I got tired just looking at them train. This is all going to pay off big time in the real season. Well done boys for putting in the hard yards.

Jake Melksham. Leader written all over him. That's who we got for Lovett. Our trading from about 05 -06 onwards will be held as up there with the best ever.

Hocking looks set for a career in wrestling. Look at the traps. Goldberg eat your heart out.

Had a good chuckle over the Champion Data 2012 AFL Prospectus... According to their stats/criteria, Bacher Houli is elite. Michael Hurley is not. Although fairly useless as it is, if one list should go up on the wall of the Windy Hill locker rooms is that report. Mark Twain wrote, "There are three kinds of lies. Lie, damned lies, and statistics". Guess they didn't get the Prospectus in Hannibal...

Looks like hard work! :) In this instance, I don't mind being on the outer! This is one inner sanctum experience I can do without ;) Angie

Hope you and yours are out of the path of nature's latest fury, Mark McL.

Good to see the lads putting in the work, but will be more excited to see footage of them nailing 30, 40, 50m bullet passes at each other, or some tightly contested in and under drills when they get back! Go DONS!

The bodies are becoming more "Geelong" like already but we now need to see the skill levels taken to a "Geelong" standard. I have faith in Hird, the coaches and the list to achieve this. We were better last year, but could still be pushed out of contests and miss targets. Fix these, and a tighter defence and...WOW!

Great to see the boys baulking up, they certainly need to, but do not lose your speed, guys. Go bomber Machine, Merry Christmas to all.
