Training 2022 Training Reports

[FD2646]

Didn’t play much… he still played.

Outside of King who had an ACL, I can’t remember the last top ten KPF that didn’t play year one. There is absolutely zero reason to write off Amiss’s chances of playing a game completely before Christmas.

If he doesn’t play at all year one he’s either injured or below par for a top ten pick.

I just think Amiss is still a kid, who hasn't played against men and needs to be given a little time - this was evident when he went body on body against Pearce in training on Monday. He is certainly not a manchild like Treacy. Still think he will be a very good player.

I don’t expect him to play every game - That’s unrealistic.

100% expect a top ten pick to play a few games in his first season though. We took him in the top for a reason.

Also, the reality is that last season we saw all but four players (Valente, NOD, Thomas, Hill) play this season. It’s similar most seasons.

Keep expectations low but not too low. He’ll play.

I hope we are building enough depth so that players are coming in when it is their best time to debut.

Great work freoextra.
I popped down briefly last week and spoke to a training watcher that barely misses a session and has some good inside info. He said that O'Driscoll got a personal trainer pretty much a week or two after our season finished and his hard work was showing in his preseason training already as he did really well in the repeat 1km runs too. In my opinion there is a place in the team for an elite running tagger who uses the ball well to free Serong of tagging duties.

I've also got a mate at Hale who said that their biggest problem with Erasmus and their sports program was competition from sport teachers for him to play for them. Basically throughout his schooling he was so good at every sport that he chopped and changed all over the place. He said Hale struggled to work out how t0 use him at athletics carnivals because he was both their best distance runner and sprinter for most of his time there. He said that he would wing 100 metre events (including some interschool wins against elite boys schools) without any preparation as he was too busy with team sports outside of school. g against other elite boys schools at inter school.

Hnnnnnngggggg

Yep I'm keen to watch the group tomorrow if anyone know where n when. Will post a report if that is any motivation for a reply.

Has been at south’s oval the last two weeks, don’t know it would be different this week. Usually start around 9:15. But may be early tomorrow as the weathers looking pretty toasty.
Get a deck chair under one of the Morten Bay figs

Love that they’re training in Freo. It may be good PR but it’s also a good history lesson for the players, especially the noobs and interstaters
