Training 2023 Pre-season thread

[DERRINALPHIL]

Defence is winning all the one on ones

 

[Hollow Knight]

Prior 2, Guthrie 0.

 

[Nunez]

Pre season means **** all, but how good is it seeing us run both ways

 

[Hollow Knight]

God that contact below the knees rule just looks so wrong sometimes.

That was Richie’s ball to contest and he was already off balance. By the book it was a free, but ugh.

 

[trikster]

still no idea who our wings will be R1, dev and wilmot have done very little unfortunately

 

[SizeMatters]

gee rich couldnt even keep his feet in that play

cost us a goal

will be highly surprised if he's best 22 throughout the season

 

[Hollow Knight]

Did Bevo put a bounty out on Dunkley? He’s been nearly murdered twice already.

 

[Nunez]

Daniher running hard and looks like quite good.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Harris has looked great. Albeit no Hawkins and Cameron but you can only beat who shows up.

 

[SizeMatters]

gee rich. old age.... creeps and then pounces. has looked awful this preseason.

 

[martinson]

gee rich. old age.... creeps and then pounces. has looked awful this preseason.

I don't think he's stressing himself too much .

Understandably.

 

[lionshine]

McCarthy has had a shocker…

 

[lionshine]

Wow how impressive has Tunstill been?

 

[Toffee Lion]

Kids been good, oldies been a bit average.

Pre-season things though. Overall content with the half. Behinds though, Lions and kicking behinds..

 

[lionshine]

Rayner’s strength and ability to get a handball off while getting tackled is actually really handy in the back half. When Andrews, Starcevich and Rayner are around a contest in the defensive half I feel confident they’ll sort it out among themselves.

 

[Gadzorks]

I think dev's doing ok.

 

[bato]

Hopefully Richy isn’t this rusty come round one.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Good enough performance so far in a low intensity match. Frustrating seeing many individuals not showing signs of improving their weaknesses and some stupid mistakes like handballing to Joe on his non-preferred or passing off simple shots on goal

liking our defensive efforts in particular Payne

Clug looking really good as well

 

[Shadow89]

As I said earlier, hard to take much from this contest, given the amount of structural outs we have. Even Shannon Neale who we had earmarked as taking over from Hawkins early in the season, is returning from a sprain.

You guys have just been able to waltz it out at will, and start scoring chains by sagging off at any given opportunity - given how useless our 'tall' targets have been. Reckon you win this by 100+

 

[martinson]

Rayner’s strength and ability to get a handball off while getting tackled is actually really handy in the back half. When Andrews, Starcevich and Rayner are around a contest in the defensive half I feel confident they’ll sort it out among themselves.

Really like Rayner in the back half.

He has a lot more time there than when he's trying to make something happen all the time when forward and his class is showing.

 

[Pride of lions]

Tunstill has such clean hands in close. Will be a top line midfielder in a couple of years.

 

[The Zork]

Robertson has to clean it up a bit but his effort is there.
McCarthy unless I’ve missed him do the small things has stink lines coming off his game.

 

[martinson]

Not sure about our wings. Tunstill is running his guts out, a bit sloppy in his disposal but he'll sort that over time.

 

[briztoon]

McCluggage scared to kick for goal.

 

[bato]

Rayner at half back as good as Esava in defence. Two premiership favourites making premiership winning moves.
