Love how he gives Goldi one just to get him up and about.
He knows Todd plays best when angry

As a Tasmanian I nearly took offense to this post.....McGuinness looks legitimately 3+ years away from having an AFL body. Pretty tough considering he's 20 next year. Tassie really hasn't had a strong player development culture for the last decade or so though. So hopefully it's a case of him being underappreciated and neglected as a footy talent with regards to making sure his diet is right and he isn't buggered from a genetic position to put on size.
Going to be really important he doesn't get any injuries in his first year with us. Can't afford to have any time outside of the gym or track.
Turner and Dumont were in everything. Really buzzing around.Atley & Cunners look to have beefed up in the shoulders/upper arms.
Jed was good. Got plenty of ball.
KT was sharp up forward.
Mason training with the defenders. Looks comfortable.
Tommy Campbell has a serious one wood. He could still turn out to play a lot of AFL footy.
Young Perez doing rehab & still building his fitness base. Will take a while.
Hall looking in good shape. Still rehabbing.
All in all, very sharp and intense with full player commitment. Excellent to see at this time of year.
I did, a lot of full ground drills.
What's noticable is the amount of height we now have on the list with the addition of Comben and Walker. Also there seems to be more intensity in the drills than previous years. Shaw was dirty on a few skill errors as were other players.
Cunners looks to have dropped a few Kg's.
Mason Wood's ball use coming off half back and through the middle really stood out.
Hall just running laps
Jacobs just watching on.
For all the naysayers and pumper-uppers on either side of the LDU fence, I’m convinced this is his basic issue. Scamper’s job with him isn’t so much on skills or fitness or game plan, but believing in himself.I'd really love to see LDU tear shit up at training. He's all class, but seems to defer to senior players a bit.
Physically yes.
Turner and Dumont were in everything. Really buzzing around.
What caught my attention was, what seemed to me anyway, the intent on kicking the goal during a drill. Goal kicking had always seemed haphazard at training.

People forget he's only 20. Not everyone matures at the same time and a male brain doesn't fully mature until 25. He'll come good, with the guidance from Scamper you suggest.For all the naysayers and pumper-uppers on either side of the LDU fence, I’m convinced this is his basic issue.

.................oh..........................and Tarryn Thomas is going to be an absolute freak.
Did one or two things in the training drills that made my jaw drop.
How anyone can collect the ball at ground level then instantly kick a screw goal from 40 meters out & 5 meters inside the boundary, with their torso still in the horizontal position, has got me completely and utterly ****ed!!!!
Human biomechanics would suggest that it's impossible.................but he did it.

How good do you reckon TT can become, Snake? Do you think he can equal/outdo Harvey, Grant & Wells, ultimately?

Too early to tell, but on raw talent there's no limit.
Out of interest I checked his first year stats. Both TT & DW had almost identical first seasons. Both averaged exactly 12 disposals. TT hit the scoreboard more and played two extra games. Daniel was nine months younger. Not sure whether it’s a fair comparison. However, Wells is the only other player I can think of who possessed similar silky skills.

Tarryn is going to end a very different player to Wells.
Bontempelli/Martin type.
It’ll all come together for him when he can start to push off players.People forget he's only 20. Not everyone matures at the same time and a male brain doesn't fully mature until 25. He'll come good, with the guidance from Scamper you suggest.

I think he'll be better than Wells. Different type of player.
The only thing I see linking him to Wells is that he may not always be the highest possession winner (which may change in the near future anyway).Okay, IMO, if Tarryn reaches his full potential, then I don't see him being a Greig, Abraham, Wells silky type of player.
He'll be highly efficient & effective, but not particularly graceful. At the very upper level, think Malcolm Blight or Wayne Carey.
I honestly believe he has the platform to be the best North player since Carey. Getting there is another thing.
The only thing I see linking him to Wells is that he may not always be the highest possession winner (which may change in the near future anyway).
The rest, I see an alternative version of Shaun Burgyone.
I agree with the Burgoyne comparison, the port version anyway.The only thing I see linking him to Wells is that he may not always be the highest possession winner (which may change in the near future anyway).
