I think it went HRS, Seth Campbell, steely green then cummy to round out top 4 of our 1-4 year players. Who does that leave that’s notable? Rioli? Gibcus?

You would think that Gibcus wouldn't beished to hard and his time isn't that important

Getting through each session without any issues would be the priority

Not sure why the 2km time trial holds so much significance.  For KPP you'd rather be focused on repeat 200m results.  Not only being able to keep up with intense sprint efforts but being able to back them up time and again.

Mate's 2km is promising though.  He needs to be a first ruck and covering ground back and forward is important for that.  We just need him to run intelligently, mark the ball and dispose of it.  Let's see how he goes with the footies!

I guess it's a measure of your tank.

Richo had an amazing tank.

I had a chat with him today.

He has signed a 1 year deal.

Will start preseason injury free for the first time.

He’s 43rd on the list.
Don’t worry about it.

That poster is his Croat mate and clearly taking the pee.....convo was probably in Croatian with the only words in English being "Big Footy melts" followed by some very hearty & guttural Slavic laughter... :shh

He doesn't really fit the meaning of list clogged

He is a cat B player so outside the main list. And we can have 3 cat B players but only have two at the moment.

If you are alluding to us seemingly wasting our time with him then yes agree

He’s been around so long we might have to start calling him

I’m all for giving players time, but I haven’t seen anything to suggest he will consistently play seniors. He is a list clogger because he takes the place of another who may be developed into a player of AFL stardard.
