I get paid for this right????

I'll buy you a beer.

a tall forward combination of sturt, treacy and amiss.
they can clunk them, lead at the ball carrier and are good at ground level.

Plus if Eric can make it as a true ruck forward we won't have to run Tabs in the ruck at all and Lobb can simply pack up his hair gel and skivvies and GTFO

They might need a little time to actually develop..

At this stage 2/3 would be brushed aside easily by almost all key defenders, and the third would need to be on the move to have much chance.
Now hopefully in 2-4 years time they're all on the list and hitting their stride, then it'll be exciting.

If one of the 2 is Sturt, I seem to remember Hurley trying that with him in his debut game and failing miserably.

 

[Freomaniac]

Remember the game well. Actually impressed with his leading and one on ones. Missed a few gimmes too. Had 4 shots from memory.
He should train as a forward. Fast, strong in the air, plays tall when really he’s medium. Can tackle and chase with his speed.
A better version of Mayne, which we’ve missed.

i still remember him in the lead up to his draft year in 2016. I didn't hear too much about him. It was until the week leading up to the draft he became a draft bolter.

Its weird as back in 2017, Brennan cox got a run up forward and kicked 3 goals that year. I was surprised Logue didn't have a 3-5 game run up for to see if he could kick goals.

A shame that logue was injured for most of his 2nd season. Had a knee injury the kept him out. Logue played a few WAFL games late in 2018.

Treacy managed to hold his ground in a few 1 on 1s this year as well, only really Amiss and Benning who will need some time to develop physically. But we have Tabs and Lobb in the team next year so they should have time.

You know the preseason optimism is high when an untried Valente isn't being suggested as the saviour.

Valente .....name seems familiar

 

[Taylor]

Valente and Serong training in the safety orange hat isn't nice to see, but hopefully that's just a "don't tackle them for a while" thing.

Kick it to Valente.

>Ummmmm coach Va-who?

The guy in the orange hat not called Caleb!

> Got it coach

Valente .....name seems familiar

I think they meant Luke Excellente which is why it sounds familiar.

 

[Pussinbootz]

How do we see Western progressing this year?

 

[Scham]

How do we see Western progressing this year?

With Peel, and hopefully on the wing and high half forward. It'd be good to see him use his pace as a weapon and really improve his level of involvement in games.

He was an inside mid in his draft year wasn’t he? I remember footage of him bursting out from centre bounces.

I don't see him being an inside mid at AFL level in the short to medium term, so best to develop him in an area or role that he can use at the next level imo.

 

[Taylor]

Yes, Western needs a secondary role in the side to get a game with the occasional rotation through the stoppages where he can burst out like Switta, ideally we would use them the same way all over the ground.

 

[Jezzitizle]

I have Sturt as 189cm. That pic above is him near the 196cm Amiss.

I sat next to Sturt at a cafe a couple of weeks ago.

Didn’t look kpf height to me, 189 looked about right (that’s around my height, so I had a decent point of reference).

This is the kind of boots on the ground reporting that mainstream media is afraid to do these days

Preseason training report#3

Who is there?
I think about 41 players, the only player not sighted that I am aware of was Hamling.

Rehab
Fyfe, Tabs, Walker, Tracy, Schultz
All are running and looked ok, just building fitness or getting over a minor niggle
Fyfe ran laps at a very good rate and is progressing at a rapid rate (still marking one handed) and did a lot of goal kicking
Young, Sturt, Benning and Amiss (who has a very significant left knee bandage) spent time in rehab and with the main group.

Injured possibly?
Lobb - was working on the cross trainer and finished abruptly and then could barely walk, must have strained a leg or groin going by the difficulty he had in walking back to the change rooms

Main training
Wilson and Cox back in main training
Johnson’s terrific kicking skills starting to stand out
Amiss spending time opposed to Pearce - what a lesson for the youngster
Chapman and Clark looking very composed and combining coming out of defence
Skills in the 13 on 13 full oval drills was only average with players still struggling to hit or find open players
Lots of running with Acres, Erasmus, Valente,, Mundy, Brodie, Crowden, Serong, O’Driscoll, Brayshaw and Johnson running in the midfielders group
Impressed by Darcy’s skills below his knees picking up the footy like a rover on numerous occasions

Forward Line
This is being run by Graham and Lecca and in my view there is significant improvement happening in conversion on goal and crumbing a goal. Lecca is massive for this group he had individual training with Sturt (close to not missing a single shot on goal), Amiss (also barely missed a goal) and then Western and Fredericks practicing crumbing goals - Western was clever and Fredericks has a lot of work to do on his forward craft.
Lecca was showing Sturt one of his skills which is to hold a ball and have someone kick the ball at the ball he is holding. Lecca would allow the ball kicked to him to hit the ball he was holding out of his hands and in the same motion catch the incoming ball, Sturt could not get this “party trick”.

Best signers of merchandise for the kids
Darcy, Switta, Son Son, Henry, Brayshaw and Western

Training the house down
Lecca - looks like he could still play but is adding a lot to our forward craft (yeah he is a coach but outstanding)
Son Son and Johnson kicking skills were outstanding

I get paid for this right????

Say it with me..... FREDERICK!!!
