That's correct as per the original Facebook post from the club.
Looks like all the rain washed JJ's hair dye out.
Re: Preseason Training - 2019

Yeah good size about Vandermeer for an 18 year old kid.

Yep, a good size and looks to attack it well from that photo. He turns 20 in just over two months, so if the skill is right, he might have the body to play sooner rather than later.

Wood is an athletic freak though, state level high jumper at 185cm. On top of incredible work ethic he's been blessed with freakishly good genetics.

I recall Rocket Eade once saying that Wood had the biggest thighs he had ever seen on any individual.
Re: Preseason Training - 2019
Just some quick observations from the trek to WO this morning for Family Fun Day to watch the men's training only:
Players trained on the ground for about an hour
Not involved in any training: Dale, Libba, Suckling, B Smith
Running laps only: Bonti, Duyrea, Webb, Naughton
Didn't see Tom Boyd and don't think I noticed Cordy (could be wrong on this latter player however...)
Rest of players out on track including Picken and Gowers.
Last drill had players running and then being asked to shoot on goal before repeating the process four times - i guess it was about goal kicking under fatigue. It was interesting how they had the running groups set up...might have been an indication on who still needs to build their running capacity/tank. Buku clearly has no tank as he really seemed to struggle keeping up with his group in this drill.
Got to see kicking actions of Lloyd, West, Cavarra, Vandermeer and Young - they seemed ok in the drills, but there was no real pressure being applied.
Anyone else see something of note?
Re: Preseason Training - 2019
Thanks Smads57. Yeah I wish I could add something but came after the training session when they were doing the speeches.

I loved in the GF when Wood used those thighs to great effect firstly with his solid bump on Kieran Jack to set the scene for the day, and then secondly when he took out Hannerbury. He was like smashing into a tree stump.
He's looking in great nick so hopefully we see the return of 2015-16 Easton Wood in 2019.
