Training Pre-Season 2023 (First game 18/3 v North)

[Keys]

I’d forgotten Jake Waterman had knee surgery in the week prior to our last game - so about 4 months ago

Guessing that would be the reason behind his slow start to preseason

[Keys]

Respect to you both Keys and juicebox1201 for heading to training and typing up your reports.

I’m hoping they keep doing open sessions next year but suspect there won’t be nearly as many once the my get into game plan and match sim work

99% sure it's Marty Jannetty.

I also went down to the session today. Be good to see if my report lines up with Keys and juicebox1201.

• A lot of running work again, clearly a focus even in the heat.
• Duggan looked on and was hitting targets left and right. Set for a huge 2017.
• Giles went up against Vardy in the ruck contests and I'd say that Giles has the inside running at the moment.
• Mitchell looked a class above the other midfielders bar Priddis. Just knew how to find the footy and wouldn't miss a target all session. Shuey was very quiet and seemed to be taking direction from Mitchell. Doesn't bode well for his captaincy credentials, maybe he doesn't want the gig?
• Won't say too much about it in case I was just reading too much into it, but Rioli looked as though he'd enjoyed the Christmas break a bit too much. A few of the coaches pulled him aside and they were having quite an animated conversation before Rioli was sent to do laps for the rest of the session. Good news for Le Cras, I suppose.
• Sheed kicked on his right foot for 80% of the session, I reckon. Nice to see players working on their non-preferred so readily.
• Petrie looked like he was doing a great job 'coaching' the younger forwards in between the drills. Darling in particular seemed to be following him around.
• Gee Venables has some skills. He mainly jogged laps before spending the last half hour or so on set shots - curled a few beauties from behind the boundary line at the end for a bit of fun. Hardly saw him miss a kick.
• What interested me the most was that McGovern split his time between the defenders and the forwards, could be seeing a swingman role in 2017. He was his usual dominant self down back in some match simulation drills before going head-to-head with Mackenzie in a forward role.
• Bayok is very fast - Cripps was in most of the drills with him and couldn't keep up.
• Nelson is pale as buggery and still doesn't really have the body shape you'd expect of an AFL player.
• There was a big bloke who pulled up next to me and I could have sworn it was Suma, but I'm sure I was wrong...
• Masto was the player picked to kick the goal at the end today and nailed it. Celebrations were huge.
• No sign of Cole, Parto or Hill. Couldn't tell you why.

Prove it

 

[ArdentEagle]

Geelong has too small of a chode to ever bottom out properly

EFA

 

[ArdentEagle]

1/10 session for me.

Something you hear regularly from your missus? Sexlife and all that mate

 

[Truly Lazuli]

Puffing after a short session you say?

Jnr is at Port nowadays

Spliff to power

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Move aside credits.

 

[THE A5]

Culley once again finishing top 3 in the yoyo test is incredible

 

[Chris_6678]

2 Mid season rookies & a Mature aged player finishing top 3.

Goes to show how much those 3 want it and sets a massive example to the new players coming in.

Really hope Jakey gets a clean run at it this year, I believe his best is AFL standard and this might be his last year to prove it.

Move aside credits.

Delist anyone breathing heavily in that clip.

I’m not quite sure you know what we do here?

 

[Biggie]

Hmm

Grimacing which will lead to puffing.

Jack please

I'd be more concerned with that weird growth on his hip.

Side effect of the vaccine I suspect

Oh, is this a front for a division of ASIS? If that's the case, then please excuse my sarcasm and unruly behaviour.

Youthanise is too kind. Execute that lame duck

It's nice to see that our list has been youthanised this year.
