Training 2024 Preseason reports and discussion

[Judd2Sewell]

Good build up, great kick from Chol and then from Mackenzie to advantage of Reeves. Strong mark from Reeves, that's exactly what he needs to add to his game.

 

[Mercy Seat]

scrappy first half against the half-strength Bulldogs. Not sure what the second match will look like with the likes of the Bont, Tim English and JUH playing against Box Hill lols

take aways:
1. it's only a practice match, but the lack of consistent class is obvious
2. poor disposal into the 50 again, forward connection horrible
3. Draft night 2023.... WB 1, Hawthorn 0.
4. Jai Newcombe will be AA this year, but our centre clearance work is inconsistent. Hard to judge without english playing.
5. Ginnivan is going to be a great replacement for Breust in the long term.

Glad we now have enough data to know who won draft night 2023.

Frenchie is busy and having some impact in the guts

 

[VandoHawk]

Reeves does his best big boy impression

 

[Guardian Hawk]

Well done Reeves - would be huge if he can add a consistent F50 presence to his game

 

[peetoo]

When reeves marked, Watson ginni dimma were ready for the crumb. Nice

 

[VandoHawk]

Weddle took the piss there

 

[Guardian Hawk]

Just a praccy - but you love to see end to end in 10 seconds

 

[KermitJagger]

Well done Reeves - would be huge if he can add a consistent F50 presence to his game

Don't even mind if he doesn't mark em all, just do a Roughy and treat it like a ruck contest - Ginnivan, Breust, Moorey and Watson all there ready for the crumb.

 

[peetoo]

Last seven goals to doggies one. We are screwed

 

[Hodginator]

Chol a bit greedy there

 

[grumbleguts]

Things starting to click.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

We are getting frost ball from chol!

 

[Guardian Hawk]

Chol's radar is a bit all over the place

 

[VandoHawk]

Ethan Phillips already spoilt a contest and taken a goal saving mark

 

[peetoo]

So mass, impey and French filling defensive spots?

 

[Guardian Hawk]

We've definately upgraded our no 16.

Bramble's had a bit of a mare with some turnovers, Hardwick took an easy mark on him for a goal, then Ginni took an easy mark on him for a goal, HTB resulted in another...

meanwhile...D'Ambrosio has been industrious and has gotten a stack of the ball.

Phillips is a must inclusion for Round 1. We have no one else who can play on a gorilla.

And my boy Henry H is a definite starter too. Might not be the rising star as there are flashier players, but we have an absolute gem here.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

That was absolutely laughable from Morrison

 

[Roddy]

Agreed 4 million per cent.

 

[peetoo]

Gunners looking the goods

 

[Bardo State]

That Nash, Hustwaite, Ward clearance was nasty

 

[peetoo]

Williams centimetre perfect

 

[RoughysMullet]

Need to get Morrison out of the backline really

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Could Morrison have spoiled that?
