There are no stupid ideas, just stupid people
Steve Hocking was seen at the stop valve outside Punt Rd the day he came to witness our pre-season training pre-Covid.
That the session where he saw Cotchin manning the mark & came up with the "stand" rule?
I think that happened in Queensland in the hub, but if there was a way to do both at the same time, I'd bank on it.
Apparently they heard Caesar is still on holidays and have decided to postpone the starting date to coincide with his return
No training this morning at least. They were spraying fertilizer onto the ground. Did see Hopper enter the gym with his BC. Also virtually no cars in the carpark.
Dee's, Storm and Victory all out and about as well as some NFL punter wannabee's. Didn't check the Pies as the BC was getting too hot.

I heard St Kilda squad was starting back today but as HK Tiger mentioned no sign of Tiger boys when I walked past today also.
Did she mention the chop sticks episode or the time he missed training because he took sleeping tablets in her report?
Surely Banks must be more than 71 kgs currently,I really hate the non up dating of afl players measurements.So what am I hoping to see in the lead-up 2023:
Judson Clarke : Has the speed and endurance and footskills so hitting the weights for strength and putting on some size the priority.
Listed as 180cm and 72kg, they see him in a Lambert type role who was 178cm and 77kg which is still pretty light but
shows you don't need to be huge to be a gun player. (oh and we just happen to have Lambert stay on as dedicated
Juddy development coach)
Josh Gibcus : Has speed and endurance not 100% sold on his kicking yet but seems more than adequate so like above weights and size the go. Listed as 196cm and 87kg, end target in couple of years you'd think to play at about 94kg?
Coaches instructions should be to back in your marking ability and better directional spoiling.
Samson Ryan : Should have Olivia Newton John's 'Let's Get Physical' on loop. Size pretty good 206cm and 104kg, (but include a few more weights for strength). As an example Soldo who is a beast plays at 107kg. Endurance, endurance, endurance should also be his mantra in the off-season. Improve both those and he will be holding his ground and taking a lot more marks.
MJ : Pretty simple really run, run, run as fast and far as you can, (more endurance please). Coaches instruction, hunt the ball!.
Question: Is there no leg weights program or kicking mechanics change that can improve a players distance in kicking?, Junior struggles to kick 40 metres.
Cumberland : What i want is what i think we will get, (better endurance), already putting in the work, size, speed, grunt, all good.
Sam Banks : 187cm and 71kg, so add some size and become a bit more contested, fitness levels are good.
Tom Brown : A few more angry pills to increase intensity and a bit more contested, has all the skills.
Sonsie : Injury free run at pre-season, plenty of running that he missed out on getting under his belt last year.
Balta : Has habit of coming back under-done, last year looked to be the same but Noah said that he had lifted too many weights and came back heavy. Definitely needs to put in plenty of running, 194cm and 102kg is too heavy.
Dusty : Nothing more than to come back happy in himself and back in love with the game. Oh and I am sure he is a proud man
and wouldn't have wanted his career to end with a downer like last year so maybe he does still have something to prove.
All pretty obvious observations but I had nothing better to do than express my thoughts until the 21st of November comes around.
Feel free list your own what you'd like to see in pre-season.
Surely this is breaking news for the paparazzi Hun tabloid.....
I can see the headlines....
Tiger superstar shunned by teammates, Dusty trains alone
Or alternatively:
Forlorn Dusty shuns teammates, trains alone still wishing he was traded to Sydney. Retirement before season start still an option.
Haha. Tiger superstar reflects solemnly on his failed friendship with ex tiger star Connors whilst running alone.
Hun exclusive!
