I'm chilling out down at training. You may get a few posters saying not the best skills etc but for such a bloody hot day the boys are putt8ng it in, in match sims and have put great defensive efforts in.
Muzz and Walters have been supurb. Blakely has to be starting 22 at this point in time.

Cheers for your early report, due to you not mentioning Bennell, I guess we can assume that he is not with the main group today?
Skills looks pretty good from this short video. Maybe we have higher standards now? Is it mostly starting 22 with the errors?

Just a few old blokes I walked past complaining about it. Plus I often read training reports saying that the kicking isn't of a high standard.
Most guys kicked well despite a few up and unders and a few into the mark. Defensive pressure was really good though.
I thought the kicking was good today.
Harley drove out of the ground at about 9.20.
Apparently the rehab group went to another ground to train.

Ha ha cheers old bloke. I definitely wasn't referring to you. I stood next to a guy momentarily with Salim and he started bitching about the dispolsal. I managed to hold my tongue which is unlike me.
I just needed to vent in this to get it out of my system

Mate that's just a brief warm up. During the full match sims with pressure it's very different.
Wish they had put up some of that for the public to view.
makes sense. would have been way too hot to wait till after training.
I just came from Freo Oval. Amazed they stuck at it for as long as they did. I was hyperventilating just watching.
lots of match sims as usual. skills were pretty decent overall.
Everyone is training well, its hard to pick out anyone today but some things I noticed.
Walters training the house down as usual.
Silvagni continues to impress standing Pav in sims.
Dawson just quietly goes about it.
Uber and Collins definitely in the mix already.
Smith still with the forwards.
Clancee had a lot of it today, some of his kicking was great but he continues to be vulnerable to the smother when he takes too long to get the ball on the boot and his eyes go down.
Deluca does some really nice things including marking a strong contested ball but his kicking action is horrendous.
Tucker is very impressive. I see him getting game time this year. He's so organised and tidy and just gets it done when its his turn.
Blakely continues to shine, in everything and looking right at home.
Weller also continues to be prominent and shows an aptitude for getting on the end of it in the forward half. Kicked a very nice set shot in a sim.
Mayne typically busy and energetic.
All the guys you expect to just keep doing what they do, Hill, Sandi, Mundy, Neale, Ibbo, Suban, Sherro, DeBoer, Gu, Spurr, Sutty (excellent kicking today).
Hughes just catches my eyes every time. Really think he might be something.
Crozier had some nice involvements today.
Fyfe did a couple of things that reminded me why he has a Brownlow medal.
Nyhuis could step straight in as a tidy defender.
Pressure going up all the time. The excitement is getting palpable as we get closer to actual competitive footy.
Dockers feel the heat at training

hahahaahah oh god! that start of video is hilarious!! Good match sim footage though for those who can't make it to training....lol at the annoyed grunt by Johnson. And Ibbo kicking into the man on the mark...HA
AFL website says the rehab group - including Harley trained at East Fremantle Oval today, obviously to allow the full ground match sims at South Fremantle.

In regards Deluca and his kicking action. Does his action result in him not getting his foot to the ball and does he hit targets if so then why worry about what his hands are doing.
I thought Clarke was outstanding today he ran well and kicked well and ran to cover space after he had kicked the ball.

The match sims are now a regular occurrence. I think it's to get rehab finished early due to the heat. They often come out after the main squad.
You're right, I forgot about Clarke, he was indeed impressive.
I haven't seen enough of Deluca to really give an opinion on whether his kicking is generally good or bad. The one I saw from up close today (after he took a great mark) was very high and loopy and not what you'd hope to see from an AFL player.
Maybe he's a gun kick. I'd consider it unlikely with that action but happy to be wrong.
