Training 2026 Training Reports

[2big2strom]

In just about every photo of Sweid he is smiling or laughing.

He is like a kid in a lolly shop!

He reminds me of Son son, always had a smile on his face at training. Just a boy living out his dream and grateful for it every day.

 

[anchor man]

I'm not sure he even makes the side.

He squeezed into the 'options' basket at the moment, and will need to have a great preseason.

He will make the team. His ball use is very very good. Clear thinker, great kick. And good hands. Sees the game early.

 

[greatgatsby]

I agree, the timing of his injury was very unlucky. If he picks up where he left off he will be selected early on.

 

[DQ 4EVER]

The more the merrier. Small forwards and rucks needed urgently

You must be loving our 2 train on players

I am begging one of Toby or Tobyn to get a haircut, they look identical

I can see an easy fix

I have heard that Draper was training with the mids
I find this surprising
Can anyone confirm that? (Not that I find it surprising)

Should be a winger. Has the attributes for it

 

[Knees of Ben Allan]

What is Mayne's coaching role?

Hopefully not Maintaining Momentum Leading into 2nd Quarter Officer.

 

[freoextra]

Dudley looking slim

Yeah, from what I could see no visible gut, he has lots of competition now hopefully it keeps him motivated and away from Maccas. Kickett very lean and hungry for a game as well.

He or/and Chapman should be trialled on the wing.

[Ge3ks]

Needs a big PS. A coming up behind.

A what now, where now?

 

[Superkoops]

A what now, where now?

Too quick with the thumb typing. Poor fella we don’t want that at all.

I meant a few competing for that true small forward spot.

They mention amiss looking slimmer. Good call by the club. Amiss is best when he's moving not wrestling blokes

 

[FreoRicci]

He or/and Chapman should be trialled on the wing.

The coaches did JOM and NOD in the final. Massive fail. I’m sure anything and everything should be looked at on the wing.

Why though? He’s not big, so I’m guessing they’ll change his role? CHF leading with Voss and Treacy the main full forwards ?

I would have thought the Gunston role would be a perfect fit for Jye. Read the play early, find the gaps. Requires a really sound athletic base.

Jye is a beautiful field kick so having him kicking inside 50 is another weapon to add. How good is it to actually have forward options now!

Now, just imagine having them surrounded with quick, nimble small forwards who could kick accurately and provided good defensive pressure.

Whatever role Jye has needs to involve space in front. His best work is good strong leads at the ball carrier. I suspect he moves a bit further out from goal square and ends up leading up hard to HFF/Wing. Him wrestling is not his go - plus backmen illegally scrag him.

And I've never been hypocritical in my life lol


His 2024 AA was even worse than Battle's this year.

Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike Ryan because he's fat. I dislike him because of that Sydney game where I had to watch him take the full 20 seconds to kick it straight back to Sydney about 30 times over. And then had to watch him do that for about 50 games since.

Calling a spade a spade gets bites though.

If you are in a conversation where someone calls a shovel a spade by all means correct them. If you are continually bringing spades into conversations without a segue you are just being a dick.
