Preview Pre-Season 2015 - Training, Pics etc

[ShanDog]

Hah! First thing I thought. Not as if he wakes up one morning chooses one activity and that's all he does all day.

What???

I need to reevaluate my entire life!

 

[chipzac]

I'm sure the blog doesn't take up 100% of his time and that he still has plenty of opportunity to do some weights. The club probably recognises his need to still feel included and part of the team. He's been in a moon boot for months, it's probably quite isolating.

Probably right, and he could find him himself further isolated if he mentioned the players he thought who were under performing in any way. I would still like to know more about players who were standouts in training, though.

Or just get more things to do throughout the day Shan...

Walk your dog, HBF. He's bored silly sitting around blogging all day.

Also would like tennis ball.

How are Jeffy and Waite going?

There's a gap now where Waite was always doing handball drills in the rehab group.

If you had posted it on instagram or had mentioned it in an interview on SEN, etsal1 would have been all over it.

She is omnipo(s)tent!

E - I mean that as a compliment. Your information collating (aka cyber stalking) is a credit to the board.

How did I miss this all good ferris

 

[Matty411]

Only concern I have with the talk of Watto/Jones is that I cannot see how they both fit in with Rowe/Jamo/White at the back and Hendo and Cas up front. And unless Watto learns to ruck part time and take Cas' position, it might be a 2-horse race with Jones.

Think the pecking order for KPP's at this stage is:

1. Hendo
2. Jamo
3. Rowe
4. Cas
5. White (3rd tall)
6. Jones
7. Watto
8. Jaksch

Im not sure either Matty411 maybe Cas is the one that misses out if we have a ruck combo of Kruezer / Wood.

What about a set up of Henderson, Jones and Watson as the full time forwards with a ruck fwd, Menzel and sml fwd. Seems to tall for my tastes but a possibility.
From my viewing of our players I would say that Henderson is our most agile of those forward so have jones and watson stay at home whilst he roams.

Hawthorn had a forward structure that had Roughhead, franklin, gunston, bruest, rioli and Hale

My natural feeling is that Kreuz will be #1 ruck for 90% and Cas will chop out - think Mick and co. see him as Best 22 over Wood in that role. Hawks did indeed make it work with 3.5 talls in the forward line but when you have guys like Buddy, Roughy and Gunny who are athletic and can all run up the ground... it makes it a lot easier. Not sure Watto and Jones = Roughy and Gunston.

Just cannot see a forward line of 3 x talls + 2nd ruck could work with the cattle we have. Happy, however to be proven wrong.

 

[BluStreak]

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

inevitably one of the above are gonna be injured. when that happens its good to have depth. not to mention competition for spots is perfect to push the likes of casboultx watson and jones along.

really loving what im hearing about jones. could be a mick malthouse special

What sets Levi apart from these guys is his ability to be 2nd ruck (not to mention his ridiculous hands)

 

[Neese]

Rowe goes alright in ruck too if necessary. For a short time in a match

 

[Kramer1]

Reckon Levi remains the third tall. Jones will be the main leading target.

 

[SickQwon]

Henderson > Casboult > Jones

 

[ShanDog]

He does, but if we are only scraping by with our tall defenders, he won't get used much there.

 

[LanceRomance]

Jones, imo, will be 2nd tall.

Levi 3rd/ruck/leigh brown

 

[Kramer1]

Henderson > Casboult > Jones

Not going to work if they are all leading in the same direction.

 

[thylacine60]

Ball not likely to be coming at them in a straight line. More like s**t from a Bengali bum.

 

[chunkylover53]

Henderson > Casboult > Jones

Not the most terrifying Key Forward trio .

Oh well, fingers crossed.

 

[thylacine60]

I want training pics. Give them to me. I want them.

 

[ferrisb]

I want training pics. Give them to me. I want them.

I thought you only perused the board for the articles....?

Also, you'll read training reports with no pics and you'll like it!

 

[thylacine60]

geez.....

 

[King of Ruin]

I'm surprised you have time.
