Looking forward to reading your training report.
Not as in depth and footy focused as other regular track watchers, but mine is up now. I'm more into seeing the social side of things - whose friends with who, nicknames, whose looking fit, etc.
If only Hendo was there.
At one point Giles tried a don't argue on Doc in one of the drills with Laidley - didn't work too well though

or dog years?
It's good that this is all a dream come true for HIM.... but he's got a shedload of work, blood, sweat and tears to go through to be worthy of the jumper. Just wanting it isn't enough.

Naturally. We can all enjoy the nice story for what it is in the meantime though no?

Shit.
Vale.
Vale.
Tragic news. Really hope the boys do everything possible to support Sam during this terrible time. Jarrad Waite obviously experienced this at a similar age so maybe he could be one to particularly try and help Sam through it.

Footy just got insignificant. What a shocking thing to happen to the young man, preparing to celebrate a family Xmas no doubt.
That is awful news for Sam and his family.

Lets hope the club can give him everything he needs to get through this.
Agree, and while fully acknowledging the insignificance of the game in all of this it appears his old man was a Carlton fan and at least he got to see him don the jumper if not play a game.
You don't quite know what your Dad means to you til he's gone...

Extremely saddened to hear this news, sincere condolences to Sam and his family. Doc snr used to play with my brother for the Island, I remember he used to back his ute up to the fence and his dog would sit in the back and watch too . Sometimes even running onto the ground. ..geez I loved those days. A top bloke and a good player was loved by all.

Terrible news. Heartfelt sympathy to Doc and the family. Just thinking that his decision to come home may have bought him extra time with his Dad the past couple of months that he may treasure.

Always tough when you lose someone that close at a young age. Condolences to him and the family.

Struggling young man still has the dignity to thank an airline. Seriously impressed.
