go hawks!!!
Norm Smith Medallist
For those who could not attend training this morning, below are some quick notes. As for me, i will be in strife for rockin up to work late....but its worth it!
overall great session started at 9am and i left at 10.30 and it was still going.
started with drills with run and carry across the field, very good to see most players fit and raring to go
whitecross and birch on the bikes, youngy doing some laps....however, im scared abt young
stokes, burgoyne and tucky doing laps. stokes running real fast no sign of the ACL, has anyone got the full story with stokes? he seems to recover very quickly from a 12 month injury. burgoyne just joggin and tucky running but does not look that fit, had a huge strap on his leg
hodge: in the drills boy, was he going in hard.....looks at peak fitness, need to see his odds for the brownlow, if he keeps fit, play him mostly through the centre and rest in forward pocket, he can be very damging and assist the goalkicking reliance on buddy and roughie....can also use lewis forward
shoey- very impressive
lowden - watched him closely, he looks very mobile for his height and has heaps of potential, needs to add 15kg, will be raring to go in 2011
in the ruck group, i was not impressed with skippers ruckwork got beaten in the contest everytime
shiels looks great, as did muston, who i believe has done lots of work on his ball drop which is extremely important
hooper - very impressed with his attitude.....was encouraging and runnning hard all day
pieterson - for me he will be elevated, he looks fit and has trhat special talent to him
mitch - got a knock during the game and recovered
gibbo - looks good as did gilham
browny all good
i was looking for stratton in the game and just could not follow him, can anyone report on his progress
Goo - looks good as did everyone else
bateman - i did not see him train the whole session
sewell was doing laps
ellis - watched him, now we need a big season from him, i just don't know, he has been injury free but he is so light, i mean shiels is more built, i hope he can use his skill all year and build some more pace....we need him
laddo - done well saw his skills on display today
roughie- looks great
no renouf as we know
grimley - he tries hard but stuggled with skills as you expect, seems to have a positive attitude and is keen as mustard....needs to put on 15kgs this year and get very fit
shoey - as above, looked great during the game and was fit which means we can use him to run out of defence with gibbo alot
lewis looked ok
dowler - did not spot him much same as lisle
there was a real young kid there, maybe that was stubbs...the little blond kid, need to see his picture.
they are some quick notes and are just opinions for the info of those who could not come, please be free to add esp on stratton and lowden!
