Thanks for the updates.How's young Dow looking and other draftees.Garthwaite looks like he has put size on.
Hugo RalphSmith has been the most eye catching of the new boys, both athletically, marking and footskills.
Martyn has a good engine, (could be a bit one paced?), looks like a footballer though and decent sized body shape, especially the thighs.
Dow is very light neat with his skills, picks up game plan well. Not super quick, (he ran 3.06 sec at combine), but certainly acceptable. By all accounts agility is meant to be elite but hasn't jumped out at me yet.
Cumberland: Has been managed a fair bit so haven't really got a read.
Biggie: His field kicking has been poor to date but early doors.
Will get a better idea when they have a full on match simulation session, (verging on practice match), which they are yet to do.
PS. Am not expecting anything from our picks this year but looking forward to their development as always.
Well from 1994-2007 i ran 3 newsagents in the cbd and the players that i sold smokes to would top 100
Our own Mathew Richardson was a smoker - B & H
S Kernahan - Dunny blues
Ox - Winnie reds
but the strangest was plugger lockett (st Kilda days) Alpine - He smoked bloody menthol smokes

Highly contested session today, a nasty head clash between Broady and Cumberland ended their session early. Not there today Dusty Nank and Prestia only did warm up. Sharpest and cleanest session so far.
Will reserve my judgement after my saying Dow is not necessarily quick? at the end of the session he was in a small group including Grimes and Rioli doing 50 metre sprints and headed them but I am betting the wiley pros may not have been going 100%?. Regardless got a glimpse of the Edwards comparison with Dow in one bit of play today.
Spoke briefly to Fly today and I said I have been impressed with RCD & Stack pre-season so far it appears they have improved their running, he said yes and he was VERY QUICK to add Jack Ross and Kamdyn to the mix saying those that were close and missed out have come back very hungry
On Kamdyn, he seems to have slimmed down a bit too.

There are no stupid ideas, just stupid people
Seemed like Broady copped the back of Cumberland's head in his face, a broken nose wouldn't surprise me, both boys stayed down for about a minute don't think they were concussed?
Not a bad idea to keep Dusty and Nank away from the highly contested sessions!!
Kamdyn also seems to have developed some action on his head....Yeah yeah!!
Perhaps Broady likes a bit of sausage in his face...?
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
I love this little tale turk.
The mental picture of Plugger suckin' on an Alpine makes me LOL.
I had an old uncle smoked Alpines. Might have been a weird ballarat thing?
A few of carltons bigger names in those days smoked a little wacky backy too, even before big games, allegedly
