Training Training report

[Minz]

Shai showed “leg awareness” at one point during Saturday’s game - I thought he was going to come off the ground. As it happened he continued to play…..

I, too, am aware that I have legs

we're going to need that Walker closing speed for locking down the talented smaller forwards of the finals teams. Watched Wagner closely against Daicos when he sat in the forward line and (while he plays his usual role well) he is definitely not it.

Yeah, but will the fro slow him down?

 

[Spacedog]

So count out Switta and Pearce for this week but whilst Chapman has had lots of discussions with the rehab team he seems to be running and kicking fine.

Do you know if Wagner trained forward or back?

Good chance take Merrett for some the game

I hope he takes Merrett from the get go rather than wait until he does some damage.

Cant recall ever seeing a player so consistently showing leg awareness (like just about every game) or looking like he has a full on limp, just before twisting like an eel and accelerating to warp speed in the blink of an eye. Im still trying to work out if that is his standard gait or he has a minor injury or he is just foxing all the time.

Yeah, very sore at training was worrying that he might not be named.

Working around the midfield.

I reckon last week was about game time for Fyfe and not (obviously) in the midfield and this was preparation for this week. Where he will spend way more time in the middle against the Saints.

Doesn't sound like Pearce is gunna get up

Sounded like smoke and mirrors from the start. Sounds like Sydney game was always the aim and he might still be close to missing that

fully involved in the warm up drills with the main squad.

Swifta, Simpson and Sturt running on the outside of the ground not involved in the main warmup.

 

[freoextra]

Reidy and Brodie (wearing no contact hat) in main warmups.

 

[freoextra]

The defensive group are training together (8players) that is all of those from the weekend game plus Moose (including Banfield)

 

[freoextra]

Ollie Murphy doing very little outside the main training group.

Nice surprise Emma O’Driscoll and Stannett doing extra laps at the boys training what professionals!

 

[freoextra]

No sightings of Fyfe and Son Son the bad luck story continues.

 

[freoextra]

Simpson is marking without noticeable restrictions seems to be making a quicker recovery than Walker did.

Talking about Walker he was not training with the main defender group (probably a clue on non selection).

I do not hold out much hope of Sturt playing the rehab group are not doing much.

 

[freoextra]

Amiss in the no contact cap but that is not uncommon for him. He is working very hard on his leading patterns and has elite kicking skills. We must find a way of getting him involved again.

 

[Bigger]

You're a legend, mate.
