TRAINING: Monday 8th May, 2023

[kev martin 9,892]

Light duties: Fritta, Rivers, Tomlinson, Woey, K.Turner, Verrall.

Salem, TMac, Chandler, Hibbo, full training. 

BBB, Tomlinson, Fritta, and Rivers have now joined the main group after the warm ups.

Mithen, Fitzsimons, and McNamara, (AFLW) have joined in for some drills. All under the guidance of Williams.

Fritta now goal kicking.

Three squads, handball game, soccer game, and Williams’ skill training.

Dunstan in rehab, right calf.

BBB and Tomlinson leave early, when the others start running harder.

The full squad drill is, short passes in a pocket, that lends up on a corner of the fifty, then they kick and run around to the points of the square, which finishes with a lead to the forward area and a kick on goal. All rotate through the ground. 

That is it, 35 minutes. 

A few finish with some goal kicking. Tracc, Oliver, Kossie, J.Smith, Farris-White, Grundy. Bowey, and the women (still with Williams).

Viney, ball handling with a trainer.

May, Lever, Hibbo, and Petty chat.

Kev, if you’re still there, can you please tell me which three AFLW players are training with the boys? I know Lily is one. Who are the other two? One of my DA buddies is there and has sent a blurry pic to our WhatsApp and is asking us to pick who the other two girls are. No one has guessed correctly and I’m so down for cheating it’s not funny. 
TIA!

all good, Kev. I just read it in your post above 👍🏽
Winning here I come! 😁

Casey have the bye this week, but with Salem back in full training, might we see him play part or all of their game the following week?

Thanks Kev, and all posters, love the level of detail almost like being there.!!!

Thanks Kev

Was JVR there in good spirits, or was he nursing a severely injured bicep with which he tried to murder that GW$ guy??

sub for seniors? give him a quarter late in game when dorks are already beaten.

The risk with the sub is that whoever it is must be ready to play a full game, just in case. Nevertheless, if Salem is fully fit, should he come into the senior team immediately, sub or not? If so, for whom? Up until the GCS game, I thought Bowey was struggling. But I thought Bowey and McVee were both very good on Saturday.

NO  Short memories.

Don't you want to learn from last year? 

Agree Judd and Bowser both played their part and gave us drive and good disposal.  Not sure who was on Rosas though

So was Rivers ( except from his last five minute brain fade) and Hibbo.last rounds.

Hi kev, last week I used your Monday training report on the podcast. I hope you don't mind me doing it again tonight (with credit obviously).

Can you elaborate on the quoted part. Was this a defenders brainstrust meeting or just lighthearted socialising?

If last year was any indication, it's a hard no from me.

Should play 2 to 3 Casey games and then come into the seniors.

Great to see Eliza up and about after that serious back injury she suffered.

Agree, he is coming off successive injuries/illnesses, start with a half in vfl and build up from there

Yes, looked like a brainstorming session of more than 5 minutes, and Petty was into it. I'd say Petty is working out of the backline, or at least the swing man.

Very welcome to use the reports. Credit is definitely not required, though thanks anyway.

JVR looked fine, stayed in the middle of the pack, most of the time. My guess is they have gathered around him.

[kev martin 9,892]

K.Turner and Verrall, have been increasing their work load, Kyle more so than Verrall.

It's now one of the segments of the show. Think I might call it Training with Kev. 😜

Or should it be Kev’s wife or Binman’s wife?

[DeelightfulPlay 2,548]

How about... we need to talk about Kevin's training reports 😋

[Ingo27 19]

Feel like May has looked hindered this season, particularly bending to pickup a ground ball. Might be time for a rest this week?

[Demonstone 22,552]

You could combine the training report with a cooking segment and call it "Chicken Kev".

Alternatively, you could play up the training spy angle and call it "Double O Kevin".
