Back on track - Pettifer trains with some heat

Tuesdays at the home of the Tiger over summer are choose your poison day. Basically the boys choose what it is they wish to do. Today being a blistering 37 degrees meant that not many of the players even ventured out. Leaving me, and a camera with an embarrasingly large lense, sitting in the hot sunshine taking photos of only the few that were silly enough to step out of the weights gym.

In retrospect hot days at Tigerland are more days for the women than the men. Jay Shulz is massive and has some sort of tattoo on his right shoulder blade. Daniel Jackson is massive and instead of tanning he goes a sore looking shade of pink which matches his red hair. JON is far from massive and probably doesn't need to wear sunscreen but he looked sharp and confident today but probably should have been in the gym with a years supply of protein powder by his side.

Mark Coughlan made a late appearance for some kick to kick. He still looks to be working into it. Some of his kicks look effortless and at other times laboured. His old mate Kayne Pettifer appeared not too long after to make fun of his team mates and generally act like a pest. He had a fairly jovial conversation with one of the young guys at one stage about being back on the track, on the tracks, catching a V-Line. Anyway seems he thinks he's back. He'd better be or unfortunatley he probably will be catching a V-Line service back to Kyabram at season end.

Shane Tuck attracted some funny looks as he transferred two large bags of ice to his car and zoomed off. Must have been running late for a BBQ or perhaps he had forgotten to have his air conditoner regassed in timer for the hot weather.

Unfortunately training finished on a sour note with two very attractive young women turning up at the end. They smiled and giggled when they saw that half of the players on the ground had their tops off. Then noticing that there weren't many players on the ground asked whether they had arrived at the start or the end. Being told it was the end of training they left, and along with those who had managed to tear their eyes away from once again noticing that Jake Kings head is too large for his body, were disapointed.
