Nascent

Should be incorporated into our resilience training.

Probably a bit premature with a couple practice games still to come but I'll have a crack. FB: Bowey May Petty HB: Salem Lever Windsor C: Langdon Viney Billings HF: Chandler Turner Sparrow FF: Fritsch JvR Petracca R: Gawn Oliver Rivers I: Howes Langford Johnson Sharp Sub: Laurie E: Jefferson AMW Woewodin Next in line: T-mac, Hore, Lindsay, Brown, Henderson, Campbell, Adams, Fullarton, Sestan, Verrall, Mentha Sus: Pickett Injured/underdone: Tholstrup, McVee, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo, Kentfield Hoping Windsor gets up with his foot infection, has otherwise done the bulk of pre-season and should be good to go when healed. Wanted to squeeze T-mac but couldn't find a spot for him. Pickett, McVee, Tholstrup come into the 22 when able, Lindsay debut on the cards later in the year after a delayed start to pre-season. Opted for Johnson over Jefferson largely to help ruck relieve and take the burden off JvR. Hoping Jefferson can crack the team early. Henderson may surprise and take that pressure half forward/small fwd role to aid i50 pressure/retention.

I'm guessing he's still in WA and may not have formally put pen to paper just yet. I suspect we'll see an article in the coming days after he's come back to Melbourne and done the admin stuff at dees headquarters. Get him kitted out in a dees polo, 2min interview for socials etc...

If kozzie does go, I wonder if Murphy Reid could be part of the equation. Didn't look too thrilled to be selected by freo on draft night. Smooth moving midfielder who was metros MVP.

If you don't write a 10 page report with individual dossiers of players performance, highlights of the day, goodys gameplan and an up-to-date injury list... did you even really go to training?

Time to target one of their stars

This mystery F/S or academy player has me intrigued. First thought was perhaps Kynans younger brother Ryder might be getting a tour. Wouldn't have thought there would be need for secrecy though.

Sauce?

If Kozzie were to go I would love either Hayden Young or Caleb Serong if at all possible. Failing that, perhaps Murphy Reid with picks could be an alternative. We're lucky we have him contracted until 2027 to give us leverage. Hopefully he just stays with us.

Been away for a bit, is there training at Gosch’s tomorrow? I might have a look if there is.

I always liked "Nope Ropes"

I was given advice to write letters to my enemies and then burn them. Wasn't sure what to do with the letters after that though.
