Training Pre-Season 2024

[bigman]

I would think the year 1-4 players may return for training soon- possibly even as early as next Monday. Does anyone have any information here?

Coaching panel announcement you would think would be imminent then.

Interesting to see who is training with us in pre-season period

Murray - and apparently an Irishman on trial is the rumour at this stage

 

[Cap]

Heard the Irish player on the radio today, missed who it was.

Big PS for that 3/4th group.

Monaghan’s Karl Gallagher is the latest player to be linked to an AFL club, with Adelaide Crows expected to welcome him for a three-week trial later this month.

Good to see Zac Taylor has learnt from last pre-season not to drive back to Adelaide overnight and go straight to the 1st pre-season training morning...

View attachment 1850575

Hopefully he gets a good crack at it this year. He's the player I was most pumped for in that draft (yes over Rachele and Soligo...)

 

[grundog49]

Looks to have put on some real size on his upper body in that pic too.
Big year for Zac with him being the one without a longer term contract. 2025 according to footywire.

I just remember thinking at the time he was pound for pound the most skilled player by hand and foot on both sides. Hopefully that extra size will allow him to use that more and get a crack in at AFL level.

I hope he does better than collapsing at the 2km run this year. That might define his mindset.

Are our juniors back today?

Or did our SANFL finals run push everyone back to Monday 20 Nov?

A bit of a backhander to Cook there

Dragon running laps about all today but lots of cars in the car park. Gym session likely and maybe some admin and footy information

As in Cook not being one of the two 'impressive recruits'? I was wondering if the different shirt he was holding meant he didn't even make the Bali Gecko's first grade...
