Pre-Season Training

[threesixpio]

Wing. Upgrade on Jarrad Grant's former spot in the 22.

That's where he should play. Eek. You got a good one

I'm catching up with a couple of guys in the footy dept tomorrow. Any specific questions (within reason) anyone has?

Ask them what is with all closed sessions and cloak and dagger s**t and has
Bevo gone a bit Howard Hughes after Taliagate. Also how many games do
they think opposition analysts need to pick apart a game plan and target
the prime movers. And finally have sales of egg and bacon rolls at the
cafe increased significantly in the last two weeks.

Hahaha. He'll love it

Sorry for the intrusion. How's Suckers going? Where do you think he'll play.

Big ups on the username. If rumours were true we nearly drafted him. Be interested to see how O'rourke ends up. Hope he makes it!

All questions that demand answers!

A poster said he was BOG for our scratch match this week so looking good!

Great to see Clay Smith is up there.

Does anyone know when they are shooting to have him back into competitive footy?

Hoping they will make him sit out for at least 12 months instead of the standard 9 - just to give him every chance of getting the knee settled. I know its harsh for the kid, but he has a long future in front of him and I would hate to see him go down again...

All reports indicate Wing/Half forward. From training reports it seems its a bit of a plan to get him delivering inside 50 as much as possible.

Agree Norm 100%, Also i agree entirely with your cheese rant, if a man
says no cheese then in what universe does he expect to see cheese ??

Mostly at Etihad....

 

[Ghenghis]

Mostly at Etihad....

And hopefully a couple of times at the MCG (in September)

 

[Bemoreboyddog]

Will be heading to the VIP Event on Saturday should be good

Did you get a confirmation email or something in the post to get you in on Saturday?

He is likely to play round 1 and some reportd that he will be playing wing/forward/defence

 

[VitalDread]

Asked the club via twitter if the intra club match will be recorded and uploaded
Hope they start doing that for VFL games

Thatd be fantastic. Richmond live stream their twos gamea. I would be more than happy to pay for a service like that.

I'm slightly more confused than before I came...

Boyd/Minno/Campbell all in the mix for the ruck-forward role. All going well - Boyd has improved greatly but still a year or two away. Roughy sounds likely for first ruck by process of elimination.

They see a core group of 12-15 players and then the rest rotating around them. Dale, McLean, Caleb, Webb all on a fairly even keen and will get games according to opposition match-ups. JJ still a likely lock down back rather than a wing but will rotate.

Couldn't pick one for my SuperCoach - thinks they'll all rotate and there is a fairly even keel after that 12-15 player core.

New backs going well and will get games. Goetz and Williams likely a year away but the others will all get a chance.

Happy with the specimen and Collins but none of Roberts/Collins et al are a total lock for the tall back roll at this point. Tomorrows inter match will give them a good look at it and they are open minded going into the NAB.

Only 2 players in recovery group and the rest are flying - feeling really good about where we are at.

Hrovat going well and will get chances.

The closed sessions are really important to them and acknowledging that people can sit on the hill they'll continue to just chase them off. they are implementing subtle things they simply don't want anyone to know about so that won't change for the good of the club.

Everyone loves cheese

New sponsorship opportunities definitely opening up out of Ballarat. Wouldn't expect a mission level out of it but good opportunities coming and they will have a Ballarat focus sponsor game in round 8.

None of that is new but good to hear it from the horses mouth...

Goetz and Williams likely a year away but the others will all get a chance.

Great post mate. Are you sure this wasn't Goetz and Lynch? All the training reports seem to say that Williams is going really well, Lynch is pretty undersized and Beveridge said that we wouldn't be upgrading a rookie for Crameri because Goetz and Lynch aren't ready yet.

My guess at the core 12-15:
Suckling, Murphy, Wallis, Bont, Boyd, Dahlhaus, Hunter, Stringer, Wood, Macrae, Libba, Dickson, Morris, JJ, Picken.

I was surprised how even they see the list. Can only be a good thing. I'm pretty sure it was Williams he said was speccy.

Saw Collins for the first time in the pound today. Just thrilled he is on our list at the pick we had.

 

[Deadly Darcy]

Hahahaha. Exact words - all three in the same mix rotating through the middle.
