Training 2015/16 preseason training (discussion)

[Allikat]

Nup but judging on previous years I'd say probably the 18th-4th or 11th.

Sweet! I'll be there around the 12th

You'll be fine with that. They usually go ~ a week before Christmas.

More lookers than players this morning.Nice to see Gaskin and Fred and great to meet Dannythedoorman.
Not much to add from Gaskins report but the positive was that there where no stragglers on the runs. Hannath surprised by keeping up with Taberner.
Footballs came out very early in the session and skills were OK considering the lay of. Mora looked great and completed a full session without any strapping on his knees.We were told that he is pain free for the first time in a long time but were also reminded its only the first day. Hughes has bulked up and looks great,the Irishman also trained well. Clancee,DeLuca and Sutcliffe ran laps with Clancee looking trim and with a new hair cut. Neale and Crozier led the runs by a good margin. Bennell looked fit and finished a full session.. The training the house down award must go to Mora just because we love him.

Did you see Apeness come out of the Gym and go down to the water tent area for about 5 minutes and he didn't have any tape on his knee so that's a relief.

 

[DannyTheDoorman]

Cheers for the reports lads - great to see them back, Harley and Morra especially.

Anyone sight Apeness today? - Love to hear how he's doing.

Gekko71 Apeness came down to the water tent from the Changeroom/Gym area with about 30 mins to go in the session and he had no tape on his knee and walked up and down the stairs without a limp so that's a good sign.

Guess where I am ? A certain big name recruit is on the track. Can you believe we're back into it. pic.twitter.com/6BgsyYDR4k

Barra said down at training this morning that he will be on Ch 7 News tonight talking about the start of preseason training and Harley Bennell being at Training.(Don't know if he will mention that Harley late in the session put a wet flannel around his neck to cool off but in fairness it was a tad warm at Ground level)

 

[DannyTheDoorman]

All the boys looked in great shape. Harley looked great and in good nick. They didn't do a helluva lot of running being the 1st session back but he didn't look out of place. The fittest on the track looked like Lachie and Croz who ended up running together instead of the groups that the others were in. It was commented that Lachie seemed to be growing into a real leader being very vocal encouraging the rest of the boys. Mora trained fully with no bandaging at all. They put him through his paces with some agility stuff and he got through it fine. Blakely has slimmed down and when asked if he has lost weight by one of the watchers he said "yeah a little bit". Weller looked to me like he had bulked up a little bit. Out of all the 2nd year players, Hughes looks the best body wise as salim will probably agree with. Clancee was there doing some running even though he didn't have to be.

I leave anything else for Salim since he was there longer than me.

gaskin and salim malik: When is the next training session I coudn't find anything on the website and I rang the club but the reception lady said she hadn't been advised by the coaching staff so she couldn't help. Did anyone of the players/coaches let you know when you were there today when they are next on the track?

 

[Deathly]

So what do we think is the best thing to come out of today? Mora?

For all on here who are sentimental and love a battler it has to be Mora.

What do you personally think it was since you were there? Really Mora or too hard to say after one session.

Lachie Neale was the standout although Mora was on song and performed all of the skills, drills and run throughs.

Sutcliffe was also there lapping it.
I wouldn't have thought he would be required back yet.
Harley and Mora were looking comfortable with the running. I was impressed with the speed shown by Alex Pearce In the goal to goal runs too.

 

[Fred Ziffel]

I think I read somewhere Apeness was somewhere in the Gym - still rehabbing.

Will not be running til early to mid January.

 

[Fred Ziffel]

So what do we think is the best thing to come out of today? Mora?

Yeah Mora running smoothly and looking to be without discomfort.
Also, Harley was great and kicking off both feet impressively. So those two, which was what I was hoping to see.

Fred do you think Mora can make a cameo in afl 2016?

 

[Deathly]

I think Mora could start if he gets through unscathed before Round 1.

 

[E Shed]

wow imagine if Mora can play this year. Him and Bennell with Fyfe, Hill, Neale . . .
with the likes of Hughes, Grey, Weller, Langdon, Blakely, A Pearce its an exciting young group all of a sudden.

 

[Carnthedockers]

Anyone else like me with Morra, not expectant just hopeful, and even that is only a glimmer now.

 

[Fred Ziffel]

Fred do you think Mora can make a cameo in afl 2016?

Yes I do. I reckon we will get to see him in pre-season games and from there he is as good a chance as anyone.
I am expecting some Peel games would be needed before he will get a run in Purple though.

 

[Fred Ziffel]

More than hopeful for me. I am confident he will play Peel games.
For today though, it was more than just the fact he did the whole session comfortably but was one of the impressive trainers.

I know he's only likely to be a rookie for us now, but even games for peel aren't anything to get me pumped about his future.
