Maybe his looking in the wrong places, I heard today that Trent west's nickname is 'Big sexy' too.
Kindering spirits perhaps?

Just gotta watch those princesses that turn out to be princes. : )
Dropped in to watch a bit of training this morning, crap weather, so skills were way down but intensity was high during match simulation. Impressed by assistant coaches Rawlings & Brown with what they instructing players to do. Key point from them was be physical... Gawn was a standout, Bate hurt his lower back or hammy during warmup, many players were in rehab group or not on the track... More laps for Jurrah, Sylvia, Strauss, Bail... Not many watching training but I did spot Jason McCartney ( bulldogs ) spying from the far side of the ground... Had to leave early, can anyone else report what happened after 10.30?

Why is Sylvia running laps? If he is injured why was he selected for ir?
I don't know but it's possible he hurt it sometime between selection and the last few weeks.

I take you were listening to SEN at about 8.30 this morning as well.
Only problem with the theory is that Trent West seemed like a decent modest sort of guy

I thought I'd read somewhere he'd tweaked his calf, but not entirely sure.

It seems that the rehab group is growing by the minute, is this a reflection of the attitudes within the group?

The rehab group has barely extended.
Petterd and Bail are the only additions IIRC.
Sylvia, Jetta and Lawrence have progressed into the rehab group from doing solo fitness inside AAMI.

Maybe true PM, but Jamar, Jetta, Tappy, Trengove, Cook & I'm sure I missed some were not sighted at all...

Cook and Tappy have barely hit the track as part of a main group or the rehab group for the duration of the pre-season.
Jamar and Trengove didn't complete all of the main groups session; yes.
But that would be a standard part of managing players I would think, nothing sinister in that.
And Jetta was training hard in the rehab group on Monday.

Totally agree, that is what I was told is happening with Rivers, Blease & McKenzie today...
There was one bloke today who trained really well, tall, blonde, solid build, I have no idea who he was...
One funny highlight today was in the match simulation, I assume due to lacking numbers to field two teams, there was a bloke who was playing in the backline (I assume it was Chris Connolly), he had the ball on a string, some people never lose it...

Fletcher Roberts? or Taggert perhaps?
I think Jamar said Wednesday may be used to rest the load of some of the big guys in his interview a couple of weeks ago?
Doesnt explain Gawn being involved though?

That's the mystery Roberts/Taggert who I couldn't quite make out.
If it's Roberts then we should rookie the shit out of him.

I'm often critical of Burgan, but that was the perfect interview. Just the right amount of information drawn out of Misson.
