Training 2019 Training - pics, reports etc

[cookie monster]

400 reports for those interested:

Eddie overall the most consistent and I’d say still has the title.

CC second

Cottrell third

Walsh fourth

LOB 5th

SOS 6th

SPS 7th

I really like that SOS and SPS are listed here. 2 players that specifically needed to address their fitness. Tells you a lot really

 

[katmanblue]

Thats a real pity. i think he would have made a big difference to our forward structure. Smart creative. Oh well he will be back by rnd 5-6 perhaps

Not that smart if he gets in situations like this.

I was pretty impressed with JSOS' running today. Something I've never said before.

So the redhead in the 400s was Cottrell? Thought it might have been Finbar. Either way, good effort.

First look at training this year. Also noticed JSOS running well finishing around 4th and 5th. Walsh getting a big cheer winning on one occasion.

Charlie definitely won a 400's and easily crowd got right behind him. Weitering appreared to have bulked up really well. Cunners running laps all morning. JSOS looks to have trimmed down and playing as a lead up forward in simulation. Cripps didnt miss a target all morning looked sharp. Just some observations....

How's Garlett looking?

Gartlett was doing 200's with LeBois, towling him up. Coaches were happy with times, Russell was watching relatively closely. Cunners running laps, solid boy, has the physical attributes, gotta learn how to use it now.

Here's a short summary/observation of today's session. I understand there has been a few of these so feel free to skip over anything that's been said before. Keep in mind there's a lot going on so it's impossible to monitor everything. Also remember that players are at various fitness levels due to injuries/individualised programs which may reflect training intensity/performance.

Training:

- Stoppages at different areas of the ground
- Moving the ball from FB to FF along the wing
- Full ground match simulation (full contact)
- 400m sprints
- 100m sprints
- Half ground match simulation (full contact)
- Tackling
- Contested marking in F50 + roving

Players:

Jack Silvagni - Trained exclusively with the '1st' midfield group. Looked strong in the contest and performed well in the 400m sprints.

Paddy Dow - Went about his business, but looked a little sluggish (likely due to limited training before christmas).

Marc Murphy - Professional. Veteran. Super fit.

Lochie O'Brien - Has put on size and grown in confidence. Dominated in the match simulation. I expect him to breakout before Dow.

SPS - Performed well in the 400m sprints and was super clean in match simulation. Sublime in traffic. In for a huge year.

Kade Simpson - Professional. Veteran. Super fit.

Matthew Kennedy - Was matched up on Setterfield during match simulation and looked great. Has a unique running style which makes him seem slower than he is. Kicking was a little shaky.

Patrick Cripps - Nothing to say

Harry McKay - Destroyed Casboult in all drills. Still one or two pre-seasons away from fully growing into his frame. Scary prospect.

Mitch McGovern - Completed 90% of training and participated in full contact match simulation. Looked great moving across the ground, but is still a fair way behind with his fitness. Came dead last in the 400m sprints, but this will be rectified in a month or so. Will play round one.

Tom De Koning - Competed well, but still a couple of years away.

Liam Stocker - Looked great in stoppage drills. Sat mid-tier in the 400s. Trained with the '2nd' midfield group.

Liam Jones - Ran laps while his hand recovers, but looked in great shape.

Darcy Lang - Ran laps

Sam Walsh - Looked super. Sat on the outside of the contest during match simulation. Finished top 5 in all 400s. Will play round one on the wing.

Angus Schumacher - Trained hard, but struggled to get near it during match simulation. Still a fair way off IMO.

Lachie Plowman - Completed 90% of training. Sat out the 400s. Looked in 2nd best shape behind Cripps.

Jarrod Garlett - Didn't see much of him. He completed 200m sprints with LeBois towards the end of training.

Caleb Marchbank - In the rehab group with Williamson. Wasn't running laps. Highly doubt he'll be ready for round one.

Jacob Weitering - Intercepted beautifully during match simulation. Looked stronger than last year.

Nic Newman - Doesn't stand out, but he doesn't need to. Looking likely to play round one.

Zac Fisher - Gun. Faked Cripps out with a beautiful side step which all the boys got around.

Harrison Macreadie - Ran laps

Matthew Lobbe - Competed well against Phillips. Not sure who plays if Kreuzer misses.

David Cunningham - Ran laps. Looked frustrated.

Cameron Polson - Continually made the wrong decision at stoppages, but looked great roving at the feet of McKay during the contested marking drills. Likely to play round one as the pressure forward. Slightly ahead of Garlett IMO.

Charlie Curnow - Star. Came 3rd in the 400s behind Ed and Cottrell.

Tom Williamson - In the rehab group with Marchbank. Wasn't running laps. Highly doubt he'll be ready for round one.

Andrew Phillips - Competed well against Lobbe.

Ed Curnow - King of the 400s

Pat Kerr - Looked good in defence matched up against Charlie. Sneaky chance of playing round one if Marchbank/Jones don't get up.

Ben Silvagni - Long-term prospect. Natural footballer with long arms.

Finbar O'Dwyer - Very raw, but looked good matched up against Ben Silvagni.

Dale Thomas - Professional. Veteran. Daisy will almost certainly play round one.

Levi Casboult - Worked hard against Mckay, but was a class below.

Will Setterfield - Glides across the ground. Huge frame for a midfielder. Completed 95% of training included full contact match simulation. Performed well in the 400s. Will play round one.

Michael Gibbons - Looked good on both sides of the body. Very short, but goes in hard. I expect he will be signed, with a slim chance of playing round one as a small forward. Was practicing goal kicking by himself at the end of training.

Matt Cottrell - Super athlete. Pushed Ed in the 400s. Didn't get near the ball during match simulation.

Michael Owies - So far behind everyone else it's not funny.

Kym Lebois - See Owies

Tomas Bugg - Didn't see him

Hugh Goddard - Trained well. A nice signing given our injury prone defence. Looked more agile than Rowe was.


Kreuzer, Docherty, Fasolo, and Pickett were not at training.

Cheers!

Excellent write up and cheers for that.

Liam Stocker - Looked great in stoppage drills. Sat mid-tier in the 400s. Trained with the '2nd' midfield group.

Thanks for the report! Just regarding Stocker, when you say mid-tier of the 400s, did that include the whole list (i.e. the talls) or was he mid-tier of the midfield group?

Encouraging to see how much progress he has made with his endurance in a short amount of time.

 

[windows1]

It’s high time we gave a huge standing ovation to Jack Silvagni. The guy couldn’t run out of sight on a dark night a year ago. He’s clearly worked his butt off. He deserves a spot in round 1. Either pressure half forward or Marchy’s spot in the backline if he doesn’t come up.

Well done son.

Great thanks Haydoss thanks

Whole list did the 400s together. Tbh apart from those called out in my post earlier they basically finished as a bunch.

The second part of that tweet sounds a bit ominous...

Well done son.

He is working very hard and has those sticky hands where he throws his arms back and marks the ball behind his head, r to the side of his body.
Gives him a lot more space/area to take his marks in.

 

[thylacine60]

Yep - he got smashed into the ground by Kennedy and was up straight away.

appreciate the info, haydes, and I know he is coming back from his knee but how bad have things got that we comment on - even celebrate - a player surviving a training tackle intact? we used to win back-to-back flags - now we are left hoping a bloke can front up to back-to-back training sessions..........

 

[thylacine60]

400 reports for those interested:

Eddie overall the most consistent and I’d say still has the title.

CC second

Cottrell third

Walsh fourth

LOB 5th

SOS 6th

SPS 7th

that's shit I can understand

 

[sosos]

Missed the start.

Saw a 400m with the whole group at good pace around the oval. Ed followed by Charlie followed by Jack Sosos. McGovern in the main group bringing up the rear with de K.

Saw a nice drill with the players doing multiple short kicks to a leading player then either a longer kick to a leading player or short handball to a player running past for a kick at goal. Seems sharp and I like the constant motion. I thought they should put a bit more pressure on to simulate match conditions but I guess they're putting the game plan in their heads.

Next they broke into two groups and played two lots of 6 a side handball through congestion. Again, was pretty sharp and it was good to see some heavy pressure on the ball carrier that broke up the forward movement of the ball.

Then came the full ground match sim.

The other thing was they punctuated the activities with 400m sprints. Punishing and some of the players looking spent. Saw one where Walsh worked to the front, was challenged by Charlie then broke away to finish first. Crowd applauded!

 

[Neese]

Thanks for the reports people. I feel involved in our club when I read them.

 

[thylacine60]

I sit admonished and will surreptitiously close my copy of Mathematica down delete my half composed set of algorithms I was going to post for S**** and giggles and retreat gracefully back into a summer slumber ignoring the fact that this pre-season is an absolute Cluster ****.

wtf have you done with windy?

Yes. You sort of look forward to the end of weekdays, just to not hear of someone else going down with an injury.
Weekends keep us safe though.....Hang on....Oh yeah......Fasolo.

Don't care what we hear or don't hear, but Williamson and Macreadie look to be some way away from a possible round 1 start.
