Apples' Training Reports

Reckon Rupert Wills plays based on that attention at the end surely..

Couple of inside mids doing some inside mid training, not sure how that holds any indicative meaning.

 

[Copeland]

Sier looks to have gone through another growth spurt, the jumper he wore is to small.

Wow he really is a tank hey?

 

[Copeland]

Admittedly it isn’t easy for Bucks and the selection committee atm, I’m being a little self indulgent. Just wanna see em both on the big stage in a big match, to see if they cut the mustard.
Buggered if I know who to drop.......
Adams, Mayne, Daicos maybe, thou they all have claims for selection.
Good situation.

Daics isn't ready IMO

 

[jackcass]

Daics isn't ready IMO

Yeah, still a season or 2 away from staking a genuine claim but that's the nature of limited squads and mounting injury tolls. Luckily, he's playing a role when he gets his chances and it'll hold him in good stead going forward. I would like to see him get a few games in a row to see how he adapts.

Training Video from Thursday.

Gee that McLarty bloke is gunna be a big boy when he fills out... Howe looks he is totally ready to play...

Nothing PC about it.

Live streaming VFLW would merely give folks the choice of watching games if they want to.

Nobody would be forcing anybody to watch it if they don’t want to.

Do you watch magpies netball on the Telly? Me neither. I choose not to.

But some people choose to do so.

Im sorry but me and my wife love the netty. Many people at my work do too

Wow he really is a tank hey?

I was actually thinking that too. Didn't notice it at the ground as filming using a small screen is quite a difficult job, but last night as I looked at the vision, I thought he was bigger than I'd imagined. He's big across the shoulders and chest and big in the hips and bum as well. He still manages to have the speed necessary for his position. Hope he gets a game soon. He's worked hard for 7-8 months and deserves a reward.

Training Report: Thursday June 21, 2018

Weather: Cold & Sunny 10
What a sensational morning for training; sunny and still and the players really appeared to enjoy themselves.
Not Training:
Broomhead, Wells
Limited Training:
Aish, Reid, Fasolo
*Murray left the track ill; apparently suffering from a virus.

Jaimie Elliott:
The very heartening aspect of training today was the form of Jaimie Elliott. Jaimie took part in all of the drills and looks almost ready to play. At the press conference at midday, Bucks suggested that they’d probably give him two more weeks of training to see how he measured up and then bring him up to match fitness in the VFL.
Ben Reid:
Didn’t join the main group in any drills. He and a trainer ran 100m sprints on the outer side. It looks like they are being very conservative with Reid. Wouldn’t expect to see him inside a few weeks and like Elliott, would return through the VFL.
Alex Fasolo:
Didn’t join any drills. Ran laps for an hour or so. I don’t think Alex will be ready before August if today was any indication.
Rupert Wills:
Trained very well. Inside work and tackling was ferocious. This week for Rupert?
Brayden Sier:
It’s interesting to watch Brayden at training this year. Last year he was always on the perimeter looking in. He was quiet and reserved and, as I observed a few times, just didn’t get a lot of the ball. This year he appears very confident, is more outgoing and verbal and uses his body well in close. Could he debut this week? He did everything asked of him on the track. Brayden says the nickname ‘Bear’ comes from childhood and followed him to the club. He wore gold studs on each side of his nose.
Darcy Moore:
Good to see Darcy take part in all of the drills. Flew for marks, did the sprints and tackled well. Not far away.
Josh Smith:
Looks to be close. I’d expect they’ll give him a few more weeks on the track before he starts back in the VFL.
Nathan Murray:
Did the warm ups with his training buddy Jaidyn Stephenson. Beautiful user of the ball, particularly on his right. He’s poised and balanced in everything he does. I’d love to see him make his debut this year. Fingers crossed.

The Buckley Press Conference:
•Negotiations have begun with Jordan DeGoey. That’s all Bucks was prepared say.
DeGoey will spend the remainder of the season between midfield and forward. It depends on the balance required.
Wells: He has had surgery and now we wait for the dust to settle. The reality sets in for Wellsy in the next couple of weeks.

Bucks was asked a question from a journo about Will H-E. Bucks was effusive in his praise. I’ve not heard Bucks speak this way very often. He’s clearly delighted.
“He’s really young even though he’s been around a while. He has a lot of his football journey left ahead of him, and he’s as excited and as positive about that as we are.”
“He’s grown into his position, is confident in his ability, is a fantastic person around the club and is very popular with his team-mates.”

Elliott, Fasolo, Smith, Reid, Moore: Bucks said all of these boys would be taken slowly. “Most, probably all of them, will work their way back through the VFL. This hasn’t always happened in the past. Our list is such that we don’t have to rush these boys back.”

•Jaidyn Stephenson left the track early. He didn’t appear to be injured.

•Josh Thomas wore a heavy icepack on his hamstring when the players went into the communal lunch.

What Dave means to say is "Thanks Apples for the in depth report and accompanying photos"

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

I really hope Josh Smith doesn't make his way back into the side.

Thanks Apples for the report, really great to get a feel for what is going on! And thanks to Apples2 for the pics, I think we have our official BF board media team set

 

[The Magnificent Seven]

I really hope Josh Smith doesn't make his way back into the side.

Anyone who makes it into this side will have earnt it. If Smith gets in, he's playing alright.

 

[leahcar]

I really hope Josh Smith doesn't make his way back into the side.

What if he breaks out like phillips though? I would have hoped phillips didn't make it into the side after last year but look at him now. I'd be happy to give him an opportunity although by the time he's back we'll be up against the good sides so you'd imagine it'd only be injury to to our best 22 and good form from him to come into the side.

 

[Apples]

Yes Dave, I did take video today. I concentrated on Sier, Wills and a few others returning from injury. It will be up after my dinner guests depart later tonight.

 

[Pragmatic Shill]

Ice pack for Thomas? Please no.

Cheers for the report and pics.

I really hope Josh Smith doesn't make his way back into the side.

More useful than most think, especially with our current core team.

Much better way to talk about a player
