Went out to Visy Park this morning to watch the boys train, and I use the word train very loosely.
About 10 players, including Fevola, O'Hailpin, Yarran, Simpson, Thornton & Carrazzo went to the The Legends Stand end for goalkicking practice. That's all they did for the hour or so they were on the track.
The remainder of the group spent the session in front of the Pratt Stand doing many handball drills, and they had to get into groups of 2-6 when David Teague called a number. For instance, he called 4, and 4 players had to form a circle and handball to each other. Those who couldn't get into a group, had to do pushups.
They did this for a solid 35 or so minutes, and then they split into 2 groups. One group was all VIC players, and the other group was made up of WA/SA/QLD/NT/TAS players. Each group stood in two lines facing each other (like the little league players do when the sides run out after half time) and had to handball 10 balls to each other up the line, and then back again. Amazing how competitive these games are.
And that was basically it. Half the group went back inside, whilst the other half just had a kick-to-kick.
Main session will be tomorrow, if I have some time, I might be able to go out there and give another report.

Anyone else in favour of recalling Joey Anderson to the side ???
Mister Carlton

Cheers HBF.

Harsh on Anderson after his effort against Brisbane last year...
Was a bit stiff to get dropped for a similar type in Johnson after getting a mismatch the week before.

Whatever your reason - attack the post if you wish but not the poster, two wrongs do not make a right. I am over the abuse - read my sig
I dont see a little mod symbol under your name, so you can be all over the abuse all you like.
And I didnt see you pulling him up for his abuse of me in the match day thread...

nosaints was abusing me after I called him a troll for calling ratts a second rate coach.
He was actually getting quite personal which is possibly why I reacted like I did in this thread

I reckon all the pressure is on the Lions here, won the home final, haven't lost a final at the Gabba, big expectation from the home crowd. Blues go in with a good recent history over them...plus they have a few injury concerns.
I watched them last week against Sydney and they were less than convincing, Swans kept breaking down at half forward. Lions wilted massively under pressure, they were up 40 odd points, just caved in, whether that was coaching issues I;m not sure.
Expect them to be physical early, Blues could seriously run away with this in the end.

Why? Surely due to a lack of goals in his career, he would need the practice more than anyone.
Contingency plan - simple as that I'd say. Bradshaw's in doubt, Setanta may go down back, their defence will already be streched - room for Thornton to have a spell in the forward line if need be.
Thornton regularly has goal kicking practice. I've kicked the ball back to him a few times when I'm down there
I guess there will be no point watching the game now that we already know the outcome. Looks like I will have to make alternative plans for Saturday night. I was so looking forward to this game, too. Oh well, never mind.
That $700 I spent on travel and accommodation and a ticket was a waste then... wish you would have told me earlier.
