Hi All,

Went out and had a look at training this afternoon at Casey. All told including the warm up went 1 hour. I believe this morning was a much bigger session

Summary

Rehab Group - Bruce (looked quite proppy), Blease, Gawn, Bate, Dunn - Rehab group did a lot of running

Stationary skills group - Tapscott - just very basic tennis ball skills - overheard it maybe a hip keeping from training, hasn't trained for approx 2 - 3 weeks

5 min cameo stationary skills group - Watts

I have seen half a dozen pre season training sessions each year for the last 2 or 3 and the best thing about the rehab group at the moment is that all are on the way back and don't look too far away. Generally we still have people in moonboots or crutches this time of year.

As I said very short session with mainly handball drills and then a match simulation exercise (whites vs blues) which was geared around the white team moving the ball from defence to the forward line in waves.

I don"t have any fact but you could sense that maybe the guys in white were the team for the weekend. I will do my best to remember who was in it.

Whites - Jones, Green, Mc Donald, Miller, Bennell, Jetta, Morton, Jurrah, Davey, Frawley, Warnock, Rivers, Maric, Strauss, Spencer, Jamar, Moloney, MacDonald, Grimes, Sylvia

Highlights of the session - 1. - Even though he was in the rehab group Blease looked like he is really coming along. That was about the 6th session I have seen and he did more then ever before. His sprinting looked really good and he did do some kicking drills as well which I hadn't seen before.

BUT THE NUMBER ONE HIGHLIGHT WAS GARLAND DOING THE WHOLE SESSION WITH THE MAIN GROUP. WOO - HOO

Short and sharp session but if you have any questions fire away and I will do my best to answer them

It was mainly Miller and Jurrah.

Morton pushed forward on a few occasions and was found as well.

On reflection I don't think either Meesen or Johnson were there at all. they certainly didn't come outside anyway.

Yep all three trained. Nothing spectacular but they were no different to anyone else :-)

Thanks mate, They must have pulled up ok from the weekend. I cant see how they could leave out Trengove for the weekend.

who's this Garland bloke?

apparantly he is this guy we drafted that can play either end of the ground in key positions, in defence on bigs or smalls, and up forward can take a nice mark and an ok shot at goal.

i hope this helps :)

Great report demonwithin. Thanks.

Did Davey appear unhampered ? Did he train freely ? (ie. no concerns from the weekend).

I like your view on the rehab group and quite pleased with Blease's report.

I reckon he is an interesting one HT. He was wearing the bike shorts which he has done since a scare a couple of weeks ago. He only played a half on Saturday

My gut feel is he has a little niggle and that has reduced his intensity at training. I have no doubt he was flying before Xmas.

I personally wouldn't play him Sunday.

Good to read that he trained though. A trip to Perth.....maybe a niggle...maybe tightness...I'd agree with you, wouldn't risk him if it is indeed a niggle. Thanks again.

I read somewhere, (think it was 'ology a few days ago) that Tapscott had a crack in his hip bone or cartilage..

Havent heard anything since tho.. only about his family situation.

Has anyone thats been to training recently seen him run? Do normal sprints and endurance etc..

Or has it just been tennis-ball stuff the whole time?

Martin blue or white? How did Aussie go?

Thanks for the report.

Martin was in the blue ( i was surprised and it may kill off my theory that the whites were the team for Sunday !)

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
