It was a tongue in cheek comment - but okay

Sorry OTC, hot day, kids, work .... I’m a little frazzled.

Or don’t take your kids to work.

Hey, those Nike sneakers aren't going to make themselves!!

 

[Alite]

Please explain especially after mentioning Wanganeen in post 884. Are you actually a Scum supporter?

A joke gone wrong... please ignor.

 

[Bugs1977]

Anyone going to be at training today?

 

[Kanga Commando]

An absolute blunder by Geelong, for any chess players out there. That encounter with Selwood, for all of Australia to see, will be one of many. Worpel will drive a stake in geelongs heart for years to come

They haven't gotten over the 2 big ones from '89 and '08.

Yes, report to come.

 

[RIOLINWITPUNCHS]

Yes, report to come.

 

[Mojo]

Yes, report to come.

I'll let you report MrP.. I'm sure you can offer a much more comprehensive analysis than I can!

 

[Bugs1977]

Yes, report to come.

Waiting patiently for this report

Stinking hot session, boys sweated it out.

I only have a few short notes, it was way too bloody hot even just watching. Hopefully Axe can give a bit deeper analysis:

- most notable for me again was Impey. Physically looking in ripping nick. Always thought last year that he looked a touch overweight, and I recall there were some queries on his endurance, but he seems much better today, especially in repeat running drills and hot weather. As I keep saying, looks primed for a big year.

- Stratts very vocal all session, you can see where the leadership chants are coming from.

- Howe continues to impress me with cleaness around the ball and energy

- Best i've seen Chip move in a while

- was on the other side of the oval to the rehab group, didn't get a great look

- Glass and Nash a stand out on track with skills and energy



Sorry guys, thats all i have from a really hot session.

Was only there briefly, so you could easily provide better insight than me

Gents, I noticed this article in the age this morning (don't shoot me for reading something with geelong/selwood):

80 per cent fit? Unlikely to play under 6-6-6 rules, believes Selwood

Have you happened to see any changes to the way in which we've been training to date?

What flavoured icy pole did you have?

Is Jars the running half back we have been missing? Agree that his endurance was the knock last year.

He very well maybe. That looks to be the role that he is being primed for.

 

[RIOLINWITPUNCHS]

He has such a unique set of physical and skill capabilities he could just about play any where with increased endurance.

Not too many players as quick as him but also as strong.

 

[threesixpio]

I love his “* you” I’m taking the game on attitude on the ground when he tries to break the line. With good endurance I can imagine some good last quarter moments where I lose my s**t after he kicks it lace out to The Chad who slots it

I think I need a Protein shake to stay standing...

 

[MrPremiership]

He's a burst player, and I have some queries about his tank if he was to be a full time midfielder.

He could be our JJ. Run and burst out of half back with potential bursts in the middle I think.

had a mango weiss at lunch

My two cents worth CLA is that Hardwick is the perfect candidate (along with more Worpel) to replace Tom in the guts, he has a more mature body than our young mids, clean hands and good/above average disposal, our young mids can be played down back to learn the game. We also have Birchall and Scrimshaw to come in too the the defence.

Unfortunately trying to replace someone that gets 30 plus disposals on a bad day requires more than hoping our next generation mids will pick up the slack, the season is long and young bodies will get smashed up.

IMO Hardwick actually plays on opposition players - a good trait to have as a defender. Neither Scrimshaw or Birchall appear to do that.

You can only have one Sicily down there. If Hardwick plays mid, it’ll be an accountable smaller player who takes his place in the backline.

 

[TylerDurden]

Every team has a damaging small forward. We need Hardwick to shut him the ferk down.
