Pie 4 Life
Hall of Famer
I went down there this morning and checked the boys out while taking notes so here we go:
- They were over an hour later than expected before they came out, but were really pumped up
- Mick was having a few words to Daisy before training
- Players went into stretches and Wakelin seemed a bit sore at first, not being able to complete all the stretches
- Buckley and Rusling were absent
- They then split into two groups up each end of the centre square and side handballed in pairs until reaching the other end
- Holland, Richards, Thomas and Wellingham looking very fit
- Then they broke into two groups again and started kicking down each end
- Intensity was good
- Then they swapped ends and did it again
- Harry needs a shave
- They then got into four groups and did cross over handballs around the centre square
- Martin Clarke looked really confident and had good skills
- They got closer in and then went right back further
- Maxwell was on fire, absolute brilliantly doing everything well
- Tyson Goldsack impressed me
- Wellingham had good leading and marking
- Davies seemed a bit slow but had good hands
- Half the group split onto the other oval (Davies, Clarke, Egan, Reid, H. Shaw, Cox, Wellingham, Illes, Nicholls, Macaffer & Brown)
- Main group did full ground kicking while the other group (mentioned above) did group handballs
- Pendlebury was outmarking Medhurst on the lead
- Licuria seemed comfortable at kickouts and had some good clearances
- Fraser and Richards seemed about equal at the ruck situations
- Burnsy snapped a good goal from the pocket
- Rocca and Medhurst both missed long range shots while Holland ran in to 15m out and scored
- Fraser doing some great roving as well and had a pin-point pass to Cloke
- Clement was kicking in up other end and was doing it well as usual
- Malthouse telling players to direct kick-ins
- Rocca kicked a long 60m goal
- They practiced throw in situations
- Pendlebury kicked a suberb goal from 55 metres out on the run from close the boundary line
- Rocca dropped an uncontested mark in the goal square before taking a contested mark on a lead
- Dick kicked a good goal from 30m out
- Rocca's mini-side won 5.1.31 to Medhurst's side 0.1.1 only reason i say that is because Medhurst scored that point and weren't sure of the exact teams
- O'Bree looked in good touch
- Malthouse lead group up other end
- More ruck contests
- Other group rejoined them
- Holland seems to be faster than last season
- Smaller group was taken by Brad Gotch and did some kicking drills which saw Reid in the goalsquare leading out while the others kicked to his lead
- Toovey talked to a trainer for a bit
- Rocca was having separate set shots - about 50-50 accuracy
- Session finished and Didak seemed to cope fine with the whole training session
Sorry about the layout. Any questions feel free to ask.
