What group are Williams and Richards training with?
Re: Preseason Training - 2019
Big year for Jongy, the midfield has more depth with spots at a premium. It's his first full preseason after a knee I'd love for him to become a best 22 lock. Still remember the West Coast final after being emotional on the bench he still had a massive smile on his face while singing the song after the game. It speaks volumes to me, he is one player I'd love to see get a bit of luck, the game owes him little.
Re: Preseason Training - 2019
Lipinski has certainly put in some work on his physical development as has Lynch. Lynch is no longer the skinny kid that arrived at the club 3 years ago.

Yep. Excited... :D
"Now Buku, as a defender you need to learn how to tackle big men en though your slight of frame. This is Tom Boyd. Tom is going to run at you at full pace and you have to stop him. Now just wait here for him, and don't worry we have a defibrillator somewhere in the change rooms if you encounter any bad luck."

Faulty defribs are a big problem ATM.

As has Bailey Dale... He looks to finally have a frame capable of mixing it so I'll watch his development with interest.

I did notice that and I should have mentioned it. He could be a big improver in 2019

It’s hard to say this without being completely disparaging to his character and effort, but I don’t want Jong anywhere near our best 22. We need players who can think their way through situations and use the ball better than we have demonstrated recently and he isn’t able to do that for mine.
Our game needs to move on from what worked in 2016, I don’t think he has capacity to do that beyond being a depth player should preferred options go down.
Re: Preseason Training - 2019
Someone just asked the Bulldog's Twitter account for details re next open training session - it will be tomorrow (4/12) at 2 pm. I can't make it but hopefully a Woofer or two can, and add any relevant training news to this forum afterwards :).

I stand to be corrected but it looks like Ben Cavarra to me
Re: Preseason Training - 2019
Looks younger and fairer in hair than Cavarra (I might be wrong though!). I initially thought Callum Porter but I do not think so. Does not look like any of this year’s recruits. A mystery.....
Re: Preseason Training - 2019
Darcy Cassar has been training with us today (Monday). he is a Western Jets bottom ager from this year and friends with Khamis. There was apparently another unidentified player with long, fair hair too.

That's OK. After he won his seventh B & F Scott West said words to the effect of "if wins next year's B&F that's not a good thing. We have to be bringing up players who put pressure on the blokes who are best 22 and also put pressure on the best players in the team. I don't want any more Sutton medals. I want to play finals and win a flag and we aren't going to do that with the same faces"
