Kev, I’m guessing they’re not having a break after Wednesday’s match, rather they don’t wanna advertise training because they want certain sessions to be ‘closed’ sessions, as in, no fans attending. 🤷‍♀️ 

Anyways, Seeya there! 👍🏽

Will be interested to hear track watchers insights on McAdam, given he's seemingly overcome his injury and out of his rehabilitation period. 

Sunny, though a touch windy, this morning, 23 of them no emergencies. 

Forwards out first. Petty, JVR, Billings, Chandler, Kossie, Fritsch, and coach Stafford. 

The backs join them, May, Lever, Woey, McVee, Howes, TMac, Rivers, Turner, and coach Chaplin.

A trainer and Choco are on the fence talking.

The mids are now making their way over. Oliver,Tracc, Laurie,  Langdon, Sparrow, Max, Viney, ANB, Windsor.

Choco talking to the crew after the first drill. "They were excellent because of the way we set it up". Kicks between the mannequins, then one over the mannequins. He also said to Wheelan, "Kossie has shown me at least 10 pics of it, he is so happy".

Goody is standing in the centre, watching the goings on, as they drill. The noise volume is great. 

Chaplin has been taking most of the talking and directional instructing. 

Goody pulls them into a centre circle and chats away. Ends with one structured sim and a week to backline set up after a point.

The call, OK Boys, then a whistle, and back to the sheds.

Daniel Turner training is interesting. 

Good to see Kozzie training.

No Tholstrup?

I believe BBB has scheduled training sessions off to manage his ongoing knee issues so potentially there is nothing unusual there. 

Looks likely to be Pickett & Laurie in for Salem & Kolt

Laurie to be brought in as the extra mid rotation it seems.

I think Turner is forward. 

When the backline gathered he wasn't with them.

Choco is putting plenty of time into him as he kicks for goal at the end of the session.

Wow.. maybe he comes in for Benny Brown??

Those playing with Casey are now on the Paddock, 16 of them.

Bowey in the white cap.

BBB is with them, so is McAdam, Fullarton and Tholstrup. 

BBB and McAdam of to the side doing their own kick to kick with a trainer.

He might be one game short of a gallop but I would love to see Turner come in for BBB tomorrow night and play forward. He's aggressive,  quick off the mark, can kick for goal, compete and, best of all, versatile. Just needs a reasonable run with injury.

Great to hear.  Looks like his performance in the second half with Casey up forward did not go unnoticed

2 Defenders as key forwards. What could possibly go wrong. 😜

Laurie in for Clarry?  Strapping and/or glove still on?  Looks fine or is he restricted in any way?

Edited April 23, 20241 yr by Demon Dynasty

Is anyone able to confirm if Laurie is training with the mids?

Clarry looks fine, going about it with plenty of concentration and professionalism. 

Some strapping, I didn't notice any hinderances.

Did Hore train with the main squad or Casey squad?
