Mega Thread TRAINING REPORTS

[DOCKERZ]

J. Simpson hss joined the main training group ppl....

 

[DOCKERZ]

Is Taberner, Michie and Simpson in the AFL group? Thanks

Tab and Michie no, Simpson just called over to join in.

 

[ilikepotatoes]

Tab and Michie no, Simpson just called over to join in.

So likely to be Simpson for Walters, interesting.

ARGGGHH I SWEAR IF SIMPSON GETS A GAME BEFORE VIV... I'll actually be furious. Give him a game for Mzungu or something, reward for effort!

 

[sumavich]

RTB said in his presser that Michie needed more time to work up game day fitness, he also said Silvagni wouldn't want to play any more games like he did last week.

Therefore : Simpson in, and Silvagni keeps his spot (just)!

 

[Simmofreo]

So awesome to see mora doing laps and light sprint work !!!

 

[Ghost Pig]

So DOCKERZ what has happened in the last 42 minutes?

 

[DOCKERZ]

Bit of match simulation, Mundy left the track early rubbing his head looking crook, but will be ok.. figure just a head/neck clash
Last 3 guys on the track, Mayne, Scos and Ballas doing goal kicking..

 

[DOCKERZ]

Lachie out late doing some run throughs.
Sandi also out doing some walking and very light jogging..

M. Walters busy signing indigenous jumper for DOCKERZ

No sign of Suban or Pav.

I agree, i'd actually be quite annoyed. Token game because its indigenous round............

The only way I can really rationalise it is that it's like for like - someone who can play small, nippy fwd pocket in for another. Because Ross doesn't just gift games until they've been earnt.

 

[DOCKERZ]

Home now, thought I'd add a little more since it's easier than on the mobile..

Talk of D. Pearce still learning the game plan is spot on. During the wing to wing, red bibs vs yellow bibs exercise, RTB stopped mid-play 3 times, twice to pull D. Pearce up on his positioning, and another for Hannath..

Balla's was pulled aside from the main group at one stage for some one on one work, on yep.... collecting ground balls.

The kicking during the field long circle work was really very good (scoreboard side at least) Clancee's kicking in space is bloody fantastic live.

Mayne, Scos and later Balla's did some high flying work on the marking bag.

Tanner Smith was working on a goal kicking routine similar to Mayne's.

Mayne took a fair few shots 35-40 minimum angle and TBH a few of them were not what we've come to expect from him in the last 18 months.

Simpson did a couple of nice things (one touch/grab) in the match sims, but got caught with indecision at one point when the easy option was a handball over the top.

Not much more to add other than from attending one session this week it looks like being,
OUT: Walters Suban (inj??) IN: Crozier Simpson

Can't see Silvagni being dropped this week.

On the coaches? Suma nailed a torp from outside the boundary line in the pocket, where the exit gate is, and RTB spilled a speccy on the Marking bag.

Hi Dockerz, I decided not to chance training today just in case they were at Subi Oval like the last home game.

How did Crozier look today and was he with the main group?

I take it that Subes has a niggle?

 

[doberman]

I hope my buddy is not injured. But if he is it means Viv should come in! Can't see Crozier or Simpson replacing Suban's role.

Harry we missed you, Crosier looked fine,didnt sight Suban,Clark trained on his own then joined the match sims,Michie and Taberner only with the WAFL group,Simpson trained with the main group but looked a little overawed,I noticed Johnno having a long talk with him
Mora ran laps with Jesse and Pav was out very early,its all looking great heading into the after bye games

Hey Salim, any idea of the distance or pace that Mora and JC were running?

Was it pounding out a steady 3k or the repeat sprints around the oval?

The steady kind Seppo,Mora had strapping on the knee but showed no sign of discomfort

Thanks Salim, who's your in's and outs of the final squad?

So if we for instance lost every forward in our forward line - you'd prefer rewarding a mid ahead of a forward? Interesting

I semi corrected myself (you will note) in post #611, where I realised that structure is > individuals being rewarded.

I guess I'm ok with it. Hope Simpson does well if he plays.

I thought you went today. I turned on Fox Sports News as soon as I got home from work and literally the first thing I see is you, Ken, Bluey and someone else I couldn't make out.

 

[Swan Districts Kid]

An unnamed source tells me Simpson is on the team list for East Freo against the State u18s tomorrow.

 

[Silent Alarm]

How many people train with the main group? The 22 and three or four emergencies? Or more like 30 blokes? Also, what's the difference in intensity or drills like? Negligible?

WAFL boys had a light run,theyre playing tomorrow,
AFL boys more intensive ,Sunday game,23 in the AFL squad

 

[DOCKERZ]

P.S. didn't mean to tread on any toes of our invaluable regular training reporters, got started about Mora running around and couldn't stop
