Down at Gosch's, training cart has turned up. Heath having some one on one kicking with Stinear. 

Windy, cold, minimal rain.

Squad is out,  first on is Daisy.

Lots of noise then the whistle brings them to the line.

Last in is Katy Hore.

Duffy only helping, Colvin one on one kicking, and Fitzsimons rehabbing. Fitz has now joined the squad. Perhaps just a test.

Finished the warm ups with a competitive relay.

They want to win! 

They split in half. One half play a two team frisbee game and the others kicking drills, then they swap.

They are now playing a half field game, one team is the coaches and assistance in the bibs.

Seems mainly about finding a connection with the forwards.

Into two squads again. This time playing more back-line transition through the centre to a forwad. While the other one drills starting on the wing.

Roffey and a few administrators also in attendance.

They finished up with a chat and some social games, like paper/scissors/rock, in the centre of Gosch's Boisterous, happy and in it together. 

Oops not quite finished,  they go into their lines (forward, back, mids) and do more drills. Perhaps not exact  with lines as they are a bit mixed.

Yes, beautiful, like a carpet.

Shelley Heath was not with the main squad.

Hoping she is fine. Was moving well when doing some one on one with Stinear. 

Training finished with some goal kicking.

Two squads in competition,  

Happiness the overriding emotion.

Go Dees. 

Thanks for all the awesome work, Kev! 👏

Thanks Kev. Great stuff 

Go Dees

The impression I got from tonight's training was how supportive they are of each other, their competitive nature, with a strong will to win, even the little stuff.

I liked how Libby Birch and Tayla Harris compete and then discuss skills with each other.

Karen Paxman, with her warrior bandage works hard and trains with enthusiasm and ego.

Daisy does so much talking and giving to others.

Hanks, Purcell and Mithen run very hard, always backing up and finding their way to the next contest.

Bannan does well below her kness and creates turnovers with pressure, always hunting the ball.

Zanker works hard up and down the field, making space and causing her defender to struggle as she leads back into the goal kicking area. 

Goldy and Mackin have a very professional approach, intention to get better.  

 After most had left the field, they drilled Fitzsimons roving from the ruck of Lauren at stoppage to snap goals.

 I also noticed Brown working one on one with a coach. She has a beautiful kick, and hands (taking a mark).
