Official 2006 Training Thread

Heater at AFL has shown he is a nice kick although when under pressure it was at times sloppy, although this could be chalked down to AFL level inexperience and nerves. His kicking style is much like his running style, looks weird but effective.

 

[Vinnie Vegas]

Late in the season, Heath showed that he is a high possession winner, that he has solid, if not above average pace, and good footskills.

I still think that people are not quite excited enough about him as a prospect, because I think he's one of our more interesting young players.

Look at this page and say you're not at least a little impressed...

Looking at the Top 50, the guy hasn't obviously got much knowledge about football. Take a look at the player who's ranked at Number 26.

Heater ranked the second best rising star in the AFL? I like what I see, but, does everyone agree with him?

 

[FIGJAM]

It's assembled on Ratings points Coin. Second column from right.

Heater's ranked highly due to a good average possession rate, but mainly due to a very high mark average.

He's shown he can find it, now he needs to improve his polish.

Seeing as though I can't make it to training tomorrow, anyone else going?

I'm going to the Tennis, so I may pop in for a quick look and take some notes/pics. Not a full report this time, but a bit of news all the same.

Sorry about the wait re Friday's report.

Great read, mate.
Your reports are always first class!

Did Walker play on Rocca? You have put them down on your match up list, but they played on the same team?


Black:
B: Clement, Toovey, Walker.
HB: Maxwell, Wakelin,
C: Egan, Didak, Lonie.
HF: Buckley, Rocca, C.Cloke.
F: Caracella, Tarrant, Nicholls.
R: Richards, Davis, ?

Great work Luke great read

 

[Us3]

Great work Luke great read

indeed, awesome work luke.

you want to have a word because they mispelt your name wrong in the most important part of the article

 

[RustyG]

Excellent work Luke.
Very informative.
Keep it coming.

 

[Johnson#26]

Thanks, guys. There should be more up soon.

 

[macca69]

Thanks, guys. There should be more up soon.

was a great read, even for non-collingwood suppoters like myself. One question on it however, do you think that if Guy Richards is fully fit, he will be the number one ruck ahead of Fraser. If this is the case, is it because Richards is a better ruck than Fraser, or does Fraser add more to the side as a key forward, or both. Also how is Guy Richards looking at training, will he be fit come round 1, or could we even see him in the NAB cup.

 

[Kegs44]

Not sure if this has come up, but how's Ben Davies doing?

 

[Jabso]

Well done Luke on your article on the official site.

 

[Jabso]

[Family Guy-esque patronising tone] He's, he's doing good, he's doin' fine.

Thanks for that.

Richards is set to play round one of the NAB Cup - which is great news. He was tipped to go top 10 in 2000. He will be vital to the team structure, as he allows Fraser to float up forward as the third tall forward - with Taz, Rocca, C3 and Fraser as the talls - it'll be hard to beat.

 

[Magpie Phil]

J26 your a gun. I look forward to your next post @ Nicks.

The future looks bright young man, keep it up Luke.

I'm a chance.

Was there today. Will have a report up soon.

Yes for all the reasons you mention. Fraser could also play as a tall onballer without actually playing in the ruck.

The report only needs 1 word. TAZZA!!!!! The kid is back and ready to fire under the Duck's guidance. And Benny Davies was very impressive as a ruck rover.
