2019 Training Reports

[tonygeeks]

What crap... Did you not read the bit about the 1v1 targets. Surely that is why we have recruited guys like Lobb and Hogan who are decent 1v1 targets...

Well I thought Wilkie played pretty well ...... so what exactly are you trying to say

Matera kicked 2 out of his arse and saved the day while our forward line looked generally abysmal and Hogan and Lobb didn't do anything up forward

But you are obviously spot on with your spot on assessment of everything

And it was just a pisstake anyway I'd better leave the analysis to you in the future

Sorry about that

It's good to see them training at night before a night match.

I'm sure that it can only be a good thing to train in roughly the conditions of the match.

Always thought this was a problem with our training schedule. Only training in the morning.

 

[Halfbaked]

Hi, anyone know if they are training today.

 

[Joao]

Hi, anyone know if they are training today.

Would be Tuesday and Thursday this week. We play Saturday.

 

[Halfbaked]

Thanks, about pass the oval with a spare hour.

 

[DMan 11]

Thanks, about pass the oval with a spare hour.

Which should have left 10 mins for a report to be posted.....
Tsk tsk

Hughes looks like he's been reading BigFooty.

[Scham]

The spot weld is quite significant these days.

 

[PurpleReign]

Most amazing kick of the footy I’ve ever seen,he’s got it going 3 different directions all at one time. Not even Delicious Rioli would attempt this kick. Time for a move to the forward line me thinks.

Where's one of Tabs? Get of photo of him kicking and show him he needs to change his ball drop to correct those easy misses.

Also show him which side of the ball he needs to kick to get it to screw the right way. The opposite side to the way you want it to go Matthew!

Following the session, there will be the chance to get signatures from some of your favourite players.
To make the most of the school holidays, Freo is going all out with face painting, bubble blowing, stilt walkers, inflatable obstacle course and much more!
It will be a great day out for the whole family to enjoy and best of all, it’s free!
Victor George Kailis Oval is located at Cockburn ARC, 31 Veterans Parade, Cockburn Central. The action kicks off at 10am and will run through the morning.

Made it down for my first session of the year. If anything of note happens I’ll let you all know. Great turn out for the fan day though! Lots of kids around which is great to see

 

[serial_thrilla]

Blakely will be the one to watch this week. Surely he gets a run with Peel first?

As Ross would say: "something about fancy horses and crappy racetracks".

If he is fit, get him in. Him rusty is still a better player than Duman or Nyhuis.

Not as a shut down defender

 

[Joao]

Not as a shut down defender

Clearly not playing the same role (well maybe similar to Duman) but you shuffle the players around as required to get him in.

Straight swap with Duman. Half back for a bit and when he's fully fit then midfield minutes

Was a warm one down at training today, but the boys seemed in great spirits, didn't seem to be too serious out there and I think the main takeaway at the end of it is that Hogan is absolutely loved by everyone, every fan there was scrambling for a photo and an autograph and he looked like he was having a great time. Had a few chats with a couple of the lads and it seems that Logue is definitely back this week for Peel, which he's stoked about, and Blakely is also definitely back but he was more coy about whether he'd be playing for Peel or not, so definitely watch that space. Few points I noted while not being overly serious about watching the training was Andy was having serious chats with Ross about something away from the main group, not sure what that would've been about but they seemed to be having a pretty in depth talk about something. Connor's clearance work in a few drills was top class, getting the ball inside and breaking away to deliver some really well weighted passes, which has been a downside of his game in past. Logue was also in that same drill, and was swinging long 20 meter handballs out wide to runners like Duman, who'd then deliver inside 50. We seemed to be keeping the eyes down and hitting Hogan on the lead from 30-40 out, but hitting the top of the square for people like Lobb and Jones. Not sure if that's been a directive but that seemed to be the trend of the day.
Something else people are probably happy to hear is Tabs spent most of the day taking pot shots at goal (wasn't massively successful though I might add).
Unfortunately the rehab group were a fair distance from where I was so I couldn't really make out what they were doing, and Harley and Kersten were both on the far side of the oval doing light run throughs and looking pretty worse for wear from what I could see.
Overall though it was a great day, me and my Mum got down to have a squizz and the mood was really upbeat, and some of those lads will have sore wrists for weeks from the amount of autographs they were dishing out, but always doing it with a smile and laugh with the kids which was great.

Thanks for the update, did have a little laugh at Tabs, I honestly dont see it changing, its an almost completely mental thing. I reckon it will be almost pot luck if he turns his goal kicking around
