I was there today, and I can confirm what the poster on Big Footy said, that they are working very, very hard. They were on track by 10am, and still going at high intensity when I had to leave at 12:30.
As well as doing a lot of gruelling, keepings off stuff in several groups,with hard running and tackling,they also did an exercise where players had to gather the ball and bust through two tacklers thumping them with padded bags. If they spilled the ball in the process, they had to do 8-10 push-ups. They did two variations on this drill, where they had to either fend off the guys with the bags with a stiff arm, or bump them back with a shoulder. I loved the physicality, and the fact that they were made accountable if they fluffed the drill.
Incidentally MT, don't be too shocked when you next see our mutual friend. She took a bit of a tumble into her rose bushes this week, scratching her face, and breaking her wrist.
