Bit late getting this post out but went down to Waverly on Friday for a training session. One of the features of the session was a number of players in there original home club outfits. A good session by all. I spent a lot of it watching the rucks doing their thing. Check the photos out for more comments.

Boys had training yesterday. A very hard session. During the time I was there, I think there was a heavy price being put on endurance type work.

A few years ago the Hawks started up Super Saturday training on the days before they played on a Sunday in Melbourne. It is a great day for the family with Hawka, BBQ and players training and signing autographs. Here are photos from this weeks version. (More photos over here too!!!)
Training Photos – 17 Feb 2010 – Burgoyne joins Main Group
February 18, 2010 By 6 Comments
After the good NAB Cup Round 1 win over the Tigers (I hope to write up my thoughts soon) the boys returned to Melbourne and back at training. Their were some extra guys in the rehab group from the game (Franklin, Mitchell and Gilham to name a couple) but shouldn’t be too much worries on these guys. The good news was the guys that were in the main group (for the first hour of training that I saw anyway). The guys I was excited to see most were 3 new guys and one young guy that we haven’t seen a lot of. Josh Gibson, Rhan Hooper and Shaun Burgoyne along with second year rookie, Carl Peterson (who is looking lean). I am trying something different with the photos. I will include some photos here and then there is about 100 of them on the following page that you can check out. On these posts I try not to have too many of the same player where as on the Page there are some players that there are many photos of (Shaun Burgoyne just to name one). Here are the photos:

Got down to training this morning. Really enjoyed seeing the drills this morning. A few boys stepped it up and others in the rehab group. Unfortunately won’t be at Open training Friday before they go to Tassie for the NAB Cup opener against Richmond (if anyone does and wants to share commentary/photos, let me know, would love to put them up).
Enjoy the photos below! Who looks good. Don’t hesitate to comment below (have made it easier but will moderate to stop spam).
Training 25/11/2009 – More Running
November 26, 2009 By Leave a Comment
Second post form the 25th November 2009. Mostly running although there is one of Jordan Lewis doing kicking practice. Not sure the reason for this as its the second time that while the rest of the group ran, he was doing kicking practice. Amoungst the photos is one of Wade Skipper, formerly of the Bulldogs, who is hoping to be picked up in todays draft. From the phantom drafts that have come out, it appears he might be waiting for the Rookie draft to be picked up as a Mature Aged Rookie.
Campbell Brown and Lance Franklin
Jarrod Roughead and Luke Hodge
Beau Muston, Grant Birchall and Ryan Schoenmakers
