As pre-season match simulation gets underway, the pressure for spots has heated up.

Instead of taking our word for it, we thought we'd get the boys to tell you who they've been impressed with at training so far.

Cam Rayner

"Jimmy Tunstill has been good and taken a step forward with his craft and skills.

"Hugh McCluggage has also taken a huge step forward with his leadership which has been noticeable by the group."

Lachie Neale

"I've been loving what Will Ashcroft has done so far. He's really clean with the footy and composed for a first year player.

"Darcy Wilmot's been reading the ball off half back really well and is vocal as always."

Daniel Rich

"Harry Sharp's skills have been noticeable as well as his hard running.

"Zac Bailey is looking clean and sharp like usual too."

Josh Dunkley

"Cal Ah Chee and Jaxon Prior for me. Both boys have been going really well and their skills have been good so far. They've both have come really fit." 

Hugh McCluggage

"Harry Sharp. Looks really fit and quick, covering the ground really well as usual but also showing that burst of speed to get onto the loose ball.

"He can play a variety of roles and is really working hard to improve his fundamental craft work."

Brandon Starcevich

"Jimmy Tunstill is really well and always working really hard on his game.

"He's putting in the hours with extra craft - touch, kicking and learning the wing role and played really well in our first match sim last week."

Darcy Wilmot

"Darragh Joyce and Conor McKenna. They've come and fit in really well, and quickly too. They've adjusted to our style and their efforts on and off field haven't gone unnoticed. Their voices on field have been big too."

Jaxon Prior

"Harry Sharp has put on some noticeable size and is kicking it really well. He's really working on his versatility and skills.

"Jimmy Tunstill's another one. He's absolutely flying and looked great on the track last week."

Darcy Fort

"Linc McCarthy for mine. Love what he's bringing at the moment and when he's roaming around the forward line he's always putting the backs to the sword."

Harry Sharp

"Zac Bailey. He's come back in great shape in all aspects. 

"He's looking really fit and strong and has impressed big time in his running in both conditioning sessions and drills too."

Linc McCarthy

"Darcy Wilmot. He's training with great energy and has been impressive with his closing speed to create turnovers in our match sim. He's really giving us another weapon in defence."

Darcy Gardiner

"Jimmy Tunstill's come back in good knick. He was solid in our match sim last week, good ball use, covered the ground well and looked really good."
