Training 2023 Pre-season thread

[martinson]

Great. Umpire complaints already

I hope they completely slaughter us tonight.

Give us some chance in the real matches.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Great. Umpire complaints already

Performative tone policing already.

 

[trikster]

just before 1/4 time, geelong 20 I50's for 2 points, brisbane 6 I50's for 4 goals

 

[Hollow Knight]

A clearly quicker approach to ball movement in effect.

Looks great when it works.

 

[Toffee Lion]

8 scoring shots to 2, despite the utter forward dominance of the Cats.

Really good job by the defense tonight in the first.

 

[SizeMatters]

Great. Umpire complaints already

haha. yeah my thoughts exactly

cant imagine the melts once the real games start

i thought the umpiring hasnt even been that bad

 

[DERRINALPHIL]

Paine looks very good tonight so far but I wish Darcy G was fit and firing.

Defensive depth worries me

 

[mpal6]

A clearly quicker approach to ball movement in effect.

Looks great when it works.

If that's our plan then McKenna is a lock for round 1. He was full of dare in the first practice match.

 

[martinson]

A clearly quicker approach to ball movement in effect.

Looks great when it works.

Exactly.

If it stands up under genuine pressure then we could be in business.

Not reading a whole lot into this runaround but it's comforting to see.

 

[trikster]

the club talked about more of an emphasis on team defence and you can see they are getting more numbers back at every opportunity

 

[The Zork]

Folding back and running into space looks good when it comes off.
Not all defences will have a Tom Stewart.

 

[scott_the_man]

Harris and Payne firmly asserted their dominance in the air that quarter. Our smalls were great at mopping it up on the deck too.

 

[Brett C]

Good to see being a part of the leadership group hasn’t improved Charlie’s onfield behaviour.

Good for a couple of tantrums every game because he doesn’t get perfect delivery.

Something that’s annoyed me during his time at the club.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Did the commentators just sledge Lynchy about his CFS? Jeez.

 

[Toffee Lion]

Choccy bomb.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Choccy. Wow.

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Captain's goal

 

[Hollow Knight]

Dev rising to the challenge of midfield defence.

 

[Squizz89]

So nice having a forward who actually gives our midfielders no choice but to lower their eyes.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Harris seems to have the perfectly timed defensive fist well calibrated again. I’ve missed that.

 

[DERRINALPHIL]

Gunston is kicking on the left like a left footer we used to have

He did improve from when I called him McSpray

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Can you get MOTY in a practise match?

 

[Milux]

Ball movement great.
Defensive pressure even better.

Happy so far.

 

[Toffee Lion]

5.6

Eugh..
