Our draftees Ryan Gardner, Wylie Buzza, Sam Menegola, Matthew Hayball, Jock Cornell, James Parsons and Tom Ruggles were out on the track together for the first time today.

Gardner, Buzza and Cornell were thrown straight into it, joining the main group in a heavy contested session for the first hour.

Buzza was unmissable in his fluro pink boots and showed plenty of promise.

Meanwhile Menegola, Hayball and Ruggles did some lighter training with skipper Joel Selwood.

Parsons' participation was restricted due to soreness.
