EDDIE’S BACK

Eddie Betts’ homecoming became a bit more real on Wednesday when he joined the Carlton players out on the field for the second day of pre-season training.

Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Blues coach David Teague confirmed senior players made the call to get Betts back in Blue .

Now he is ready to go for the 2020 season, and he has already taken ownership of his forward pocket.

RECRUITS DON NEW COLOURS

Along with Eddie Betts, three other recruits completed their first training session at their new club today.

Kaiden Brand and Sam Gray trained at Sydney not even a week after the club picked them up as delisted free agents.

Blake Acres started his journey out west after being part of the trade to get Brad Hill to St Kilda.

Upon arriving to Sydney, Gray said he was excited about what lays ahead for the club.

He even received a welcome text from Lance Franklin, who got straight back intro training on Monday.

CURNOW’S RECOVERY ON TRACK

A basketball incident may mean he requires patella surgery, but that didn’t stop Charlie Curnow getting out on the track today - albeit on light duties.

Speaking on SEN Breakfast, Teague was pleasantly “surprised” to see Curnow in action so early, with the 22-year-old doing a bike session at the club earlier in the week.

His brother Ed also joined in on the training session - two weeks before he was required to return to the club.

Don't fear.

MORE POWER VETERANS HIT THE TRACK

Experienced trio Brad Ebert, Charlie Dixon and Steven Motlop all joined the club’s first to fourth years players on the second day of pre-season training.

Ebert had concussion issues in 2019 while Dixon played nine games in his recovery from a broken leg.

They join Jack Watts and Robbie Gray as the players who have decided to come back to the club early.

Watts and Gray were training on Monday, after both having injury troubles (Watts- leg, Gray- hand) during the season.
