Training Training Reports and Updates

[Fat Jesus]

He hasn’t even had one training session yet. Probably a bit early to be going from your desperate want for him to be a pie, to a call of dud.

Sarcasm bro

 

[MooreDaicos]

Great call… I’m coming with you

Wish I was there, unfortunately I'm not fit enough to swim across Bass Straight and my jet ran out of fuel on the way to Maccas. I'm curious too. Let us know what you find out.

Jen has bassarou Faye been spotted at training at all, he may be our only hope for ruckman now.I must say I thought we must grab some of tall at the draft be they forward,back or ruck but no such luck.

I was hoping to get Verrall late or Knobel or anybody really, we may need the Roo to come on.

Get Skippy..

I think we will be OK for now bro, a few top 22 able to help out for ruck duties.
Cameron, Cox, Frampton, Krueger..

Faye a year or two away.

Ruckmen are great but can also be overrated.
Great midfielders read the play and make them look better.

 

[Bianconeri]

People don't like me talking about Johnson and his poor fitness, at least running wise. But Nick finished as he passed to do another lap of the oval. Even last season Johnson looked lazy. But suppose some people are better at some things, and not for others.
But its only day 1, so won't tear into him too much.

Bet you wouldn’t say that about Henry.

I can almost guarantee we’ll have a ruckman come in as a SSP selection over the summer.

Thanks very much, I saw him a few times on some of your training footage which by the is very much appreciated by myself as an interstate tragic.

It’s slim pickings isn’t it? Crossley feels the best at VFL level, maybe Boyd in the SANFL although he seems a touch undersized and Free out of the WAFL. The issue is I’ve genuinely got no idea whether the latter two are remotely AFL relevant. Perhaps Broadbent if we’re looking at an overlooked player or Naismith if we’d like someone recently delisted.

The way it’s gone we’ll probably stick with what we have unless there’s a hidden basketballer up for grabs as a cat B option. I’d personally take a look at Ely Smith or Jacob Dawson and I’m sure someone will float Stack at some point

 

[cityslick1]

We must’ve already spoken to Naismith or another delisted ruck. No way we pass at rookie draft and go into the season a ruck short

 

[The Royal Sampler]

One would expect Toby Murray to at least train with us given the connections he has to the club.

I’m pretty sure Free got rookied by North.

He might be a reasonable option. Thought he did ok in at least one game for us.

The draft hey!
We lose a top ruckman and an up and coming mid size forward.
So what does Hine do He picks a midfielder who could be good in a few years. He picks another skinny half back flanker and another project player who may be okay. Oh yeah we miss pick 30 and on trade to Carlton for a second rounder next year okay.

This draft was a good chance to pick a few kp players .Granted we didn't have top 10 pick but still around our mark .
We could have taken Hayes ( KP BACKMAN) In fact Hayes was expecting us to pick him,keeler (kp forward/ruck) Scully ( KP FORWARD ) Will Verall ( Ruck) just to name a few.

Oh well ,hopefully we pick up an experienced Ruck as we have another spot available i believe. We need back up if Cox and Cameron get injured we no good Mcstay and Begg not good enough to carry first ruck duties.
If Naismith is fit get him as back up or i would even consider Big Boy Macavoy purely as backup and an idea of becoming an ass coach down the track.

In Hine we trust or mistrust ?

Clearly we draft best Available not for list needs but we have enough mid sized forwards on our list so Henry wasn’t in need of a replacement. Hopefully we get a ruck through the ssp.

At our first pick, according to everyone in the know allan was a no brainer to take. At our next pick at 28 hayes was gone, there was no chance we were taking keeler or Scully at pick 28. So we took Ryan, and then traded 30 for a future second which given our draft haul next year was needed.

By our next picks, both Keeler and Lemmey were gone. Now if Scully was worth taking, rich who supposedly had interest didn’t even take him with a pick in the 50’s? Why?

We had no opportunity to draft any of those talls unless we overpaid. And we didn’t thankfully

Agree with the sentiment regarding our need for a KPF, I posted earlier this year about McEvoy as a good back-up ruck - there was mixed responses, some posters saying that McEvoy was cooked and in constant pain due to his neck injury.

Clearly Hine and Co. didn't rate any of the candidate 2022 Draft KPFs - time will tell who was right. Not sure about the motivation for a 3rd ruck - assuming that Frampton and Begg are not considered as simply rucks. Whilst it's likely that we're stuffed if we lose both Cameron and Cox, isn't that true for just about every position on the field? Last year we lost Roughead and Dean and we were stuffed, we're pretty well stuffed if we lose two of our best in any position. Without doing any analysis, I'd suggest that most clubs that lost its best two rucks would be in trouble. I'd definitely look at getting an experienced ruck in the MSD if we lost one of Cameron or Cox in the first half of the year - for the SSP, I've mixed thoughts - best young talent available (Gilbey, Szybkowski), best recycled player, or maybe a player that allowed our VFL team to most closely emulate the style of our AFL team - guess that leads us to .... a KPF!
