Yeah, quite possible.

 

[Fat Jesus]

Yeah, quite possible.

If running on grass wearing footy boots was the way to go in the Olympics..

Sorry this being late, I had a few things on yesterday. I also acquired a decent sunburn on my face that I felt like I was on fire, then there was the draft etc.


I put the blame of my sunburn from having to wait 3 hours for training to start.
Got there close to 9, then was told they wouldn't be training til around 12. Looks like they were doing Gym, lunch then training. Given they did the 2k, you'd imagine Lunch should have been post training haha.

Not too many seniors turned up, but the list included.

• Bianco
• Josh Daicos
• Noble
• Pendles
• Wilson
• Cameron
• Kreuger
• Macrae
• Draper
• Kelly
• Ruscoe
• Sidebottom
• Reef
• Murley
• McCreery
• Nick Daicos
• Harrison
• Howe
• Begg
• Johnson
• Dean
• Carmichael.

All 4 recruits. (Hill, McStay, Frampton, Mitchell)

Given that players were wearing different numbers -- Michell #3, Pendles #30, Carmichael #2, Nick #5, I'm not putting too much stock into the fact McStay was wearing #11.
No other recruit was wearing any numbers. Maybe tomorrow we'll get a better idea if he is wearing #11 again.

There was a warm up, then they did the time trial.

This is the top 10



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.

A few boys seem to have put on some muscle over the off-season.
Draper
Harrison
even Murley looks a bit bigger.

I've heard Draper put on 6-8kg
7kgs for Harrison






McStay thinks this was a solid session, but it felt like a light session to me. Not sure what they've been teaching him at the Lions; but there is a big summer of pain coming, he'll ache for days like this.

Dan McStay did say on the club social media that they did things differently up north. My guess because of the warmer weather they would probably do very little.

 

[Mollythedolly]

How many didn’t turn up? I know Coxy is in Darwin but who else. Do the other players look down on those who don’t come back early, seems like peer pressure would be big in a club.

Only the 1-4 year players are required to be back in training thus far afaik. More senior players next week I think.

 

[Mollythedolly]

Daicos spotted in 5, McStay in 11.

Can you be more specific. Nick to wear 35 has already been confirmed hasn't it.

 

[Mollythedolly]

Oh my, and here I was being told how important the tradition is for 1st draftee to wear it. Can we break the news to Ed Allan gently.

 

[KinderSmock]

Can you be more specific. Nick to wear 35 has already been confirmed hasn't it.

He was wearing 5. Just 5. No 3 with it. But alternate news has since broken. Boys tricking us.

Yeah, probably. Bit of a rude shock that wont be the case here.

Pendles wore 30
Carmichael 2

 

[WakeUpPies]

You know you're old when the first thought that enters your head is ... "But Dale Thomas didn't have to wear 35?"

 

[Fruit]

I read somewhere that Josh Carmichael came 3rd in the time trial. This is huge news.
I thought he showed some promise last year but didn’t look up to it fitness wise.
If he has improved this much with his first full off season I think the upside for us could give us an unexpected boost in the midfield.

 

[Rhysoid]

Thanks for the training videos Jen2310 can see that Carmy and Tom Mitchell were well out in front in that suicide drill. It seems like Carmy is really building his tank to the point that he is one of the best runners in the group (off small sample size and pre-season training).

Hopefully Titch can teach him a thing or 2.

Pre-season, week 1. Wednesday. November 30th.

lt was a morning session today, and a lovely day for it as well.

A few extra players in attendance, and some not, from Monday's session.

Players at training:

• Lippa
• Bianco
• Noble
• Wilson
• Adams
• Cameron
• Macrae
• Draper
• Kelly
• Ruscoe
• Reef
• Murley
• McCreery
• Ginnivan
• Nick D
• Harrison
• Howe
• Begg
• Johnson
• Dean
• Cox
• McStay
• Frampton
• Mitchell.

+ Mitchell, Lippa did a big session of running after the warm up. Mitchell having issues with his hip? We know Lippa is recovering from his shoulder. but it was pretty decent session by both.
Adams joined them later on, but Adams completed half the session of drills. Just not the match sim yet.

McCreery did a couple brief things with a trainer, but that was about it.


There was work focused on 1-1 contests, stoppages, a handball drill where it was a hot ball, you had to get it out of congestion.

Frasier was doing some ruck work with Begg and Cameron. Seems like Cox playing more forward, while chip hit the ruck around the ground in contests.

Anyone know when St.kilda starts training. I have to see for myself if the rumors about Keeler not being able to complete a training session are true. I just can't let go

I read it on one of the other forums on here. From memory it was some dude from Adelaide who seems to know what he's talking about. I just can't remember which thread

If you put a whole heap of freshly cooked sliders at the finish line, I reckon one will kill the other before the finish

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.
