It's on!

Salo is doing buttsercises and stretches. Melksham and McAdams are in rehab along with Matthews, AMW. Viney has just shown up, in runners. Henderson and Bowey are walking and not in training guernseys.

Matthews has joined the main training group.

Lots of warm ups. Kick to kick, springs, quick off the mark exercises. Kick, handpass kick.

@Demonland it's only Wednesday...

Petty’s Back

Petty & Kentfield in the fluro hats.

Assume that Petty may have had concussion which is why hasn’t been at training.

Three groups. Finding space, up and down between the arcs, closer more congested work, forwards contested marking.

Two groups doing this.

Third group: one vs one ball kicked high to forward vs defender between May/Lever and JVR/Heath

Is training at Casey or in town this morning?

So far, the only players who aren't joining the main group are Salem, Melksham, McAdam, Viney, Bowey and Henderson.

Mihochek has joined the main group. I don't remember seeing him in it before.

PRESENT: May, JVR, Langford, Lindsey, Windsor, Lever, Steele, Turner, Gawn, Tholstrup, Culley, CJ, Langdon, Laurie, Taylor, Matthews, Jefferson, Howes, Rivers, McDonald, Adams, Heath, Mihocek, Sharp, Fritsch, Sparrow, Trelly, White, Petty (yellow hat), Kozzy, Chandler, Berry, Mentha, Onley, Johnson, Kentfield (yellow hat), AMW

REHAB: Salem, Viney, Melksham, McAdam, Henderson, Bowey (bikes)

ABSENT: Campbell

Pretty sure that Roo just brought Culley down in a great tackle. Looks like keepings off for that group, two defenders on one forward on this side. Finding space and leading is the name of that game.

New drill. Players line up to kick to a leading forward running towards the kicker with one defender on his tail and another defender to his side as an interceptor. Immediately after that play another player will kick to that forward who has now tried to get out the back of the two defenders heading towards goal.

Other drill. Keepings off handball drill 10 vs 7.

McAdam who now has taping on his left knee is doing some runs on the boundary with Reece Conca.

He may have been in the main group in early December off memory but good to see him in the main group now (in terms of round 1 selection)

Melksham running laps.

Salem working with a trainer doing some light changing directions runs between cones.

Viney doing some light very small two legged hops in a straight line.

Henderson on the bikes.

Players doing 200 metre fast runs in groups of 5 along the boundary.

The concussions are starting to pile up for Petty, if that’s the case

Perhaps a mini Match SIM about to start.

Max, Petty (yellow hat), Kentfield (yellow hat), Sharp & AMW have peeled off from the group to train separately.

Forwards (Blue): Mihocek, Chandler, Mentha, Fritsch

Defenders (White): May, Howes, Adams, CJ, Taylor

Forwards (White): JVR, Jefferson, Trelly, Matthew, Laurie

Defenders (Blue): Turner, Lever, TMac, Berry

Rucks (Blue): Johnson

Rucks (White): Heath

Mids (Blue): Culley, Kozzy, Rivers Langford

Mids (White): Windsor, Steele, Sparrow, Langdon

Wings (Blue): Onley

Wings (White): Kolt

AMW not there?

Math SIM is not a traditional SIM. Mids are setup on the wings with the plays starting either from a loose ball on the wing or from a free kick from half back. Plays are mostly confined to one side of the ground along

Jeffo is in runners. Running the boundary.
