Training 8.12.08

[Sam the RAMA fan]

Awesome stuff.
Thanks for the report

Yeah,
I heard last weekend that Essendon had spoken to Cousins (About 10 days prior) about picking him up in the PSD. Ah well, atleast he doesn't get the #9 if he does come to Essendon.

I look forward to seeing the new boys in their first training session,
I am hoping a few of them get a go next season. Would be good signs if they did according to Knighters interview

Two curiosities:
1. How was Lovett?
2. How were the ruck stocks? (Bellchambers and Laycock)

Lovett trained well, took part in all drills and was good in the 3 on 3 drill.

Laycock was in the mod group and only ran laps at the start. Knights sayed in the press conferance that he was close to training but hoped he would participate soon.

Sorry can't comment on Bellchambers didn't notice him.

Good work Hirdy

where abouts in the uni do they train?

i go through Waterdale rd a few times a week for work

They were training across the road from the Bundoora campus, at the baseball fields just down from the main field.

West Entry of Kingsbury Drive? (turn left)

 

[Ben the Gooner]

Great stuff guys.

Does anyone know when they get back to Windy Hill?

 

[Merv]

Great stuff guys.

Does anyone know when they get back to Windy Hill?

Well we head off to our training camp next week, so my guess would be next year.

 

[slugger]

Great work Hirdy and Slugger just a quick question was Davey out there and if so what was he doing

Davey's now doing most of the work. Been doing it for about a week. Guys who have been in the mod group rejoined the mod group for the last little session.

 

[FandangoDingo]

Thanks for the fix guys. Much appreciated!

Thanks great work good to hear

Apparently Davey was running before the grand final, so he should have his fitness base up.

I was hoping to go to a session this month, but Bundoora is too far.

Windy Hill is too far away from me. Are most training sessions early morning?

That doesn't make sense as they have consistently said they won't recruit Cousins and I can remember reading an article with Lloyd recently where he reaffirmed we won't take Cousins and that it was sad that his career may be over now.

I hope we do pick him up.

Thanks for the training report Hirdy

 

[Colin D'Cops]

Have just talked the family into going to training next Monday, at La Trobe. Will be sure to take pictures and provide a descriptive report on what eventuated throughout the training session. Might not be up to Ant's heights, but I'll give it my best shot.

I remember heading down to La Trobe about 3-4 years ago watching the boys train for a series of training sessions, in which I eventually got all of the player's signatures on a nice red & black guernsey.

 

[Skeeta Olly]

Does anyone know if they will be training this Friday?

 

[Hirdy_5]

Does anyone know if they will be training this Friday?

I thought they trained every Monday, Wednesday and Friday but there is nothing on the club website to say they are for this coming Wednesday and Friday only details for next Monday.

Easy thing to do would be to contact the club.

Great work mate! Just a quick question, did Dempsey train or is he still injured?

I am fairly sure he trained, i walked past him afterwards and he seemed fine and didn't look like he was carrying any niggles.

Was thinking yesterday that your lot has recruited quite well over the last 2-3 years, especially in terms of your defence. Ryder, Myers (who I think will be a gun), Pears and Hurley (both can go fwd or back). This will be a pretty awesome backline in a couple of years.
