Training- Wednesday 25th November, 2015

[demonoid 317]

From a video on the website looks like they had the 3km time trial today.

Anyone know any results?

Unsurprisingly looks like tmac came in first.

[DeeSpencer 25,717]

Just looking at the video:

McDonald

Grimes

Bugg

A tall slim figure that could be Oscar Mc

Stretch

Melksham

3 defenders - Garland, Dunn, Jetta coming in together.

Harmes

Wouldn't have been fun in this wind.

Unless someone happened to be there I don't think we'll ever know detailed results from this one.

Rumour has it Toumpass just finished his 3 k time trial from Monday

[Young Blood 2,620]

Hope that Harmes is building his tank. His aggression around the stoppages was terrific last season but his fitness wasn't quite there.

If he can build his endurance I think he could be a key player for us. Has terrific strength for a player his age. Shows when taking contested marks or getting his arms free in stoppages. Great tackler too. One to watch

Apparently, he just edged out Jordie Gysberts in the last 20 metres.

[old dee 23,792]

Thats unfair Jordie had just done ten push ups.

[nutbean 8,838]

Apparently, he just edged out Jordie Gysberts in the last 20 metres.

Jordie Gysberts was actually first but he found it impossible to break through the tape at the finishing line.

[Vagg 2,439]

I take it no-one was there...?

Probably can't type with one finger either.

Interesting nice to see Bugg up there early and Grimes (something to prove this year?)

[Ruffles 356]

I went along at about 10:30am and the drills weren't very intense, so it must've been after the run.

There were 3 groups rotating between 3 drills - being set shot goal kicking, 1v1 marking contests and a ball-up ruck contests with 2 teams of mids. Not much to report really, I wasn't there that long.

Players missing were: Jones, Vince, Hogan, Petracca, Brayshaw, Lumumba, Trengove, Tyson, Newton, Pederson, O McDonald, Neal-Bullen, Kennedy, Garlett, Spencer, Terlich, M Jones, King.

A few observations were:

• Viney is just scary... just so ripped.
• Most were pretty up-beat, a lot of talk and encouragement from Watts.
• Joel Smith has a serious leap. In the contested marking drill they used bags at one stage. One was basically to take a speccy on, using the knee. Well, all the others got a knee up on the bag and took the grap. Smith basically stood on top of it. Jumped on to it and used his feet!
• Stretch did quite a few good things in the 3v3 mids roving from the ruck, congratulated by the coaches.
• White has a thumping kick.
• Melksham was looking alright, did some good things.

That's about it I'm afraid... not much happened really!

[Demonic Faves 39]

What's that say about the MFC? He was top 3 or 4 when he was here.

Col will be right up there, when he gets an injury-free preseason.

Thanks, Ruffles! You saved the day!! Without you, there would have been NO report at all -- and thus a pointless thread! Well done!
