Props to Zainer for putting his hand up to get 'posterized' for the greater good.

Using the Brad Johnson memorial marking bag no less. Or is that the drink cart... Maybe both!

Re: Preseason Training 2021
I guess this means 1 of them is training as a defender.

Looks like Young is pointing for the kicker to go left for a lead...
Schache to defence confirmed.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

He could be pointing to another forward for a defender to pick up.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

Very perceptive comrade !!
I wonder what surprises Bevo has in store for us, then again nothing with Bevo positions & selections should really surprise us.

Young is listed on the website as a Key Forward.
I know it doesn't mean much but it used to say key defender...
It could of course be a simple alternating leader/defender marking drill where they each take a turn...forwards - after all - have to defend as well!
What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

Just an entree to JUH one day taking one of the greatest high marks of all time, hopefully not over Zaine.

Intensity ramps up in match practice
Practice matches are just around the corner for the Western Bulldogs, with match simulation sessions at VU Whitten Oval ramping up.
A four-quarter training block across 80 minutes took place on a warm, windy morning at the Kennel on Friday.
It was an extension on the Bulldogs’ recent match simulation sessions.
An ‘unofficial’ practice match against another Victorian-based AFL club awaits over the coming month, before the AAMI Community Series match on March 8 against Melbourne at Marvel Stadium.
Star midfielder Josh Dunkley said things were progressing nicely at this stage of the pre-season.
“It was a good hit-out. We spent some time trying to build chemistry in teams and it was another step in the right direction,” he told westernbulldogs.com.au.
“The boys have been training really well since day one of pre-season. It’s been a positive start.”
Aaron Naughton was at his high-flying best, taking some big marks and converting. He was supported strongly by fellow forward Josh Bruce, who also spent time in the ruck.
Dunkley found plenty of the footy, as did the usual midfield suspects. Tom Liberatore was among them – he also hit the scoreboard on multiple occasions, as did Lin Jong.
Emerging midfielder-forwards Rhylee West and Ben Cavarra also showed some promising signs.
It’s been a different pre-season for the Bulldogs – and all clubs – with most returning to full training in the new year, as opposed to December.
But Dunkley praised the group for coming back in great physical condition, which has allowed them to get straight into match practice.
“The boys love playing footy, that’s what we’re here to do. It’s nice to be able to get those sessions in and slowly increase it as the weeks go on,” he said.
“There’s no rest, but it’s good. I think we’re going really well as a group and excited about what we can do this year.”

That picture of Naughton reminds me of a 1980’s tennis player.
More of an In Bruges guy?

I thought the same thing.
I wonder what is happening here:

Either Vitas or Guillermo Vilas. Vilas had the headband and Gerulaitis had the blonde locks.
