I reckon WCW does too.  So much so i reckon she probably used it and her & Smacca are now BFFL

Damn!  It does have a kind of ring to it.  Actually i just realised it's spelt Smacka.  Even easier!

And you can show him this good lookin (somewhat famous) fella from back in the day.  Very stylish!  He can trial this as the latest rehab kit!

P.S. I can still send Uber Eats down with a Bloody Mary.  Actually i'll make it two, one for Smacka as well.

Would that help!??

Smacca is ok. Shmacca sounds too much like Schmakos, for which dogs go wacko, apparently.

No, no she didn’t use it, which is exactly why her and Smacca are still BFFL. 😜

Crikey.  Back to the drawing board then.

Transition Drill from intercept mark off half back with no opposition (well the coaches) ending with kick to the lead of either JVR or Petty. Fast ball movement moving through the middle. 

How is Petty handling the drill DLand, is he marking cleanly?

Thanks WCW and Andy greatly appreciated, glad they didn’t overdo the Captains Run, want them fresh and strong for tomorrow’s game, really need to win this.!

Lovely morning for the captain's run.

The bonding appears to be high, they are supportive and encouraging towards each other. A good family club is not just words. At one time a mini number 25 ran to the boundary from the tent and gave Max a note, he read it (smiled) and tucked it into his shorts. Such nice interactions. Joy reigns supreme at the moment for the club.

McAdams was down before the squad. He was wearing his normal training top (blue one with his number) and gear. Being put through a more intense training regime than previous. He appears to be moving freely, as smooth a gait as I have seen. I can imagine, he gets a test at the next session, and will join the main squad if he passes.

The main squad came out in drips and drabs. All the emergencies were with the team, 25 altogether. Partnered up for and kick to kick, until all were on, and then the whistle. BBB in runners, probably will be managed the entire season with his personal program.

They went straight into drills with two stations. One, short kicks and runs, the other, handballs, quick step evasive moves, and low ball gets. Then all the squad drilled together, kick and run in a large square area to the four corners. They ran structural sims that had fast down the corridor plays. Finished the session with some goal kicking.

Choco spent time with Fritsch, Chandler, and Tracc as they snapped. Plenty were getting it right. Petty was also trying to hit some from outside the 50 arc, not too successful, though when he brought it in closer he was nailing them. Kossie was the standout, with Windsor not far behind in the 'beauty of kicking'.

Goody is standing back a bit today, seems it is Choco's time to take it. Yells out "precision", or was that Lever (loud all session).

Goody runs off to AAMI immediately the session finishes. 

The atmosphere feels special.

A trainer mentioned that a Captain's run from the Casey Squad, will be there tomorrow Saturday about 9.45am on Gosch's.

We had a lovely group of 6 D/Landers, shooting the breeze, chita chatting. Thanks for that, I'm feeling part of something big.

Go Dees.

Addit: The Victory had a practice match on the other side of the paddock. A great morning for me, fully entertained, Woo-Hoo.

Was running very well at training. You wouldn’t know he has had any issues with is toe/feet. Was leading and marking well albeit with no opponent/pressure. Kicking for goal from 40-50 directly in front was bang in the middle.

All Captain’s Runs I’ve been to have been very light sessions with little run and contact and usually only an hour and change.

Any good to use "Shack" as in Shane McAdam

Best news from those reports thanks WCW and Demonland was that Petty appeared to have moved, run and kicked without problems. 
As has been suggested maybe he will be the sub and if not needed earlier replaces BBB in Q3

Ty to the three amigos also (Kev, WCW & Andy) 🤙🏻👏🏼

Might make my way down on Monday

Thanks Kev always look forward to your reports sounds like you had a very interesting and enjoyable morning as well.👍

Great report Kev but what's with "McAdams" ?? 

Are there 2 of them ?

Think Binman did the same thing.

Yes, got it wrong again. I put him in my Fullaton (Fullarton), Adam (Adams), Billing (Billings) book, but not River (Rivers) or Howe (Howes). 

The 's' in or out is hard to remember in the players spelling.

Already had a lesson from @Demonstone, he will be disappointed in my execution.

Don't worry, Kev.  I'm in a very forgiving mood after seeing Collingwood get rolled last night.  

You just keep those great training reports coming.  We all appreciate the time and effort you put in.

Oops, meant 26 players at Captain's run this morning.
