I think premiers starting slow could have a lot to do with going so deep into September & basically a month worth of training behind at least 10 sides the comp.

Training today:
They didn't split into possibles and probables today so no real indication of which way the match committee will go, the important thing that all were present and accounted for so all options should be available.
**A scratch match will be held at PRO 11am Saturday.

What did today's session entail, mate? Did they go hard in terms of running, or no?
Dimma said in his presser there would be 3 or 4 changes and wants to reward those playing well at the lower level.
Obviously Dusty and Baker come in.
After that I have:
1) Dow has been outstanding in two scratch matches in a row.
2) Kmac more a case of maybe the need for someone that runs both ways.
3) Line ball between RIley and Noah, both have had one really good Scratch Match, I think the match committee would want to see another similar performance from Riley in Saturday's scratch match for him to be right in the frame for subsequent weeks?
Sorry as i know it's probably been mentioned somewhere already. But was it a normal training session or are they now split up into separate groups due to what happened with Mckenna ?
Haven't seen much of Dow but can he play that small forward role for us? Would seem a logical place for a 1st year player to come in and run through stints at times on ball. With Baker and potentially Dow coming in, if I was Rioli I would be very nervous after the last couple of weeks.
Below are the rules for at least the next 4 weeks:
THE AFL has moved to ban contact training at full group sessions for at least the next four weeks as the fallout to Conor McKenna's positive COVID-19 test continues.
It means full-scale match simulations at training will cease, however tacking will still be permitted in sessions with groups of up to nine players.
Clubs will be allowed to train with their full group once a week but only on no-contact skills, ball movement and tactic drills.
They covered most bases except contact work of course although they split up in their group of nines for the intight handball drills. There were forward entry drills and some full ground movement drills.
Re: hard running Broady wins this hands down. The little things to look for are once the whistle blows ending a drill is to watch which players are willing to exhaust themselves by sprinting to the huddle and those that just dawdle, it shows intent and is hardly a surprise who does and who doesn't.
You would want to make use of Dow's run if selected so not sure starvation corner would be his ideal first outing.
If we were to debut 2, who is most likely?
Dow plus 1 other. RCD? Turner? Ralph-Smith?
If Dow is in it'd be more Pickett than Rioli as you gotta play guys on the position they play best.
