How about a report on training Scraggers in a separate thread.
I will try my best bornadog ...
I took the whole family down to Subiaco on Friday arvo to see the boys in action, and to put it simply, I was impressed.
This is the second time I have been to training in the last year ... first time was last year in Melbourne, the week we played North, and the boys seemed flat. It was also the time I met First Dog On The Moon ... and yes, I am still receiving help :p If memory serves me correct we won that game by 30-odd points.
This week they were full of voice and vigour ... their hands were sharp and by foot very accurate. Stand outs for me were Gilbee, Griffen, and Gia (three Gs ... definitely hitting the G-spot).

My two year old took this photo ... not bad eh??
I didn't see any of the emergencies at training ... that's not to say they weren't there (Everitt definitely was not there) I just didn't see Moles or Reid.
It was great to see Johnno there, you could tell the players were lifted by his involvement.
Towards the end of training the majority of players came down to the Subiaco end of the ground to take potshots from the 'Bermuda Triangle' pocket (right pocket - three tier grandstand). Most impressed with Barry who was slotting them from everywhere ... not an easy task from this corner of the ground.

What was also very impressive was the crowd turn out ... there was at least 100 Bulldog supporters there, and the players were very generous with their time signing autographs and posing for photos.
