Training - Wednesday, 4th July, 2012

Briefly;

  • Didn't see Colin Sylvia - only 'unexpected' absentee I noticed;
  • Jamar mainly running laps;
  • Jetta & Davey with main group, looking good;
  • Jones & Jurrah (??) with rehab group mainly doing sprints;
  • Rivers & Sellars not with main group either.  I think they went inside early after practising ball-handling on the boundary;
  • Magner & Couch separated from main group after half the session and were just hand-balling to each other on the boundary;

Bit of goal kicking practice at the end - not very impressive from a lot of the players.

Nicholson's attitude is always impressive in that there is something irrepressible that he brings to the team in training and on the field.  Jones is another who normally doesn't seem to have lost his enjoyment  just being there.  Watts has begun to look more serious and focussed but I suspect it might be because he cops  so much if he looks as if he's having a good time!  He was having a very serious chat with Neeld at the end of training. Good to see as I think they are the two most significant people for the MFC future.

Not the only talent-oozing pick 3 to miss a training session this morning :P

Will be interesting to see if Sellar comes up. Rivers and Garland might both return to defense if he doesn't.

I believe he went for a sleep-over at a mate's place ;-)

I like the Neeld/Watts.

Was Brad Green training with the main group by any chance?

Green was with the main group and trained with enthusiasm as always. While Watts was listening intently to Neeld, Bates was having a similar type of conversation with Neil Craig. Also, I wonder if Rivers is in doubt given that his was seemingly only a light training session this morning. Dave Misson was also doing some one-on-one training/assessment with Cook & Williams (I think that's who they were).

After being a regular at training, the fact that a few don't seem to do much is not an indication, at this stage of the season it is into managing, I have never managed to see the full squad train since the beginning of the preseason

Any scouts watching will have no idea either

Apparently this has been a common occurence for a number of weeks with Cook especially, probably to improve his pace and initial sprint off the mark

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full
