Training Axeman’s training reports and discussion thread

[Bugs1977]

I feel we need a forward tall to fire for us to have a chance. Lewis/Nash/Ceglar type thing. Gunners as a third tall changes everything. Down back I'm hoping Scrimshaw takes that Birchall role.

What about Kosi, hardly anything mentioned? Must be a reason we passed on Mossie and took this kid

The simple reason we picked Kosi is because he’ll hopefully end up being our KPB of the future. Moz is a project type player that will take a couple of seasons to get a gig.

Kosi is a big lump of a lad. He'll take time, as do most 18y.o. draftees.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

yes he has and there is no strapping at all. They are working JO'M very hard and he appears to be relishing it.

Another reason why he should be captain.

Another reason why he should be captain.

I’m torn on this one. Whilst I agree that he would make a great captain, part of me thinks that he should be left to just get the best out of himself without all the added responsibility that being captain would entail, given his history.

Does anyone know if there is a training on tomorrow?

My gut instinct is that it’s going to be between Smith and Gunners. I also wouldn’t be surprised if Pup got up too but with all the media gigs the other 2 are doing I just don’t think it will be him.

In regards to JOM for the captaincy I agree that he just needs to worry about his game and keeping healthy.

 

[MrPremiership]

Let JOM concentrate on his football.

Captaincy to Smith or Gunston.

 

[Off The Couch]

I would be surprised if JOM is being considered even Gunston for that matter (it’s my preference) because it would be somewhat of a slap to smith whose been part of the leadership group since 2016

 

[Mojo]

Pretty difficult to call as outsiders.. throw a blanket over 3-4 players, and only the playing group will know who's the best choice.

 

[grumbleguts]

How's ol' Schoey going these days?

He owned the phrase 'training the house down' a couple of years back, but now he rarely gets a mention.

He's performing his role the house down.

Taking the No. 1 defender whilst bringing the ball to ground the house down?

Like a boss. *

*disclaimer I live in queensland, so actually have no idea.

 

[TylerDurden]

JOM won’t be getting it. He’s got enough on his plate staying on the park.

 

[threesixpio]

I reckon he feels he has a lot to prove and it's going to be great for us. Not only will he want to perform to gain the respect of his new teammates but I reckon he wants to send a message to Port more.

Hanging for his first game against Port.

But it’s in Tassie yeah?

Your caveat has multiple applications Grumbles

Haha, grumble, you come up with some beauties!

 

[bradburygold]

Yep he has a good pre season. Pop realises there are a few that are pushing for a spot in his position

sorry which player?

 

[TheFourPillars]

sorry which player?

Poppy

 

[Gralin]

Poppy

Who's pushing him for that role do you think FP

 

[KermitJagger]

Who's pushing him for that role do you think FP

I think with the performances of Ollie and Moore late last season, and the recruitment of Minchington it's pretty out there to see.

Plus the addition of Wingard

Yes what the others have said and of course wingard

 

[Dewnior]

It's Monday arvo right?

 

[MrPremiership]

Apologies gents, but I was only there briefly. Enough time for a terrible coffee from Last Piece before shooting off to work. I've got minimal comments as below, apologies:

- running program ramping up, building the loading into the legs of all players
- Hardwick looking trim and terrific, looks determined for a big season.
- cousins looking much bigger in the shoulders. Seems to have spent a lot of time in the gym during off-season
- as i keep saying, Howe has been impressing me with his energy at training
- Glass looks more and more like a footballer, not an irishman learning the game
- Poppy looking good
- Wingard still exciting me with his skill, but just doesn't seem to do much at training.
