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

[Jen2310]

Is it just me or do Daicos and Quaynor wear each other’s respective numbers at training sometimes.

Not sometimes. Has been happening all year lol

 

[MooreTreloar]

Haha, I wonder why that is.

Did Nike mess up the sizes or something? Or is there just no real reason.

I imagine just an inside joke between the two of them. For some fun.

Did the concern occur when without warning they had a close up of Chris Mayne? That usually worries me.

 

[slugger01]

Your question was rigged. I wouldn't want me in the team, whereas you don't get the name slugger unless you're a gun.

Haha. No, it’s a compensatory name. Like when you nickname the skinniest, shortest kid “butch”.

I doubt that's true, but if you are Slugger01 the first slugger, you might be a bit past your best.

Did the Madge hit a target at training?

In what respect ? Absence of Beggs glutes ?

 

[sr36]

Yeah I know. Ginnivan shouldn't be in the white, he was named in the starting 18. Hopefully they just needed someone for the other team.

Final team will be interesting, assuming the extended bench is right. From the extended bench, Ruscoe, Noble and Macrae seem like certs. Then you've got Mcreery, Daicos and Bianco all named there.

Surely they're not gonna drop Macrae.

So 1 spot for three players? plus the sub.

I think Macrae is a cert to play, Ruscoe too. Considering Noble played half forward last week, I suppose it's possible that they leave him out for one of the other half forwards - but I doubt it.

My money would be on Daicos in if he's ready and Bianco and Mcreery missing out.

Noble played half forward? I thought it was wing/half back? I thought then he drifted forward when during that play when he was handed that goal.

"Best" is a very loose term describing my football talent. I have none now, and it is just slightly lower than what was my "best"..

Alright, who is ready for some secret lockdown training?

Round 22 (sniff, almost to the end) main training - August 12th, 2021.

Not a bad winter day. Some sun. Some overcast. Ya know, typical melbourne weather. Took my bike out for a ride. I always regret it the moment I get home and my muscles say "why why did you do that?" Yes, anyway. Training. Here we go.

Nice solid, vocal session this morning. Boys up and about.

Here are the teams.

A(Black)

• De Goey
• Grundy
• Elliott
• Daicos
• Noble
• Adams
• Cameron
• Ruscoe
• Sidebottom
• Roughy
• Crisp
• McCreery
• WHE
• Ginnivan
• Henry
• Maynard
• Mihochek
• Madgen

B(White)

• Rantall
• Bianco
• Wilson
• Lynch
• Mayne
• Macrae
• Kelly
• JT
• Reef
• Poulter
• Murphy
• McMahon
• Chugg
• Sier
• Beggy
• Johnston
• Tohil
• Cox

No Howe (wife is having a baby today) no Keane, no IQ.

Beggy was not used in the ruck. Spent his whole time up forward, usually matched up with Roughy or Maynard/Madgen. They rotated defenders on him.

Tyler run near me with a real solid running session along the boundary on the AAMI Park side of the ground. The trainer put him through his paces to the point he had nothing left in the tank.




He was the only rehab player out there on the ground.
No sign of Cal, Pendles, Moore etc.

They did the usual things. Warm up. Agility. Split into rotational grounds and did some drills.

Before they split off into teams and did their match sim. Followed up by some goal practice. Sprinting. Another half of match sim, more drills, some free time to do what they like and finished off.

There was no announcements on ground that I saw, so if Reef is playing they are announcing it inside.

Daicos on the wing.

Thanks Jen, epic work

Sidebottom and Tay was giving midfield lessons to Jay and Reef.

… was giving midfield lessons to Jay and Reef.

Did you get the sense that either of them might get a call up this week?

 

[Jen2310]

I think Reef is very likely, given the view in recent weeks they wanted to debut him before the end of the season. But we'll see if he is on the extended bench tomorrow and an announcement should come by friday's session.

 

[rand corp]

Thanks Jen, another Copeland worthy season from you, you've put in a lot of hard work out on the track all year, greatly appreciated by the faithful.

 

[Jen2310]

One more training session, and then next time there is a training session will include Nick Daicos.

 

[McOrist]

Hasn't the VFL side got a final v Southport coming up in a couple of weeks?

They will be too strong for us.
