Friday's Training Photos ( Including team photos)

[Richo for PM]

Pic's from Friday's training below.
It was more of a training session for the fans as they took a lot of people out of the crowd and played games with them.

When I got there I heard someone say that Matt White won the Tan time trial today with a time "something(it was either 9 10 or 11)" 03 followed by Howat "something" 11 which is a good sign for matty.

They started with a handball game one team trying to get 20 consecutive in a row. Silvester about to get the ball (apparently he runs sub 3 second 20 m sprint). JON looked reasonable during this looked quick as well.

Polak and Richo also stood out. At one stage it appeared Richo got angry at tivvs.

Gourdis is huge (far left)!!! Very big legs looks like he could step in and play round 1 (doubt it though). Edwards put on a little bit of muscle but not a lot and is still tiny. Lids is just huge I think Rawlings said he was benching 150 kg's.

Re: Friday's training.

Is Gourdis really 192cms?

He looks really short compared to Cartledge who at last count was 199cm.

Good to see Danny Meyer is bigger, looks about the same size as Connors which is sad considering Connors has been on our list for a year and Meyer for 3.

JON has some great pins too.

Would love to see more.

Re: Friday's training.

Cheers mate... some good snaps there. The big fella looks like he's trimmed down.

Re: Friday's training.

great work man, would love to see the rest!

my superflous observations:

gourdis is easily AFL sized, so now he can concentrate harder on his kicking... has some big **** off pins on him.

schulz in the background finally looks to have a kpp's body.

JON has bulked up and is now 'mcguane-sized' - alot of work yet to be done there...

meyer might have the will to play yet, noticeably bigger.

collins looks hilariously out of place, has a childs body.

deledio is getting so big it might be hinting at a more permanent forward role?

Re: Friday's training.

Cheers Richo.

Any chance of making the pics a bit bigger?

Re: Friday's training.

These pics show why the club decided to go to Craigeburn. It's pathetic that they have to train at a ground with a roped off centre square.

Re: Friday's training.

Is Gourdis really 192cms?

He looks really short compared to Cartledge who at last count was 199cm.

He didn't look that much taller than Edwards either....(granted there was some paralax error going on) ... pure conjecture here, but if he is shorter than 192, perhaps that goes a long way to explaining his slip in the draft.

Not many agree with me, but I haven't written JON off yet. My own interpretation of last year is that he had the equivalent of the putting yips, with his decision making when he had the ball. It made him slow to deliver the ball, to innefective options, and/or miss kicks. He will get over it.

When Rawlings was asked about which new kids would slip straight into the forward line he said we would see Connors up there, mainly the same as last year but also said Lids. I wouldn't mind him pinch hitting in the forward line or playing the occasional game there but I would much prefer him a damaging mid.

Cheers Richo.

Lol sorry about that. they each take about 10 mins to upload cos I forgot to take the resolution off the best one.

Gourdis looked to be tallish it may just be that photo. I haven't written JON off yet he has been troubled by injuries which many people forget about and didnt have a prper pre season last year so hopefully this year pre season does him good.

Re: Friday's training.

Whens the other photos going to be up?

 

[Richo for PM]

Re: Friday's training.

Some stage today most likely tonight when i have enough time to. Each photo takes about 5-10 mins to upload it is very annoying.

Re: Friday's training.

Download irfanview and batch re-size them.

Will make them 1/10th the file-size even if you reduce the pic size barely anything at all.

 

[Tambling_30]

Re: Friday's training.

Some great news is that Bling has put on some more size on him and a few of the boys were saying to the fans that Bling and Lids are killing it, and will dominate new year.
Richo was the one i heard say it.

Re: Friday's training.

PRE are saying Rance could play games in 2008 on a regular basis, they reckon he is bigger than Polak

Deledio and Tambling look bigger and better.

Re: Friday's training.

[FONT=&quot]Thought Collard stood out most in his group looked very skillfull and quick. Good in close tight situations. Big legs.

http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=6lmrzfb&s=1

[/FONT][FONT=&quot]Kel Moore looked like the Hulk and was a nice golden brown color (not sure if it was sun or he has been in the spray on). I think he will be out most improved player this year.

[/FONT] Drill called “fire in the hole”. One of David Kings drills. Collard showed good foot skills.
