TRAINING: Monday 1st August 2022

[kev martin 10,670]

Looks like they will be on Gosch's this morning. 

Saw a few in the car park, including Jackson, who appeared fine.

I'll be here, though it looks like a 10.30 start at the earliest.

Are you sticking around for one of your famous reports @kev martin?!

[kev martin 10,670]

Got a  chance to walk out on the surface. 

There are patchy areas, some grass is brownish, a little less growth in places, and the line can be seen between the slabs. Feels firm underneath and generally well levelled. 

They are still not out, perhaps an 11 o'clock start.

Happy watching the storm go about it.

Still waiting, if not by 11.30 I'm out.

The training cart has turned up.

There will be a session.

Looking forward to a detailed report.

Please let us know who is not training or in rehab? (AKA LEVER ANKLE WATCH)

Also could you please inspect the state of TMac's foot.

[kev martin 10,670]

Two in rehab, Rosman and Tmac.

BBB on the ground late and in runners, joined the main group, for about 5 minutes, then back into the sheds.

Joel Smith training in the forward groupings.

Bowey was with the seconds. The seconds left the field,.

Jake Lever did his own warm up, then joined the group, appears unhampered.

Jackson in with the group.

Now they have all left. 

A quick 1/2 hr.

Harmes is doing a little extra work.

[640MD 3,490]

Well only half hour outside,   You would have to think the loading is completed.

KM  did Weid train with the seniors and the other bloke JVR ?     thanks

Weid was with the seniors, appeared upbeat.

JVR with the forwards when they split and with the seconds when they finished on the track.

[kev martin 10,670]

They all did a warm up and some run throughs from goal to goal together.

They then split up into their lines and went to three drill stations, which they rotated through. 

I watched the one that Williams took. He wanted them to look around then perform a sharp 10 meter pass. He didn't stop talking.

The group split into seniors and seconds.

Just as they were getting warm they left.

There was minimal kicking, and everything was 1/2 pace.

Thought it was great that nearly the whole squad was together.

Tmac was out there for a fair bit of time.

Mainly easy running and some kicking.

Lever started his warm up with the group, he second guessed himself  and went to warm up by the fence, stretching mainly his ankle area.

Trained with everyone as per normal. 

I think he is right to go.

Still an upgrade on the surface from last Friday 😂

[DeeZone 10,394]

Thanks KM looks like our injury list has improved immensely not so good for BB but still has 4 days, although I wouldn’t rush him if he isn’t 100%.

[layzie 34,326]

Very keen to see which group Smith is with and how he's pulled up from the weekend.

[daisycutter 29,891]

if bbb doesn't come up for this week. i'd be tempted to try tomlinson at full fwd. he's a handy mark and a good kick. his vfl form has been good too.

Starting to warm to this idea each week. We really just need a contest, if he provides it then it's worth considering.

Smith trained as normal and in the forwards group.

When they split into seniors and seconds, Joel was talking with coaches though left the field with the seconds.

He trained with the back-line.

Past history tells us that TMac doesn't carry injuries well and takes multiples of games to hit his straps when he does come back. 

I am a fan but wouldn't expect to see him again this year

[Webber 10,586]

And the big question….does the oval seem bigger?!

I’m of the same view unless he gets up for the VFL scratch game that Goodwin mentioned was going to occur the weekend before finals start and plays well. If not I think it’s too risky to bring him in for a PF or GF.

Drop some magic mushrooms and it looks huuuuge and Kossie actually doesn't touch the ground when he runs...in slow motion

No, doesn't seem bigger, though I know it is.

Soon they'll finish the final touches of the landscaping for the non-playing area.
