milk.


However, for some reason mint choc chip ice cream ain’t half bad

I've lived in Brussels for the past few decades, city of the best chocolates, desserts etc in the world. I've feasted in many places across our home planet. Still haven't had anything that beats a spearmint milkshake. Happy Mrs Jersey organic pistachio icecream from Holland comes close, as does a good speculoos, but even they don't beat it.

anyone pretending they don't like spearmint milk just wish to be perceived as cultured

Yes, I prefer spearmint yoghurt. I am that cultured.

Caught some of the session today but by the time I arrived at 9.30 they had completed their warmups and were already into a ball movement drill. As was the case prior to Christmas there was a heavy focus on ball movement but they did break into a full ground match sim for about 15-20 minutes late in the session

Interspersed with the ball drills was a couple of 400m runs and a shuttle run in pairs to finish where the players ran from one side of the centre square and back, then tag with their partner who then did the same. Each player did about of 5 reps each

They finished about 11.15 so I’m guessing at a 2 hour plus session overall

According to the club all but Bazzo (foot) and Yeo (eye) trained - I didn’t spot Edwards, Chesser, Sheed or Petruccelle at any stage but some players were on the outer oval well away where I was watching from

A lot of the drills were also at the southern end of the ground some distance from my position so it was difficult to make out who was who. The match sim I had trouble making out match ups at that end - so didn’t pick up that Shanahan was playing as a defender

Random player notes
• Baker brings a lot of intensity to training which showed up in the match sim
• Hunt looked to be more half back than wing in the match sim which is a departure from pre Christmas
• Ginbey was prominent and laid one really strong tackle
• Hewett continues to impress
• Reid settled into match sim nicely alleviating some concerns over his fitness
• Duggan was playing as a mid prior to his corkie and was finding the ball regularly
• Cripps and Owies were both busy as half forwards
• Hough sat out the match sim I think but after reports of him having work done on his groin last week he was moving fine today
• Gov was very good
• Archer Reid is going to be hard to keep out of the side. Was impressed with him again
• They seem keen to get the ball into Maric’s hands off half back
• Flynn moves a bit like Gun-Jack from Tekken but pushed forward in match sim to good effect. No ruck contests in match sim and Bailey Williams wasn’t playing either
• Cole was good and no longer has his thumb in a cast
• Hall looks keen to press for a game and is playing with good aggression
• Davis had some good moments in the wing
• Dewar was also good in the opposite wing including a good run down one side before delivering the ball inside 50
• Hutchinson did the full session as far as I could tell which is a good sign after he was in reduced loads pre Christmas

There were no NGA or WAFL squad players today

Did not see you having a tekken reference

Anyone heading down to training today?

Spearmint milk is bloody disgusting, uppercuts all round.
