Training Training thread - news and live reports

[ansonholt]

People accusing the players and coaches of accepting sloppiness at training don't get to many main sessions.

Interested in your perspective on this, RZ.
On the surface of it, dicking around at training is not a good look at all but if it's a one-off, I'm not fussed.

Anyone heading out to training today?

I'm here. Probably stick around for an hour.

They were just doing some drills crumbing contests at half forward, positioning for the spread when you win the ball. Honestly don't know how Fordham isn't getting a game at this point.

I hope Heath won't come after me for this or Brad take the group to train indoors but ...

Looking like Durdin forward and McKay back.

Fishy looks like he'll get up this week.

 

[RobZombie]

Looks like they're pretty much done. The sort of main session you have late in the season when everyone is sore.

Either way, Durds or McKay will have to support Goldy.

He was the SA U18 team's ruckman, and a bloody good one against players his own age.

Should be great again, this year's nationals. My young bloke & I are looking forward to getting down to Curtin Uni to see a few games. (Let's face it, there's no AFL finals action to be getting excited about.)

Been meaning to reply to this.

If people are basing their opinion of training on open "training" days, they're nothing like real training. Open "training" is a meet-n-greet with a bit of a light run around. And as they're usually between the main session and the game, they don't want to do more than a light skills tune-up anyway, and especially not much in the way of contact.

Main sessions generally have sessions of contested/contact/tackling work, structure/positioning/ball movement, and full-ground game sense. Not they they don't enjoy themselves when they do something well - they get paid to play a game, right? - but they're there to do the work.

Cheers mate - will certainly keep an eye out.

No - the team he got allocated to, North Coast Raiders, were newly promoted. Sure enough, they finished stone motherless so will be heading straight back down again.

The short, fast Anglo-Indian lad who is also from Victoria played for that side this year too. They will no doubt get reallocated for next season.

Nah as I said never been to training session before. I guess that's why I was surprised.
