Other random notes :

• Mackenzie is training really well and is back to full fitness. Doing the runs he was in a group with masten, gaff, lamb and sheed who are all strong runners. Was always at the front of the group. Definitely wants to win his spot back
• hill continues to improve his fitness
• Mitchell's hands are so quick it's not funny
• Matty Allen is making some good strides forward and for a strong build is covering the ground pretty well
• it's a pity Tunbridge can't stay fit/has no football brain because he's an absolute bull. Really powerful body that would be ideal for crashing through packs
• Bayok is truly dual sided - did the goal kicking drill and kicked left and right footed without any noticeable difference in action. Does lack penetration in his kicks though as he was struggling to make the distance from 40m out
• Rotham has an awkward ball drop. Doesn't seem to affect his open field kicking but his set shots at goal were on the ugly side. Can also see it being an issue in congestion
• lamb continues to impress. Can't fault his work rate
• Gorters set shot goal kicking was surprisingly good - 40m out on a 45 degree angle shots were going straight through post high

For the benefit of Jootube who wants the eeyore report, bearing in mind it's preseason so nobody is training badly as such :

• Masten hasn't been particularly noticeable so I won't say he's struggling but there's a hungry group pushing their claims
• ditto Schofield who has a battle on his hands to ward off Mackenzie
• Nelson needs to improve his kicking if he wants to play in the midfield
• Brophy is a nice bloke by all reports but he's a class below the rest of the group tbh and with Gorter, Rotham and Watson all brought in playing a similar position he's got the job in front of him to last beyond 2017. From a list balance pov we delisted the wrong cat b rookie
• karpany copped an angry spray from simmo after ******* up a kick in his right - "if you can't ******* kick with your right, use your left ffs"
• Yeo still has decision making issues - full field drill working through a zone and he was taking too long to pick an option

Finally, there was more urgency in today's session and Simpson was pushing them harder. I think they've been easing into things until now but that's over - heard him say something like it's only going to get harder

Sounds like Mr Nice Simpson is dishing out some tough love.

GOOD

This is fast becoming a post training ritual - Mitchell tutoring Duggan. This time it was marking, turning and passing to a leading forward off one step which explains Darling being there.

He really is taking the young fella under his wing

This makes me so happy!

Duggan learning from Mitch is exactly what I wanted to see when we recruited him.

The King must be loving having someone teaching the mids how to direct a kick to the forwards as well.

I'd say it's most likely an instruction from our coaching panel (Simmo)

Possibly told Mitchell "You'll be coaching this kid in a couple of seasons and he's a big part of our future so spend X amount of time with him"
