Training 2017 Preseason Thread

[Lore]

Seems like the whole midfield group is training to go forward. Seems to be more attack oriented game plan this year (finally?)

My summary from this:

Heppel doesn't have a bad hair day,
Watson looks firkin good forward,
Goddard is ball watching too much-looks like a long year in the reserves for him unless he addresses this issue,
Howlett touched the ball too much, cause he is only playing resies this year,
I like the 'man bun' long is sporting at the moment, he will play many AFL games with that look, bookmark it (I remember the Stynberg experiment yes but I still think this irrelevant in regards to Jake)
I like CMcKenna alot, and its not because of his bad english
If Gleeson takes a mark and plays on immediately again to get tackled I will spew (I expect this to occur alot this year btw)
and the umpiring was shit...who the heck was it...sack him now

I hope the team dosent always play on. The last time we played like this was under Knights and all it did was expose us the other way for an easy goal.

Howlett touched the ball too much, cause he is only playing resies this year,

What an absurd comment.

"How dare Howlett impress in training, I only have him playing 2's."

I think your sarcasm meter might need some maintenance.

 

[eth-dog]

This is way off.
I was there and It was clear all the players were instructed to play on immediately after taking possession as much as possible, Gleeson's intercept marking was terrific and he was merely following instruction - best to make errors at training rather than against Hawthorn.
You're kidding yourself calling a 13 year veteran a ball watcher.. Guys like Goddard and Kelly bossed the training session (especially second half) and the difference in their skill levels at training is stark especially when there are VFL players involved like there were on Sat.
Personally, with less responsibility i think our veterans will flourish this year as none of their AFL attributes are based on athleticism but rather game nous and skill execution..

He was making a parody of training methinks.

Looks great. Not sure how he made it into the 30's on draft night.

Langford

Langford is looking real good!

It's was quite comical the way he latched onto Gleeson. Poor Marty is getting there but he probably still got another two years of physical development left in him (at least).

Training at 9.45am tomorrow

"How dare Howlett impress in training, I only have him playing 2's."

I can't argue with that and of course it was an absurd comment. And unfortunately during the year I will make plenty more.

Benny is of course an AFL proven player and I hope plays alot of games this year. I have him ahead of many other players. However from memory
Benny was like Ryder in that he played well in the first and last qtr's, but vanished in the middle two.

But back to the pre-season and there is only one player I am interested in now and thats Longy and his "beehive". There is a proven link between Brownlow votes and getting the hairpiece right. He could be a smokey for it this year. Yep yep I know absurd comment.

 

[Shane Hird]

I know it's a bit early..but I'm flying over for round one and wanna catch a training session at tulla.

Playing on the Saturday night would they most likely have a full training run on the Thursday before?

Ben Howlett kicks goals.
Don't underestimate him!
But, we've got a few smaller forwards who can do this.
Very excited!
