Training Apples' Training Threads 2018/19

[Saintly Viewed]

Ive heard that its a little like the Hotel California

You can check out anytime, but you can never leave....

 

[Darkyprotector]

We haven't had Family day in years. Wed is just open training. And I assume there will be training Monday. I'm gonna go down and check it out.

Me too

I agree Chris. I was going to mention Mayne's leadership. He was very vocal indeed. That's something that occured to me as I watched the match sims and I was going to mention it to Albert. Many players were taking on leadership roles. I noticed Murphy directing traffic down back a few times when the ball was at the opposite end. The second match sim in particular was very vocal. Appleby was good I agree and there'll be plenty of selection headaches with so many fit backs ready to roll. BTW the short blonde bloke was from the VFL. I couldn't pick him either and Albert Parker said there were a few VFL boys there today.

Looked like Lachy Tardrew in one of the videos posted.

 

[Soups]

IQ will play round 1 if he’s fit imo. We play kids who do the right things and he seems to do them all.

 

[Smokeyr67]

Oh wow, that Moore news sounds exciting. I'm excited. Pretty excited. I'm...

OK, actually, I might wait until he can string a few games together before I get too excited.



Anyone know a good hospital for horses?

Nay, but I can suggest some good PALliative care.

 

[Scodog10]

Surely you too are not on ignore?

You and I were probably the first two!

 

[Anzacday]

Chrispiesssss and Apples if the blonde guy you reference is the one in the video, it looks like Wellings to me.

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

At least I am in good company.

I asked Albert Parker this question on Monday at training, and I'm interested in other opinions.
If you had to pick one of our defenders, who is our best 'one on one' defender?

Crisp, for guys under 192cm. Dunn for guys over that height.

 

[FIGJAM]

Moore.

Maynard after that GWS semi. Needs to be developed as our next tagger once he gets the planned midfield time and Greenwood retires. Quaynor and Appleby sound like they could develop nicely into the spot Maynard currently occupies.

This chap in the video?:

It looks a lot more like Tardrew than Wellings.


It does look a fair bit like Campbell Lane as well:

^ I'd say it looks more like him than Tardrew!

[Old Spice]

Moore.

If he stays fit I'd tend to agree. He looked electric versus Franklin in his last game.

That said there's some pretty fierce competitors down there in all positions which is great.

Tardrew looks like Bill Hader doing an AFL sketch.

Maynard was my pick too. Doesn't get a lot of credit, but there's a lot of upside. Strong, brave and disciplined.

 

[Bad Horse]

A friend asked if I could feed her dogs over the holidays.







That would explain the shotgun.

 

[Eddierules]

of course they were.

and a tip for the youngsters... if you find yourself forced to attend weight watchers or jenny craig or the like, at the initial weigh-in make sure you have a couple of kilos of sand secreted in your pockets... maybe lead weights would work, too. Just to give you that bit of leeway when push comes to shove after a couple of months.

I went to Jenny Craig's I lost $800 in 6 weeks.

Our games built on team defense so individuals don’t get isolated 1 v 1. It’s the reason why you get such varied opinions with guys like Crisp, Dunn, Maynard, Moore and even Appleby (who would have nominally stood the weakest forward in each game he’s played) all getting a mention.

The genuine defensive battles we had in 2018 were Goldsack v Reiwoldt, Moore v Franklin, Goldsack v Kennedy x 2, Maynard v Greene and Moore v Reiwoldt. Aside from Maynard v Greene the trend there is losses (to either the defender or team), quick ball movement, KP battles and a lack of third in defensive support.

I guess if I were to answer the question it would be that I’m not properly able to identify who it is, it’s only good for bragging rights and it really doesn’t matter who it is which is a win for the coaching group.

FWIW the correct answer is Greenwood because he can shutdown all over the ground

Do you cook the dogs first, or does she eat them raw?

Yes, it is not Wellings, who I had seen at training last week and was identified to me by a staff member.
Agree it looks more like Lane than the others, but I am still not sure.

Except for in the game that matters.

At the moment it's Maynard. Obviously there is the Greene job he did, but he also did a job on Eddie Betts earlier in the year too.

I think when it comes to the monster forwards, Lynden Dunn is our best. I reckon he was our biggest loss structurally last year as we really don't have any other genuine 'Full Backs' on our list.
