PRESEASON TRAINING: Friday 26th January, 2024

[Gawndy the Great 9,011]

Gus I full contact tackling drills - doesn’t look concerned one iota.

[Gawndy the Great 9,011]

Colt as his namesake, breaking tackles and looking powerful. 

[Gawndy the Great 9,011]

Lever looking unhampered in movement but Petty a little unconvincing. May has a spring in his step and looks to be gliding over the ground…

[Gawndy the Great 9,011]

Next drill is a kicking drill where numerous lines from half back handball or shot kick through centre square with minimal defensive pressure. Coming into HF with quick play ons and ultimately a kick into f50 to leading forward. Clearly a focus on quicker ball movement and lowering the eyes into the forward line. 

Maysie caught my eye again with his agility and unimpeded movement

And now a shower!

Petts doing all the warm up.

[Slartibartfast 17,625]

And they’ve locked off the grandstand for the comfort of the supporters😀🤪

[Slartibartfast 17,625]

Lever doing all drills. 

[Damo 3,374]

Very much appreciated those of you venturing out there to let us know, its very fresh and almost chilly up here in Elwood.

Legends.. 👏

If anyone can find out what's up with Jefferson, that would be great. Bit concerning he's been in rehab for a number of weeks now.

In the match sim right now. So maybe just fitness - actually I don’t think it’s him. One of the other tall lads I’m not familiar with #43

[Gawndy the Great 9,011]

Mach sim time. Blues vs whites. May (whites) finding hard to exit d50

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,939]

Chandler two nice goals to commence match sim in the first 4 minutes.

[Gawndy the Great 9,011]

Blues 13 to 0. Trac gets a back half turnover and powers through -handball to outside and JVR assist to chin for a goal. This is full intensity.

At the appropriate time I'd appreciate any comments on the intensity and how it compares to the last few years.

[Gawndy the Great 9,011]

THE macdaddy gets the whites on the board with a snap from congestion.  

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,939]

McAdam with an opportunistic snap and goal for the white team.

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,939]

Trac with a regulation set shot goal from 45 in front.

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,939]

Laurie a lovely set shot goal from the boundary on the back of a good contested mark from McAdam who passed it to him.

[Gawndy the Great 9,011]

Laurie another for the whites with a mark snap from deep f50 on the boundary after a short pass from the McAdam.

[Gawndy the Great 9,011]

ANB mark and play on goal in a similar style to Gawn in game against Geelong in PF of ‘21.

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,939]

The goal kicking has been elite today so far. Nibbler with a mark and play on goal from 45 or so.

4.1 to 2.0

May it continue.

 

 

[Gawndy the Great 9,011]

TMac’s hairstyle is just awful.

[Gawndy the Great 9,011]

Fritta with a beauty contested mark after a blues contest with on the wing. Caleb took a two tackles getting to Trac on the outside who the delivered a bullet to Fritta who slotted it through for the Blues 6th.

Young male horses break tackles?

Brayshaw isn’t wearing a helmet. That’s the intensity. They play at full pace but not much physicality.
