While it was meant to be 25 today, earlier this morning sure felt like 30.

Getting off the train, I bumped into barrackers, it was nice to chat, and we walked over toward training.

What was I was originally told about it starting at 8am, was actually a mistake and it was actually 9am. So we had a little bit to wait. Better settle in, I thought -- this is gonna be a very long session; and indeed I was quite right. More about that later.


Two groups on the track at once - 2 hrs session.
First group consisted of: Quaynor, Noble, Mayne, Maynard, Roughy, Murphy
Second group: Kelly, De Goey, WHE, Mihochek, Adams, Sier, Thomas

Third group: Pendles, Lynch, Cox, Elliott, Bianco, Wilson, Tohil,
4th group: Crisp, McMahon, Macrae, Poulter, Ginnivan, Chugg, Henry, Jack Briskey (Lions Academy)

Last/Modified group: Rantall, Cal Brown, Tyler Brown, Daicos, Moore, Howe, Cameron, Greenwood, McCreery​

Sidebottom and Grundy had other commitments. I wonder whether its' promo stuff for Nike.
Reef wasn't in attendance, but think I may have seen him later on by the doors. Might be more of a managed thing given his history with his back.

Bucks mainly looked on for most of the session before he went inside, and left the other coaches to take care of the session. Selwood was working with the drasftees group, and other coaches split amongst the rest.

In each group (apart from the final modifield group) they did a shuttle run, which I think is this years version of a timed trial, except more bursts game-like, up and back, rather than the usual run around the track type of trial. They also did this prior to christmas. I'm unsure whether they are actually going to do a proper time trial or just leave it at this.

  • After the shuttle run was completed, each group then would do a bunch of different drills amongst themselves plus a coach. These drills would contain: Handball/keeping offs
  • ground ball drills
  • goal kicking (more the later groups, rather than the earlier ones)
  • F50 entries
  • Kick and mark
  • then in the last group the boys did pick up the ball, tackle, handball recieve and run.
  • All group also did sprinting.

Kelly, Crisp, Quaynor, and Lynch won their respected shuttle runs (the latter very very comfortably)




Player observation:
Rantall - He is looking better and better every time I see him. Put on a bit of size compared to last year, plus the way he goes about the footy; He'll definitely be pushing for round 1 at this rate.

De Goey - What a machine. He is even bigger than last year. All this personal training/gym work in the last few months since the end of the season seems to be paying off. He runs faster, tackles harder, looks like he is finally ready to explode.

Cal/Tyler Brown - Both look to have put on some size, and are now really coming into their bodies.

Daicos - Looks like have put on more size, Looking toned and raring for a huge season I imagine.

Pendles, not missing a beat. Doesn't appear to be slowing down anytime soon. As fit as anyone out there.



Wilson - Has some kind of upper body. Finally has a footballers body. Now its time to break into the squad.

Adams - Bull. Tay does Tay things.

Lynch, has always been athletic. Not the first time he has come in the top 5 in previous time trials, but he smashed the shuttle run.. by at least.. 20-30 metres off the next person (Bianco/Wilson)

Macrae, boy is looking good. Moving well in drills. Definitely one of the standouts.

Kelly, one of the standouts. Such athleticism for someone his height, and even after all they were put through, it was like nothing to him. Fitness he isn't lacking, that's for sure.
If I had to guess, lock him in for round 1.


Poor Chugg. You can tell this is his first real pre-season when you throw up after being put through your paces in the sprinting in the heat.



















Remember when I said it was gonna be a long session? 5 hrs and a half long..

5 hrs later...

Any news on my boy Poulter??

Thanks for the report Jen!

He had a good session. You can tell right away where he is.. not many have his hair, even though he was wearing a cap. But he looked ptetty good. I'm looking forward to seeing how he goes when they begin match sim.
 
Based on what we saw today
DeGoey, I.Q., Sier and Kelly all looking V. fit and ready to take the next step. Also good to see Crisp training with and continuously encouraging the new boys.
Rantall, Bianco look ready and Macrae looks best of the recruits.
All the new boys look like they belong, but fitness and muscle (or lack of) will be an issue, Poulter looks ok but is still skinny.
Shame Reef wasn't out there as he is probably next in line behind Macrae and he needs the extra fitness.
Keane is still in quarantine but will be out in the next few days.
Lynch, is very fit but, barring injuries, it's hard to see him getting a game, so what about trying him (and/or possibly Cameron) as a back up KPD?? Just a thought.

I know they did not have to be back but with so many newcomers it would have been good for them to get to know them, especially if Moore wants to be a leader. Crisp was setting a great example housing Poulter and Grundy has been doing his bit as a leader housing Truscoe last year and returning before Christmas and working hard.

Part of preparing for the season is being mentally rested and refreshed. Swan was never ready physically, and in fact had to do mini preseasons mid season to be cherry ripe for finals. But you can’t argue with output and impact.

I would agree if you were talking about Degoey needing to come back early, everybody else I’m fine with.

Wow, terrific report. Looks like you put as much time into that as the duration of the training session. Was good to meet you.
