With only a fortnight until our first NAB Challenge game against West Coast, Thursday’s training session focused on game tactics with some match simulation.

Andrew Carazzo impressed with his leadership and work rate, as did Nick Graham, who showed he is really putting in the hard yards.

Simon White was one of the standouts, playing well in defence and making life difficult for his opponent.

Ciaran Byrne took some time out of his busy schedule to speak about the session.

“Everyone played some really solid football today and the ball was flying around, which was great to see,” Byrne said.

“The new draftees are really showing what they can bring to the group, which is a really positive sign.”

After some work on the ground the team moved into three groups for rotations consisting of weights, balance and core work, as well as conditioning.

The players now have a well deserved three-day break to rejuvenate before another big week in the lead-up to the NAB Challenge.
