Training day

[Barry Schneider]

I went out to see the boys train.
It seemed a decent turnout of fans.
It was an easy session much like last year with most of the group doing a few laps,a few run throughs a bit of handpassing,goal kicking, and generally stuffing around with the footy.
It was good to see Micky O running so freely.He and Tadhg did some run throughs together.

A few including Doyle and Jolly went for a swim.
I didn't see Jude.A few of the boys went into the rooms very early so he might have been one of them.
It was interesting to see that even in a very light session there were many players with individual workloads.Whether it was running extra laps or not doing any running whatsoever.All very tailored to the individual.
Kirky,Mick,Goodes,Doyle,Jolly signed autographs and had a bit of a chat.
One fan asked Doyle if he was fit and told him that he had defended him against many people questioning his worth.Doyle was a bit put out but said "At least I am playing a Grand Final where are they?"

All in all much like last year.
Feeling quietly confident.

Awesome.

I wanted to go but i had my GF tickets getting sent through registered post so i had to wait around for the slip to come in the mail and by then it was too late.

Anyway, i saw some of it on the news aswell and they're all looking great. Cannot wait till Saturday.

i wanted to go. i had the opportunity to go but i didn't. why? i don't know, my mum wouldn't let anyway. I wanted cheer on for the team but there were quite alot of fans there to do the job anyway.

Go the Swanniess!
