Ah just on Ziebell

I know there's been some consternation about whether he's right for the defensive side of things, but watching closely today he seems to be fitting in quite well. He's very vocal and he's clearly done his homework about what it looks like for him back there, because he's ordering players around, organising the defensive positioning etc. He played on Fordy for a bit who did bugger all. Offensively the white team tried to switch the footy and move it around the backline a bit more and his kicking was fine. Didn't notice any ultra turnovers and he was picking people out nicely. He took a few kickouts and the plan was clearly to monster it out of the area which he did as well.

I don't see why he can't do it. If he's not playing on an 18 year old smart coaches will probably just drag him to the square and force him to play one out which may present an issue. But I'd hope Noble and co are working on a plan to avoid that happening. He simply isn't as bad an option down there as people seem to think

Given the first team was white, maybe we should have put jz in blue and see how he goes with ct cz tt etc as they would pose more issues than Ford at this stage

For mine it’s not that he’s a bad option in defence but with no brown we need Ziebell as a marking option forward more

Sounds like with larks skinner and xerri we have sufficient marking fwds?

I do believe Harry Jones is training with us; looks like an ex-* rookie. Looked really nice and did some eye opening things.

Ex-Hawk, has signed with our VFL side.

 

[Horizons_00]

Great reports guys!

If Garner went off injured in the first praccy match in 2021 imo he is 100% done

Doubt all 3 of those play

 

[Val Keating]

Thanks Flawed Genius . WiPhi playing HFF is a surprise. Doesn’t seem suited to that at all imo. He’s a pure mid.

I do too.... most like it will be 2 out of the 3 with cz the 3rd

Corr down injured already? I hope its not bad...

 

[giantroo]

Corr, who crossed to Arden Street from Greater Western Sydney as a free agent, ran laps on the sidelines after a calf tweak but is expected to return to full training next week.

[New_Roo]

There are two Harry Jones - one is still on *'s list (KPF). Is this the ex-Hawthorn rookie?

One is at *, the one they traded up with us to get....

Corrs already done a Calf?

 

[Caracas]

I wish we could have a stickied thread for the off season that just had training updates with only related comments eg how is so and so tracking.

Where would the fun be in that?

Corr down injured already? I hope its not bad...

He was running laps at a solid clip with Perez and McGuiness so I’d say it’s not too serious.

 

[Passmore]

As I said up the thread, every Friday is an intra club now.

Where's my poster of the year vote?

I gave you a vote but then deducted a vote due to your rain prediction.

The match up is going to be key. If we can manage it, then the move will be ok. Teams will be trying to expose him.

Would join... in fact I’d probably spend just as much time on that.

 

[Passmore]

Flawed Genius I’ve seen 3 session, you’ve likely seem much more than that. If I had to pick 1 new draftee to play right now, I’d go Lazarro. How have you seen them?

Yeah, lack of a Weather type board is noticeable.
