Training - Friday 27 June, 2014

[Satyriconhome 10,879]

Reason why Georgiou is on the extended bench, looks like there is an issue with Tommy Mc, he had a compression bandage on his calf and did very little training, before heading back indoors, Chip also did work with the defence....so Roos looking at options.

Interestingly Riley, Salem, Barry and Terlich did a lot of work with the forwards, maybe for 'whoever' was watching, (I am sure oppositions are only interested in the midfield these days anyway, unless there is a gun halfback to look after), I lost Nicholson in this drill, but he was out there

I asked Paul Roos about Barry getting a game and he said maybe, asked Dom Barry himself, he hasn't been told anything, there was no announcement at training, so maybe just a bit of encouragement this time and he will be an emergency

I asked Nev Jetta about that first goal against Norths (as requested), the team rule if the ball is in that situation (ie in the pocket, inside the 50) is to get it over the line and out of bounds, this rule was not followed, then it was turned over and the defensive structure was not set, as they had been expecting to set up for a boundary throw in, this sounds slow in writing but in real time it all transpired in about 5 or 10 seconds, Roos wants them to be proactive rather than reactive but unfortunately if somebody doesn't follow the rules, it throws a spanner in, hence why after the first few goals, team went reactive not wanting to stuff up

The team received 2 sprays, a decent one at 3/4 time and the other I would assume at the review, Roos was 'bitterly disappointed' (my words) with the failure to follow team rules and structures

An interesting little highlight, in one drill Max Gawn was matched up on Ben Mathews, and he proceeded to knock him over, much to other players amusement, but in the next play, Mathews beat Gawn cold with movement and took an uncontested mark, gave Max a look as if to say "you have a lot to learn"......he spoilt it a bit by producing a horrible kick

Jesse Hogan was out early, still lap running, and some Casey players and MFC listed players for Casey this weekend, except the extended bench, trained before main group and finished about 10

Any questions feel free.

With that report, if McDonald isn't right I would like to see Gawn come in Frawley sent back. Leave Pedo as permanent forward, in doors roof closed Dawes, Pedo and Gawn can work

[beelzebub 23,383]

Heartening to know we have some very good teachers at the club

Sounds like Georgiou and Chip defending as you say. Not a bad combo

[Satyriconhome 10,879]

Couple of bits I forgot, Gawn worked with Jamar and Stafford and played forward in the drills

Slightly off topic, the 'over excited' new father assured me he would keep trying until he got a son

Hi Saty,

Great report again !What's your gut feel on inclusions ?

Also I am interested to know the body language of some of the players stuck at Casey. I would think that a number of players would start to feel that their cards have been stamped ( rightly so in some instances) and that the 2nd half of the year could be a grind.

[Satyriconhome 10,879]

Gut feeling is for once I have no idea, the Tommy Mc situation is a bit of a spanner, last week only Terlich trained with the main group and the rest trained with Casey, this week all of the extended bench trained with main group, perhaps Roos actually hasn't made his mind up yet, when I asked him about Barry, he did think for a second or two before saying 'maybe' so it wasn't a glib reply

The Casey group I only saw at the end, they were still all pretty upbeat, I would assume they will still have to perform under the Roos' regime, I am sure none of them would like the ignominy of Development league, I asked a couple of the 'helpers', it was a good solid session they did

Would like that. Dawes and Pedersen with Jamar/Gawn interchanging deep.

That combo worked well v Richmond n Bullies don't have a big KPB without Roughead.

Frawley isn't a overhead mark so Gawn is a great option.

I forgot there was an interested spectator at training, just looked like a jogger heading back from the tan, took me a second or two to realise it was Alistair Lynch, he still looks in great shape, had a good chat to Roos, Rawiings and Mathews before training started

[Maggot 1977 263]

It would be remiss of me to ask about Jesse Hogan? On another thread there was a topic of a contract extension any news on that front?

The only news is that he looks like he is doing everything asked of him by the fitness staff, has longs chats with them in between running the boundary, think he finished earlier today because last week think he [censored] himself off watching the team train

Did he reply?

[Satyriconhome 10,879]

Que?...that is his reply...ask Nev a question and you get a really good answer...

Am I the only one that couldn't give a toss about Lynch? He was heavily involved in the $cully situation, and was just as crooked in the whole situation.

Lynch can gof huck himself for all I care.

Other than that, thanks for the report.

Thanks for the report.

[dees189227 12,398]

[Yossarian 1,820]

There's gonna be some swearing at the tv this weekend.

I thought you should be thanking him. He did us a great service.

[Satyriconhome 10,879]

The Demon Army present had Roos' birthday covered, seems Roos' answer to me was pretty straight, was going to make Barry emergency but had to check on Tommy Mc first, there is a whole new regime there now, you ask a question, you get an answer, don't think they really care about any ramifications, the Welsh tirade and Allison's reviews being examples..

Did the former PM call him a misogynist ??

Who does Lynch manage these days? Any chance he has Shiel on the books?

Probably has Frawley on his books!!
