Training Apples' & Jen's Training Thread 2021 (Latest report #3590)

Round 15 - Mid week training session.

Frosty morning turned into a nice afternoon eventually.

VFL squad was out first, they then they joined by the senior players, where they then intergrated together for probably their first session together again.





Everyone was out there on the track, but not..

De Goey (strange, he is suspended, not injured)
Tyler Brown (post-surgery early days)
Moore (early days in his brace)


It was productive first session under Harvey. Business as usual. Warm ups. Drills. Footy skills and some match implementation. Nothing out of the ordinary really.

Grundy is good to go, also Adams looked pretty good to me too, but he'll have thursday to impress to be selected.

Howe and Greenwood were running together
Begg and Reef were doing the same as they work through their injuries.



Grundy and his new hair -- May take an adjustment lol

I'm tipping with Grundy's new hair he will get 78 hitouts, 2 goals and 8 tackles. A change is as good as a holiday.

Hi Jen,

Cheers

Macrae was on the wing and some centre bounces. Rantall forward and a little in the middle. Roiughy was helping him out with body positioning. Kelly I lost track of him for a while. But I think forward only because I didn't see him in defence when the backline were together. But I'll keep an eye out on thursday

I guess its not unheard of in putting young mids in the forward line early in their careers. Its what happened with Daicos. Until they physically mature.
They must feel Cal is now at that stage, like Daicos was earlier this year.

He looked good, but then he left. Maybe had an incident and went to get scans. But then came back

Seriously? Didn't take long

Haha, its a necessity when you come to this club.

I walked into the Club shop the other day, to buy a jacket…they whisked me off for scans.

Saw de Goey in Sydney a few days ago… maybe he’s having a holiday here?

There was some mention of the club approving his staying in Sydney for a day or 2 post the QB game.

I thought he bulked up quicker than Daicos, has been physically ready for 2 seasons
I reckon his best position is inside mid depth,
for me Bianco has taken his small fwd/mid position
with Elliott back McCreery should push out JT, Murphy should push out Mayne, Wilson - Madgen

Round 15 - Main session. June 24th, 2021.


The rebab boys were out first. This included.

Begg
Greenwood
Reef
Howe
Johnston.

They did some footy skills. And lots of running.


Around 10am, the rest of them arrived on the track.
P.S I saw Tyler Brown coming into the club, in a sling. I imagine he would be starting his rehab inside.

De Goey participated, then did a whole block of running later in the session.

Split into Team A v Team B per usual. And like normal, there will be those in team B who will play this weekend.


Team A (Black)

• IQ
• Grundy
• Elliott
• Bianco
• Noble
• Pendles
• Adams
• Cameron
• Sidebottom
• Roughy
• JT
• Crisp
• Poulter
• Murphy
• McCreery
• Maynard
• Mihochek
• Madgen

Team B (White)

• Rantall
• Daicos
• Keane
• Wilson
• Lynch
• Mayne
• Cal
• Macrae
• Kelly
• Ruscoe
• McMahon
• Ginnivan
• Chugg
• Henry
• Sier
• Tohil
• Cox
• WHE
• De Goey

About 10 mins after the boys had already stretched and warmed up, done some drills; did some late comers arrive to the party.
Chugg, Tohil, McCreery, Henry. They were left to warm up by themselves overlooked by a trainer, while the others continued onto with drills.




Looks like we have decided that Kelly is a forward. At least for the rest of this year lol Lined up in the forward line. And Harvey confirmed it this afternoon.
Cal is back in the midfield.
Macrae on the wing.
I saw Rantall down forward. Seems they are gonna do what they did with Daicos and Cal. In his early part of his career, because of his body frame, garner him some experience in the forward line. Even though he is a midfielder, but he's be smashed in the middle. Bit like next year you won't see Nick Daicos in the middle, probably half back.


You could see there was some changes made, and that they were trying to move the ball better to get a bit more attacking. But lets see if that comes off on saturday.

Adams and Grundy are certain starters. Both looked good today and got through the session very well. I'd say that Adams looks a lot more ready now than he did the last time he came back after his knee.

Ruscoe definitely back in his rightful place. The backline where he excelled in his U18, and its what they recruited him as. He is so much more comfortable there from the outside eye than up forward.

Reef itching closer to a return. He was doing a bit more today, as he ramps up his footy skills. Probably a few more weeks then he'll be back in the footy program.

Murphy in defence.
Madgen too.

5th video in, no wonder so many of our blokes handball it to the feet of their teammates.

Any sign of big Roo yet? Or doesn't he start until next year?

Is training with the chargers should play some nab league games in the next few weeks. Don’t think he will train with us until pre season

Glad to see they're trying Ruscoe down back again, I think he can find a spot there and probably replace Madgen in his role.
