2019 Training Reports

[Cesoir]

Did McCarthy and Sturt train?

Yeah, sorry forgot Sturt - he was with the rehab guys but looked fine. McCarthy was with the main group.

 

[Cesoir]

Proof of how good our medical group and sports and fitness group are. LMFAO.

Sorry if I was too positive. I see what the training report guys mean.

Disappointing, i was very happy with your comments.
Thank you.

Any word on the Peel scratch match this Saturday?

 

[freoextra]

Yeah, sorry forgot Sturt - he was with the rehab guys but looked fine. McCarthy was with the main group.

So McCarthy and Ballas have both achieved a 'bradbury' for Freo's forward positions (by being fit).

 

[wild side]

McCarthy has had a reasonable summer by most accounts.
He gets his chance after missing out on both JLT's.
Its his last year of a lucrative contract.
Basically, he's f&&kd if he doesn't have a red hot crack

Rehab and pretty basic drills today. Rock seemed to be doing a lot of cobbling today.

Meek impressed me with is ability to his low hard kicks that found the target - pretty good for a big guy.

Hogan was having shots from around 50 late in training and hitting them pretty well - looks fine to me. And he's a s**t stirrer.

Giro's kicking was similarly the kind of stuff you'd like to be leading up to.

Sonny looks to be moving well (touch wood).

I noticed Steve Rosich coming out onto the ground shaking hands with Joel Hamling - maybe a new deal has been agreed on?

Logue looks pretty good (and is carrying less hair) - I'd be surprised if he isn't ok for round 1. He is also a s**t stirrer.

Blakely seems to be moving pretty well and indicated to the support staff he was comfortable.

Stephen Hill running with his customary smoothness so hopefully he's not too far away.

Poor Switta looks like a man who has had enough of rehab. I really hope he gets a decent crack at it because he's shown something when he's been out there.

Cox commented that his injury couldn't have come at a worse time. Not sure what the prognosis is but he looks like a sore boy.

I won't say anything about Harley except please footy gods give us and him a break.

I have a good feeling about Barra - he's done a full pre-season and it wouldn't surprise me if he ripped it up this year.

It was nice to see Johnno down there in a Freo polo talking to the coaches. I don't know if he's doing some coaching.

That's about all I've got.

Thanks for that training report... really needed something positive.

AFLW father daughter rule at the moment is one game.

A girl

Hopefully she gets her mum's legs.

 

[LeftFootBanana]

To be fair Harley has a decent looking set of pins - wonderfully slim calves.

Maybe it's time to look at time spent on a senior list as opposed to actual games played when assessing father-son eligibility?

The whole discussion is moot isn’t it? Can’t get on the park, a near certainty to be delisted come year’s end?

 

[M_rash]

Made it down to training this morning...

 

[Wally Walpamur]

I don’t understand why we haven’t seen more ok Meek. The past 12-24 months either or both of Sandi and Darcy have been injured and we’ve seen MJ and Tabs in the ruck and occasionally Jones. By all accounts from training and Peel watchers, he’s at least on par with Jones but with better skills.

in 17 years i imagine that will be different

He didn’t impact when playing for Peel on the weekend, couldn’t make it to the contests..

He needs to be bashing down the door not last man standing!

That is disappointing to hear.

So he lacks endurance?

Looks fit enough, just seemed to be always out of position, maybe not reading the play as well.

Did any of our players make an impact in that game?

Bit harsh to can him on one game. A game that we got belted and from what I’ve heard, very few of our players made any great impact, but Ill be guided by you Walkingwounded as you were there.

His form last year was fine, and certainly better than Jones who’s been given games. And he was very good in the VFL the year before that.
