Apples' Training Reports

[The Dawes]

Who are the ones that routinely ignore?

I was wondering the same.

TRAINING REPORT: THURSDAY MAY 31, 2018

A confluence of events has prevented my attending training these last few months, so it was fantastic to get down to Olympic park this morning. The weather was cool and windy (12C), but the weak sunshine kept us from feeling too uncomfortable.
Not Training:
Tim Broomhead: turned up on the sidelines for a chat and then went back inside for his rehab. Pleased to report he’s had a haircut; I almost didn’t recognise him. Speaking of hair styles, Adam Oxley has gone ‘total bogan’ with a blonde rat-tail hair style.
Alex Fasolo: not sighted
Ben Reid: not sighted

Limited Training:
Darcy Moore: ran a few laps, but didn’t extend himself. Won’t see him until after the bye.
Jamie Elliott – ran a slow lap with Moore and then disappeared inside. Appeared to be miles away from a return.
Nathan Murphy: trained alone – concentrated on 100m sprints. Ran at close to full pace. Not far away.
Josh Smith: trained alone. Says he won’t be ready until two weeks after the bye.
Brayden Sier: ran slow laps and half laps at moderate pace. He says he doesn’t think he’ll be back until after the bye.
Travis Varcoe: did light running.
Kale Kirby: did all the drills
Tom Langdon: did limited work. Did some 100 metre work.

It was a fairly light session today with the players rotating through a number of drills. We concentrated on the in-close drill where a player had to retrieve a ground ball under extreme pressure and then attempt to legally dispose of it. Two ‘bufferers’ holding pads, hit the player as he was tackled. For the tacklers emphasis was on legal tackles to a player bending low to retrieve the ball. For the ball winner, they attempted to evade the tackle and handball head high.

Brayden Maynard and Daniel Wells completed training without issues and so would expect them both to be selected.

Daics, DeGoey, Treloar and Wills were very sharp. Wills stayed on the ground after most of the players had left, doing a drill to retrieve ground balls. He was closely watch by Rivers and Harvey. I noted to my partner, that Wills seemed to have slimmed down. He’s broad in the shoulders and chest, but appeared quite slim through the hips and legs. Perhaps it was the tights; all of the players wearing tights appeared slimmer than on match day.
Likewise, Sharenberg did closely supervised ground work for ten minutes after the other players had exited.

On the walk across to Jolimont, my partner said he would be surprised if Maynard were to replace Appleby. Maynard, he reckons, wasn’t all that impressive on the track, whereas, Appleby was like a terrier.

Speaking of Appleby, I’d assumed his nick-name would be ‘Apples’; any Appleby I know has that nickname, but this is not what Robert Harvey calls him. Three times Harvey referred to him as ‘Pretty Boy’.

You can probably read too much into character from brief chats to players, but there are a couple of blokes who routinely spend time courteously addressing supporters. Daicos, Phillips, Appleby, Smith, Grundy and Blairy always acknowledge Lorraine and her sidekicks. Mason Cox shouted his greeting this morning; he’s a real character. A couple of the players routinely ignore supporters as is their right; these are the same blokes who seem to have poor reputations from inside the club.

Happy to try to answer any questions you may have.

••We made a 30-minute video of training today. I’m not sure how I can post this so that you can view it. This was a first try, but am willing to post if anybody can provide a few tips. I don't have Facebook.

Thanks for the inside info. Does pendles appear hampered by that foot/ankle issue or did he appear 100%?
Could you tell if Brody Miochec looks like a forward or Defensive debut?

Mihocek is a forward debut. He’s playing because Reid is out.

Who are the ones that routinely ignore?

Feeling guilty now Kirby aren't you?

 

[Pragmatic Shill]

If Langdon is only limited does that mean he'll be out too?

Great to see you back mate. As a horse, I am predisposed to Apples at the best of times but your reports are golden delicious.

Pretty Boy Floyd (close to Flynn), was an American Gangster during the great depression years

Good news. Ben Rieds calf injury is only Calf Awareness

 

[Buckley is my hero]

Good news. Ben Rieds calf injury is only Calf Awareness

But he just came back in. Bit disappointing as he must only be a week by week proposition now.

Great job as always Neil, it’s good to see you back...

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Just as well he’s just extended his contract then

Doubt his salary will be massive. He''ll be good VFL depth next year for Lynch.

 

[Apples]

OK....I've taught myself how to edit the video, upload it to the computer, create a YouTube account and how to upload it. Now waiting for the upload. I've been meaning to teach myself how to do this for 12 months, but never got around to it.
I see Howe is out with bone bruising.......he looked fine today. That's a mystery.

Howe had an issue a couple of weeks ago when he hyperextended his knee. Been playing through it a bit the last couple of games and looks like they've decided to give him (at least) a week to try and get it right.
