- During the interval running Bolts ran over to Rowe and told him his heart rate wasn't high enough, I found this pretty interesting.
- Weitering was running pretty slowly to position at one point and I think it was Bucks who yelled '******** run Weitering!'
delist. Players should work their arses off without being told.

The full Carlton list trained in front of the Navy Blue faithful on Wednesday, ahead of next week's training camp on the Gold Coast.

Here's a selection of pictures from Carlton Media:

Excellent excellent pics! They're just such good boys, good wholesome boys, sweet sweet boys, you can see it. Or as my late mum would say "the best number one boys in the oostralia".... not like those Richmond ferals...

Well I am going to say it:

I preferred when the reports were in this thread.
I actually only logged on to post my appreciation to our mods for creating the other thread.

Perhaps reports could still be posted in both?

Sitting down with a cuppa just now to read back-to-back training reports without having to sift through pages of discussion is a massive treat. Great job super-mods :thumbsu:

Switching between threads is annoying and makes quoting harder than necessary.
They are all in this thread except zee's.

I've copied some from here into the other thread.

You can easily copy training reports into here exactly like we do with the Bluemour File into the Bluemour discussion thread.

Haha, you'll never keep 'em all happy Aph!

I'm loving the reports though guys, awesome stuff, I love the story about Bolts having a crack at Galluci, but then encouraging him after as well, great to hear !!!

Also called in today for the first time this pre season and was happy with the effort and energy.
The only player I was disappointed with was DVR who in the 12 minute walk, jog, run and Sprint exercise fell off the pace. He also regularly missed targets by foot and I believe he has a lot of work to do to stay on the list beyond 2016.
Loved seeing both Curnow boys racing each other to a mark looking like they could have been in the back yard.
Impressed by Wright, Galluci, Gibbs and Thomas who was a front-runner all session.
This cant be correct. I know for a fact that Thomas's ankle is ****** and he can hardly walk PLUS he came back fat. ALSO his shoulder is hanging merely be three pieces of collagen THAT WE DIDNT PICK UP before we traded him. OMFG what a **** up.....

They can exist in both Aphrodite in the same way the rumours do.
It's makes for a good hub and one we can look back on and maybe have a laugh about.

It was a good session because everyone contributed through training but also from the sidelines.
Just a good feel amongst the group and I hope it stays that way. The gap between the top talent and the newbies is somewhat more compact and seems to bring the guys closer together.

Not many links that break down through drills............nice to see.

Keep both threads! Saves time for me as I share reports to people not on the BF forums - because you know it's all about me :cool:.

These people do appreciate the reports though. They reckon they are more enjoyable to read than any other media content out there.

Keep em coming :thumbsu::footy:

Just a little aside to the training itself:

There's a lot of video going on as well as a sound guy involved.
Seems to be more than just for review purposes. Anyone know of what may be going on?

It's for a new reality TV series, commissioned when Mick was still in charge. It's called:

I'm a Carlton footballer, get me outta here.

Someone asked about Gallucci, he got don't argued to the ground by jones in one drill and bolton was filthy with him, he singled him out and showed him how to tackle properly for a guy his size coming up against a bigger opponent. Bolts said something like 'dont ever get embarrassed like that again'. It was harsh and he probably felt like crap but he learnt the lesson as the rest of the tackles stuck. Bolts pulled him aside after the drill, put his arm around him and had a few kinder words, good to see that as i think if Bolts had left it Gallucci probably would have dropped his head for the rest of the day.
.
Wow :eek:

Love what I'm hearing about Bolts though. Clearly tough but fair and has a balance to his approach. Like any good teacher.
