It was Day 1 of pre-season for our youngsters, with a large contingent taking to RSEA Park for their first time ahead of the 2026 season.
Led by star trio Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera, Marcus Windhager and Mitchito Owens, the young crew got to work with the help of a few veteran teammates making an early appearance on the track.
Mason Wood found himself with the boots on as the oldest member of the contingent as he looks to continue his strong consistency as a Saint into the 2026 season.
New Saint Sam Flanders was another who came back to pre-season early, making his mark on the first day as he worked alongside Wanganeen-Milera.
The former Suns midfielder is set to stake his claim in the engine room over the pre-season.
Arguably the most impressive return from the off-season was Darcy Wilson, who has put on some seriously impressive size as he looks to take his game to the next level as a midfielder.
In the rehab group, Max King and Hunter Clark both ran laps as they ramp back into training.
The full group is due to resume training on the 24th of November, along with the latest bunch of draftees with the National and Rookie Drafts taking place on the 19th and 21st of November respectively.
