It seemed to be slated as a light session compared with the 2 tomorrow and Thursday. Adams will be hoping to complete the main sessions. Moore is going to the Brownlow as well because he is skipper and his ankle was swollen after an incident in the 3rd quarter.Daicos brothers would be getting ready for tonight!

Adams has to almost break it to show he can make it.They were all there.
Its hard to judge anything from today, they were out for 45 mins, a bit of running, some light drills.
I’m prepared to give you a tummy rub if he does.My gut feel is that Adams will play.
“He’s going well … I had a good chat to him (on Monday) about the boxes he needs to tick and what are the things that he needs to do to be available,” McRae told this masthead on Monday.
“He’s going to probably train lightly (on Tuesday) but then on Thursday, have a real crack at it.
“I am definitely a risk-taker … but also, this time of year, you’ve got to weigh up the risk and the reward. I won’t shy away from taking risks.
“If you come and watch training (on Thursday), he’ll either get through training well, or he won’t quite get there, and then obviously we’ll have a decision to make with that.
“I had a good chat to him today. He’s either going to be right or not. And if he’s right, then we’ve got a decision to make.”

“It’ll come down to the medicos and Tay and how he goes, but he’s got a lot of time left to get himself right and recover. Three or four days is a long time, so see how he goes.
“He’ll know. That’s why I think it’s a bit of an easier call. Because you trust him. He’ll make the right decision, and he’ll make the best decision for the group.”

Pendlebury said the team had “great depth” and that the club had been “really smart in going out and recruiting guys like that to build the depth”.
“Tay will make the right call for the group and I feel like we’ve got options to cover either way it goes,” he said.
Tay did a session yesterday. Probably worked in the gyn today.Daicos brothers would be getting ready for tonight! Moore and Howe probably rested, and Adams is a bit of a head scratcher...
