Mega Thread 2015 Pre-Season Training Reports #ffcpreseason

[johnthegardener]

I am thinking of going down tomorrow to watch the boys. Does anyone have any definite news as to whether training is on or off?

FFC must read BF

Shite....so not only Hackdorn uses BF as his scoop source

Magilla Gorilla? You had me thinking Robbie Haddrill was making a comeback or something

Yea the power of social media, they can go get a vanilla slice and a sausage roll and go feed the seagulls down at one of the moles.
And then make some bullshit up from other sources.

I'm going to go anyway and have a look John.

 

[jmadrox]

Is anybody else concerned by that, considering Sumich's leading patterns allowed for a wild left foot hook finish?

didnt say anything about Suma's leading patterns. Just they are watching footage with Suma and working on leading patterns

Took one of my grandson's down this morning at 8.30 but no training. Very disappointing as no information on the club website,

Starts at 9 I thought...

Or were you actually told there's no training?

Total fire ban today.
All those players TTHD might set the place on fire.

I made the comment a week or so ago that it was a real bonus having Ibbo back fit. I don't think we've had our best backline all in one place for quite a long time. I consider this (McPh, Daws, MJ, Ibbo, Duff, Sutty, Spurr) very tough to score against.

I mentioned in my report yesterday that Silvagni looks in ripping nick which is also a bonus. I don't have him in my first 3 tall defenders picked but he's definitely first reserve and should play plenty of footy this year.

It would be a real bonus if we could have all our key backs available for the majority of 2015 rather than missing a few of them most weeks as you pointed out had been the case in 2014.

However there seems to be good chemistry in the backline regardless of who plays and who is missing most games and I am confident it will continue to be a strength of the team regardless of the personnel playing down back week in and week out. Credit to RTB for having such a well drilled group of players who can get the job done with a minimum of fuss.

We will need to be transitioning towards Maca, Duffman and Jono all leaving in the next year or two. Silvagni, A.Pearce and probably a small defender (one of the new recruits?)will need to step in rather quickly.

There was none. I got there about 9:15 and nobody was there.

No training at Freo today. No notification of such. Just another little example of the club's disrespect for members and supporters.

Geez relax, that's a bit dramatic.

 

[UFO Tatsu]

Geez relax, that's a bit dramatic.

I actually took that as sarcasm. Well I thought it was in a sarcastic tone.

 

[Harry Reems]

I also went down there today only to leave with blue balls. I see Pav is at the cricket.

 

[Righteo]

I would hope so, Freo is probably the most accessible club for fans in terms of training watching. Not like it's an obligation on their part either, it's very much a privilege.

Inb4 'kool aid'.

My apologies if it was merely sarcasm. You just never know on here.

Don't apologize yet. I could be wrong and they were serious

 

[Steinfreo]

Pretty sure sarcasm considering seatgate.

Really? They should have to tell you when they're planning to train or not? Get your hand off it.

 

[Taylor]

Or on it, then you can just ask him if training is on today.

 

[jedi mind tricks]

Bloody Steves!!!

Wouldn't happen under Schwabally.

Training Report today. A friend of a friends dog told me that the aussie one day team was training at murdoch university today.
I had to do a bit of work so I was late, however I can report :
Smith looks even younger in real life.
Warner is really short.
Cummings and johnston both scary even at three quarter pace.
And Mitch marsh a very nice friendly young man.
Also they have more security than players. ( well almost).
