Very pleased with this pic - Edwards seems fine - no bandages on the hammy!


Smokin Joe and Cloke - i am in full support of this guy.



Ahem... Carrazzo.


Our speedsters






Gibbs and Ackland




sexysquad.com - thank you guys!


By the look of the pics, they were doing a bit of body-on-body work, such as wrestling or something. Good to see!

Thornton getting the better of Fev? Great pic this one - look at Murphy's face!


Fullmont101 - how was Fev today? i noticed in a few of the pics that he was caught under the ball, and Tbird beat him to it. All ok?

Thanks to www.sexysquad.com - I rely on these guys and their pics week in week out to make me happy and provide a bit of positive stuff about our Blues!

Too true Fullmont101! He's got loads of... talent... in those arms

Also, Michelle over at csc took these, and said i could put them up - just a nice pic of the guys with the tackle bags, Murphy and Scotland coming off the ground, and Gibbs and Jacobs - what a big unit he is!

Have to be honest, I didin't make it to traning today, all the hard work was done by Paully aka Italian_Styles (SexySquadren).

But from going to a few traning sessions, I would not worry to much about Fev. He is traning just as hard as everybody else.

A few of those pics are step by step, so he may have been caught out once and 3 pics have been taken at that 1 time. (Thanks to Paully's new hi-tec cam)
AND/OR, it is a drill as you can see Murph at his feet waiting for the crumbs and Simmo aswell and he has the crash bag.

 

[OEGB]

is jake doing a full preseason with carlton.
Does anyone have any idea.

 

[blues2007]

Can anyone who has been to training tell me how Grigg moves on the field. i reakon he will be a smokey to play a fair few senior games for us next year...has anyone noticed him at training?

 

[Quazza]

can anyone tell us how Cloke trained?

 

[Jeremias]

IIRC he tweaked a hammy recently, but looks fully healed.

He has bulked up without losing pace, and has been training pretty well from all reports. I think we will see him play in the NAB Cup, and I think he will play a few games during the season.

 

[HBF]

Great pics guys. Gee, hasn't Carrazzo bulked up since the season finished.

I think he meant Jake Williams, not Jake "The Snake" Edwards.

AFAIK, JW is doing the pre-season with us and maybe play with the Bullants for 2007 as a VFL listed player. Same goes for TJ. Whether they themselves choose to do that is another matter.

 

[Mentallo]

Great pics!!
Keep up the good work.

 

[Mentallo]

Enjoy people.

Guns look great.
The million dollar question is where did the kick go?

A note on carrazzo.

Was reviewing a game the other day and (either melbourne or hawks, think it was the second melbourne game), and carrazzo really stood out. For some reason I see carrazzo and bentick competing for a spot, and Bentick was although getting the ball really costly, turned it over, wasted or was uselss. (not ruling the guy out). Carrazzo looked good.

Dont want to get on benticks back, so I might review him find some positives.

But yeah, carrazzo and "the hammer brothers -- sledge and jack"

Bentick and Carrazzo play completely different positions, so there is no way they will be competing for the same spot.

 

[Bluebear]

I know lots of people asking questions on how well guys are training.......so thought I would add another

Can anyone tell me how well Saddington is moving? In the pics I've seen he doesn't seem to have the knee strapped (which I wouldn't expect for a cartilage injury anyway).

I know most supporters bag him, but if he has gotten over his knee he may be a bit of a wild card for next year - releasing Lance a bit etc.

Thoughts?

 

[HBF]

I think that is a reasonable point BB, but still the big query over Saddington is his knee injury.

If he can have an injury free preseason, he could really be a wildcard, just as BB pointed out.

 

[BlueFeaver]

If Saddington can play down back, this will allow Lance to play forward and back as he pleases.
The backline would have good structure with Thornton, Carlos, Saddington, Bower, Scottland and Russell.

Sandington should only get a game if one of our bigger defenders gets injured, just like cloke = list filler

Therefore NO CHANCE

Saddington is a bit better than that. Was in Sydney's best 22 until he did his ACL & was an emergency for their 2005 premiership side in his return season from his knee reconstruction. Unfortunately he had complications with his knee during pre-season last year & like most players who miss a significant amount of the pre-season, could not catch up the lost time & succumbed to injury again (note Jarrad Waite also missed a significant amount of the pre-season & then followed it up with an injury riddled season). If Saddington can get through this pre-season unscathed he will have an important role to play in our defence, allowing the likes of Bower, O'Hailpin & Austin to develop at a realistic pace.

Agree, he was a very good player before his injury - I highly doubt he'll ever get that form back now, but he can still be decent if his body's right.

Carrazzo >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 200 times >>>>>>>>> Bentick

 

[blues4flag]

Carrazzo >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 200 times >>>>>>>>> Bentick

Neither has shown enough to safely claim that they'll be part of our team in the long run. Both have been decent, but also have to improve to keep their space in the team, which given their young age and less than 50 games each, I'd expect both to improve, however Carrazzo, although he has shown more than Bentick, is two years older, and if Bentick can get some consistency in his game, he could be decent enough. That said, it's not like they play in the same position; they're not competing for the same spot. Bentick's an in an under midfielder, Carrazzo is a defender.
