Training Pre season training

[dudeintheswamp]

Hopefully Dan Butler can provide the pressure and tackling of a few years ago. Was up against it early last year with injury and it took him a while to get back to fitness and form. A fully fit Snags and Butler will do wonders for our forward line.

I'm off to training today! 4 hour round trip but the young'un is keen... Will put up a report this evening

beside the seaside ?

Still no Boyd! I wonder what's going on there?

 

[Barrels]

I also agree with this…I just wish the club had the balls to use King as the chop out ruckman, he & Ro would a be dangerous combination

Sure. Let’s use our blue-chip forward asset, who has had a chequered injury history so far, in a position that going to see him get physically battered regularly.

Just because someone is tall does NOT mean they can or should ruck.

The club are making him earn his spot thats for sure, but Id doubt he would have been invited back after the break if they weren't going to offer him a spot.

Any of the training watchers tomorrow it would be appreciated if you can you pay some extra attention to Hugh Boxshall. Apart from the limited footage available around draft time we dont know a real lot about him. Thanks in advance!!!

Thinking of travelling down to training this week. Is the main session Wednesday? And if so, what’s the best time to get there to see it all?

 

[bergholt]

Love to see King alternating with Ro…doubt the selectors have the balls to do it though!

Yeah I've been pushing that barrow for a few years. Love Maxie but if he's a one position full forward then he makes team selection quite tricky. If he can harden up and actually play ruck for a few minutes a quarter then it changes the complexion of the team completely.

Not sure he would get battered, the ruck rules these days make it a lot safer for rucks than the old days as you would know.
I don't think he would be at any more risk playing ruck than being a key forward

If you get there by 10 you won’t miss much. I’m not sure there is a main session in pre season.

He should do what Joe Daniher did for Brisbane. The ruck would free him up and make us less predictable, makes too much sense.

Well it has their names.
Now we just need photo's for the noobs, and updated profiles for just about everyone.

don't worry, afl site is like that for all clubs, see gws

He's not on the list so there's no reason for him to be there yet.

 

[Moorabbin Ghost]

My prediction….

Arie will be an All Australian in the not too distant future. You can build a game plan around a boot like that.
This is where Ross will earn his money. Arie isn’t a “mad” footballer like Phillipou and Wilson, and that’s ok. Ross just needs him to be 100% switched on at training and during games and he could be anything.

Caminiti was added to the list on 14 Feb as a SSP. SSP is what Boyd will be too.

Just a few question marks around his athleticism

Understand it was his first year last year but his running and general fitness levels looked like he had a looooong way to go

Was giving me serious "Brandon White running in treacle" vibes when chasing a few times

But he's not yet, hence why he isnt on the club website.

Chop out ruck selection will be interesting

I agree to a point, but the real issue is Ro's poor ruck work. King won't solve that.

 

[PoppedCorn]

no way do you drive the rolls royce on dirt roads
leave him FF or CHF

 

[beside the seaside]

I might be on for training tomorrow.... Youngster dependent but hopefully I can make up for my false training report alarm

Do you think he will be?

Steady on fella…it’s a 5 minute a quarter chop out.. you don’t think he cops it as a forward?
Might enjoy the freedom of running around without 2 or 3 players hanging off him
