Training 2019 Pre-Season

[Passmore]

I was planning to try, if it was at 4... but if the trucks already there I am thinking they might have brought it forward to 11 or something

People started getting wind if the match time. Only makes sense to keep moving it.

The game will probably end up bring played in Boomer's backyard at 3am tomorrow morning.

I was kinda hoping you could have snuck in to watch it mate.

I'd hoped he snuck in last night and camped out there.

Get a drone over the ground.

Some interesting data on 2018 centre bounce structures, with a view to the incoming 6-6-6 rule:

I’d be interested to know what other formation we used apart from those listed.

Also, Adelaide and Richmond may struggle the most with the rule changes during centre square set ups. They’ll need to make some major changes to their game plan without the ability to have extra numbers coming off the back of the square.

As well, Richmond have been highly successful at repeat forward 50 entries through forward pressure. With the new kick in rule, it may blunt their effectiveness there too.

Pretty sure I saw us implement a 4 man fwd set up more than once last year.

We push more numbers into the middle, ie 6-7-5 etc

They appear to be more interested in flogging AFLX tickets to us mate (club email)

Haha I have received these from North, Collingwood, the AFL, AFL Victoria, AFL Community Development, and AFL Membership. I'm waiting until they are offering to pay me to go and THE ANSWER WILL STILL BE NO.

3 sometimes, with 4 wings.

So Timmy is keen to a chopper to cover a North v Geelong praccy, but asking questions about the drug cheating program instigated by the bloke he helped bring to his club where his son was captain, naaaaaaaaah.

 

[speedy]

So the practise match v the cats is already under way. North media aren't even tweeting scores????

I expect all players will receive participation ribbons post game, in line with today's PC guidelines, and the score will be deemed moot.

Fair enough. Can’t blame them for wanting to catch an early look at this year’s Grand Final winner running out against Geelong. Glimpse of the future and all that.

Genuinely, unequivocally 100% agree. It would be interesting to do a sweep to understand how many free beers or widgets would need to be offered in order to get people to make the trip versus distance of the ground from your home / work.

16 other clubs will be eagerly trying to pick apart the brothers' secret of not making grand finals for the last 7 years despite one of them basically boasting the entire AA midfield.

'Claytons' reporting on a 'Claytons' secret match. But it's off season and we'll take anything we can get... clearly.

 

[speedy]

Is the nmfc website even going to acknowledge that there was a practise match today? I find it all very bizarre. I blame Chris.

 

[the big lebowski]

Good to see Wood playing in that footage

 

[the big lebowski]

Whoops or was that a secret?

Expect the Philly treatment mate.

 

[Heaps of fun]

I hope there is at least a write-up on some individual appointments.

 

[SMaturin]

Footage has emerged...

 

[Hearts to hearts]

That footage is hilarious. Visions of camera operator actually being directed to film the sign that says "keep out!", then to squeeze himself up to the wire fence to get fuzzy shots between hoardings of grass with occasional fleeting sight of humans walking past.
