Wardlaw looks like he’s thinking, I’m not sure what everyone’s complaining about, this is a sunny day in Manchester.

 

[Makeshift Park]

Wardlaw’s dad vibes just got another boost with that normal bloke tan-line he’s rocking.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Some lairy swimming trunks out there. What happened to black speedos? This used to be a working class club.

Fast Hands, Fast Feet, Support Run



A short, later start training run today.
Almost exclusively working on fast ball movement and support running. Lots of fast handball drills, 'running off half back' handballing to support. Short sharp 15m kicking drills and working on kicking to space and advantage rather than at the contest.

Every aspect of today was about hammering home the way they are expected to move the ball. Very little defense worked on today.

was running laps alongside CCJ and McKAy was kicking and leaping to mark the ball showing no signs of the injury. Certainly well on the way to a return to play (Good Friday??)

In other good news Brayden George was doing some goal kicking practice with the guys and snapped a clever one backwards over his head. He should be up an running soon.

Comben, Larkey and Stevo doing light track work then goal kicking. Howe doing some solo track work before joining the group.

Thats about it for today, not a lot to take pics of but here's a few just for the sake of having them.

Cheers

Track watch very much appreciated. Great photos and fantastic to see images of big Benny. The dream still remains to have them contesting one another on Good Friday!

Did sheez and GG do the full training

 

[berniemccarthy]

Take out Sheezel and Wardlow who were not there last year (which was my comment) and that is a very average list for a club that has been really bad for some time

Hopefully for your sake Sheezel and Wardlow are good because as I said, there is very little to show for the rebuild prior to that

That’s fair. None have come on as quickly as we would have liked. This year appears to be different thank goodness.

 

[Hojuman]

We are 2 - 0 and got Hawforn this week. Why are we training ?

 

[LuvtheKangas]

We are 2 - 0 and got Hawforn this week. Why are we training ?

Well, we were 2-0 in 2020 and shat the bed against a lowly (at the time) Sydney in a game we were favourites to win. We all know where it went from that point.

So, let's hope we're not underestimating Hawthorn.

Disgraceful to see Tom Powell legless less than 24 hours before a game.

 

[Lomas]

Cry into your cereal. I have some spare cornflakes if you need

How did the man drown in a bowl or muesli? He was dragged under by a strong currant.

Light week on track

I want us training every single ****ing day this week not waiting till Thursday

 

[The Nostradamus]

Do we ever train at night?
Without knowing the stats I'd say we play fewer outdoor night matches than anyone else, and it shows.
Our ball handling in those matches is atrocious, dropping uncontested marks and handball receives.
Sheezle is just out of juniors, he would have trained at night all last year, and he was among the cleanest with the ball.

Lols. Training is done before the PMs so they sit on the ps5 or play golf the rest of the day

 

[Makeshift Park]

If anyone is going along to training tomorrow, I'd be keen to hear whether there is anyone training with our forward line who looks like a stop-gap KPF replacement.
