Training 2024 training updates.

[Jen2310]

With Jen most likely to provide training reports the answer will always be Lipinski to that one.

No Lippa today

I’m hoping they only take Teakle as we need an additional ready to play ruck imo

and maybe 1 other from that list… leave spots open in the MSD

Kelly no - had 5 years. Is he a winger? Defender? More identity issues than tik tok

Bytel no - ditto had 5 years at saints. Good VFL stats like Macrae but not at the next level

Sosofrinidis no - Spindly build gives me Oxley flashbacks. Club could’ve taken an immediately better ready made intercept defender in Marty Hore

but ignored him

Hustwaite no - why invite him ti train when he has been at the club for years? Would’ve been taken in the rookie draft if they really wanted him

Eyre 50/50 - with Murphy’s issues, Deans injuries… pies need another KPD in my opinion. Kid has shown some glimpses in the VFL this year.

But why haven’t they invited the fullback Phillips from Port Melbourne down?

Much more likely success story than Eyre

Edit: Bytel might be worth a look. Had a several impactful games at the saints

Go to Jen's insta stories if you're after your footy fix & can't wait until she's posted here..

Boys look good.

 

[Gaspard]

I'll just have to wait. I don't access those instagram, facebook or twitter attackers on people.

Not sure I understand the reasoning for leaving a list spot open for the MSD, I know that we've done alright out of the MSD in the past, but as we found out last year with Markov, if there's a spot free and we've got a player who can justify a spot on our list, then why not sign them up? Take someone at the MSD if we've opened up a list spot as a result of a retirement or long term injury - if we don't have either, by the mid-way mark of the year, then our SSP signings have had an extra 6 months on our list to fit into our program.

Maybe this year because we're trialling so many they may not leave a spot open for the MSD.

How bloody quick was AJ.

 

[eyeroller]

Love the 2 maniac old timers Pendles and Titch starting day 1

 

[Jen2310]

How bloody quick was AJ.

He was impressive today. His tackling, running and bursting through packs. he's been working in the off season.

Boys look good.

Dean, Steene (21), Begg, & Allan all looked noticeably bigger.

(HDM wearing 13; TJ: 19).

Good thing they did, as none of the leadership group was there. Mitchell and Pendles were leading from the front, and they prob trusted the experience out there to help the kids along.

I agree, Steene clearly has added some strength to his upper body. Looked much bigger.

 

[Hardas]

Maybe this year because we're trialling so many they may not leave a spot open for the MSD.

It might depend on if Dean looks fit & firing, although Eyre can play at both ends.

Plenty of good judges down there.

In Fly I trust.

Yoe were right to mention him first, Jen.
He immediately stood out, didn't he.

100% he was very noticable.

For mine the MSD is seeing which mature age players have performed best at state level eg Noble/Johnson

… or taking an overage 19 year old kid who may have been hampered in his draft year

I prefer when we have a spot in it rather than missing out like last year

Also as I mentioned in my previous post I’m just not really into the list of players that they currently have training…

They do, don't they? Great to see.

 

[HFF]

Kelly not coming back
Many will be happy.

Here’s hoping a few of the bigger boys training on with us make a good case to be added before Feb 19 deadline

 

[Apex36]

Excellent. Seems like he’s learned his lesson the hard way, potentially at the cost of a premiership medal.

(Yes I know he had a broken bone, but odds are that injury would never have happened if he was in the senior squad instead of in the VFL)

 

[manicpie]

Kelly? That’s interesting. He’s only 22 not sure why he would retire from footy

Maybe retire from AFL

 

[legendstatus]

A manic, hard at it and huge pressure AJ, is just another Big recruit for us. Him, Kruger & Dean standing up is colossal for 2024.

It's a great way to save some money on the SC.

A nice selection there to choose from
