Training for DRAFT PICKS!!!!

Spent ~1 hour with @Ceaser this morning watching through the fence.

Skills were on display as it was mostly non-contact. Dimma picking up the cones and hands-on with an individual group is a sign of the times.

Had a close-up to Soldo, Bachar and Cumberland who are in rehab and were in front of us. Soldo possibly the biggest man I have ever seen. Got a friendly hello and he said his knee is doing well. Cumberland is a nice size. Bachar is a phenomenal athlete and similar muscle tone to Ceaser....

My takeaways:
- Biggie is a fine specimen. Great trunk.
- Chol could easily be interpreted as the best player out there. In fine condition.
- Balta has an incredible presence about him. Booming voice. AA-lock.
- Grimes still looks like a skinny rookie pick.
- Had to confirm with Ceaser who was Will Martyn, as his body shape has changed dramatically.
- Titch was in the group in front of us. He just has that ability to do what no one else can do in tight situations.
- Miller has lost his awkward-gait. Looking forward to seeing how he develops this year.
- CCJ looked good and in one contest out marked Lynch very convincingly
- Good to see Junior out there. Not over-awed but a few years away.
- No Pickett. Hopefully he is not stuck over in WA.
- Baker his usual self. No sun-glasses or evidence of red-eyes...
Good work lads ,still any word on Nigel
 
I'd love to have seen CJ outmark Tommy. Tommy would probably fire up. He hates being beaten. Funny.

Just went past Punt Road oval (7 pm Tuesday) and there was a group of 30 odd yellow/black kitted out players doing stretching. They looked like a youth squad? @caesar hope they're not trying to evade your attention?

You sure it wasn't the AFLW training

On Nic and Andys podcast (thanks guys I love it) they mentioned that Marlion was back at training yesterday. Anything to add to that training watchers?

I don't got to training on Tuesday's as they don't usually do much and often indoors, I will be there tomorrow and advise.

Can’t you discreetly drill a hole in the wall and report on the indoor sessions as well? Hope to hear that there’s a Marlion appearance at the next one you can watch.
