hopefully your right, looks a ripper.
Hopefully also forces some others into new positions like maybe A Reid to KDEF and maybe Barnett also down back.
Heard Ginbey is doing 400x10s tomorrow because 10x400s is too easy.

If anyone gets a chance to get down to training today, I'd love to hear how Tyler Brockman is looking?
Given it usually takes a year for a traded player to adjust and make an impact (e.g. Redden and Jetta trades), I'm really hoping that both Brockman and Flynn can have a positive impact this year.
Brockman definitely has some class and we could use that type of high impact player in our B22.
Great to hear Flynn is leading the running for the big guys.

Clearly a focus even in the heat.
From the Eagles IG stories they're making them run their asses off then doing skill drills then running them some more and going back into skills. Good shit.

Long session - not sure what time they started but they were will into their warmup when I arrived at 9.30. Trained through until 11.45
Fair bit of running, some ball movement/skill work and a couple of match sim stints that lasted for about 15 minutes each
Ended the pre-Christmas training block on a high
There was a lot going on at times, especially since they had up to half a dozen Beagles players plus the 4 academy players we’ve had training and Charlie Banfield. A lot of drills were split into smaller groups and spread out around the ground so not always easy to pick out specific players
• Chesser the only player I didn’t see at all and whilst I saw Sheed he didn’t do much whilst I was there
• Jamieson, Hutchinson and Petruccelle did what has become their usual running program away from the main group. Bailey Williams joined them for a bit but spent a little bit more time with the main group
• Cole, Johnston and Davis also spent most of the session running at a good clip. As did Graham and Ginbey
Most of the others trained for a good chunk of the session although the likes of Reid, Yeo, Hough and Allen were rested at times
I’ll do a full preseason wrap later but a few notes from today
• Ryan is becoming more engaged now the competitive work is ramping up
• Yeo increased his training loads but didn’t participate in the match sim
• Reid also upped his load and did some of the match sim. Looks trimmer than he turned up to start preseason
• Gross and Allan were both prominent in the match sim, especially Gross
• Barnett played back and looks to be over his calf issues
• Grego looks and moves like a mini-Yeo
• Bazzo did most of the session including the match sim
• Shanahan has very sticky hands
• Dewar played both match sim periods on a wing and looked good doing so

If Dewar can make a wing his that would be huge. Showed plenty in the last few games
Nah he's too fast and he doesn't call for the ball enough while running onto his opposite foot, he won't make it as our winger.
Hewett train fully on a Wednesday? How did he look in match sim?

As expected, the last session before Christmas was a pretty big one - and longer than advertised on the club’s website which said 9-11am. The players came out at 9:15 and continued until 11:45, when they broke off to sign autographs. A couple hundred people here to watch the boys train - school holidays bringing plenty of people out.
The session consisted of a fairly long warm up, followed by about half an hour of skills work. They then did some ball movement drills, broken up by several 400m runs, where the tallest/slowest players would start first and the quickest would go last, so they all finished roughly at the same time.
At 10:30 they did a 10-minute match simulation type drill, followed by sprints and then set shots. They then broke into some at times bizarre high intensity drills in pairs - one of which involved one player bending over, and the other leapfrog jumping over them and then crawling through their legs, before switching over. They also did some work grappling on the ground.
They then did a ball movement drill with the coaches as the oppo team, followed by more 400m runs, and then a 15-minute match simulation, followed by more run throughs.
To finish, the players and coaches all got in a circle and appeared to nominate Hewett and Hall to get in the middle, who then started full-on wrestling each other. Hewett won, and they had to be ripped away from each other to stop.
Details on who did/didn’t train:
It does seem though that we’re in reasonable shape heading into the break - I’d expect only Edwards, Chesser, Sheed, Jamieson and maybe Petruccelle to be limited post-Christmas in any meaningful way, with the other rehab guys all tracking well towards getting back into full training.

Details on who did/didn’t train:
- There was a huge playing contingent on track today. I spotted every member of the playing squad at some point, + 12-14ish extras. Must have been almost 55 players out there.
- Several members (around 10) of the WAFL Eagles trained with the group - I counted Lucassen, Burke, Henderson, Eastough, McCarthy and Luke Yeo, but there were a few others I didn’t recognise.
- There were 5 youngsters on the track too - Walley, Evans, Banfield and 2 others who I didn’t recognise (but I think have been discussed on this thread recently). One looked indigenous and the other was shorter and had a mullet
- Sandy Brock was out there as he continues his train-on stint
- Of all the listed players I saw Sheed did the least - came out about an hour after they had started and didn’t do anything of note other than watching and chatting to some of the boys.
- Edwards and Chesser did the next-least, walking laps to start and doing a bit of kick-to-kick, before heading inside around 9:30.
- Hutchinson did the warm-up with the main group for about 10 minutes before splitting off and running along the boundary. He then did some kicking work before finishing up around 9:45. I did see someone begin working on the stairs for about 20 mins, shortly after he left - I couldn’t really see who it was but assuming it was Hutch as most other players were on the track at this point.
- Jamieson and Petruccelle worked away from the main group from the start, beginning with running the boundary, before moving onto some kick-to-kick with each other, and then some different run throughs - here Jamo had to hold a long pole behind his head as he ran, while Petch had to run while a trainer held him back with a resistance band. Jamo went inside just after 10, Petch continued a bit longer with some goal-kicking before finishing up around 10:30
- Graham, Ginbey and Bailey Williams did the first 45ish mins with the main group before splitting off and running laps, and then moving onto kicking work. They all moved freely - I assume Graham and Ginbey are still having their loads managed, while Williams is working back from his hammy. All 3 had finished up by 10:30
- Cole, Davis and Johnston (who was still wearing a right arm brace) did the first half hour with the main group before splitting off and completing a lengthy running session. In the middle of that they did some light skill work, where Johnston and Davis heavily favoured their non-injured arms/hands, while Cole looked more confident using both hands. They continued running laps until about 11:20 before finishing up
- Harley Reid came out a little before the rest of the group did and ran some laps before joining the main group for their warm up. From there he completed around 60-70% of the session - was held out of a couple of the drills but generally ran laps by himself when that happened. He finished up around 30 mins before everyone else
- Barnett (calf) did the vast majority of the session, only being held out of the second match simulation and a couple of other drills.
- Long and Yeo were held out of the odd drill but otherwise trained fully
- Bazzo, Hewett, Hough and McGovern did the whole session.
- The draftees didn’t join in with the 400m runs (instead doing their own run throughs) but otherwise completed the rest of the session with the main group.
- Harley ran past where I was sitting and he looks in better shape than when I first saw him about a month ago. Still probably 1-2kg over his ideal playing weight but tracking in the right direction
- Was impressed by the intensity Kelly brought today - didn’t just cruise along like he sometimes can
- Brockman and Gross had some nice moments in the match sim
- Livingstone stayed out to complete extra run throughs after the squad had finished up and were signing autographs
It does seem though that we’re in reasonable shape heading into the break - I’d expect only Edwards, Chesser, Sheed, Jamieson and maybe Petruccelle to be limited post-Christmas in any meaningful way, with the other rehab guys all tracking well towards getting back into full training.

Harley may have an extra reason to be getting fit - I saw him early today getting a coffee and he was accompanied by a very attractive young blonde woman in gym gear who did not look like an AFLW player.
Nothing wrong here. He needs a local Perth girl that is very close to her mum.
I actually thought that girl was from the AFLW ?
Its his sister i think ?
Maybe it was Yasmin Duursma she's a blonde.
all 4 NGA's and Charlie Banfield are at training.
There are all seriously exciting we are going to have to delist a lot of
player this time next year
Jake Caton and Wes Walley are the best of the trainers Wes has grown a little taller so around 183cm
and wants to spend time as a mid next year as well as forward for subi colts
Jake, Wes and Koby all got time as mids today in match sim
Jake Caton is very composed and has wonderful skills runs with a very straight back
didnt looked rushed has real class about him he reminds me a little of Murphy Reid Freo picked up
with his composure and skills
Koby was saying very outside of the pack for most of the session started quietly but got better as the training went on found more confidence
In one the drills got a handball from Hewitt who was on the ground lifted his arms above his head with the footy, stepped
away quickly from the contest and got the handball of nicely to a running teammate while being tackled
Was a impressive play in contest to move the ball out the way he did
Charlie Banfield was playing as a wing outside mid showed good support running but like Koby looked to find his confidence more the session went on
Tyler Williams left foot is deadly, doesn't look like he has a right foot at all so very one sided is quick agile small forward
like a phil matera type
Jobe Shanahan dropped a few marks today took some good ones as well but was moving around a lot better today.
Grego is Shannon Hurns favourite he runs similar to a smaller Yeo is hard composed and fast
Gross had a great training day looked really good a couple of outstanding picks up
Champion didnt notice very much today
Hamish HJ and Cole keep doing punishing 400 whole session was brutal
Jake Waterman had a leg injury early on in a forward drill and was limping slightly afterwards for rest of session
Hewitt beat Hall in some tackling contest at the end that had the players shouting
Allan was good again playing as mid role
Spoke to TK and Yeo and both think Hewitt is the mvp of this training period and both think will play round 1
