Training - Wednesday 20 April, 2016

[jimcor 212]

There for an hour.  Salem, Oliver, Kent, Grimes seemed to be in a rehab group.  Garlett training separately with Crossy but being watched by a few others.  Kicking really well off of both feet.  Hard to believe how hard and low he kicks.  Much better than the easy floaters you see so often.  I don't understand why Kent & Tyson aren't told to practise kicking with their right foot.  It's such an obvious shortcoming in their game.  Pedo, Weed & Hulett (I think) were in a group practising goal kicking.  Great to see how competitive they are and how much pleasure they get from the others' misses.  Did not see Vandenberg.  

Spencer, Petracca, Trengove all look fit.

No Vanders, no Oscar, no Mitch King. Spencer out there training which is good, getting towelled by Gawn though so don't expect much if we need him. 

Matt Jones I only saw briefly before he left. Unsure if he did much more than walk laps.

Everyone else was there. 

Lumumba, JKH and Joel Smith doing some handballing, the 4 mentioned above doing their lighter stuff and despite only doing kick to kick and some other stuff with Cross it looked like Jeffy was moving pretty well to me.

Would be handy if one of you guys were present for Vander's ankle op and could confirm he'll be out for 6-8.

Good to see Spencer back out there.

At least he's got the best ruckman in the game to learn from.

Spencer is very limited as a ruckman but could be useful as a poor mans mumford.

Always seemed to have taken some angry pills but the difference he is not alone anymore.

For mine, this is why frost is important to our team.

What defender wouldn't "hear footsteps" under a high ball with frost, kent, hogan and harmes ready to clean them up

Wellllll..... He hasn't had an operation and will be out for 3-4 weeks.... Just to clarify.

From the article you linked on the other thread:

"MIDFIELDER/forward Aaron vandenBerg will miss at least the next month, due to an ankle injury."

which often means about 8 weeks in Dave Misson-speak. Didn't say he had not had an op either.

Just to clarify.

"Demons high performance manager Dave Misson said the club had opted to give vandenBerg's ankle time to rest and heal."

Yes, it's all a conspiracy, they deliberately didn't mention an operation because he secretly had one, and Misson deliberately gives misleading information about injuries just to annoy supporters, not because, you know, injuries are complicated and it's difficult to put an exact time frame on someone's healing....

Oh, and from that same article....

"Aaron vandenBerg (ankle) – 3-4 weeks"

You know, just to clarify...

Didn't misson also say that Garlett was a certainty to play the week he did his ankle. Was his lie deliberate

Yes, it was deliberate, he did it just to annoy you...

I'm actually David Misson and I'm messing with all of you....

Ok, thanks for the report update jimcor and deespencer. 

The remainder is not necessary guys. At the end of the day let's just deal with VB out for around a month. The silver lining is someone gets a gig in replacing him, and because of our depth due to who is playing at Casey, itching to get a game as well as recent debutants performing. VB will be missed but it's definitely not the end of the world as we have capable replacements ATM. 

God speed in recovery VB, and hope he's not out for longer than a month.
