Reports on Blitz saying my boy Hayes was very good today.

Conversely, Tsatas kicking was apparently very poor. One poster mentioned they are trying to reshape his kicking action - no idea if that’s correct.

He doesn’t get much mention but I’m almost certain Hayes will become a player. All he’s missing from what I’ve seen is the size, which will come with time in the weight room.

The size is coming quickly - he has a much bigger frame than Cox or Reid and he’s already starting to look the part.

Who was Hayes direct opponent in the intra club match?

Well that's the funny part as everyone says Baldwin and Hayes played well but they were the 2 matched up on Caddy and he kicked 3 goals in the first 30 minutes.

I saw him get one on Baldwin where he led at the footy and Parish hit him up (not really Baldwins fault) and saw another where he took a nice mark against Hayes.

None of the precludes the idea that Hayes and Baldwin played well - Caddy’s team had Goldstein force feeding Parish in the middle and were by all accounts completely dominant. Score was, I believe, 39-1 which supports this.

So was the Goldy and Parish team also full of other top liners then? Considering i doubt Hayes and Baldwin were in the best side?

Weve seen this before with guys like Waterman in the best sides forward 50 and getting on the end of many in a landslide

Its a tough one but i would love the best Back 7 vs the best F7 and then the Best and worst 8 mids swap sides for a half each ect

From the sounds of it the mid
Group was mixed ie parish and Merrett on
Different teams.

Issue was Draper is out and Bryan was playing FF On the B team due to his hand issues so rucks were Goldy vs vigo

So Vigo couldn’t even beat an old beaten up Goldstein? Delist.

Did Scott not cancel Christmas for the players that celebrate it?

Gutless.

Gutless.

It's January 2. Christmas is finished and family members have surely returned home if they're not freeloading.
When does training restart?

Yes Redders. Leadership group candidate. Clearly wants a premiership within his new contract period.

 

[ghostdog]

As per CJohns on Blitz, Jayden Davey in full training including 2km, Caddy in rehab group (?) and skills of all quite poor generally...

...almost as though no-one's kicked a footy for two weeks.

 

[ghostdog]

From Benny 40 on Blitz. Peace dude.

 

[andleanback]

Good to hear that j Davey is in full training. Hopefully he can get a good 8 week block behind and launch into the season.

 

[ghostdog]

Also, this from CJohns;

"Was interesting today. Coaches were constantly talking to McKay and Reid and they setup next to each other constantly in small drills…they then ran together. Clear effort to have them both quickly understand each other fast. Cant hep think Scott will play them together almost straight away"

Can back up the comments about the kicking skills not being so sharp. Not going to be super concerned but it was not a hard day on the track drill wise in the part I saw so the pressure was down a bit. I thought they could have been a bit sharper but it is January 6.

I gather you were a track watcher today, ant. Any word on Caddy being in the rehab group?

Was only there for about 30 minutes to check in with my regular track watcher and have a quick look
Would not call it the rehab group. It was more a light duties group. I do not know if he has something minor going on but there was no signs when I was there. If he is not on the track by Tuesday then something may be up.
