Ball movement drill is someone kicking from the back goal square to a player leading out to the back pocket at the 50. Player then kicks the ball back towards Centre on the half back flank point of the square. Another player runs past for the handball and he kicks across ground to the wing half forward and then that player kicks to a lead towards the forward pocket.

This is a slow time of the year so I thought I'd put my thoughts down about our preseason to date.  I've seen all but one training session but keep in mind it's one man's opinion and there is so much

Player summary, part 2: Adams: Evaluating Jed is a bit difficult because, if it hasn't already been mentioned, he looks a lot like Petts!  And now that Petts is doing a lot of training with the b

Great energy in that drill and even more so on the sprint in to get a drink.

XL’s field kicking is as advertised, he has penetration but also the sense of when to use touch.

Sestan is such a lovely kick too, and Jeffo for that matter.

Forwards and backs in to a drill where 3 pairs run between a 1v1 at the goal square and 1v1 50 out crumbing, pressuring, scrapping.

May keeps ruining the 1v1 50 out by winning ever contest, but there’s good scrapping otherwise. 
 

A big group of Mids - including, Pickett, Sharp, Windsor, Langford, Chandler with some contested handball work. Good pressure. Tommy Campbell and Verrall in that too. Big TC moves like the bloke from happy Gilmore but full credit to him he has a crack, 

Lindsay and Lever did rehab stuff.

Trac did a sensational bit of work to spoil a ball and then gather the ground ball with a nice contested possession amongst a group of bodies and get away with a burst of speed only for his handball to be intercepted beautifully by Clarry who dished it off with lightning speed to Laurie who was off to the races as he waltzed into 50 and banged home a goal.

The good news: we are full ground spreading and pulling the trigger.

The bad news: right now there’s no rhyme or reason to the ball movement and the skill and decision making errors are ugly

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
