Look forward to hearing more Saty. 

Did Dom give anything away regarding when he will be joining the rehab group?

[JAG007 164]

Any news on Kent?

 

[stuie 7,374]

Cheers Saty, appreciate your dedication.

Keen to hear what these certain players are working on on craft day if possible: Frost, ANB and Bugg.

 

[ManDee 7,148]

Tom McDonald on Jordan Lewis

We've already got a couple training drills named after him, the Lewis kick drill

You know the one, the one where kicks hit targets, I haven't done that before.

I cringed when I read that.  Have we not learnt our lesson from previous doses of the Messiah Syndrome?

I'll take a stab: 

Hitting a target.

[Satyriconhome 10,878]

Tyson is in the rehab group, Kent did some laps with Hulett and a bit of handball, didn't ask, get nothing anyway, club hasn't bothered

ANB and Hannan the only other two in rehab, but they may  as well be in main group  Crossy works them over, another two hours of 'rehab' covering everything

Frost  all defensive craft no surprise

Bugg  midfield craft no surprise

Highlight for me today Pedo testing his shoulder out late in the session with a bit of one on one with Crossy   he survived

Forwards heaps of goalkicking practice, including the worst ever effort I have seen from Watts, went sideways, to everybody's amusement, including his, of course he nailed every one after that

And on that JKH  again lined one up at about 45deg angle 55 out, through the middle, hit the netting behind the goal about half way up, Dion Johnstone then followed same result  competition is a wonderful thing   pics on Instagram next half hour

[Satyriconhome 10,878]

On Lewis' kicking, they had Maxy, Pencil and Flip  doing a bit extra, last part of drill was to chase high kick and mark, Lewis volunteered to do the kicking, made all 3 look good

Good to see Pedo testing out the shoulder. Want him ready for round 1 consideration.

[Jaded No More 68,915]

Is Tom Mac back in full training or still in rehab for his shoulder? 

 

Also I laughed at the poster who mentioned Lewis being the messiah. Hardly the messiah, just a damn good player who can hit a target! Glad our players are taking as much from him as they can.

Tommy Mc and Pedo do most things but they also do a bit extra obviously to test the shoulders out, both strapped up but that's normal for both

Lewis is above everything else a team man, has impressed all with his team first attitude, think Tommy is taking the [censored] as well with his kicking drill remark about Lewis

Don't fret, your days of shame are numbered.

Other notes

Jeff Garlet spent 15 minutes with Justin Plapp working on crumbing and goaling around the goal square, again using both feet

Greg Stafford had 4 ruckmen to play with today. both Flip and Mitch King worked hard, outbodied by Max and Pencil of course

[Pipefitter 2,159]

Liking hearing JKH has some tricks. To be honest I've never rated him, but getting keen to see him have a clear run at it this year.

We have just stopped burning players, similar to Nev Jetta and Jayden Hunt, both couldn't get a clear run, but showed glimpses, so club persevered, JKH will be given the same opportunity, fitness staff have worked wonders with this body, ball is now in his court (Aust Open ref), it was fun watching him go head to head with Dion Johnstone today on goalkicking

I am working on Friday and besides don't like to travel any further south than Caufield, looking forward to hearing maybe a different reporting voice

Of all the training days, think the Wednesday craft day is my favourite, some strange drills when you first look at them, but bit of thought and you see why they are doing them

Couple of favourites

Player has ball at feet facing away from player, whistle, bend down pick up ball turn left or right, depending on previous and kick immediately to player about 20 metres away

Player only holds ball in one hand, keeps other hand behind back, has to drop ball and kick to other player about 15 metres away

Seriously though, I don't the club sees it that way.  We're just lucky that a player of his talent and experience fell into our laps for virtually nothing.  That rarely happens in this day and age.
