    While everything is coming out in bits, Im just going to randomly be throwing up posts filled with disjointed information that I pick up about various clubs.

    So without further ado, can I present part one of Dribs and Drabs.

    Adelaide
    By now we all know, Andy Otten <a href="http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/story/0,22606,26466919-12428,00.html">is out for the year[/url]. First picked 2011. Good luck mate- get well.!
    In short, it will be interesting to see who fills the hole.
    <a href="http://www.afl.com.au/tabid/208/default.aspx?newsid=88002">Symes looks set to miss 6 weeks[/url].
    Sitting on the sidelines with Nathan Bock (heel), Nathan van Berlo (back) and Brodie Martin (knee)

    Brisbane
    A bit of talk on Cornelius stepping into the departed Hendersons shoes. Could be one to look at in a year or two.
    Leuenberger has bulked up which should help- and could place a question mark over Clark.

    Carlton
    Reports are all positive with McLean, Henderson, Yarran and Kruezer all being talked up at this early stage. To be taken with a grain of salt though.

    Collingwood
    Enjoyed a nice restful trip to Arizona. Not. Most players came back knackered.
    The ruck work of Jolly brought “tears to the eyes” of the mid-fielders. Augurs not so well for Josh Fraser, but could prove a bigger bounty for Swan, Pendlebury, and … LUKE BALL.
    Ball has settled in nicely. Leadership is his middle name.
    No injuries to speak of, apart from the “rehab group” who didn’t get the trip to “Zona”. Players left in Melbourne included Davis, Prestigiacomo, Anthony, Harry O and a handful of other triers. Their benefit was catching up with new board member and mad (and I mean Mad) Magpies fan Alisa Camplin.
    And the rumours of Travis Cloke and a knee injury. As fake as Tiger Woods’ drink driving excuse.

    Essendon
    Neagle- Surgery- Wont start training proper til after Christmas
    Hille- Has been looking sore and is still in the modified training group
    Hurley- <a href="http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/essendon-bomber-michael-hurley-on-assault-charge/story-e6frf9jf-1225807170810">Charged with assault[/url] - Will it affect his season? Who knows- keep an eye on him.

    Fremantle
    DeBoer- My early pick for "best value rookie".

    Geelong
    <a href="http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/should-i-stay-or-should-i-go-20091207-kfb7.html?autostart=1">Speculation on Gablett moving to the Gold Coast.[/url]- The premier player in the comp- will be a *huge* story, whichever way it goes!

    Hawthorn
    <a href="http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/minor-surgery-for-franklin-20091209-kk0o.html">Minor surgery for Franklin[/url]- Should interupt him too much though!
    Guerra- Broken leg on the Kokoda trail rumours turn out to be false.

    Melbourne
    Maric- Bulked up already- Which is a good sign.
    Tapscott is good value to lineup come round One.

    Kangaroos
    Bastinac- Looking the pick of the litter thus far.
    Edwards- <a href="http://www.kangaroos.com.au/season2008/news/newsarticle/tabid/4912/newsid/87954/default.aspx">Classic puff piece on "training the house down"[/url].
    Greenwood- Has been training with the midfielders.
    Warren- looks to have bulked up and could be a decent option up forward.
    Wright- Looking very good to hold down a top 22 spot this year.
    Ziebell- Training well- One to keep an eye on.

    Looks to be a lot of value early on in the Roos camp.

    Port Adelaide
    Ebert- <a href="http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/87984/default.aspx">Traingin the house down"[/url]- With added "potential move to the midfield" flakes.
    Hartlett- Seen to be running well.
    M. Motlop- Keep an eye on the boys midfield time through the off season.

    Richmond
    Cotchin and Foley- Spending another pre-season in the Mod group.
    Cousins has had hand surgury.

    St Kilda
    No open sessions til the new year.
    Lovett- <a href="http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/sport/new-signing-andrew-lovett-has-not-made-a-good-first-impression-at-st-kilda/story-e6frg7mf-1225803962591">Did bad[/url]- But shouldnt suffer too badly from it.

    Sydney
    <a href="http://www.sydneyswans.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/7106/newsid/87946/default.aspx">Rehab group- Heath, Seaby, Kennedy and Thornton[/url]- Always a promising sign.
    White- "Training the house down".

    Western Bulldogs
    Talked up their flag chances.
    Barry Hall looks ripped.
    Brad Johnson “could play another few years” - watch out KB/Tucky

    West Coast
    Cox and Kerr - Completed first full training on 9th December
    Sheppard- <a href="http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/87990/default.aspx">"Training the house down"[/url]
    Beau Waters - <a href="http://www.westcoasteagles.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/7155/newsid/87922/default.aspx">Arthoscope on knee[/url]- Out for 6 weeks.

    Anyone with anything they would like to add, feel free to throw it into the comments, and Ill be able to add it to the original post!
