Who cares about any of that - what we all want to know is who's come back really overweight or with shit tattoos.

They’re both ground breaking areas to focus on.
Who would’ve thought.
Who knows, at this rate we might go right out on a limb and focus on performance and rehabilitation.
Hopefully the other Clubs don’t catch on.

Great to hear Lemmon. They are areas we need focus on.

Once he builds his tank and improves his kicking a bit he will be quite a player for us.
Both he and Richards have the ability to become great players

Re: Preseason Training - 2019
Old hands have pups pumped
The early return to pre-season training of Liam Picken and Tom Liberatore has the Western Bulldogs' crop of exciting young talent inspired, key defender Aaron Naughton says.
The crucial playmaking pair has been notable on the track this week, returning with the first-to-fourth-year players despite not being required on duty until November 19.
Picken failed to play a senior game this season after suffering a heavy concussion in the JLT Community Series in March, while Liberatore ruptured his ACL for the second time in round one of the season proper.
Speaking after training on Friday, Naughton said he and his fellow youngsters were buoyed by having such respected teammates on the track so early into their 2019 preparations.
"Picko and Libba are good characters and bring a lot of energy to the group, so it's really good to have some leadership around us young boys," Naughton told AFL.com.au.
"They seem like quiet blokes, but in the inner sanctum they're quite vocal.
"They both pretty much missed the whole of last season, so to have them back for week one of training is very exciting for us.
"They're both really good players and been around the club for so long. Hopefully I get the opportunity to play alongside them more often, because they bring so much to the team."
Picken, who did some training throughout the year during his recovery from his head knock, looked sharp on the track, while Liberatore showed no signs of his injury as he completed a series of ball and goal-kicking drills.
Fifth-year players Toby McLean, Zaine Cordy, Caleb Daniel and Roarke Smith were not required back at the Club until later in the month, but have also been training strongly.

Yup but it's bad grammar, not bad spelling Easty.

Is it just me or is Lewy Young's frame starting to resemble that of an actual key position player?

I tell you what, he looks like he might have grown a bit taller too. Could he be the dark horse for a back up ruckman?

I think he is close to it. He still looks a bit lean but given his speed and athleticism should be his strengths he probably should stay on the leaner side. We've got some good sized younger key position players coming through with Boyd, English, Naughton, Schache and Lewis.

And Cordy! That's a yellow card if I was the actual host and/or moderator.
If these guys reach their potential together, it will be a terrific spine. I had to actually do a double take to realise it was Young, it looks like something close to the body shape he needs to play at to keep that good closing speed of his as you say. Naughton looks like he can take two gorilla forwards at a time from his photos this week. Young also looks to have had plastic surgery to look like Tony Martin impersonating Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Re: Preseason Training - 2019
He just misses my height requirements for "good sized key position players" Has to be 194cm or above ;)

I've tried but Gary has made it almost impossible to give him a yellow card-and he's earned it with his criticism of (the great) Zaine.;) We don't have a red/yellow card system for a start. That makes it really difficult.

Is he not? Club site has him at 196 though I know they aren't always accurate.

Bornadog is actually Naughton, so he just takes selfies from his iPhone.
