The 1-4 year players dialed up the intensity during Friday’s training session ahead of the full squad's return on Monday.

Joined by several senior players, including co-captains Oscar Allen and Liam Duggan, the session involved ball and contest work, goal kicking drills and lap conditioning to finish off a big session before the weekend.

Graham lands in the nest

Eagles fans got their first sighting of recruit Jack Graham, with the experienced midfielder hitting the track for the first time in the blue and gold. Graham arrived in Perth this week and impressed early with his work rate and craft, teaming up with Jake Waterman during kicking drills.

Young Eagles rise

The likes of Reuben Ginbey, Elijah Hewett and Clay Hall have launched into pre-season with energy and intensity. Setting the tone in several drills, their work in the off-season was evident with the trio pushing each other and raising the standards. Campbell Chesser also impressed with his body work, pace and ability to break free into space.

Baker & Owies make their mark

Liam Baker’s fast ball movement and Matt Owies slinky skills have been a highlight in drills, with the new additions showing exactly how they will impact Eagle’s game. The pair didn’t hold back during contested ball drills, applying great pressure and moving well through traffic.

Speedy Hunt

Jayden Hunt was prominent throughout the session with the dashing midfielder reminding everyone of his ability to break away from congestion and pierce the ball into the forward 50. He set the pace and turned on the jets to create multiple opportunities down the field.

Big men impact

It was pleasing to see ruck duo Matt Flynn and Bailey Williams out on the track, bringing physicality to contests. Tall youngsters Jack Williams, Archer Reid and Coen Livingstone showed their hunger and imposing presence during ball movement drills, while Ryan Maric displayed flair and accuracy in front of goal.
