Training today

[King Woodie]

I went to training today to see the boys.

There was a lot of touch touch drills (lanework, quick hands, etc) and then a full ground match practice drill which was effectively an intraclub but with the coaches dictating the starting point for the ball.

Some points for discussion.

- Jolly completely outpointed Wood in the ruck. This bloke is a good pick up for us.
- Fraser played in the forwardline and took some good contested marks (against Leigh Brown). Looked pretty good down there.
- Dawes and Reid had a good tussle at CHF / CHB. Reid can read the play extremely well from CHB.
- Ben Sinclair may be tough, and he may be quick, but unless he does a lot of work, will always have problems as a footballer because of his kicking. Not helped by a poor technique.
- Expect Sharrod Wellingham to play as an attacking half back this year. Was also taking most of the kickouts (with Heath Shaw).
- Simon Buckley is an excellent kick of the football, and it about as big as Dawes.
- Rusling did all the touch drills (and looked good) but then did just run throughs and not the match simulation. Same with McCarthy and Presti.
- Nathan Brown is a very good kick of the ball when he decides to place it rather than belt it.

No Suprise Jolly is beating Wood but Also it's good Practise for Wood to against Jolly every week at training.

How did Dawes go at CHF?

You are saying Sinclair is a Poor Kick?

Rambo Disposal Problems are Descion Making not his Kicking.


I am going on Friday and I should have Photo's and some Video's

Fraser took some contested marks?

Well, I'll be dammed.

 

[HFF]

Biggest plus and relief for me is The Rus.

Also, good to hear Josh is in full-training and Reid at CHB.

I remember last time Dave promised us photos from training. Major lulz, anyone else remember it?

Using Wellingham down back would be a mistake imo.

Thanks for the update.

Yes lmao we got the one no one but Dave considered important.

Also wellingham played hbf versus Richmond last year and I felt he did well, I suppose everyone did well that day though

[Old Spice]

Thanks K. Woodie.

Did Buckley go alright, presumably as a backman?

 

[Old Spice]

Perhaps they want Wellers to play a Harbrow type role for us.

Perhaps they want Wellers to play a Harbrow type role for us.

Harbrow is a good shut down defender in his own right, if wellingham could play good offensively and DEFENSIVELY as good as harbrow I would be stoked. I have my doubts however

What Happened I Forgot?

You posed myspace style for the camera and uploaded that for us, but showed none of the players haha.

Good times.

 

[Pendles!]

I loved Reid at CHB today.. And Dawes is absolutely hugeee!
Also it was also interesting to see the difference in kicking skills between Mccarthy, and Cook and Barham when they were doing their own little thing.

 

[Nickelass]

Fraser took some contested marks?

Well, I'll be dammed.

Must have been against Jarryd Blair - oh wait, couldn't have been, he's the same height as Peter Bell.

How did Dawes go against Reid?

 

[DThomas]

Did Dale Thomas train today? Did Cloke?

Thomas a no show. The girl i was with was shattered! haha
I dont really know, i wasnt really watching dawes, more the midfield and reid

 

[King Woodie]

I should also add that I thought that Blight looked pretty good.

 

[spartan-magpie]

didnt you hear? rus has retired.. he's only training because his contract states he needs to give us 2 weeks notice.. so dont get exited, because rusling has retired due to career ending DVT..

LOLs

A bit like this Dave.

"I got you in my camera, I got you in my camera, a second of your life ruined for life." Sex Pistols.

 

[DThomas]

Haha, ease up on Dave; at least he didn't do one of those wanky mirror shots!

 

[smiddaz123]

That one wasn't the shot. It was one of those ones where you take a photo of yourself by holding the camera in front of your pace. I'd love to dig that thread up actually, it was gold haha.

 

[handy point]

Cheers for that report.. I'm getting pretty excited about both Buckleys at the club. Which group has Simon been training with?

 

[Antz]

I'm a litte worried that Dale Thomas didn't train. Hope he is ok.
