Training Wed 30May

Recommended Posts

Got there around 10.15 and wondered and wondered if one of the horsemen had arrived in the form of bird flu. There were very few 'firsts' on the track with the exception of Jones, Jamar, Magner, Hodge and may be a couple of others I've missed. Anyway, it turns out that they hadn't been struck down, simply a matter of a shorter session due to the 6 day break. Makes sense given how tired they must be.

Stefan M wasn't participating with the rest of the remaining main group - being the Casey players who have probably had a bit of a rest. He was getting some one on one. Dunn, Green, Magner (training machine!), Hodge were practicing their kicking for goal with Leigh Brown and getting one on one guidance. Also being practiced in pushing off players and going multiple times. Also saw Dave Misson training Couch & Cook (I think) in sprint starts so there's obviously a feeling that this is an area for improvement. Honorable mention to Sellars, he certainly puts in at training.

Gysberts & Strauss were training with this group as well.

Finally, an A-Grade midfielder!

jimcor... I hadn't realised Hodge had jumped ship to be with us... can I assume you meant Howe? ;-)

You're right of course. I just slipped this in to see if you re concentrating. It might have been Brad Hodge trying his luck at a new sport having finally realized he was not going to be picked for the Ashes tour! I knew it didn't look right but went ahead anyway. Serves me right.

Ps he missed the set shot I watched him take. Glad he's got that out of his system as we don't want him doing that in a real game.

Just thought of another excuse, prescriptive text?????

Indeed, but I'm not sure that he's across his role (to say the least) and everyone says that big blokes take a while longer to develop. He's still only young and he's obviously seen as delivering something by the coaches. He's been pretty lucky (or should that be unlucky??) to get a good run in the firsts while Martin is on the sidelines. He might actually enjoy a some R & R in the twos for a couple of weeks to practice his skills.

It might have been Brad Hodge

He does a have a fair few runs on the board to demand a spot!

Hopefully Stef will be returning this week (seniors or VFL, I don't care) would surely push Sellar out on current form.

I think prescriptive text is predictive text but the rest of this thread I have to send to the de-coders.

Could it be that my 'predictive' text is being converted to 'prescriptive' text by my predictive text?

I went to the doctor for my speech impediment and he gave me a predictive script to get filled at the chemist

Not sure what he would like jimcor

Saw the pic in the Age today of Beamer handballing. But what made me smile was that the two players pressuring him were Viney and Gysberts.

While this year is bleak, I am looking forward to those two and Strauss featuring next year.

I'm getting dizzy! I guess we want contextual text.

The de-coders tried to send back their interpretive text but unfortunately they used perscriptive text too. I gotta lie down.

It would need to be consensual, contextual text. I wouldn't like it putting words in my mouth without agreement.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
