Pffft he makes anyone look ordinary partner , no 1 in F50 1/1 for years
You're the one with the story, I am not aware of anything and it's impossible to be across everything that may occur in a session as there is soooo much going on. We've had 4 training reports today and none of us picked up on anything so maybe you can enlighten us with your source and suggested issue?
Great first up effort.
Players would have also appreciated seeing who they were talking to.
Usually its just a voice coming from under the fence
Yep it's not like that he's proven to be able to.tare up the biggest games.
Wow. You really have it in for Dusty.
We get it that you're not a fan, but this is starting to be tiresome.
Does he owe you money or something?
Yeah sorry false alarm. Nothing to see here. All good with Shai.
Thanks all for the reports - put a smile on my dial.
I just have this feeling in my bones that we have something to prove this year - our youth is pushing up and our older stars haven’t spent all their tickets yet and we believe that we weren’t that far away last year.
We are a proud club full of champions and we are going to give this one almighty shake - I am strapped in and can’t wait.

Training Today Saturday:
*Leaving training today i found myself singing 'GOOD VIBRATIONS!'
It was not a match sim game but plenty of match sim drills done at high intensity.
From a purist point of view today was magic and you would have gone away with a better concept of what the boys do at training from week to week and what we are working on. I challenge anyone who was there to say the boys haven't been working as hard this pre-season
Not having match sim allowed us to see the ENORMOUS amout of work , (mainly running), big Tom & Fridge were doing today, they were at it for 120 minutes and also did the 20 minute ball warm up drills and a couple of other small drills as well. Lynch did 10 minutes of contested marking in the square and also one were he was a lead up forward going as far as the wing and doubling back. (I am 90% he plays round 1)
Grimes and Prestia : Thursday I said they did 100% & 80% respectively of low intensity 90 minute session, today i'm saying they did 80% of a 150 minute high intensity session. (Reckon they are 100% good to go baring any setbacks). I think they may sit out the North match sim? but will be participate in the Melbourne game.
Dusty : The whole football world is going to be stunned when they witness Dusty's early impact and be reminded of the star he is. Even in my own mind i were happy to accept a 70% Dusty going forward, that still would have been a big pass mark and massive bonus on last year but I am tending toward a distinction grading by years end. He did a Don't Argue on Tarrant like he was Caleb Daniel today too, he was awesome.
DRioli : Brilliant, can he get even better?, all pre he has been the initiator of runs out of defence and continuing the chain with multiple overlaps forward of centre.
Cotch: Moving the best i have seen for years, I didn't picture him as a forward as such but he was the first to read the drop of the ball multiple times today and looked dangerous, may well feature high on goal assist category this year?
Miller: Looking better every session, confidence if not already sky high is building.
Tylar Young : Keeps impressing me this kid, will be able to come in and do a job if some soldiers go down IMO with scope beyond that when he is further schooled in our game plan and nuances of structure. I really aren't seeing too many weaknesses, massive leap and spoil today, quick closing speed and good kick. I am not saying he starred as defenders rarely do but he has the tools.
Bradtke : Noticeable for the first time for me today, worked well up to the wing and involved in a couple of chains, and one beautiful clean pick up and split second over his shoulder handball onto a running player. Now this was either the work of a player that does have some natural football talent or it was a panicked no look fluke handball that found it's target
Cumberland: Was back training with main group.
Taranto : Just 'The Everywhere Man'
Shai : Took a bit of a holiday today, seems he saves his best for my eyes only
Midfield Depth: Now runs deep and provides so many options and dynamics, going to be exciting to watch. I keep watching Jack Ross and seeing how well he is training, (again I say the hardest worker this pre-season), but asking myself how do you fit him. Ditto Graham, Sonsie when fit.
Rehab/Management : I do think there may be some change how they are operating this year in terms of management? maybe they are putting in some running blocks for players that have had issues in the past? A conclusion only guided by many non inclusions on injury list?
Sonsie: Was running at higher intensity today and did the warm up ball skills but I still have no idea what the go is there.
Broad: Running ok
Baker : We wondered about his absence but appendix removal explains that.
Seth Cambell: Looks close to returning to main group.
Biggest takeway from training today : Amongst all the other drills the players did today they would have done about 50 around the ground stoppage contests from all parts of the ground, except centre clearances of which there was basically none.
Hugo : Did a very uncool sling tackle on MJ, reckon he would of got a week in season proper?
Was very pleased to watch the proceedings with @Billy24 & @The Mole who have provided their own independent observations above.
Cheers
Hail Caesar!!
Sounds like best course of action is to rest Tommy, Grimsey, Broady, and Dion next week and just get them motoring for the following scratch match.
These 4 ready need to be ready go for round 1 are important.
Cheers for the update
Yup, I love seeing the Tiger King animated with the boys and smiling again.
Yep. All I can say to our wonderful club.....
God only knows what I'd be without you.
God only knows what I'd be without you.
I can't say much more than what I have posted all season about Tylar and what I said today sums up what I think of him.
Bradtke way too early for much assessment but today he did some nice things, has got athletism, good on the lead and covered some ground but I wouldn't be getting too excited, he won't be featuring any time soon but showed why we are willing to give him a crack.
