Training Training Thread - News & Live Reports II

[Ischenko]

I was hoping to see a match sim to see if they would participate. Doesn’t look like that’s happening. McDonald, Dumont and Taylor ended up running laps while the rest are doing skills training. McDonald worked so hard. He’s now doing skills with the coaches. Looks spent. Such a good trainer

Was really noticeable when they were doing sprints how fit Dumont is - and how far Taylor is off that sort of fitness.(they were running together)

Yeah Dumont has always been a running machine.

Yeah Dumont has always been a running machine.

Nah, he became one after a few seasons of tireless work. He was pudgy when we drafted him.

He was pudgy but he still had good endurance.

Not suggesting he hasn’t put in the work to get better though

Drills? Thats not good enough, should be doing multiple full ground sprints and 50 laps of IndianFile then drills. Get them fatigued then run drills.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Kicking drill looking pretty clean today albeit no pressure

They looked clean for 40 minutes in game day. They arent fit enough.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Lmac looks good his top line speed stands out in these drills

 

[The Nostradamus]

Xerri and hall are clearly not 100% doubt either plays this week although both have now finally joined the full squad drills

 

[The Nostradamus]

Eddie Ford I like a lot just very strong and powerful In the tackling drills

 

[The Nostradamus]

Stevo stands out at training - easily most talented on our list atm

 

[hsquid]

Good to see them bringing the full match-day intensity to training.
