Training Training reports 2024

[shintemaster]

Paul Curtis may not be our best in the end, although he has plenty of tools to work with - but hell if he won't physically destroy some opponents over the journey. He is an absolute physical wrecking ball.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

I need some negative Nancies to tell me which players to write-off in February. :stern look

Kayne Turner, won't get a touch for North this year

 

[LB2Snake]

That hardeman in pic 4? If so, he’s gunna be a beast.

Yep and yep. He’s already put on significant size since being drafted. I think he’s the type who could easily put on 5kg in one preseason.

 

[Gasometer]

Nor a goal

But idk how that’s any different

 

[Merlin007]

I don't know how often it will happen this year but there will be quarters or games where we break a team apart IMO. Last year we put on some goals in hot spells but probably not enough reward for effort (albeit much improved from the previous years). I think we'll see times this year where it is an unstoppable flow, the more the better too. Sustenance.

Sorry, I know you're being playful, but wrong noun.

Correct term: nourishment

Apparently McKercher is a write off already

 

[Heaps of fun]

My concern for these two is their intensity at the contest. If they can show this at match level then yes agree they will be assets with their running power and delivery

I don't think that's a concern for Tucker. Stephens needs to prove he's not a conditional footballer though.

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

If Zurhaar plays 20 games, it will be a failed year if he doesn’t kick 40 goals. He is looking effing ripped.

 

[Frank Thring]

I don't think that's a concern for Tucker. Stephens needs to prove he's not a conditional footballer though.

Are you kidding, Tucker last year lacked intensity and urgency. He was okay receiving the ball but consistently baulked or was hesitant with the ball in dispute.

That is a shame, people have already written off Wardlaw for being unable to hit lace out passes with a howling cross breeze blowing.

We do have our fair share of dead-set moron supporters.

Well, they only beat parts of the team that finished 17th last year

 

[William Caresser]

Kayne Turner, won't get a touch for North this year

Mid season draft

 

[The Y Factor]

Yep, seeing him up close he already is a nice size. 6' and probably about 80kg's (if I'm allowed to say that?). More physically developed than Kerch & Duurs.

Played seniors last year to so he'll be in the mix earlier than later if he finds form. He does the give and go overlap by foot rather than had so he can get distance out from the backline quickly.

Don't you ****ing dare.

Backline going to be very curious. I had Corr and K Dawson as 1 and 2 with Goater as the 3. Now if Comben keeps clunking it, I think Dawson would be stiff to miss. Can’t see us going in with 3 traditional Talls.

Round 1

Goater Dawson Corr

Kerch Comben Scott/Sheez

Dawson on Hogan

Corr on Greene

Goater on Riccardi

Comben to intercept

Not sure those three names are traditional talls. Corr and Chom are pretty quick and none of them are a traditional full back.

I get what you’re saying but they are pretty agile and may still work.

Dawson is the quickest of the three. It would be more a structural issue and how we view Dawson. Charlie has been playing third intercepting kpd by the sound of it, which means Corr and a beefed up Dawson have to play as kpds 1 and 2.

Biggie seems to be playing as the third kpd, while pink is playing the number one defender.

This all changes if Charlie can show he can lockdown as well as intercept. His limited tank and experience would hold him back in this regard. He has missed a lot of footy.

Well, he is worth having a solid run down there. Much like Robbie Tarrant and Liam Jones, a forward can excel down back when he can position himself to decide when to intercept, spoil, block leads, go for contested grabs and so on.

From the brief sample size he does have a manic attack on the ball or whoever has it, closing speed and 2nd efforts. So, he has a capacity to gain some confidence and build some craft back there.

He can’t be any worse than Mr Magoo fumbling about like a clown and looking more interested in where the car park is

Black socks and denim on the golf course. These two are dead to me...
