So aside from the knee injury to Tunbridge, the seriousness of which is TBA :
- No Waterman on the training track today, same as Friday. Naitanui the only other player not to put in an appearance.
- Rotham left training early but didn't look to be in any discomfort
- Barrass didn't do any running again but did some marking practice instead which was stopped when Nico called out something along the lines of that's enough, you haven't been well. Others like Karpany and Snadden didn't do the end of session runs either so maybe there's a bit of a bug going round. That's purely a guess though
- More contested drills today then previous sessions - there weren't anymore done after Tunners injury. That may have just been coincidence though.
- Rioli did very well in the contested work getting the ball out to a team mate
- Conversely Lamb copped a rebuke from Simpson for sticking one arm out at the ball
- Jetta voluntarily did some extra running at the end - looked like he had to ask permission from one of the trainers first though
- Venables didn't participate again but it looked like they were stepping up his running. He's a pretty fit looking dude and looks like he'll build up a strong body once he has a couple of preseasons under his belt
- Mitchell left training about 15 minutes before the rest so there was no after school class for Duggan today. (Mitchell has his brownlow thing tomorrow which might explain his slightly earlier departure)
Not much else of note to report without repeating myself from previous sessions
Gotta feel for Tunbridge - it won't surprise me if it does turn out to be an ACL, hopefully it isn't, because it's hard to see how he keeps his spot if it is. I still think there's a half decent footballer there and he's a good size but it looks like his body isn't going to allow him to find out what he's capable of. I didn't see exactly what happened but it just looked as simple as one of the other players taking him to ground in a tackle and as they were finishing up the drill the players started walking back to the middle Tunbridge was lying on the ground holding his leg
