WOW, just realized it is a month since I've been here but decided to get along for Dave's last training session, (constantly moving of course as it was my Covid exercise ;) ).

Another reason for going was to see if Marlion was there and how he was travelling, he was there and looked a class above many, a mystery to me why he has not been getting a game, (yes i know his disposal can be ordinary but we have missed many of his other attributes).

A month ago Balta and Soldo were not even on the track, Noah did quite a lot with the main group and Soldo did 40 minutes with the main group kicking, marking, sprinting. Hopefully they go into pre-season in good shape.

Dave was training fully so should be no chance of missing final game.

That's it, just wanted to sign off for the season
Thanks caesar
I've thoroughly enjoyed reading your reports and hope you,re back out there next year

Biggie without much confidence, probably just because of his athleticism, although Miller not too bad on that front either.
I'd get rid of Garth even though at a pinch he can do a role but we can all see he is very limited, takes way too long to ball to boot.
Very surprised they didn't give Miller a go but if they haven't after 3 years what does that say?
Miller very stiff. On the list for 4 years and with the last two destroyed by Covid he hasn't been given a game. Thought this might be his chance but with Dave returning for his last game it seems likely that Miller will miss again.
I am not aware of any player who has such a history, and then been delisted without a game. As others have pointed out, despite the difficulty, his own game has certainly progressed. Pretty confident he will get another year.

I drove past Punt Rd this morning and thought I saw one of Bachar’s relatives wearing a burka watching on.
Didn’t realise it was just you with a standard sized face mask on.

Appreciate everything you’ve written this year mate. Felt closer to the action through you.

Have loved your work this year Kniferack.

Time to put the cherry picker back into the shed and service it ready for next year's pre-season.
