TRAINING: Tuesday 23rd April 2024

Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin ventured down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you his observations from this morning's Captain's Run including some hints at the changes for our ANZAC Eve clash against the Tigers.

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

Forwards out first. Harrison Petty, JvR, Jack Billings, Kade Chandler, Kozzy, Bayley Fritsch, and coach Stafford. 

The backs join them, Steven May, Jake Lever, Woey, Judd McVee, Blake Howes, Tom McDonald, Trent Rivers, Daniel Turner, and coach Chaplin.

A trainer and Choco are on the fence talking.

The mids are now making their way over. Clayton Oliver, Tracc, Bailey Laurie, Ed Langdon, Tom Sparrow, Max, Jack Viney, ANB and Caleb 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 Whelan, "Kozzy 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.

Turner Forward or back? @kev martin

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.

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

Jake Bowey in the white cap.

Ben Brown is with them, so is Shane McAdam, Tom Fullarton and Koltyn Tholstrup. 

Ben Brown and McAdam off to the side doing their own kick to kick with a trainer.

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

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

Some strapping, I didn't notice any hinderances.

With Casey.

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

Looks like the mids for Laurie.

Hunter Casey as well?

Yes

Bowey doing some high marking off the bag. Seems to be trusting his shoulders. He doesn't have any strapping on. Doing some tackling drills as well. Giving the shoulder a good test.

Casey session just finished and they are off the paddock, except for Bowser and Farris-White (marking practice).
