Todays training report “PRE”

I went to training today, had the day off and thought why not, first training session I’ve ever been to. I was watching from punt road so a little hard to see anything going on the other side of the ground

Players that I can remember that were in the rehab group:
Prestia - did plenty of one on one training with the coach. He looked fine to me and was doing plenty of running/laps
Tyler Young - did not see him touch a football but did a heap of lap running.
Mykelti - looked so fit you’d think he is ready to go. He did a bit of skills training on his own and did plenty of running/laps. He was kind enough to say hello, I asked how his knee was going and said it going great.

There was plenty of skills training, but hard to tell who was who. There was some sprint training, and it looked like this was only done at 3/4 pace, but the two standouts were Mansell & McCaullif.

I was standing right where the VFL guys were, and they were mainly doing skill work, plus tackling. I didn’t realise, but they don’t join in the main Richmond training. One of the trainers spoke to me saying the VFL guys stand out in the match simulation, because they don’t do any of the main training and are ready to go, while the main group are buggered by match simulation. And he was right, the VFL guys got quite a bit of the ball. One guy I liked, I think think the trainer said his name was Bob? He said he was best on ground for Mt Eliza in last years GF. Anyway I liked the look of him, plus another player, not sure of his name, but was wearing 24. He apparently kicked 3 goals in last week’s match simulation.

I only saw the first 2 15 minute quarters. Very hard to see , but Sampson stood out - took quite a few impressive marks and kicked a goal.
Blight was blitzing at full back, Balta was good too. Taranto and especially Hopper looked good through the middle.
I thought Lalor looked great, was getting in and amongst it. Except for one time at a throw in, he got the ball in traffic and did break a few tackles, but he then got poleaxed by Lynchy- holding the ball, Lynchy then kicked truly from 50 😀. He looked great out there.

I noticed that Smillie did not even last 5 minutes of match simulation, before he had to come off with some sort of injury. No idea what.

From the Carlton board:

Jagga is the biggest talent that has ever walked through our doors. Hear me out with this one but one player that he reminds me of is Dustin Martin. The difference is that Jagga has superior evasive skills, is quicker and will average 7 touches more than Martin throughout his career. Furthermore, Dustin, while known for his big moments, wasn't always the best user and often sprayed it regularly whereas Jagga is the cleanest player I have ever seen enter the AFL system. I have never seen composure like it. When Jagga puts on 15kgs of muscle he will have the only thing that Dusty has him covered in - sheer size, strength and power. Get excited Carlton fans and don't say I didn't tell you so when this bloke eclipses Martin. Get down to a training session and witness this freak of nature in real life. I got the moooooooves like Jagga!

Surely not
 
Ross - nothing flash but a good honest footballer, will be a big part of the team.
Samson - will surprise us all and so will Mansell
Smillie and Lalor - just give them time, both will be guns.
Mcauliff - keep an eye on this guy
add Taranto, Hopper, Lunch, Nank, Hugo and some of the other experienced guys, this year may not be as bad as will all think.

Has a huge opportunity to stamp himself as a leader and a regular mid. Hope he gets continuity and more midfield time
