It's been reported he's done a lot of running away from the group this preseason. Interested if this a veteran management thing or a lack of conditioning

He needed it, he was gassed every game. Hope the best for him.

Seems fine now has rejoined

When I read these two posts, I visualised it like a Warner Brothers cartoon with JVR as the coyote with his leg in two parts which are subsequently "re-joined" at the knee.

Some type of “Match SIM” about to start.

interesting to see who doesn’t participate as it will tell where some are at in terms of full training participation.

May and McAdam still running laps.

Matthews has left the field and is running laps

They cycled through 4 different drills.

• Keeping’s off kicking

• running handball down the boundary

• Break from congestion to hit a 2 on 1 forward

• Breaking from half forward to take pings at goal

Hard to read much in to it. I like Onley’s field kicking. Matthews needs to flatten it out a bit but bombed a goal from 50 no problems. Lindsay kicking well in a lot of drills.

In general the energy was pretty good and skills reasonable.

Max and Heath doing a grappling marking drill and AMW, Laurie and Sharp crumbing and kicking it to a leading Mihocek.

CJ and JVR doing half laps.

There is a small group of 8 (4 vs 4) doing a confined space keepings off handball drill and another larger group (9 vs 9) doing a “Match SIM” type drill confined to the middle third of the ground from wing to wing.

The Max’s, Laurie, Sharp, AMW doing some light ball movement

CJ, JVR and Matthews doing sprints

Main group split in 3 teams, yellow off to the side doing some small ground stuff, the other 2 teams in a match sim across the middle of the oval

Kossie is on a different level to everyone else even if it doesn’t always end perfectly.

Trelly getting involved too, he loves a cut back in to the corridor kick that sets up scores.

A big contest by Luker draws some praise from Richo

JVR has rejoined the main group. CJ Still running laps and not involved in the SIM drills.

how does reg ( x taylor) look in the match sims? haven’t heard too much

Kolt bringing loads of energy

Just scored a goal in match sim from a turnover he created

3 goals and an assist for Jefferson

Roo back out there

Still looking a bit out of his depth

Struggling to intercept and get his own ball and relying on his teammates but when he does get the ball he his looking to move the ball aggressively

Im a bit worried about trellys tackling strength

Struggling to run down and bring bigger teammates to the ground

Needs work on core and hip strength imo

Lol he’s just been drafted what do you expect?

Red team: Steele busy, Jeffo making an impact with some defensive hands in and getting out the back, Harvey having a bit of a mare

Yellow team: JVR just looks a different player this year, just more comfortable attacking the footy

White v Yellow coming up now

xav Taylor looking a bit stuck at times. Wants to take the game on but is unsure how to
