Varcoe, Elliott and Wills all did full training and look good to go.
Elliott is now the full bottle blonde.

Thanks Mazza...fantastic stuff... maybe the future is not all gloom and doom afterall..

Do you mean Wells?

No I mean Rupert Wills. Wells was nowhere to be seen.

So Bucks said Treloar was just being managed? Wow, that's a surprise. He walked laps for 40 minutes and shuffled for half a lap, before going inside. That's being managed? I saw Benny Sinclair being 'managed' like that the last 10 weeks. Hope I'm wrong.

 

[Buckley is my hero]

Personally I don't think Treloar will play on Sunday. Wasn't at his best last week and is clearly hampered by something (hamstring tightness like Smith?). To stay out of the entire training session is unlike him. Because he prepares beautifully the club will no doubt give him more time to recover by Sunday and are reluctant not to name him. The naming of an extra mid on the extended interchange bench is a giveaway that something is wrong with Treloar who may not play.

It's suggested it's groin issues so I doubt he'll get too much better this season, even with management. I'd be looking to book him for whatever post season treatments he needs as soon as finals become mathematically impossible. Get him ready for the pre-season.

Well that would mean we'd book him in for next week then yes?

Off to remedial maths classes for you good sir.

They're all open sessions, no fencing at HC.

Magpies web page suggests Thursday 10am.

Training Notes: Thursday 20th July
Cold and wet 9 C.
Not training: Pendlebury and Sinclair
Limited Training: James Aish (appeared briefly, ran a few laps and went back inside)

What a shocker it was this morning; easily the most miserable weather I've endured at a training session and considering the conditions, the skills on display were very good. Why is it that even in wet and slippery training conditions, the players' ball use is always good and yet deteriorates so badly on match day? Puzzling.
Nearly all of the drills involved ball use from stoppages. Bucks supervised almost the whole session with line coaches in charge of small groups.

From the backline the players used rapid, sideways handball across the ground only kicking through the corridor once clear. Taylor Adams was, as usual, full bore at the ball. At one stage he drew laughs of delight from Daicos, Thomas and Sier, as he gathered the ball on the boundary and surrounded by defenders, handballed through their legs to a waiting team mate. It was as slick a move as I saw all morning.

At the beginning of training, Bucks called all of the players together and there was a spontaneous round of applause. Could there be a new debutant this week? Let's hope so. Could it be the man pictured below? He certainly trained strongly.

I kept a close watch on the Invisible Mr Sier this morning. Moved well as usual, but seems to have the unhappy knack of always 'being where the ball aint' as Jack Dyer used to say. Still don't have an opinion on this boy; injury has cursed him and so I hope he gets another year.

Fingers crossed for another Buckley triumph on Sunday

Daicos not named

Blair was though lol.

Bucks will play him as we are still a Mathematical Chance make the Finals and Bucks can think he can save his Job still

Top job Mazza...

 

[Saintly Viewed]

Great report Neil.
Much appreciated

 

[Buena]

Great stuff Neil. It was a miserable morning yesterday, much appreciated.

I was down there for training last week, has anyone else noticed the Nike sponsorship that has appeared around the fence at the Holden Centre? I'd never seen it before, our ISC deal was rumoured to be for only 1 year, maybe it's a sign of things to come?

Great work braving the weather

Nike took over from adidas as our footwear supplier around January and the nike hoardings have been in place since the preseason; I first noticed them during our women's matches. They're certainly a lot more prominent than adidas were when we were with star though with a lot of the tights and socks worn by the players also nike. A few star products particularly socks are sometimes seen in photos too, so perhaps either ISC are a lot more lax or they don't have a full product line?
