Heatley had one of the best kicking actions I’ve seen.
Having said that he’d struggle big time in today’s footy, as he was weak overhead, lacked second efforts and was reliant on leading into space…not much of that space available these days.

Yes…9.45 at RSEA park

This coming week, training Monday, Wednesday and Friday…starts at 9.45am

Extraordinary effort from Garcia considering he wasn't on the track before Christmas. Another player with genuine speed and high endurance. There's a lot to like at the moment. Steele is another one to be happy about. This time last year he was being nursed through an ankle/archilles issue and went...

He was in full training today..fear not!

Jones on a modified program…understandably!

Slight change to training tomorrow morning…time trial at Rowans Rd. @ 9.30am, then players head to RSEA park for normal training

Why?

We are actually lighter on up forward

Howard
Wilkie
Battle
Cordy
Van Es
Schoenmaker

Why…we don’t have a TALL defender of any real quality!

I like Higgins as a player but his work rate when he hasn’t got the footy isn’t great..improvement in that space plus better conversion rate would be significant!

Doubt it, Misson was never at either club Dalrymple has been at.

I wonder who Dalrymple will bring in to replace Roughead? Hopefully he has someone in mind... Just listened to the Podcast, you wouldn't say he was a great media performer. Very dour monotone style, doesn't sound like the sharpest tool in the shed, so hopefully he is a better recruiter than radio p...

Thanks for putting up the podcast…seems very level headed and knows what’s required with trading and drafting!

Great get…justifies the Toce dumping!

Hill looks like he could play for another 3 years, if anything he’s improved under the boss and really enjoying his footy. Jones durability this coming season will determine whether he gets a contract end of 2024. Gotta feeling we might have a crack at Ned Moyle..if that’s the case Cambell will be i...

Mattaes isn’t going anywhere…signing end of next season, which is smart, Nas similar & dare say got a nice juicy contract after his fine body of work this season.

It’s very difficult to pick a Sandy team, as there’s often a few players picked as emergencies for the senior side that don’t play at all.
There’ll be sever Sandy listed players that play regularly also!

So what is the status ofJack Hayes now? Still on the list? According to Tony74 yesterday, Hayes is injured, again. If this is true then put a line through him. Put him on the LTI list and grab a smokey in the mid season draft if there is one. There is no room for sentiment. Good plan. Now that all ...

We’re pretty light on for tall defenders so we don’t need to get rid of anyone.
It’s an area we’ve lost numerous players through retirement and some not being up to it in recent years.
Would be a bonus if Caminiti makes a decent fist of it as a defender!

Totally agree on the Windhager run with role, it’s where he’s played his best games.
We’re well served in the half back department with Nas, Sinclair and Bonner all likely to feature on a regular basis!

Monday is the final training session for the year…players are back Monday January 8.
