Comfortably

Take a bow to all the legends providing us all with training reports! Don’t get to many training sessions being from WA, thank you very much!

He was noticeably working back hard off the ball.

Kicking was at 9/10.

The big Findlebar Moosestache chasing down that Rd 1 spot in the team!

If anyone knows. Please post.

I bumped into a close mate of Daniel Howe 2 weeks before round 1 in 2023, he told me in no uncertain teams we are years away and screwed based on his first pre season at the club.

He wasn’t wrong! So would love to hear that Parker and Daniel Don’t think the same.

Daniel Howe very much committed to this bit. Even tried to sabotage us in his very first game to hammer the message home

I just want to believe!!!

I’m pretty sure we played a praccy at la Trobe around Aust day last year. Whilst it was windy that day, it’s chalk and cheese in difference in quality of matches

We did, it was a shockingly windy day and an especially horrible match sim. Whilst the wind would have contributed to that somewhat I suspect, from what I’ve read, that had the conditions today been similar it wouldn’t have impacted the overall quality of the match sim anywhere near as much.

Sharing for obvious reasons.



I’ll do a post tomorrow and share more then! In the meantime, I’ve posted a fair few to my stories on @gaddiemreen.

One does not invalidate the other.

He looked good.

He also takes an eternity to make a decision.

I’ve been to better Auskicks than that La Trobe hit out .

I was there last year and have to say intensity up. In particular our ability to lock ball in. Last year was much to one sided.

Notes from me to add to the others for the day…

Concern from my end was KPD not playing today. Logue, Corr and Archer not out there. I did see someone say Arch was out there but I didn’t see him if he was. KD and Chom prob competing for that third spot assuming no injury. Both had moments today but wasn’t our strongest line. Finbar is interesting there with his athleticism aswell. I just have to assume W Dawson as a Forward will be the plan. More so if Finbar and Matlock are added to defensive stocks.

Goater was great to see having a run. He did deliver some beautiful kicks from the backline and competed really well with the taller oppo like Larkey when rotating. Wouldn’t be surprised if he replaced LMAC this season at some stage.
LMAC unfortunately had a poor day for my mind. 1st qtr out marked by Larkey and Finbar. Prob why I have Goater ahead of him long term.
Duurs is a watch for me. Seems alittle seperate to the group and just not quite gelling yet. Could just be me though… hope it is. Also coming off an injury.
Players in 2nd gear who just show brilliance when they want to are LDU, Sheez and Xerri. Almost add Kerch. I thought Kerch was off then on the 2nd half started to show his talent.
Fisher looks super focused. I feel his work rate and drive has been super high. Same goes for WAP as noted.
Hardeman natural footballer. Had less of the ball today but effective when he has it.
Bull was ok but will want more from him start of the year.
Won’t go into huge detail but obvious standouts being Powell, Phillips, Finbar, Larkey.
Goad has come a mile. I still don’t think plays this year but if he improves at this rate he will be elite. Much more of a competitor then I saw last year.

So since Kerch was playing in defence, who were the three players joining Scott on the wings?

RHJ, Stephens the main two others.

I can't unsee WAP as wet ass pussy. I say it in my mind every time I read it on this thread, god damn

On the other hand, did think he had a fan in Cardi B…

Those are short odds. Easy money for the bookies if anyone takes it.

We're not going from 3 wins and 63%, into the 8, which last year required 13 wins for 8th

Should be 26-1 minimum

Don’t do it to yourself…

However, I can’t say I’ve ever seen so much positivity during and post training or match sim. There’s a sniff of something in the air and I don’t think it’s bullshit for a change… could be though.

Being well connected I got a hold of Nobles inside 50's game plan.

In the spirit of going down a rabbit hole of past experience, tell me the game plan looked better than this

 

[Shermanator]

Reminded me of this bloke from Caddyshack
