i think he's picked up one of those lurgies that are rife in hospitals....immune to antibiotics. It's probably eaten half his arm off already. Either that or leprosy

Darc is clearly susceptible to all sorts of nasty infections. I’m putting it out there that I’m willing to move in and dedicate my entire life, day in, day out, to ensuring the poor man is physically and emotionally cared for and well. Free of charge. I’m standing by the phone, CFC!

I have just seen this on FB about training today from Annabelle

Hump day training report.
A windless day and unblemished sky greeted the players for hump day training, though the ground and track abutting were pretty wet. Cleaners were abseiling up the AAMI stadium as the players emerged later then on previous Wednesdays and a media contingent waited patiently on the hill for the session to commence. The evergreen Pendles was first out closely followed by Crisp. It was an intention to divide the roll call by blacks and whites, the polar opposites usually being an indicator of the senior/VFL divide, however, following Wilson the first unlikely candidate donning the black, it turned out all were save for McStay. He still is sporting the hand guard but worked very hard on the sidelines with Richards who must have had a setback after completing all the main drills last week. Frampton joined this pair and he completed agility work in addition to a lot of running on the outer side of the ground. Kreuger looked fit and showed no ill-effects of a reported injury, completing everything, though he participated in goal-kicking practice during much of the last stint of modified match simulation. Pleasingly Howe completed most of the main activities but eschewed the contact drills/match play near the end of the session. He swapped to working on his endurance through running under the vigilant eye of a trainer.
The only notable absentee apart from Dean, was WHE who appeared to suffer an ankle complaint late in the match against the Giants.
As is customary, the early arrivals either trained independently or attacked the resistance elastics under supervision. After all had graced the arena and while the rest of the squad was doing their limbering up, coach and captain were engaged in a protracted conversation.
Once the long whistle sounded, the desultory kickers and those using different apparatus convened to the coaches’ area and then cleaved with three separate groups being the outcome of the discussion in which the first set of drills was outlined.
Two groups assembled at the John Cain Arena end, while one settled down at the river end to work with the elastic and cones. Wade obviously mixes up even the way they use the elastic and cones as today the players in that station attacked their routines at high pace and with vigorous movements. They progressed to agility work around cones, working in pairs, waiting for signals to commence their evading cones set. While awaiting their turn, they stayed at their opposite number like boxers ready to pounce, eyeing off their partner, while bouncing on their toes.
The other stations consisted of players working on close-in drills.
After the rotation through the various activities the whole group huddled and a resounding boom of affirmation emanated from this, accompanied by a round of applause.
Players then separated into four groups. One consisted of the putative ruckmen who stayed together through the rotations. Their focus was different from the rest of the group as firstly they were involved in an extended centre-square exercise which saw them practising their jumping to tap the ball to would be sharkers and a jumping bag was used here. The players were Begg, Cameron, Steene and Cox. Cameron was looking fit and sharp. This group then turned their attention to contested marking, though much of it was just marking as a solitary player. By and large the hands of these players looked sticky with a couple of fluffed opportunities.
The other groups were involved in skill work, with one lot of players using an extended area to complete passing of the ball with precision with the last outlet heading towards the goals. One group who were working on close-in skills were told that everyone had to have a turn on the outside.
After these rotations concluded there was another scream of affirmation and two groups emerged on opposite side of the ground and each indulged in whole ground ball movement with the emphasis on nailing passes to those running. Interestingly in the game against GWS this activity had appeared to pay dividends and it was arguably the most skilfully we’ve moved the ball all year as there was running in waves and crisp passes by hand and foot, sometimes at electrifying speed. When one sees the whole group in action and effecting this type of play it’s easy to comment on for example the athleticism and kicking skill of Will Kelly and it reminds all and sundry that there’s more to competing at the top level than a capacity to execute in a polished manner.
Like last week, the players seem to ‘disappear’ into an abyss only to re-emerge and break into two groups of mini match play. In both one half wore their black tops, while the alternate colours were lime green and mustard for those who appeared to be deemed as more likely to be missing out on a senior gig. It was interesting to note that Carmichael was in black here.
This then transitioned into blacks against a coloured vest traversing the whole arena with five players on the sidelined as the nominated bench who were rotated back on to give everyone a breather.
The final item on the menu was a modified type of match simulation using just both ends of the centre of the ground, thus the playing confines were narrow. At this point Cox withdrew from proceedings to chat to the trainers, complete some running and the leave the arena, though nothing appeared to be amiss.
Most of the players partook of this bastardised form of competitive footy though a few such as Beau, Josh and Kreuger, decided to hone their goalkicking skills. Match-ups changed a lot but some included Markov on Checkers and Ash for a brief period on Moore. As per usual many were travelling in cognito such as Josh Daicos sporting the #9 guernsey despite Noble wearing a cap with his pale legs conspicuous, also owning that number. Markov has taken possession of the #2 on training days, while JDG may hope he wears a cloak of anonymity with #43. Track watchers of course know better though. Much discussion among the latter surrounded who might be the sub, and how Darcy Cameron would be accommodated. With a bye in the VFL, there is no point reabsorbing walk up starts back into the seniors via this route. Will be interesting to see how the selectors try to maintain balance while in theory strengthening our team.
Just after leaving I encountered a gentleman wearing a black and white scarf striding towards the arena. When I told him training was petering out, he said that he was about to attend a meeting with McRae.

Hopefully an ex Pie player who can remind the boys of the rivalry & heartache Blues have given us over the years in case they need any extra motivation to totally crush them on Sunday.

Training: Round 10, Wed May 17th.

Cool but sunny morning. First time I wore two jackets, as it was 5 degrees, but with the sun out; the conditions made it a pleasant time to watch some training.

Absent players:
WHE
Dean * (Injured)

Rehab group:
Lippa (edging closer to full training)
Howe (progressing well, but sporting a support on his forearm)
Mcstay (status quo until he is able to see the surgeon and remove the brace)
Richards (seemed last week he had a set back in his recovery, abd with the injury report, that's true. He was out and did some running with the lads)

I totally forgot Adams was even out there, because he didn't do a whole lot, but sometimes players get managed early in the week, so not a real concern at this stage.

Skills session with work through tackling drills. Kick to a target drill is always one of their first fundemental drills.
Ruck work with Oscar, DC, Cox and Beggy in the middle. Sometimes adding some mids to help clearance work.
Others did goal kicking at the other end,
1-1 marking with the talls/rucks

After this part, Cox joined the rehab group and did some running.

They also some kicking inside 50
They finished off with some cross ground (little goal sticks horizontally across the ground, with the "centre square" placed in the middle. The teams would rotate between blacks, Green and orange vests. With a couple players in blue. - This sometimes was Ginni or Beau

There did seem to he an applauds for a player when they gathered in the middle, the obvious choice would be the return of DC and the news indicating that is the case.
