  1. Main group in short kicking in pairs routine, Lewis and Petracca is a nice grouping for the future. McCartney carrying a bucket of sand, filling in divets, to which Nev has a quip. "Yes, Nev, not in the job description, but that's what happens when you get old and silly".
  2. Pat McKenna also doing rehab stuff with a trainer
  3. Haven't noticed JKH or Kennedy yet an Brayshaw may have gone in
  4. Yes, they looked much better after the warm up!
  5. Both Kent and Dom doing slow run throughs now and looking stiff
  6. Arrived a few minutes early to see Brayshaw and Nev warming up with Crossy... also 7 in what looks like rehab and seems to include Kent and Hulett... ANB, Filipovic, Hannah, King and DOM!!!!
  7. It will come as no surprise that after the 'redistribution of wealth' via the draft that the standard was a little lower. The fact that it was also an early season practice match was also a factor. For three quarters we were very competive around the ball and down back. We lacked a bit of skill and poise in the forward half. In the final Qtr we were out bustled, pushed off the ball, and tired to the point where we stopped hitting targets. The Blues may have been fitter, they were certainly bigger and stronger. They capitalized on every turnover and got great momentum in the final 20 minutes.
  8. Final siren 8-4-52 v 1-3-9
  9. Blues by 43 late in final Qtr
  10. Another great snap by Blues. We were very competitive for 3 quarters but systems are breaking down in last
  11. Being overrun now, Blues 31 points up ( that number again!)
  12. Another to Blues after a Demon back flew high in courageous attempt to mark, only to come crashing to the turf
  13. Another running goal by Blues, who are now capitalizing on our turn overs
  14. No numbers on our women but a player who looks heaps like Daisy is doing well
  15. Blues get first goal in final Qtr with brilliant run and teamwork
  16. 2-4-16 v 1-2-8 at 3Qtr time
  17. Arrived at half time, Blues 2 points up. They got first goal in 3rd with a snap that would do Eddie proud. Blues currently 7 points up late in 3 rd
  18. Thanks for keeping us up to date Saty.
  19. I've been watching training totally unaware that Jetta can no longer cut it...... He has that quality that Goodwin has been talking about, 'composure under pressure'. He is rarely beaten, and if he is beaten he wants to go on with it! He get's downright unsociable if an opponent plays him for a fool. He can play close, very close... is clever with his holding and harassing tactics, rarely gets pulled up by the umps! He is a superb tackler and can bring even the giants to the ground (just ask Max). He seems to have a very good grip on the game plan, both defensively and offensively. Yep, I reckon he is in trouble holding down a spot, all right, about as much trouble as Nathan Jones is in!
  20. I thought Trengove looked more like he did in years one and two than 2016. He has his balance and composure back to its best. He was never quick, but he is/was a quick thinker. I have no doubt he has recovered from a career threatening injury. Our whole list is better than it was when he was drafted, so it won't be easy for him to knock the door down, but if he gets a run he won't be letting anyone down!
  21. It was in the context of the drill. Players are required to move it on within 3 seconds... Not a crime in the real game!
  22. Got to head off soon... Kennedy slots one from the pocket. Last play coming up for me... Jones breaks free from Punt Rd wing, passes to Watts at 45... takes the shot and nails it! Cheers to all... until next time
  23. It's extremely difficult for the outnumbered defenders, but White has been doing well. Bernie pumps a 60 metre torp when no one presents but Jones runs back, the ball ends with Hogan on the lead. He slots it with a relatively simple run up... However he misses the next one.
  24. JKH has a set shot from 45 and nails it. Fresh players rotate on. Macca tells resting group that three of them were within 5 meters being held up by one defender, "Open it out and good luck!"
  25. Defenders, including Max and Oliver intercept the next thrust, pass to Bugg who holds on for too long and the reset whistle blows
