Satyriconhome

I have posted some of my usual slighty blurry but ever so good photos on Instagram, hopefully that nice Mr Demonland will move them here for those that don't partake

Trac and Hoges are fine, minor niggles, spoke to both

The young guy in the 37 is a young Indigenous player from our Next Gen Academy

Clint, Tyson was carrying that knee issue from GWS days, it was weakened and managed,;unfortunately he did more damage at the camp Could be one of the concerns, but you can injure yourself jogging around Goschs Think main issue is loss of conditioning after all the work put in upto now I have warned you previously D, a misplaced word on here can generate 15 pages

Goody covered this at the AGM that has just finished, after a ' question' from the floor Stressed it wasn't a 'boot camp' , same as last year's wasnt either, and was being run by professionals It was again an exercise to take the players out of their comfort zone Obviously the players had some concerns and raised them, the Club has a duty of care towards the players and this was obviously taken into consideration Clubs will try anything and everything, if the players have concerns about the exercise and not what benefits it will bring, what is the point continuing with it One thing Goody said was the players thought it impacted their conditioning, nice opportunity next week to top it up?

Omac is a 21yr old key defender being built from the ground up both physically and skill wise I still expect some look away moments this season, but he is certainly not the liability to the team that some make him out to be

I asked about Smith at the time, they were disappointed when he got injured and wanted him back in the team quickly, again it didn't work out the way they wanted It is also not an argument, it is a discussion with well put opinions, a breath of fresh air on here I agree with buck on Weed/Pedo, Pedo was working hard on rebuilding himself, Weed was ready to go

Hannan was selected on an outstanding game at Casey showing everything that Goodwin wanted to see, sending a message to other players JKH was rewarded for Casey form, by his own admission let himself down when given the chance and was duly dropped Maynard was unlucky to be dropped but had earned his crack I expect to see the same from Goodwin this yeat

Unfortunately over the last few years, it was not always the best available, it was what was available We now have cover across every line with all 44 players with the opportunity to make a position their own

A few of the players have communicated that to me, new season clean slate, Goody will pick the 22 fit, in form and playing their role to a high consistent standard If we have a consistent 22 over a period of games, it will mean we are playing a good winning brand of footy

Just a note, and discussed this with Mr Demonland today, forget the best 22, Goodwin will pick the 22 he wants each week You have to be fully fit, in form and playing your role

On the injury side, Weed was outside today running and kicking with no discomfort, they have built him up whilst off legs pics on Instagram

I was at the session, if I was Hogan, after last year, would be totally [censored] off with even a minor hiccup in pre season, hence his body language today If injury was any concern he would have been indoors, woukd say he tweaked it Err on side of caution and send him in He ran quite a few laps before leaving

Relax it's December, Hogan will be [censored] to miss sessions, he was still running during the session

Interestingly so is Salem, he is finally free all injuries/ailments etc and did a heap of extra work, wants to show what he can do, hasn't missed a beat up to now, his running has gone to another level

You're asking the wrong person, I usually lean my scooter against a tree near the equipment truck???

There is training on Monday at 11am

Some of the players will do a light day now and again, both indoors and outdoors, particularly during the early pre season, as bodies readjust to full time training Also, as I have reported previousy if they report a bit of tightness, a pinch or slight spasm, rather than an injury, they have it assessed and rested, could be the case with these two, Garlett similar, tweaked a rib so missed a couple of sessions, so rehabbing, it's December so no need to rush anybody

@Six6Six has a bag full of goodies including a Canon, he throws them on the ground in the rain now and again???

Plapp was a regular attendee at training last year, Rawlings is a club resource

Can't get to nextt couple of sessions due to work commitments, have put some more pics up on Insta if you want move across

They do indoor wrestling and Garlett was working with Pedo and tweaked a rib, all good, did nearly an hour and half of rehab

It's not a threat, it is a statement, you do realise revisiting the same topic e.g. Omac is boring, because nothing new is ever added, it just goes round and round The players are not only slimmer but stronger all lifting better metal than ever before

It is a training report thread, it is the only topic I am posting in, the rest degenerate into slanging matches and negativity If anybody wants to whinge and whine do it in one of those, let the rest of the readers read them in peace @DeeSpencer puts a lot of effort into his reports, read and enjoy, that's what I do and I am at the same sessions

The constant negativity on here is one reason I feel like not posting again, whilst I can understand some of the angst, it is December, it is a new season, it is at least 2 months before we fire a shot in anger Read the reports, look at the photos, let's revisit Oscar, the fwd line, the game plan say around Rd 6, then we will have some data to go on At the moment, nearly all the squad hopefully will be ready to go Rd1, competition for spots will be ferocious, Goody does not play favourites From what I have seen at training, we will have a team of versatile men who can run all day and the skills are getting better each session
