That would have been Scraggers.

Yup ... it was me !! I even got the bearded-one to sign my shirt

Bornadog has done a great job describing training ... so not much more to add, but here goes ...

The tackling drills were 'no holds barred' full contact ... Johnno copped a corky early on and got called out by Rocket to see how bad ... Johnno sat out for two or three rotations but was straight back into it.

Gilbee's injury didn't look all that bad (obvious with 20-20 hindsight really... he played okay), but the medical staff and trainers were taking no precautions

The mini game has a huge focus on set plays ... most players were very vocal about being in the correct position for kick outs or ball-ups. In saying all that, the 'play on at all cost' approach was very evident in all drills and game scenarios.

Josh Hill and Shaun Higgins were stand outs for me

After training the boys had some pot-shots from the boundary ... two things ...
1. Johnno still can't kick a banana and
2. one of the young guns (name escapes me ... I was standing with FDOTM at the time, he may be able to help) kicked a pearler of a banana from behind the line of the goal posts

AS the boys meandered off the ground into the new training facilities, I hit most of them up for an autograph ... as I have already mentioned I got Ben Hudson to sign the BHBAS t-shirt ... I had a good conversation with Bobby Murphy as he signed my hat he told me he loved the shirt, I told him that I had heard he had ordered one ... he confirmed this and told me he can't wait to get it



Aker actually approached me to give me an autograph (I didn't have to chase which was good) he also acknowledged the BHBAS shirt stating "it's gold man, pure gold" ... you couldn't wipe the smile off my face



One last thing ... Roughead looks a good sought ... and Cordy is bloody tall ... he made Anstey look normal in stature

Nice report Scraggers, but did you forget something? Did someone show you something?
