Training 2018 Pre Season (How many houses will go down?)

[hudson2006]

Rotham could surprise a few. He had an underwhelming first year but a big preseason from him would be very interesting as we could do with a speedy runner with pace pushing up on the wing. I have him as a smokey alongside Watson competing with Nelson and Cole for that 6th/7th defender spot come round one.

Apparently only Venables, Rioli, Waterman, Rotham, Watson and Bayok.

At Lathlain Oval.

On snap chat looked to be about 10 or so players there. Noticed Karpany and Nic nat training too.

Interesting that every player taken in the 13-15 drafts is over in Cambodia except for Karps. I wonder if he asked to stay home so that he could get a head start on preseason? He's in need of a good year if he's to stay on the list for 2019.

Also royal blue training singlets are sexy af.

Good to hear that Willie don’t blow out over the break.

Still behind in the running drills however, but I’ll take that.

It’s going to be a difficult road for him to build up the necessary fitness without risking the hamstring it seems. Patience and balance is going to be the key.

Willie looking trim. Good signs.

I'm backing in Francis Watson to be in our best 22.

plus one

From memory Masten had a poor preseason this year with training watchers saying he was getting baked by the coaching staff. He can run all he likes if his decision making hasn't improved I cant see him coming back.

Is this the end of the 'free pass' WCE? Oh my!!!!

Please go on. Its a boring preseason, admittedly it hasn't really got started but just humor me and tell me why he may surprise? Have you seen his last few games this year or something?

Cheers

Willie Rioli to shred some kg, will then become best small forward in the league!!

Pre draft he was highly rated... Didn't help he was playing as a negating defender most of the time.

Next open training is Monday 27th at Lathlain at 9.30am although the time isn't confirmed on the website

New draftees usually get rolled out at that session

Sucks that it's at lathlain though. South of the river can EAD.

I've absolutely no inside info whatsoever, just filling time. He's a former second round pick with a few attributes that we could do with in terms of height, pace and run - the next Embley, the sort of player we hoped Schofield might become. Of course he's a long shot next year with so much depth at half back but that's the point I guess, any sort of AFL worthy form from him would be a surprise but not altogether out of the question given his attributes.

 

[RookiePick]

I'm going early. Karpany to be delisted at the end of this season /

Rotham filling out in size could still make the grade easily

 

[Shmiddy15]

Rotham filling out in size could still make the grade easily

Yeah was happy to see that as well. Hopefully he's in for a good year.

 

[Keys]

Rotham filling out in size could still make the grade easily

Lack of body strength when playing against mostly men was the single biggest factor holding him back last year

He'll be better off with a proper preseason under his belt (First year draftees are on modified/reduced programs and don't participate in all drills/sessions)

Don't talk shit about the south mate.

 

[avishka5]

Hopefully rotham ain't ajother Notte. He doesn't really have to be a tank imo Mackie wasn't around that size but was stick thin. The way the game is heading those sort seem to be the perfect third tall as well.

Loving the royal blue!!!

Poor Willie, looked knackered...

Not really...he's just a weird looking unit
