Training 2026 Training Reports

[The Nostradamus]

No. McDonald Logue Daniel Parker Zurhaar Comben on blue.

It was 18 v 18 with no rotations. No VFL listed players today to pad numbers. Apart from McPherson.

Impossible to tell any likely changes. Powell was on the blue 18 so looks like he'll be staying in.

Kerch half forward or wing?

Really rather Kerch back and Daniel moved up the ground

GW not there today due to illness.

He'll come in later and train, we just wanted to keep him away from the group while he's got a sniffle," Clarkson said.

Forward pushing up.

 

[Chadwiko]

Wasn't at training today, so happy for Passmore to verify, but things I'm hearing (some of which Passmore already said but just bears repeating);

18v18, no rotations - "very short match sim period" today.
No Corr OR Pink in the blue tops today. Both orange.
Powell blue top.
Blamires orange top.

in defense. McKercher with the forwards.
Zurhaar still with the defenders.
Hardeman orange top.
CCJ orange top.
Duursma in orange.
Goater in blue.

I wouldn't read a whole heap into this. There were plenty of sessions last year where the blue tops/orange tops didn't have a super strong correlation to team selection.

Goat didn't participate in the brief match sim. Ran laps with Brewer. But they both did the session prior.

Everything else ticks off.

Dovaston Spargo Duursma Pink and Corr all in orange. Hard to read too much as 5 who didn't wear blue today will play. That's including GW.

The only take away is anyone hoping for Powell to be dropped will probably be disappointed.

Interesting. I'd heard otherwise. But as I said I wasn't there so can't say one way or another. I'm just passing along info as I heard it.

Suspect you're correct, however the lack of Wardlaw participation means it's still possible that Powell would have been in orange if Wardlaw had been playing.

Goater did the session up until the brief match sim.

The 18 in blue were as follows:

Comben Logue Parker McDonald Daniel Zurhaar
Xerri LDU Sheezel O'Sullivan Simpkin Stephens
Larkey Darling Trembath Curtis McKercher Powell.

Did Larkey hurt his finger this morning?

Remainder 5 for me should be Blamires corr Dova wardlaw and duurs

But they’ll probs keep playing spargo instead of Blamires especially as he was ok on the weekend

Did Larkey hurt his finger this morning?

Channel 7 News reported earlier that Larkey hurt his finger but will be fine.

 

[My Left Foote]

Channel 7 News reported earlier that Larkey hurt his finger but will be fine.

Hopefully it doesn’t impact his ability to point that he wants the ball out the back.

Compare Spargo and JKs kicking form.
