From the injury report, Sestan copped a serious facial injury at training last week. Does anyone know what happened? Ghosty, did you know Ollie needed surgery?

This morning the players had an indoor training session which was all about tackling. They were told to lay hard tackles and make them stick, also how to ‘shrug off’ tackles. It was long and intense and at the end they were told to now go about doing the exact same thing during play.

Tomorrow, the indoor session will be all about handballing.

Is Max Viney still involved in tackling and grappling sessions?

I don’t know what you mean.

Hopefully these are repeat sessions,,, not the first time anyone's thought to do it ?

I’m sure it wasn’t a one-off or a new idea. 😅I was chatting with Goody, Chocco came over to talk to him about the session, so I excused myself but Goody said I didn’t need to leave as we were halfway through a convo.

Cue the usuals piping up… wah wah no wonder we’re a basket-case, Goody prioritises a chat with a cheer squad nuffie over a discussion with Chocco wah wahhh

Are they handballing with a soccer ball?

Asking for a friend..

It seems they have been all year by the way they handball a football.

My same friend tells me… 😳

Your friend’s a riot.

It’s about 18 weeks overdue. I expect next preseason to focus heavily on defence again. Whilst a lot is made on our ball movement, we have regressed monumentally defence wise. Especially in transition and against turnovers. I get that we are probably not used to defending this way given the focus on offence, but we have given up way too much for little gain offensively.

Yes because it’s the first time they’ve ever done this
