Training Axeman’s training reports and discussion thread

[Bugs1977]

He is quite quick RR, and evasive but he is very slight and would get killed if got hit hard by a big guy. I reckon a year in the gym and the VFL system will do him wonders.

I think the first to debut this season will be Moore. He’ll be able to hold his own in a forward pocket and even though he’s slight too I think will be okay.

Birch was doing some good intensive running.

Amazing recovery from his certain death only a few weeks back.

Sounds a bit like Hilly in his first year

It is, isn't it?

Must be on the * gear.

Yes, Moore is a likely debutant i would think. Minchington would be hot on his heels and may even be ahead if we need a hardened body with AFL experience.

Hey AxeMan, thanks as always for the reports. Greatly appreciated.

I don’t want to derail the thread (further), but any sign of TOB?

Yes. I can safely say that he was okay today (playing in defence), but he is very inconspicuous. You just feel like you want him to do something that makes you sit up and take notice, and elevates himself above 'almost' and 'so close'.

I'm still staggered we got him with pick 45 given his captaincy of Falcons & Vic Country.

An absolute blunder by Geelong, for any chess players out there. That encounter with Selwood, for all of Australia to see, will be one of many. Worpel will drive a stake in geelongs heart for years to come

Birch has been doing plenty of intensive running in straight lines over the past 2 years.

Can his knee hold up to high intensive match conditions is the question?

Didn't someone on here say that Geelong have already asked some serious questions as to his willingness to want to play for the team that he supported as a kid?
Hope like crazy that we win this kid over heart and soul.

That was just paranoid talk, he said pre draft that he always wanted to play againist Selwood ect not with, the kid loves a challenge.

I need an alert that goes off when Axe posts a training report. Or maybe an alarm in my house/workplace.

I could have read this yesterday. I feel cheated

 

[threesixpio]

I get the feeling that Chad will make me lose my s**t (in a good way) every now and then. It’s great having the workhorses but having the glitz and glamour of a player like him or Rioli makes footy a great spectacle. Pumpedaz

This gets kids in too. It’s a good membership play.

Droids don't have feelings, they are biological not mechanical.
Take a shot of wd40 and chill.

Thanks Axeman. Am hoping he might be another Brad Hill who can step up despite being very slight.

 

[HomerJayS]

Based on comments here looks like we’d have to take Reeves otherwise he’ll surely be lost in the next draft.

Training is just that training. Lets just wait and see what we dish out in the pre season comps. Plenty to get excited about but lower your expectations especially from some of the kids who havent played AFL yet

As Mike Tyson once said “everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face”.

We’ll know soon where this team is at.

That should read… “everyone has a plan until they get punched in the faith”

It was a tongue in cheek comment - but okay
