Only at Collingwood.....

Blackmore injury report is that he is expected to miss two weeks

 

[Forethought]

Training days.

 

[Jen2310]

I'd think they'll train tomorrow for their last day before heading to GC.

 

[Sea fog]

Normal time?

 

[kallangur pie]

You'll need to give us a run down of the session.

Going in for precautionary scans due to a mild case of alien awareness.

Gosh Tom Mitchell has broken his leg and is expected to be out for the season. Let us hope that we do not suffer anything like this during our training sessions.

But hawthorn have special doctors and medics so they’ll be fine....


Hmmm injuries happen even outside of our training centre.

More contenders chasing players at the mid-season draft. Hopefully we're well along the path to identifying our Murray replacement if that pans out as we expect.

Lets see what I remember from this morning.

Everyone, but Jamie Elliot was out there. Even Beams.

Levi Greenwood, Will Kelly, Wells, Langdon, WHE and Crisp were mainly just working by themselves and running up and down the track.

The session was drills, followed by lots and lots of match practice. As in 90% of the session.

Half way through the session, the fire alarm goes off in the glasshouse and we were all told to move further to the grass area. Fire brigade came not too long later. The boys were still training, didn't seem to concern them for the most part. I guess it was nothing serious, as short time later, everyone then went back to work.

Shaz was doing some running also. Followed by some kick to kick with a couple of the other payers. Broomhead did a small amount of running, but didn't do a whole lot today.

Pretty much everyone was wearing their numbers, except for Wells, WHE, Beams and Roughy.

I am going down there for it and I will describe as best I can.

A little concerning about Elliott.

A little concerning about Elliott.

Probably just training inside, like Beams, Mayne did on Wed. They are prob just being cautious with him. We'll see in QLD if they does their training sessions

 

[jackcass]

A little concerning about Elliott.

Not really.

 

[sr36]

A little concerning about Elliott.

He's probably just got a touch of awareness. Should be ok in 2021.

 

[Black_White]

Maybe because Phillips keeps beating him

I meant why isn’t he further back?
Where’s the young guns stepping up?

He's just too good. Quaynor will improve I reckon.

Sidebottom is a very good runner who at 28 should be at his peak in terms of endurance.

 

[Black_White]

Sidebottom is a very good runner who at 28 should be at his peak in terms of endurance.

No doubt.
But he has been virtually unchallenged in a decade. Only one man has bested him in recent times.
A decade at the pointy end of any contest just seems unnatural given the nature of our sport.

 

[legendstatus]

Elliott is s big concern

I found it interesting to see that ex-Pie Josh Smith has won the last two 2km time trials at his new club West Coast, and even equalled the all-time club record for the race. I can't remember exactly how he fared at Collingwood in this event; I'd imagine he would have been up with the leaders but still behind Phillips and Sidebottom. So perhaps it's just a case of Sidebottom (and Phillips) being very good at what they do!

Not surprised by that, given he was always up there with Phillips.

End of 2017, for the 2018 pre season Josh came second behind Phillips. In end of 2016, he came 3rd behind Steele.

Seems Josh finished the time trial is under 6 minutes. That's faster than Phillips now.
