Training - Saturday 4th February, 2017 at Maroochydore

[Spin-it-to-Goodwin-it 579]

Looking forward to see how some of the newer faces perform today.

In particular:

-  Keen to see if Hannan gets out of the Rehab group for a bit today to see him in more of a game setting. 

- Keep an eye on how both the past Bombers guys are tracking.

- If the indigenous guys are going to make it to training, in particular like to see how Dion Johnstone goes amongst the group if so.

- If Kent is doing any training at the moment.

- If it's possible to train at 110% intensity in 32 degree heat and 61% relative humidity.

- Any signs of greatness.

It was a glorious morning down at Maroochydore fields. I decided to take my shirt off to get a bit of sun on the rig. I've been doing yoga on the beach every morning so I'm in pretty good shape, it's probably why Spencer was staring at me. 

The players did some drills with the ball, Petracca looked tired, I told him if he took his shirt off it would be easier. 

I spoke to Pedo about his weight loss, he said he just stopped eating the freshly baked cookies that Watts brings in to every training session. 

Hogan kicked the ball at the goals, he used his opposite foot a few times. His stutter wasn't as prominent. I spoke to Macca who said they've put a device on Hogan that electrocutes him whenever he stutters or his body language appears negative.

I asked Goody if it was a hard decision to delist Crossy. He didn't say anything and just walked away, he's a bit of a jokester like that. I joked back by yelling out to him that I was going to unfriend him on Facebook.

I have to leave now, D & G have a sale on pants, I hope all the 32 regulars haven't sold out.

Ethan, I thought I saw you over at the Hotdog stand loading up on the Hot-sauce. Was that you mate?

[Spin-it-to-Goodwin-it 579]

Training standard slightly better today, although the intensity is only ratcheded up to full gas for a select few minutes.

Few standouts for me at this stage are Tracca for competitiveness and polish, Hunt for game breakingness, Viney for mongrel and Hannan for marking. Other guns are a tad quiet so far.

[Spin-it-to-Goodwin-it 579]

And I like the look of Jason Taylor's Binoculars.

How is Oliver looking? 

[Spin-it-to-Goodwin-it 579]

Hogan marking well, kicking well and looking fit and sharp. Big year ahead.

Done a few good things. Definitely a strong greatness candidate. Big game player.

[Spin-it-to-Goodwin-it 579]

Wattsy is looking like having a ripping year this year. Strong chance to lead goal kicking IMO.

[Spin-it-to-Goodwin-it 579]

Not sure what it is I like about Maynard? Hasn't done anything special today but I see he has a bit of a late to start Pendles about him - Watch this space.

just because

[Steve0908 23]

Great morning session up here in Maroochydore. Watched th opening session and was quite impressed by the skill level and strong desire to find the closest option so as to get the ball into the hands of the speedster Jayden Hunt. 

Vandenberg almost broke the legs of a team mate when he slid into him for the ball. Trainers yelled at him and and berated him for his lack of awareness. Could be that he is a dumb footballer but he was adamant he was in the right. 

Spoke briefly to Tyson having watched him slot three majors in the rehab group from fifty with ease. He tells me that he did plenty of conditioning in the postseason so will be right to go first JLT. He convinced me that he is over the worst of his setback and looked pretty slick.

Still yet to sight our Queenslanders. Ben Kennedy has acquired a foot injury from what Tyson has told me.

 

more to come

JKH showing a bit of improved intensity, skill and composure today. This session has gone down a notch now.

Maynard is a former NBL player (point guard) so he is very agile for his size.

Yep, and chock full of confidence.

The boys are finishing off the session really well now which is suprising. Really impressed with their grapling and competitive work in drills. Most of them absolutely spent which is good to see. FINALLY

[Spin-it-to-Goodwin-it 579]

Really good team spirit at the end of training. Very impressed with the efforts to encourage some of the strugglers. A draining session with really good signs for the year. Particularly  like the way Weids finished off the session and he is trending really well. He's a lot stronger and fitter a year on
