I have zero idea why Jones is getting games ahead of him. Meek is ahead of Jones in every facet.Big Lloyd Meek doing some extra kicking and marking practice on his own this morning - I think he is keen to get a run this weekend!

Yep. Tomorrow from just before 9.Anyone know whether they’ll train tomorrow? Rare day off work and wanted to catch a look.

I expect a detailed summary, Mr Whitelaw.
Was super excited to attend my first session at Cockburn and write my first report but sadly my baby daughter had other ideas and kept me up all night, ruling me out of training duties.

I am writing my first training report!
All players were in the rehab group with one injury or another so the only training with a ball was between Mzungu and Rock who were playing kick to kick while Hale was trying to take hangers off Rock's back.
At risk of moving into the Lyon hater group, this genuinely amazes and confuses me. I know he said after the game we went long too much but after years of doing that exact same thing and the way the players seemed to have it drilled into them that they kick long to the top of the square on every single entry, I am amazed that this is an actual focus of change and not the actual plan.Managed a hour or so. A light session with a total focus on ball movement into the forward line.
We have simultaneously had AFL rule changes which could advantage long bombs into the forward line, plus the recruitment of some key players who could be very effective marking long bombs into the forward line. At the very least it should be part of our 2019 strategy. None of that negates trying to hit a target.Really should just be the memo for the game. At no stage do you go long to the top of the square. Try to hit a target or kick goal regardless of the result.
But I don't think that's what he wants. He wants the forwards to provide more than one option. One of the options will still be long to the square. Unlike previous seasons we have now Lobb and a fit Taberner that should be able to contest that deep if they aren't double or triple teamed - and we should be able to score a lot of goals that way this season. By having one or more lead ups to half forward, it provides other options to kick to as well as drawing defenders away from the deep option - so it's not a massive pack situation every time (like it was in JLT1). It's all easier said than done, the new forward line played together for the first time ever last week, and the mids were young and undermanned and we all know what players do when under the pump - drop it on the boot without a lot of thinking. None of this is new... it probably just needed a refresher session at today's training.Really should just be the memo for the game. At no stage do you go long to the top of the square.

I agree but I think we have mastered the bombing to the top of the square tactic and its a JLT game so there is nothing to lose by trying to focus on something in particular.But I don't think that's what he wants.

Its why cutting out the option to bomb it long would be a good idea IMO, for this game. It forces everyone to think about what they are going to do if they have a chance to, works on the skill and perhaps get them trying things they might not otherwise do.
100% it will take time to gel given all the new players but kicking it to the top of the goal square isnt going to speed it up this process
Not really, we were never better than 9th for marks inside 50.I don't get it.
We used to hit up targets i50 constantly (circa end 2012-2015).
Wtf has happened
