Training Report No.5: April 13, 2017

Conditions: Early fog then sunny. No breeze. Perfect conditions for training.

Not Training: 0

Limited Training: Ben Sinclair, Tom Langdon. Both ran/walked laps after appearing late.

New injuries: Ben Crocker asked the physio for some attention during a break in match play. Appeared to be his right leg. Stretching took place, then he walked over to speak with Bill Davoren on the sidelines. He was pointing to the back side of his right knee. He then left the field and Davoren walked over to tell Bucks who was busy with the magnetic board.
This is the healthiest list I’ve seen since I returned home in 2011. Buckley must be touching wood. It also applies the pressure though. Buckley’s coaching over the last 5 seasons could never really be assessed in my opinion, due to the shocking injury toll to key players. At last he gets clean air. There can be no more excuses.
Player Watch:
Jamie Elliott – did everything one could ask today. Expectations were high after last week’s VFL game and Jamie ticked all the boxes. Bucks may wait another week, but he’s ready.
Matty Sharenberg – did well in match simulation today. Very clean by hand and foot. Played back mostly, but late in the session was seen standing alongside Lyndon Dunn and appeared to be playing forward. Not far off.
Daniel Wells – trained well. Was pleased to see him sprinting at full pace early. A few good games in the VFL should see him pressing for selection.
Jordan De Goey – fully recovered. Trained strongly. Will play VFL this week.
Rupert Wills – progressing well. Looked good last week in the VFL match. Will need a month in the VFL I’d reckon. I’d love to see him back at AFL level.
Henry Shade – impressed today in match simulation. Uses the ball so well. A lovely accurate kick.
Josh Daicos – so impressive when involved in play. Very smooth. Will be developing his defensive game in the VFL.
Kale Kirby – has lost a lot of weight. Did some work in the middle today. Very strong through the hips and has strength over the ball. Is working with great enthusiasm. Fantastic to see this improvement.

Ruck drills: various players worked with Rocca today in tap work drills. Grundy, Cox, Keeffe, White and Moore all had turns at palming the ball to the waiting Treloar and Pendlebury.
Match Play: A few of the match-ups
Benton Sanderson ran the match play. Taylor Adams was everywhere. Ran the ball out of the middle as if the ball was on a string. Was opposed to De Goey and beat him pointless.
Pendles played mostly at half forward and was picked up by Lyndon Dunn.
Shade stood alongside Keeffe. Goldsack took Mitch McCarthey. Wills played on Varcoe.

Now the players meet in the middle and listen to Bucks. A group break away and are spoken to by Bill Davoren on the boundary. They are: Daicos, Brown, Wills, Lynch, McCarthey, Wells, McLarty, De Goey, Oxley, Thomas, Mackie and Kirby. These players then exit the arena.

Now the senior players do some match simulation with Bucks supervising. Smith V Broomhead, Dunn v Sharenberg, Sidey V Treloar, Grundy V Cox, Shade v White, Goldsack V Moore, Crisp V Pendles,
Greenwood v Maynard, Howe V Faz.

Mayne stayed on the track after many left; including Elliott. Somebody near me commented that he thought Bucks might give him one more week. Surely not?

Conclusion: What a day to be at training! I have to say I love getting here early and having a good coffee. The bacon and eggs went down a treat, as the fog lifted and the sun peeked through just as the players were appearing at 10am. Elliott did enough in my book to be selected. Mayne trained very well and may survive yet. Adams was outstanding as were Howe and Treloar. Again, Dunn impresses with his vocal encouragement and outstanding kicking skills. Looks like Wills, Dunn, Wells, Sharenberg and De Goey will be pushing hard for selection over the next 2-3 weeks.

Always loved your reports ,lots of quality every time
Coming in lots of guys we all want to see ,we need a couple to demand selection
We need patience
Feel bucks has the RIGHT people around
Shaz looked great vs Geelong when I went although broomy looked good as well
Can't wait for wells
Reckon Mayne will surprise as well as setting the Right example for our flock of up and comers
Once he gets a bit more familiar with style players new state ect ect
And the Big Yank can and will surprise

How did McLarty look?

 

[wicksy]

So Ben Sinclair trained?

Excellent as always Mazzarjo, thank you.

 

[swoop42]

I'm sporting a semi.

 

[Apples]

How did McLarty look?

He is raw but I reckon he's gonna be a goody. Took a terrific contested mark at one stage. It looked strong and natural. Just imagine, a big strong KPP who can mark overhead!

 

[Saintly Viewed]

Excellent enjoyable read Mazzarjo much appreciated.

 

[Saintly Viewed]

And a full list

Wow!

 

[Soups]

Exactly what we need in the back half. You just look at players who can take a strong intercept grab over head and they can completely destroy opposition forwards. Hopefully that's what this kid does one day.

 

[Hong Kong Pie]

Thanks for the report!

 

[JB1975]

Like others, I've found aspects of your report quite...stimulating. Thank you.

The image of Berg up forward against Dunny stuck out for me. I'm an unabashed fan of the Berg, and I've been making many sacrifices to the footy gods so that he can get a good run at it. If he does, then we'll soon see him as a lot more than an astute and clean half-back. He's a footballer, and he can play the game almost anywhere on the ground if his body serves his talent.

I understand that others haven't seen the light when it comes to Shaz, and I understand that there is an element of 'faith' to how I see him, but I'm confident that the faith will be repaid.

 

[rand corp]

Spine tingling report Niel, I'd forgotten what it was like to have a near full list pushing for selection, appreciate these so much
