From a promising defender to a first-year mature midfielder, find out how the players wearing No.41 to No.45 are tracking this pre-season ...
46. Dean Terlich
He’s fitted in really well since being drafted in November. Dean’s a really bubbly character and he’s got a lot of speed about him. He’s got good skill level and sees the game well. You’ve got the feeling he’s here to play senior footy and not just be on the list. He’s here to play and the boys have embraced him into the group. – Jade Rawlings
47. Tom Couch (rookie)
Tom has completed all sessions and has had a reasonable pre-season. We’re still asking Tom to improve his conditioning, particularly his running. But from a football point-of-view, he has improved on a weekly basis. We’re looking forward to Tom having a strong season in 2013. – Brian Royal
48. Jack Fitzpatrick
Jack’s been able to gain some size and strength. His speed is great for a player standing at 200cm. He’s still working hard on his skills. Jack’s also spent some time in the ruck, so he’s been able to compete against Jake Spencer and Mark Jamar as well. So that’s been good for Jack’s development. – Leigh Brown
49. Nathan Stark (rookie)
Nathan has only been with us for a short time, having been our first selection in the Rookie Draft. Already, we’ve been impressed with his attitude, his willingness to want to learn and understand our structures. He’s been eager to get into the program. – Brian Royal
50. Mitch Clisby (rookie)
It’s hard to judge Mitch at this poin t in time, given he’s just joined the club during our pre-season camp in Darwin. He’s originally from Broken Hill in New South Wales, but was drafted from North Adelaide in the SANFL. He’s a 22-year-old mature-age recruit. – Jade Rawlings
