Pre-season training - 2016

[Mofra]

IM hoping T Boyd comes back looking like his fitness has already gone to another level.

Hopefully he finally gets an uninterrupted pre-season, don't think he's had one as yet

Hopefully he will trim up a bit more as well and get his core strength up.. Last year he lost 5kg but that is not enough, he is a big boy and we don't want puppy fat.

All starts again on Monday. Ist to 4th year players are back, goals are already up.

1st to 4th years. So nearly everyone then?

Great to see Jackson Macrae fronting the media after training this morning, talking about how hungry the club is to improve and build on last year. Talked about how good it was to have Libba with the group and the need to push each other for spots.

Really impressive kid. Gee we've got a sensational batch of potential young leaders.

Top Three from this mornings run:

[Dancin' Douggy]

Macrae really looks like a young Russell Crowe. Even has the same expression.

[jazzadogs]

That's Dickson, Biggs, McLean in the run? Great signs for all three if they are coming back in that sort of shape.

[comrade]

Awesome to hear McLean has come back in good nick. Looking forward to a HUGE year from Magic.

Yup, shave the hair and it'd be just like Romper Stomper era Rusty on the streets of Footscray all over again (totally different persona though thankfully)

[Remi Moses]

Gee I'd just about have a sneaky bet on Toby winning the rising star.

That's Dickson, Biggs, McLean in the run? Great signs for all three if they are coming back in that sort of shape.

Great to hear about McLean, i heard he took a while to adapt to the work rate etc required as an AFL player.

[The Underdog]

Libba's hair is my top pre-season performer so far. Its elite.

[Smads57]

I've been busting for the start of this pre-season. Usually I am buoyant about any new year, but 2016 can't come quick enough. Agree with the comments that the Magic man might be a smokey for the Rising Star.

[F'scary]

Three absolute gifts who will just keep on giving: Biggs cost only a 2 pick downgrade in the late 30's, McLean top 10 quality at pick 26, Dickson, a complete smokey at pick 57. You have to be in awe at the astuteness of the recruiting.
