Preview Pre-Season 2015 - Training, Pics etc

[Blue By Blood]

Not the most terrifying Key Forward trio .

Oh well, fingers crossed.

All of them are very good marks. None of them are exceptionally reliable shots at goal though! Will be interesting to see how this setup performs next year. With Menzel, Walker, and Thomas running around at their feet it should be at least a difficult forward line to match up on.

I want training pics (TP). Give them to me. I want them.

Settle down Beavis. Somebody, get some TP for his...

Byrne’s journey into the Blue beyond

In reflecting on his all-too-brief tenure at Carlton, Byrne acknowledges the game’s physical demands as the greatest of demands. As he said: “Tackling is probably the hardest area of the game I’ve had to adapt to” and he’s put on weight to help his cause.

And yet, the most fundamental of skills – kicking - has never posed a problem for Byrne – the legacy of a precious piece of pigskin that might one day find its way into this club’s museum. “I’ve found the oval ball easy enough to adapt to because I’ve slept with a footy since I was 16 . . . and that was because I knew Carlton was interested,” Byrne said. “When I found that out I got my cousins from Australia to send over a footy.
It probably wasn’t the correct size, but I still slept with it and I did everything I could to improve my kicking with it.”

Good to read he's eligible to play seniors in 2015.

"But I still slept with it and I did everything I could"

Hope he went and saw a doctor after this experience.

[chipzac]

wheres the rest of Kreuzer?

Yeah, not looking too good there, and he's also shrank to Carrazzo's height

 

[Sheephead]

Of those of you who have ventured to watch the boys train, can someone give me a sensible summary of how Matt Dick has been going? Does he look any good?

 

[VitalDread]

Yeah hard to say but the Henderson Jones Watson trio are all reliable kicks. They may miss occasionally but not regularly.

I'm sorry but you are incorrect on Jones
Seen him play all his career in the vfl and AFL
he's a low % goal kicker and horrible kick up the ground.

 

[etsal1]

It's like Dogs supporters trawl our board for any thread that mentions Jones.

Kicked 12.4 in 10 AFL games
Kicked 27.11 in 10 VFL games

Sounds like a pretty decent goal kicker to me.

Thats set shots on goals
I'm talking his kicking in general
under kicks/over kicks and lazy kicks it
I'm happy hes getting a solid chance somewhere else, got us Caleb Daniel after all

 

[etsal1]

Ahh yes, Caleb Daniel the proven AFL player.

Sorry, when you said "low % goal kicker" i thought you were referring to his goal kicking.

So Jones is a good set shot for goal but is a rubbish field kick?

Mick might have to rethink playing him off half-back and instead reinvent him as a permanent forward.

But he's a 'horrible lazy kick' SOAP.

On second thoughts, he might kick some 'lazy' goals up forward!

wheres the rest of Kreuzer?

just saw him at my local supermarket, was looking super fit (shorter than i thought he'd be though)

 

[thylacine60]

Did you give him the new recruit greeting - "Welcome to Carlton".

I didn't see Aph start a welcome thread...

Think she should....
