It's a simple equation, if you are one of the best payed players then you should be one of the best performed too and JJ is a long way short of being that.

    I am not sure a photo at a music festival (taken while he is still on leave) is any type of sign that he is or isn't pulling out all the stops.

    Away from the camera he may be hitting the gym hard for all we know and he may well be in excellent shape. Some players may choose to come back early, others may do extra in an exotic location/somewhere away from the usual daily grind of the footy club (such as Bont and Dunkley in NY).

    7th in the B&F (1 vote off equal 5th) after sacrificing his own game for periods during the year, it's not like he's just cruising. Didn't he also win a best team player award?

    FWIW Webb posted the exact same photo on the 24th of October. So I think it's more of a throwback rather then a message to the 1-4 year guys

    Fair enough I guess. It looks like the festival was a few weeks ago too, I went a bit hard early!

    I believe the women started back training today. Wonder if they mix in any sort of way to learn how the men do certain things or they keep them separate.

    Summer watch: Keep up to date with the latest news from every club over 2019 AFL pre-season

    WESTERN BULLDOGS
    THERE were plenty of smiles at Whitten Oval when Liam Picken returned to pre-season training more than a week ahead of schedule. Picken – a 2016 premiership player – missed the 2018 season after suffering a heavy concussion during a pre-season match in March but is understood to be recovering well and is determined to return to the football field. Midfielder Tom Liberatore also hit the track early, having missed all of the year after rupturing his ACL in Round 1.

    RECRUIT Sam Lloyd plans to play predominantly in his natural position next season – forward. Lloyd, who crossed from Richmond during the trade period, had been morphed into a midfielder at the Tigers, playing a lot of VFL football there over the past two years. But Lloyd admits he is a “forward at heart” and should return there. He kicked 35 goals from 22 games for Richmond in 2016.

    KEY forward Josh Schache is determined to make his mark in 2019 as he enters his fourth season of AFL football. The 21-year-old took a short break to America over his break before beginning his own training schedule in his hometown of Seymour, including hitting the local pool four times a week along with gym work and running. The No.2 draft pick in 2015, Schache has said he is determined to earn respect during pre-season and in 2019 after showing some positive signs during 2018, kicking 17 goals from 13 games.

    Draft picks: 7, 27, 32, 45, 63, 75, 82

    Schache could be a real surprise packet in 2019.

    Love this bit:

    Re: Preseason Training - 2019

    He did the extra pre-season training before he joined us too. It sounds like he wants to try to build a Nick Riewoldt type of running power in time. He already covers a lot of ground with good field and goal kicking skills. To think he's only 21. So much talent to unlock.

    Oh does he just? Afraid you came to the wrong club for that sort of new-fangled thinking, bucko.

    PS: the JJ post was a stupid harmless GAG Woofers. That it garnered any traction tells me it's peak off-season. Hurry up draft.
