Training - Thursday, 6th September, 2018

[General Malaise 208]

Was there momentarily before my phone died and only saw warms ups, but...

Both Smiths, Tyson, Hunt, Hannan all out with the big boys.

Garlett, Pederson, Wagner and Bugg among those who trained with Casey group. (Done for the year?)

Pretty sure Nev and Vanders weren't there and can't remember seeing Lewis, not sure about Harmes.

And I'm a total idiot 'cos I forgot to even look for JV.

Kent and Bernie still rehabbing.

[david_neitz_is_my_dad 4,083]

JV is playing so dont worry about that

[Earl Hood 6,086]

Got there late - Nev was there so was JV and Lewis

JSmith and Hunt doing drills with the backline group

TSmith working with the forwards?? And Hannan

didnt see AVB

So will Tyson. 

(full disclosure: no source, only personal opinion. But it will be a correct opinion)

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Only injured players are done for the year.

If we keep winning we still need players in reserve as injuries will happen.

Who was Fritsch training with the backs, mids or forwards? If he wasn't training with the backs, it probably means hunt or smith will come in.

Fritsch was doing drills with the backline squad, Lewis, OMac, Frost, Nev, Salem, JSmith, Hunt.

[Jaded No More 68,923]

My bold prediction is

Out: Kent

In: Viney

 

I REALLY want Hannan in, but I just don't see them dropping anyone else. Hope it doesn't cost us.

I think they will bring in Hannan for Kent and Viney for JKH. I'm not sold on Tyson playing and I think we need Fritsch up forward/wings more. Unsure if there will be more changes though.

[kev martin 9,911]

The mornings session was sharp and sweet. Blink and you would miss it. Plenty of media there.

They seemed to be in a joyous mood. There was lots of talk and regularly they gathered in small groups to have discussions. Probably related to structures.

Rehab had Bernie Vince, Oskar Baker, Dean Kent and Lachlan Filopovic. Bernie, Oskar and Crossy doing some nice kicking to moving targets (Great for Oskars development). Kenty doing laps.

They started off doing kicking practice, then split into their lines. The mids did hit ups to the forwards. Backs continued kicking.

Goodwin spent time with the forwards. At one time structured them up without any ball play.

Jack Viney did some one on one work getting his touch with below knee drills.

Some work with drills to stop the opponent recieving the handball off the mark from running on. 

The forwards and mids finished with goal kicking.

Sam Frost doing some work running up the wing and then kicking the ball to a coach.

No Aaron vandenBerg, probably being managed. He had been in the test group the last two weeks.

James Harmes at training. Mitch Hannan having long discussion with Max Rooke.

Last to leave were Jake Melksham and Christian Petracca who were goal kicking.
 

Go Dees,

If Fritsch stays back I expect Hannan to play. I watched him closely at the Eagles win and he is a very difficult match-up when he has the space to create multiple options in due to his speed and spring. JKH doesn't offer us that so I can see him making way for Hannan who essentially would've played without any doubt against GWS had his knee been okay. His follow up performance in the VFL of 3 snags and a screamer is enough to warrant a return.

[loges 6,767]

I think our best win for the year was beating West Coast in Perth, Hannan kicked 3 goals in that game, hard to see him being left out.

Big Kev your the go to man in these situations, Viney's a lock, do you think Hannan will come in from your observations this morning?

[La Dee-vina Comedia 16,789]

If Tyson does not play, I don't see Hannan as his automatic replacement. The Match Committee might want to add a defender to release Fritsch to play further up the ground, effectively replacing Tyson on the wing. If that's the case J Smith or Hunt might be selected ahead of Hannan. That's not to say Hannan might not be selected to replace JKH but if that were to occur that would be three changes (ie, Out Kent, Tyson and JKH) which would be quite a surprise after such a solid victory in Round 23.

True Mac, very true, that was the structure that served us well.

[Richard Tionary 145]

Hannan was very, very good against West Coast. Think if he is fit he comes in for JKH.

[#11-TonyAnderson 779]

I think Hannan is a harder match-up than JKH, taller, faster and can take a great grab, so I'd be amazed if her wasn't in (if fit). 

[Jaded No More 68,923]

I 100% want Hannan in the side. I just can't see them dropping anyone.

Too difficult to determine. I hope it is the same for our opposition and we keep them guessing, so they don't get there match ups right. Possible ins with Joel, Tim and Jayden but most likely Hannan. He was kicking beautiful goals today and Rooke talking to him suggest he is being considered. Who to drop if anyone? The worry was the absence of Vanders one day out.

Heard from a reliable source:

Viney and Hannan in for Kent and JKH.  JKH stays if Tyson doesn’t get up.

I reckon your source is correct. JKH stiff. But has credits in the bank now.

1/. Was Tyson doing full contact work?  Did he have an arm guard?   I can see Geelong targeting his injured arm with those niggles and sly jabs.

2/. Nobody (uninjured) is done for the year as long as both firsts and second keep on winning.

See above -- still some big reservations about Tyson playing.  That said I will be happy to consume a massive slice of humble pie if he does and is BOG.

[General Malaise 208]

I only saw warm ups so not sure about Tyson and body work, he seemed to have a light guard on under his sleeve.

Agree with you re 'done for the year', my comment was a throw-away based on the 'Casey' players who were training with with the main group, but almost certainly won't be lining up tomorrow - T Smith, Hunt I guess, and wondered why Garlett and Ped, particularly, weren't there with them.

But, hey, maybe Vanders is out and T Smith is in as replacement bullock.

Hannan in, no Viney for me taking a big risk if they do.
