Just got to training, boys just finishing their warm ups and run throughs. Any other demonlanders here?

Great looking forward to the positive review......:0

First drill groups of 3 hand balling on the move evading two defenders. Movement and ball handling sharp, no dropped balls so far. Plenty of enthusiasm. Crowd of about 50 or 60 people have rocked up.

......any men in black with dark sunglasses talking to Jesse??

Not as yet. Second drill length of the ground quick transition hitting up a leading target from the wing handball to player running past, run and carry and kick to leading forward. Ball movement very sharp, good skills on show. Goodwin running the show, Roos unsighted, answering more emails perhaps?

Third drill, variation on the second drill but with pressure. 20 attackers versus 10 defenders and they're starting to butcher the ball a bit offenders include Daniel Cross, Christian Salem, Grimes and Howe. Shine coming off a bit now.

Sounds like they're drilling for Sunday then, 20 attackers Vs 10 defenders...

The dockers don't stand a chance!

Just practiced defending behind kick ins with a pressing zone defence. Pretty good pressure forcing quite a number of turnovers although the defenders were outnumbering the attackers.

We haven't tried 20 on the field at once yet...

you'll recognise them by the veil of negativity hanging over them

Why do they always practice with too few defenders? We never have the numbers in real games, so they should make them practice moving the ball while outnumbered. It would be far better training for real match situations and might teach them to cope with the pressure a little better.
