Pre Season SnapShot - Brisbane

BRISBANE

Medical room: The Lions have had 35 players in full training in the lead-up to Christmas. Those still in recovery mode include Joel Patfull (hand), Matt Austin (leg), Brendan Fevola (groin), and impressive draftee Rohan Bewick (shin), but they should all resume with the main group shortly after the Christmas break. Jonathan Brown (groin) and Jamie Charman (ankle) will also be eased back into training but young midfielder Callum Bartlett (knee) isnâ€™t expected back until midway through the season.

Who's burning: Irish rookie Niall McKeever has been among the standouts at training while young midfielders Tom Rockliff and Jack Redden look as though they might continue on from impressive seasons. Several players are running great times in the club's 3km time trials, with Burton's new training methods paying dividends. Andrew Raines has been a noticeable star on the track and has shown no signs of the injuries that plagued him last season. Sam Sheldon, another who has been in and out of the doctor's room in recent times, has had an uninterrupted summer for the first time in his four-year career.

Draftee watch: Josh Green. Taken at pick 32 in the NAB AFL Draft, the Tasmanian plays in the midfield, is courageous and he goes and gets his own ball. But perhaps the attribute that has most endeared Green to the Brownlow Medallist is his distinctive red hair - a trait he also shares with his senior coach.
