Training - Monday 16th November, 2015

Featured Replies

Jaysus, I thought this was a Training Post.

I apologise - they ran a great deal and not much else.

There you have it - a synopsis of AFL training in November...

 

No worries, happy to take you to the nets and work on a few things if keen...

Thank you for that kind offer, I must decline though as I am doing something that day unfortunately.

T minus 130 days and counting.........

 

Great report DM. Funny you mention about Oscar Mac because pretty sure i read somewhere that he is actually 198cm tall now and had a bit of a growth spurt when he arrived at the club. Next time if anyone can get a chance of oscar standing next to his brother he actually towers him a bit lol.

I noticed the height difference in a photo that appeared on Instagram just after TMac returned from overseas. Oscar looked a lot taller (certainly more than 2cm taller) but I couldn't be sure because it could easily have been explained by the camera angle or the way the two were standing.

If he has indeed grown to the 198cm mark and given he was recruited as a forward who can also play ruck (noted he's training with both backs and forwards), I wonder whether the fact that we have Oscar and Max King coming through the ranks would mean we are less likely to be looking at Sam Weideman or Harry McKay in the draft?

[That's not to say that I'm necessarily comparing these players on ability or potential]

You know it's the off season when one Instagram shot of backyard cricket starts a 7 page conversation about batting


I'm told they started this cricket game at 10am, Hogan won the toss and elected to bat. Much to the frustration of the others, he was still there at stumps.

There's NOTHING he's not good at.

Declaring?

Are you washing my hair?

 

Re-watched our last game of this year against GWS and the commentary team suggested Hogan's run up approach to goal was 'setup like he was going to kick on his left' - which could explain the stuttering approach as he walks in to manipulate himself to kick on his right.

shh Jack...thats heresy apparently !! :unsure:


kick left footed

throw left armed

bowl left handed

tennis left handed

write left handed

golf right handed

bat right handed

2 hands - right

1 hand/leg - left

Dad - Right handed in everything

Brother - Right handed - cricket & golf, handball and boucing ball - left handed

Me - Right handed - cricket and golf - left handed - handball and bouncing ball - right handed.

Have no idea how that came about!

Does he surf left handed?

Waiting on the surf report. That's next.

Any word on how Trengove is traveling?

No longer by scooter I believe.

Haw haw.

Any word on how Trengove is traveling?

He should be back with the rest of the senior boys on Monday. My guess is that he'll be working with the rehab group for a while, but that is purely speculation.


Nice big backyard, clearly not in a new estate/house!

Old house the fence looks 40 years old.

Old house the fence looks 40 years old.

probably a brand new fence, middy

that's what happens when king hogan knocks you about

expect a few kpd's to get premature greying of the hair next season

what, no training again today?

AFL footballers have it easy

Any word on how Trengove is traveling?

Apparently a right footer, but throws left handed, bats right handed with an average of 42 and plays golf as a leftie with a handicap of a sore ankle. Cuts the Christmas cake with both hands on the knife. That should just about cover it.

Not sure about training but good to see a few of the boys getting together to play some backyard cricket once the serious stuff finished.

Oscar behind the stumps, Jesse batting, vanders, JKH and Salem all fielding and I think Petracca bowling (out of shot). Pic by Gus Brayshaw.

OMG Is Jesse wearing a West Coast jumper?????

Was he smiling???


when one bats one uses both hands, so it is neither left or right handed

rather it is more a case of left sided or right sided

interesting note. ambidextrous literally means both sides right handed (dexter being the right hand, with sinister being the left)

ambilevous means both sides left handed and is generally meant in a demeaning manner such as clumsy. there is also the term ambisinistrous

Get your hand off it.

Get your hand off it.

Left or right??

  • Welcome to Demonland: Steven King

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
