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...

[Deestroy All 14,261]

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.

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

[ManDee 7,073]

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.

Any word on how Trengove is traveling?

[Bluey's Dad 3,419]

Any word on how Trengove is traveling?

No longer by scooter I believe.

Haw haw.

[Good Times Grimes 2,396]

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.

[Middymalt 244]

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

Old house the fence looks 40 years old.

[daisycutter 28,460]

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 18,810]

what, no training again today?

AFL footballers have it easy

[bjDee 1,247]

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.

[jnrmac 18,914]

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.

[Akum 2,660]

Get your hand off it.

Left or right??
