Thought I'd start this thread for any discussions on how the players and club are tracking in the off-season.
I'll start with Isaac Smith winning the 2k time trial ahead of Billy Hartung...

I'm not expecting #23 to get on the field any time soon. He may play 2-3 games if Roughy/Hale get injured or are rested but even then I'd still pick Grimley ahead of him at this point.
I'm hopeful he can play 6-10 games in 2015 if he comes along well.
Sweeet, thanks.
Looking forward to seeing Shoey back.

Shoey's guns getting bigger by the day.

Christ he's a unit :o
Far out, I swear he was like half that size last time we saw him on the field. :o
Woah, he looks like an absolute jet, that is amazing. His biceps are massive! He looks like a yoga teacher though with that hair hahaha. Wouldn't like to play him one on one this year.
Bit of Fabio in the look?

Yes Nige, hahahahah.
Is Schoey boxing or playing footy this year?
Garlett Update. (http://www.hawthornfc.com.au/news/2014-01-23/hard-work-first-dreams-later-for-garlett.workstation)
Hopefully that means he wont be able to be pushed around as much by the big boys like Cloke and Hawkins who he has struggled with in the past. If he plays back of course that is, which he will surely do at some stage.
Jed looked very skinny in the latest pic of him. I know he wasn't exactly a bull to start with but the pneumonia must have really knocked him around.

flower Jed looks tiny in that pick. Pneumonia can do that though.

Tackling Training...

"Mitch Hallahan, Alex Woodward and Will Langford are ready to take their place in a midfield as deep and talented as any in the competition and will be given every opportunity to press their claims for a place in the side for the season opener against the Brisbane Lions at Aurora Stadium on 22 March."
- AFL Website.
Not sold on Langford but Hallahan and Woodward could be jokers in the 2014 pack. If we could get those two guys up and running and develop Garlett, Hartung and O'Brien over the next 24 months that will help us immensely.

Intra-club Game

Hallahan looks solid. Good to see suckling back in action as well
Judging by McEvoy's legs he is half man, half yeti.
