Training 2026 Training Reports

[Dirty_banchez]

Hardly influential. Bobbed up for a few moments. Pearce then Draper did well on him

Pearce is a terrible match up for Treacy.

 

[bigfoopy]

I try not to get too caught up on intra clubs but this might be our best draft crop within the last 5 years

 

[largebus]

Cheers FreoRicci and Braddles for the updates. I'll take that Reid is winning the Brownlow at a canter this year

 

[dexter_]

The West says Reid had 31 touches and 3 goal assists

 

[Piggy Smalls]

Reid best on playing pure mid?

Hook that shit into my veins please

 

[Minz]

Reid best on playing pure mid?

Hook that shit into my veins please

I feel like 25 touches a game from Reid would be a Good Thing

 

[Piggy Smalls]

I feel like 25 touches a game from Reid would be a Good Thing

He'd be averaging 5 goals and 20 score involvements

 

[Mesc]

Any casulties today guys?

 

[FreoRicci]

Quite hard to report to be honest. Was a solid full intraclub match with hardly many stand outs. Players did what they had to do.

Wish the club would’ve released names and numbers as it was quite difficult to tell the difference between some players- same haircut, same builds etc.

Young, Reid and Johnson got well beaten early v Brayshaw NOD Sharp Erasmus.
Whites kicked the first 5 goals. Purples played catch up after that.

Dudley bobbed up for two goals and didn’t touch the ball again afterwards- I’m sure he did, but he was definitely quiet. He’s not a lock based off that performance. Needs to be more involved in the chain.

Murray was busy and got involved in scoring chains. Be interesting to see where he stacks up in the 22.

Scerii deserves a spot. He should push for a 22 inclusion if he can get his hands on it more and be damaging. Can see him playing for Peel and pushing for a spot if Dudley and Murray don’t perform.

McVee is a welcome elite addition. He changes the dynamic of the team. Him and Clark will want the ball and move quickly.

Wagner is such a confident, consistent AFL player. Moves and makes great decisions inside. Him and Switkowski were really missed in the finals.

Treacy wasn’t really good. He looked pissed off at the end of the game. Very hard on himself.

Amiss was busy with 3 goals. He’s leading and wants more on the wing. Watch him turn and go to burn his opponent this season. Less scrap and more run.

Voss kicked 2 goals and nothing else. Tackled Murphy bloody hard and thought was way too much for an intraclub.

is a stand out however doesn’t mark frequently and not really getting much of the ball.

Draper will be unfair to not get selected in the 22. He didn’t put a foot wrong on Treacy. He looks beefier and mature.

The wing spot is a concern.

Sharp really REALLY does not like his left foot. He will go onto to his left side on the wing, then turns INSIDE and looks for a cheap right foot or right handball out. Inexcusable IMO. In the same vein, Erasmus is confident to put lace out kicks on his left 3 times in 10 minutes doing down the left wing. That sort of skill gets players into the 22 IMO.

NOD isn’t a wing and played predominantly inside.

Whan was serviceable on the wing, didn’t do a whole lot but he can only build his tank.

Carr was quiet. Feel like he can be a unicorn for his height but doesn’t stand out.

Simpson, Banfield, Nicholls, Sturt were in the stands.

Lastly, Reid is just a natural footballer. Finds space, time and is 2 steps ahead of everyone else. He ll play high half forward coming inside with Bolton I’d imagine. Adds such a unpredictability.

Chapman, Ryan, Cox, Worner all solid without really doing anything more than 2nd gear.

Was a beautiful day for it. Great turn out and players very vocal and pushing each other. Sense something with this group. Just quietly hoping.

That’s a really comprehensive report, Ricci. You have addressed much of the pertinent on-field intrigue regarding Freo in 26. Thanks very much for the effort.

Cheers, Knees. Really appreciate that.

Just want to match the usual pre season reporters’ incredible efforts.

Hope JL is ready to push this list forward. So many options and match ups to choose from.

 

[FreoRicci]

Any casulties today guys?

None.
Pearce went into sprinting and running laps as soon as half time.
He looks big and lean. Walking around after the game with his guernsey off

 

[FreoRicci]

Game over - whites win by 6.

Player questions? Fire away!

Who the hell were some of the numbers today.

Did you pick up the players?

 

[mattis117]

I reckon we'll just jam our best back up mids into the wing spots, so we'll see Wagner, Erasmus, Johnson, JOM doing most of the wing roles. Would be great to see Whan really make that his position.

Wonder if Simpson could be a wild card for that role.

I think Ras is locking in the pure inside role we were hoping Fyfe would play last year. Would be disappointed if he ends up on a wing.

Agree. Exactly what you want. Mostly positive but point out a few players weaknesses and gives us a good idea who is pushing to play week one.

We really need Dudley or Murray to take a big step up. Disappointed none of the wings stepped up. Hopefully someone like Chapman is tried there. If none work we should target a player from another club to fill this need.

 

[mayne iac]

Reid just incredible, he will be every bit as good as Nick Daicos I have no doubt
I like Ras but he made alot of skill errors today, made up for it by marking a ball in the last couple of seconds which saved a certain shot on goal to Treacy
Scerri and Murray are footballers, Scerri has Switta vibes
Judd is silky smooth, doesn't make many mistakes
Wagner out last year cost us big time, BIG TIME
Johnson is a thug, took out Worner (I think ) then smashed him into the ground as he got up, the thing you do to opposition players, not in an intraclub.
Worner is very solid
Ollie Murphy - I think will make it.
Young needs to stay fit, his left foot blah blah blah, what a player!
Sweid in tight is very sharp/ fast twitch
Backs were all very solid although there was still alot of sideways going on, I would have thought that after our last 2 minutes of our last game v Gold coast we would not going to that on the regular, something needs to change. Judd coming in should help, very direct.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

It's going to be a tough call because the midfield needs that support guy to round out the group but Reid sounds like he's making a spot his own so you have all of Jackson, Brayshaw, Serong, Young, Reid and Bolton going through there. Is there room for Ras to have a pure onball role with all of those names going through there?

If he’s good enough!

 

[GingerDocker]

Any thoughts on the fact we still seem to be adopting a risk-free conservative approach to bringing the ball out of our back half?

I don't want to make too much of it but I'll be hoping to see a bit more pace on the ball when transitioning forward.

Sort of hard to know until we see the a team play together, not just for the rebounders but what is happening up the ground making options.

Tbh I don’t think we should go fast or slow by default, more that we try to create fast play and if it isn’t on then don’t make dumb turnovers.

 

[fnerd]

Every time I see that McVee picture I'm bemused how someone could have done multiple AFL preseasons and still have arm that look like that.

They could have at least got him in the gym beforehand to try get some kind of pump going.

Yeah righto gym bro ……

 

[Taylor]

I don't want to make too much of it but I'll be hoping to see a bit more pace on the ball when transitioning forward.

With our talent spread across two sides we would be fielding quite a number of players who aren't up to it, and if we want to practice a game punishing turnovers then it would be fine to play fast and hope the talent rises to the top - but I suspect it would be how we play if we have to field a third of the WAFL side at AFL level.

That's also without two of our better marking targets middle of the ground.

I would hope that bundling all of Wagner, McVee, Clark and Walker into one side would create a rebounding side.

 

[fnerd]

Erasmus is honestly next level. Big, strong, hardly falls over

……..oh and don’t worry haters…. I haven’t forgotten ya all …. and you will be reminded in Due course
