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

[sr36]

Wednesday January 20th.

Quite a light session, as mid-week sessions tend to be.

About half the squad was out there. Including.

• De Goey.
• IQ
• Grundy
• Elliott
• Tyler Brown
• Noble
• Keane
• Wilson
• Adams
• Macrae
• Kelly
• Sidebottom
• Roughy
• Reef
• Poulter
• Murphy
• McMahon
• Ginnivan
• Chugg
• Henry
• Maynard
• Howe

*McMahon just dis running sessions.
*Howe also did running sessions, then hang around the goal square.

They were paired off in two groups initially as they played a little soccer amongst themselves. They do this to add in a bit of fun.

They did some other drills. The kick out from defence. They did this at one side of the ground. Usually would contain Roughy, Chugg, Wilson and Maynard. Then another group came down and did the same thing, which included IQ, Noble, Murphy.

Other things they did was, a drill with run on goals. A few other things.

Selwood worked with the draftees in a small group for a while. Ground ball work and contest stuff.

Bucks even participated in one of the drills in defence. Kicking to Chugg.

It was pretty low key.

Chugg is looking more and more impressive every session. He doesn't train like someone who he 18. Maybe its because he had been playing against men for the last 12 months over in Tassie.

Side note: Rene Kink was watching training. I think he does it fairly often. Rode on his bike.

Is Howe changing directions yet, or just running straight lines and laps? Any sprinting or just jogging?

 

[Jen2310]

Nice run down. Thanks when’s the next training session? Is this posted on club’s website as well?

Its not. But its on Friday @ 9:30

I did see a drill where he was changing direction, but maining he is doing straight running.

Chugg really stood out to me at training last week in the wet. I didn’t think he would get too many mentions but I was certainly happy when he did. He was in all the right spots and disposed of the ball well. For a late pick he’s up there at the front of all the draftees imo.

I agree. He seems like a natural.

How was his Ball Use as looked not Crash Hot in his Highlight Package?

How was his Ball Use as looked not Crash Hot in his Highlight Package?

It was fine mate. Not a long penetrating kick but he was efficient.

The fact that Rene Link rides a bike down to watch training made my day.

One of my earliest Collingwood memories is of watching him on the old CRT TV and marvelling at how big he looked.

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

If he does miss the full 12 months, he'll need 3 vfl games to get some match fitness and by then it's almost September and he'll be very rusty

Who the hell are we talking about? Could posters please occasionally refer to a player's name when he is discussed at length to save people like myself having to dive back into previous pages to discover the player behind the posts!

I was talking bout The Big Show

Not that Howie!

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

The problem with posting on your phone

Actually, you weren't so much the problem but rather the posters who preceded you over several pages. I assumed you were discussing the same guy, the one with the PCL. Howie seemed the most likely topic of the conversation.

 

[Daicos Torpedo]

I was at Victory park in 81 at the end of the season. Pies vs hawks? Kink kicked 3 in a quarter. Best I saw him play. All the talent but not much of the drive.
81 was my first year of VFL. Daicos and Craig Davis were almost unstoppable as half forward flanks...
Moore, the Shaws, Peter McCormack...Magro

 

[Jelly Bean]

How was his Ball Use as looked not Crash Hot in his Highlight Package?

Agree with DTM. Chugg's kicking from all the footage I've seen looks pretty average.

 

[Albert Parker]

I was talking bout The Big Show

Which AFL team does Glenn Maxwell play for and when did he do his PCL?

Very hard to follow

What's the point of the tennis balls?

What's the point of the tennis balls?

I'm not sure. Bit bizarre these wierd things they do.

 

[Jen2310]

and the rest of mu vids

 

[Vicky Park]

Is McCreery injured? I don’t think I’ve seen him in the footage from training, including Jen’s comprehensive coverage.

 

[Mkcaptain]

What's the point of the tennis balls?

Never seen that either myself. Maybe its to way to practice a specific tackling technique.

 

[sr36]

What's the point of the tennis balls?

Looks like they weren't cleaned up from a previous activity. Ankle injury waiting to happen, if you ask me.

 

[SchuPie]

What's the point of the tennis balls?

I think it’s done to stop them grabbing the jumper and forcing them to wrap up the player instead
