Looks like Kane Cornes has given a few of the lads some motivation

Petch has clearly tweaked something because he was training fully last week

Classic Petch

- HEdwards - He's like a baby giraffe and always looks like he's knackered. Like his brain doesnt know his body or that he's 200cm and not a midfielder?

Literally the case:

Edwards was drafted as 195cm in height, measured at preseason training as 197cm, grew to 200cm in his second year and now stands 204cm tall. This followed 11cm of growth from 184cm to 195cm at 17 years of age, in his draft year.

"X, player training on his own..."
"Y & Z players away from the main group..."
"A,B,G,L,T players doing walk throughs..."
"R,I,V,Q,E,W players participated in handball drills only..."
"U & K, manned the BBQ..."
"D played Fortnite up at the clubhouse with one of the coaches..."


How big is the actual main group doing the full proper session, 5 people?

Think they started earlier today than Monday. Definitely finished earlier so I didn’t catch as much of today’s session.

Seems like Wednesdays are lighter than the Monday and Friday sessions

• Still didn’t see Nic although Gavin Bell on SEN said this morning he was going to be back today albeit maybe later after an unspecified illness
• Waterman again just did laps
• O’Neill joined in with the main group for the first time I’d seen
• Shuey and Yeo both trained but didn’t participate in everything
• LEdwards invisibility cloak slipped a couple of times so I did spot him. Like Chesser though he sat out some drills
• Clark and Culley continue to impress
• Jones and SPS both were with the forwards when they split into line groups.
• Hough and Burgiel were with the backs
• Hewett, Ginbey and Chesser with the mids
• I think Long was with the forwards but they were on the opposite side of the ground so I couldn’t pick him up
• Darling joined back in so the club was right about his back issue being minor
• Ryan was also training so my slight concern at the end of Monday was unfounded thankfully
• The mids did a loose ball gathering drill in front of me and then spread from the contest with different setups based on whether the ball gatherer was under pressure or in the open. Interesting hearing the coaches talking about different language being used and making sure the players asked about it if they were unsure. All the noobs were there so it was mainly for their benefit- Sheed also spent time explaining to them what they were trying to achieve with the drill. Really good to see him showing the sort of leadership from him that the club sometimes talks about but we don’t get to see
• As I’m typing this Nic has come out doing low key one on one work with one of the assistants

Thanks Keys. Any info on how ma boy Jake Waterman is going? Last I heard he was having back issues, hoping he was back with the main group today.

There’s always the size of Harry Edwards’ head to fall back on

It seems he has definitely been putting the effort in. Did a lot of stuff in the offseason to try to lose some kgs apparently. It's a pity he's been unwell this month.

 

[WCErevival]

Gastro is the best method for weight loss.

 

[THE A5]

He’s also swapped out the lager with the baggies

"U & K, manned the BBQ..."

Classic 2v3 drill, expecting a huge year from Q.

 

[Avalor]

Classic Petch



Literally the case:

204 cms now! Wah, there's our ruckman.

More chance of Keyser growing back a full head of hair than Naitanui in season 14 coming back "Trim" after his missus just had a kid.

Hmm, well we now know that his 'mystery' injury was gastro.

He’s only been running laps and doing rehab work. Haven’t seen him kicking the footy or joining in drills to any great extent

Probably as far away fitness wise from being ready to play as anyone on our list at the moment other than perhaps Dewar who isn’t even running

Given training ends Friday I doubt he does anything with the main group until the new year

 

[Keys]

Nic is BACK! Star a late show at training after illness

West Coast say superstar Nic Naitanui returned to training this morning after a mystery illness laid him up for more than a week.

FYI

 

[WCErevival]

For people watching training, has Shuey slimmed down? Doesn't look as nuggety as before in one of the recent photos. Wonder if its to help with injury or a position change.

He still seems nuggety to me. Didn’t look noticeably slimmer when he was running in front of me a week or two ago

He looks trim and in good shape like usual but I can’t say I’ve noticed too much of a change. Then again, haven’t really kept a close eye on him.

Most of the above stems from Gavin Bell speaking to Mark Duffield this morning. Link to the interview is here but it sounds like Bell is stuck down a well when talking so the audio is hard to pick up

Gavin Bell was on the toilet when he got the call from Duffield

 

[InTheWings]

In the short time that Duffield has been on SEN it is clear that many to the articles in The West are from journos who listen to his podcast and just reprint info in the interviews. I don't mind it when the Eagles highlight those interviews but it irks me to see the info rehashed on The West. It seems like lazy journalism.

As a glass half full if I listen to the podcast I can skip reading the West.

You realise after your misses has a kid, you can’t get any action for a while, maybe NN has been taking his frustration out in the gym

 

[Dark Sharks]

“I don’t think we’ll put any limits on any of our younger players. If they’re ready to go and have earned their opportunity, then I have no doubt Simmo will back them in.”


I hope so Gavin.
