training report

[peejay]

Ok guys and girls, just back from watching training at the "G".

Richo trained with the main crew and moved well, every now and again he seemed to have a bit of a slight limp but having watched Richo all these years we have all seen that Richo limp. He went one on one with Vardy in one drill and came through ok with lots of attention from Royce

Houlihan trained with the main group and showed no signs of the hammy , so he should be back. Hilton was doing lots of high marking practice agaisnt the guy with bag on his back. Maybe he might go forward this week.

Ottens was on the track but did no work at all just some light handball stuff and standing about 10 metres from one of the coaches who was drilling passes at him (really drilling them) he did not drop one in over 50 i counted.

Draga was out there and was running around. Duncan looked good (expect him back). Marty McGrath had huge thigh strapping and limped every now and again - strangely he trained with the main group all the time .

Now the not so good news - Hall did not train, neither did Cambo Chaffey and Holand - they were all stripped and did the same handball drill that Otto did but all went off early - I would say they were out there 15 mins tops.

Oh and by the way - you gotta love the way Roden trains, it is so obvious he just loves footy.

P.S. Not sure why Chaffey was not training.

Hopefully with Chaffey it's just a bit of player management and giving him a light night on the track and that there is nothing wrong with him.

I wouldnt worry too much about the players that dont train that much.

Some players sometimes dont pull up too well after a game, and need the extra management. I would wait till friday night before you know whats up.

Good! That means that Sarge will probably get another run!

Did you see something in the 90 seconds he was on the ground that will keep him in ahead of Vardy, or will they drop someone else for Richo?
I got the impression they didn't really want to put him in this early but were forced to because of injuries.

According to the Sunday Herald Sun he got 5 minutes of game time!!! Time enough to lay 1 tackle!

No, I didn't see anything startling in his time on the field - I would just hope that he would get another game ahead of Vardy.

Let's face it - one is the future of the club and the other is just making up numbers for the time being!
