Training 2019 Preseason

James Brayshaw...."Rockliff kicks to his former teammate Jack Rich"

I kid you not. The man is a moron.

Had only caught a couple of Hobart training sessions and like what I see but there is a lot to learn. Not sure if he gets a run in the twos practice match against the Dees next month, I hope he does as this should give all/me a clearer indication of how well he is tracking.

Thanks for the feedback. Wondering if he will get a run today?

Welcome mate.

I can't give you a lot of extra info on how James Madden had been going, but I did notice this:

In one of the the preseason Vlogs he seemed to be starting as a back pocket for the second team (unsurprisingly in his first match sim). That would have matched him against either Charlie Cameron or Linc McCarthy. A good test.

At about the 2:01 minute mark of this video, you'll see Zorko shark the ball at speed from a ruck contest on the wing and looks to be clear to kick forward before a desperate late smother picks the ball off his boot laces. Pretty sure that's James.

He manages to then trap the loose ball and almost breaks away before Zorko wraps him up.



It's only 3 seconds of footage, but at the time I found myself rewinding it to figure out who it was.

James obviously has pace but it takes serious skill to pull that off against someone like Zorko at full pace. Even to see it as an possible option in a game you're so new to is impressive.

Thanks for the welcome and feedback. Good quick,small impressive footage there, shows that at least he's not injured and that he is quick. Hoping he can get a run today, or in the practice matches. Also hoping we can see his name a bit more often.

Yeah, the problem is that he doesn't provide anything more insightful than what your hungover mate on the couch (who barely watches AFL) does. And he gets paid for it.

He doesn't need the money.

And we don't need him.

You're right, he doesn't add anything at all, well nothing beyond a one-eyed parochialism to SA teams that would almost put Eddie to shame. His 'commentary' during the Lions v Port game last year was laughable. Although listening to him when the Lions were on top was thoroughly enjoyable. For him I assume that was akin to eating a shit sandwich.

I actually like him.

Don’t get me wrong re my first post on Roo. I think he’s a moron. There’s just something about his voice that makes me giggle and find strangely endearing.

Right up there with Derwayne imo.

Where's Dodongo?

Why is Eric Hipwood lighter than in 2016??? Who is in charge of his food intake?

He is much stronger than in 2016. However, l get they want to take it slow with him however he said he has gained 1 kg of muscle over the off season, hould be getting mroe than that.

Perhaps we should engage Josh Green as a calorie intake consultant?

Mind you, Christensen appeared well on track last season as well.

Appears the club has organised another intra club match.

Had to reschedule players time off etc, to get the game in.

I’d say there is some concern with the weekends performance within the four walls of the coaches office to do this.

If I can recall right, there was post stating that the last game was organised as they wanted Stef Martin, Adams and another player to get a game practice in before the start of the season

How many if any of the other teams organise pre season intra club games?

Said he was going on a holiday back around late last year. Haven't seen him since.

The decision was actually made about a month ago and was why the players were given a four day break last weekend to make up for it. This isn't a reactionary move, it has been in the planning for some time.

The difference in the women’s team last week to this week was huge. Get whoever delivered their pregame chat to get into the boys.

If you know anything about body types and muscle growth you’d know 1kg over a 2-3 mth period is for his body type not too bad.

Yup. Wanted to eliminate that bye week between the last JLT and the start of the regular season.
