Yesterday i was driving past punt road oval about 11am & noticed some boys training , Decided to drive in to have a look and after spinning some porky pies to the security guard managed to convince him to let me drive into the car park.
ME Building looks fantastic .................. Really stands out and the colours are Sensational
The players i seen training when i was there were Mainly The Big Boys
Riewoldt,Vickery,Post,Graham, .............. And Dea
They were all practicing their Kicking & Marking ''specky's'' over the poor dude with the padding.
They were all pretty good but Gee can vickery get up !! just about stood on the poor blokes head fantastic leap as all the boys were.
Enough of the teasing ............. Lets get down to GRIMES
I was there for 1 hour & Grimes and 2 trainers were already training seperate to the rest of the boys and boy were they pushing him HARD
constantly body contact banging shoulders,chasing,tackling wrestling ,pushups,sprints,simulated kicking drills,running to position and kicking under pressure etc etc.
They did not stop constantly harrasing him whilst he was made to gather the ball & try spoiling it was a full on work out and there was no signs of hamstring problems at all even when he was sprinting to get to a ball that was delivered very wide and he had to really extend himself to mark at full speed.
The thing that really took my notice 1st up was that Grimesy has actually put on some muscle & even though they were 50-70 metres apart i had a really good look at him and doesnt look much if any smaller than Jack or post.
All of his kicking , marking & spoiling were A1 everything he did was perfect.
I was actually very very impressed & excited by what i seen of grimes yesterday & Look out for next year, we haveanother 7 months before the 2012 season starts & if yesterday is anything to go by expect him to add more baulk to the frame.
There will be a lot of Tiger supporters very suprised with the dylan grimes that steps out next season.
