Training - Monday 13th February, 2012

I have been to one training session at Casey, the windy monday morning one about 3 weeks ago. The forwards were practicing whilst under defensive pressure and Flash was being coralled closer and closer to the boundary. 30m around from goal he baulked his opponent and slotted the goal. Through the air it was never in doubt. On a degree of difficulty it was as close to impossible but he made it look simple. I was leaning over the fence no more than 3 metres away at the time.

I have no idea how Davey will go this year but I love hearing training stories like this

Same for this one below from a training report on"Ology by George-on-the-outer

"Really, really interesting was at the first break. The whole group brought together to gather breathe and drinks. Jack Watts singled out. I think it was Brian Royals booming voice that could be heard all around the ground as he threw Jack the ball….” Its Queens Birthday weekend, you have the ball and kicking for goal to stop Collinwood going back to back, it’s all up to you Jack….” With other coaches shouting at him as he came in to kick, and the rest of the players standing around with expectation, he slotted it from the 50m."

I also very much enjoyed hearing Morton doing well recently and stories of McDonalds fitness for a someone 194cm tall is exciting. There is lots of time to find out if he can kick and mark

It is the time to believe and dream and I'm all for it.
