Definitely too much to ask.

I don't have the spare cash for that.

And thanks Insomniac, were you one of the ones screaming when the boys turned up late?

Cronk & Slater seem very focused and ready to go, and Inglis just makes anything with or without the football look effortless (a funny moment occured when Steve Turner tried to run around the outside of GI, and GI just smiled, changed into second gear, and nudged him into touch... I feel sorry for anyone that tries that whilst not wearing a Storm jersey!). We all know that Dallas is a tackling machine, but it still astounds me how much of an impact he makes in tackles, even at half speed during training!

The only downer was Quinn, who made it half way through the session before leaving the field with Mary. When he did return to the field, it was only as far as the sidelines with some ice, and although I couldn't see exactly where the ice was placed, it looked like it could be thigh or groin related.

Other than that, White had a fair bit of strapping on, Koopu looks like he's fitting in well, Proctor looks good, Maloney (at least I think it was him) looked a bit off the pace, Isa and Chambers also looked good. I barely heard a word from Smith, with Cronk and Slater directing the show very vocally (Slater in particular seems to be looking after the young guys and making sure they are in the right position and running the right plays).

I'll look through my photos and see if there's anything interesting to upload...

Thanks for that...you are a darling

Ummm, no... well, maybe once!

Has anyone been designated the score updaterer? If not, it looks like I'm going to cave in and purchase one of the over-priced $40 tickets for the big game - the Storm and two full strength line-ups only minutes from where I live is too much to resist... so, I'd be happy to SMS score updates to someone that could post them on here... PM your mobile if you're interested...

Here are some photos from training... (sorry, the upload feature on this site won't work for me)
Photo: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20

Comments:
#5: This was funny - neither player would let the other put a hand on their shoulder, so they just ended up holding hands.
#9: Kearney (still in great shape!) was forced to make a tackle after Slater gave away a blatant penalty for interfering with the defender!

#10: Something we could see a bit of this year...
#12: Cronk, looking very scruffy but very buff, giving some much needed advice...
#14: First sign of the problem with Quinn (in background)...
#15: Cronk setting up a nice attacking play...
#16: There was hardly a time when Blair didn't have this smile on his face... (see #9 also)
#17: I only noticed Matty Johns was there when I checked my photos!
#18: Billy very vocal in directing traffic and controlling the defensive line... it's amazing the amount of work he does that goes relatively unnoticed.
#19: Quinn leaving the field about half way through the session... he didn't return.
#20: We don't want to be seeing this during the year...

Time to take the drive up north...

Insomniac · Sat Feb 28, 2009 5:20 pm

I'm heading off now too... I'll be relaying scores through Super Cronk (if I can still get in that is!)... GO STORM!!

Hang on GA tickets are $25 for 7 games of footy.... that's a good price if you ask me.
