Skills session - Round 20,2021

Howe, Johnton, Begg and McCreery were outside first.
Followed by Chugg who did a little warm up early.


The rest of the gang then followed. Everyone was present except for:

• Pendles
• Cal
• Moore

Tyler Brown and Josh Daicos did their own rehab work on the AAMI Park side (near me), which involved some exercises, and then lots and lots of running. Down alongside the boundary from one end to another.



There was another group that just did a running session and that included:

• Henry
• Elliott
• Sidebottom
• Ginnivan
• Crisp

Being a lighter skills session, they then paired off in rotational groups, for some specialised drills. Followed that, there was some match play, goal kicking for the forwards and some match play at the other end just consisting of the defenders. The mids did stuff in the middle.

Aiden Begg, I was curious to see what part of the ground he would be training at for a KPP, and turns out; its forward. So looks like we'll be turning him into a forward/ruck. Which could work, he is quick, athletic and agile. Some good ruck craft, nice set shot at goal.

He also stayed out on the ground after everyone went in as he did extra work.



The baby midfield brigade did some centre bounce work with Selwood and Greenwood. This involved Reef, Macae and Rantall.

Nice that Greenwood is sticking around.

Rehab players doing a running session:
Daicos
Tyler B
Johnston

Aiden Begg was slowly getting involved in things. Did some drills. A running session. No contact still.

Crisp's and Mayne's kids and wives were present. It was cute to see the kids running around, as the boys went about their work on the track.

Greenwood helped out in match sim, as it seemed the VFL boys are unable to come to training this week to fill in with match play. But he also helped out with centre bounce work with the mids - young and upcoming and veterans.


First it was grundy and ruscoe's cute bromance. And now its Ginny and Tay. I've noticed this over the last few weeks, how they embrace after games. Its no surprise given Tay is whom Ginny first stayed with when he got drafted.




The starting midfield in match sim was Grundy, Adams, Macrae and Jordy. That's something we can work with.

Hate to see us going back to the Older Players instead of the Kids and Future

Fair Enough but don't need them all back.

I be playing Poulter be getting games ahead of Murphy

Poulter could be the last inclusion. It'll be one of the three.

Still looks like Sier won't get a call up, do you suppose Jen? Given he had the white vest on.

I wish the club would clarify why he is no longer under consideration for senior selection. At least we supporters could come to terms with it if we are told why.

There will be a couple in the white will play, but the fact he was in the middle in the white, where you had Tay, Macrae, Jordy in that starting midfield..
Sure he could be on the bench..

Lets say the changes.

In: Howe
Out: Tohil

In: Mayne
Out: Murphy?

In: WHE
Out: ?

In: JT
Out: Bianco

In: ?
Out: Pendles

So you either need to remove two others. Or just use Jamie in the midfield rotations to cover for pendles.

Yep, that's the way I see it unfolding at the selection table as well. WHE must come back in. Maybe he could replace Murphy? And Sier in for Pendles, or at least, Sier the medical sub.

Yeah, Sier could be the sub. I'm just not convinced He'll be in the starting team.

He is pretty much gone at Seasons End

Looks that way, but selection tonight will tell the tale.

Would really hate to see Ginnivan go out immediately after debuting, but JT was in good form before he got hurt. Wonder who gets in for that midfield spot. Maybe the Great Barrier?

Ginnivan is not being dropped. trust me on that.

No debut yet for Reef.

But Reports that JT might be Gone at years end

Interesting. Bianco for JT then? That makes sense to me, give Trenna a rest. Unleash the Reef!

But Reports that JT might be Gone at years end

Indeed, he's OOC and an unrestricted free agent, but I still think we're going to try and win games to avoid the spoon. Thomas was playing good football pre-concussion

 

[Jen2310]

Interesting. Bianco for JT then? That makes sense to me, give Trenna a rest. Unleash the Reef!

Harvs said Reef just needs a bit more fitness, but if they can get him in, they will.

And yeah I think Bianco for JT. He has played a decent chunk of games at once.

Rather play Bianco then Thomas. Offers More and Need Games pumped into the Kids

Thomas had been playing well before his concussion. The experience will help especially since he can play through the midfield. But Bianco's games will put him in good stead going forward.

I love Bianco, but realistically he doesn't offer more at this stage. JT had strung together 3 really solid outings in a row under Harvey

Keep Ginnivan in. Might be JT for the midfield spot.

Begg looks a real good build, haven’t see footage yet of his movements but a good pre in the Gym and could be handy
