@abmbernation VFL this week

[EFC Track Watcher @EFCTrackWatcher]

@JamesLowrie24 Thanks James. Strange they did. Hope they are right.

[EFC Track Watcher @EFCTrackWatcher]

@wembanyanas Ran laps, back post bye

[EFC Track Watcher @EFCTrackWatcher]

@JohnSmithblea He does a lot bar contact drills. Aiming to be back just post bye

[EFC Track Watcher @EFCTrackWatcher]

Info from a mate at training:
- Redman, Durham, Rids and Artemis trained
- Gerreyn and McKay trained as fwds
- Merrett not much mid time, Perkins in there instead
- Club yet to decide on treatment path for May
- Parish and Saady didn't train

[EFC Track Watcher @EFCTrackWatcher]

@Slabotage I think he has struggled last few weeks in the backline. He has now done a bit of an apprenticeship, learning on some good fwds in the VFL, lets see if he can be a better forward now.

@abaa2318808 Non contact - running laps

[EFC Track Watcher @EFCTrackWatcher]

Info from Training:

- Caldwell didn't participate
- Redman didn't do much
- May completed the whole session
- Clarke aiming for a rd14 return to VFL

The vibe was good with a big cheer for Hayes return to footy via the VFL

[EFC Track Watcher @EFCTrackWatcher]

@asdjbf4 Was there today and watched the session 👍

[EFC Track Watcher @EFCTrackWatcher]

@DAJKeffa Yeah I'd say he plays

[EFC Track Watcher @EFCTrackWatcher]

@AFlorenca Not sure to be honest, he is a watch

[EFC Track Watcher @EFCTrackWatcher]

@Bombers_Boss Agree! The only way other coaches apply is if the board knock James back.

[EFC Track Watcher @EFCTrackWatcher]

@RoxDonsFan Cause no prospective coach out there will apply knowing Hird is going for it. Hickley has already said so. Last time we tried for Clarkson first and Barham was in charge. Welsh in charge now, a mate

[EFC Track Watcher @EFCTrackWatcher]

For me it's clear Hird has pretty much got the job and it's highly unlikely a credential candidate will apply for the role with Hird in the process, as his mate is also the President.
All I ask is for the club to not run some sham process, if he is the guy, just announced it.

[Bomber Banter @BomberBanter_au]

Thank you for coming in and clearing the decks Brad. We wouldn’t have the talented kids we do now without the excavation work you did and for that I am grateful.

I hope this now ignites a fresh new path forward - not backwards - and we start to earn back the respect we once had.

❤️🖤

[EFC Track Watcher @EFCTrackWatcher]

@DanielCherny @JChall22 Yeah I can where a mixed strategy, clubs still need mature players to protect the kids provide leadership like a Goldy did. Cap space isn't an issue for us, finding players to pay would be and is now.

[EFC Track Watcher @EFCTrackWatcher]

@DanielCherny Here's our picks, since you find it hard to put into your tweet. 2 of them look like stars already. The FA's do not impact the draft strategy. We traded the 2nd rd to get a gun in Caddy from the DRAFT. The question is, could we have traded more players out for picks, probably.
