Of course though I'm sure if you asked the players they would prefer to train across the road from the G instead of in the middle of nowhere at least once or twice a week.

I used to attend training at Gosch's during the year. Particularly during pre season. Have I missed it? Yes. But wether we get back there now or November does not worry me.

I suspect the Captain prefers Casey. In fact, anyone who lives on the Mornington Peninsula may feel that way. It would be a significantly shorter trip for them than travelling to Gosch's.

Training at Gosch's with a couple of Demon supporter mates followed by a boozy counter lunch.

Always a good day!

Had a wander around Gosch's this morning, nobody there.

My guess is, friday morning captains run!

Why? Casey is fine!

Casey is great OD.

Just want to be back in the precinct though and see them lighting it up on an occasional drive past Gosch's during the week 🙂

[kev martin 10,417]

Something is being set up.

Cones are going out.

Tmac doing some run throughs.

The oval has been raised by a little less than 1/2 a meter. 

There is a slight camber, with the peak in the middle.

A camera is up on the net post at both goals.

Plenty of flood lights on 4 poles.

Beautiful looking surface.

 No trees missing

 

Lever is out there, as is Weids, Tomlinson, Bedford 

Exercises seem to be about getting them thinking

They are making plenty of noise

Looks like they're doing the captains run?

A running commentary on the session would be appreciated thanks Kevy... 😁

[kev martin 10,417]

There into the lines.

Mids working on no look kicks from the clearance, then the connection from back to forward. Going 3/4 pace

Forwards working off the marking bag, and the back 6 doing some lead up and outs.

 

Now its some competitive sims, all out there, white, yellow, orange and red. Coaches included. No tackling. 

The sims broke into a smaller group and got a bit more serious, only for 5 mins, still no tackling

 

Goal kicking now. Push ups for misses, for the entire group

 

Our number 50, has done nothing other than walk around. Bit of a worry.

Had a talk to Buddy the MFC assistant. 

Tells me they love the surface as do the women 

 

Beautiful morning, storm is training and Victory are just setting up.

 

The boys are up and about

All over now, short and sweet.

 

The not picked group are out there now.

Looks like Joel is in the main group.

Had a look today. Brown/Weid/Fritsch/Melksham and Jackson in a forward group to begin, marking on jumping bag, leading/goal kicking. Petty/May/Lever/Tomlinson/Rivers/Hibberd in defensive group. Lever mostly used as designated kicker during drills

Rest of side were doing stoppage/ ball movement work at this stage

Team then moved into match sim, notably Brown stood watching from the side, seems to be some issue

Only omission from the main group in the 26 was Dunstan, who ran out with the secondary group afterwards.

Petracca/Fritsch trying to get a lot of set shots in

Clarry in a glove and handballing with the left

I dropped by briefly and couldn’t sight Fritsch, so good to hear he was out there!

Thanks for the reports fellas. Much appreciated 

Beautiful day to watch training

Didn't have his number on, and wore a beanie, so he was a little hard to spot at a glance

Fritter must've had a big beanie on to hold in that do!

Thanks Kev and others who are providing training reports. 

I fully expect some outrage somewhere that we're not tackling at training, though!

I think because of the short week and it being the captains run, they went easier.

Probably also protecting Oliver, and as a guess Tracc.

Tracc was seriously practising his set shots. Most were on target, with a beautiful flight.

Did Joel Smith train with the forwards?

[Gorgoroth 13,024]

How’s lever looking, ie over head marking etc
