Training Pre season training

Hi folks. A SC question, is Tauru going to be fit for the start of the season, and do you think he will get early games?

You'd be better off with Schoenmaker IMO. Much more likely to be best 22 without Battle in the side. Marcus Windhager might be a good roll of the dice. He's best 22 but been a bit unlucky with injury. I think he could break out this season. Especially with Dow out.

Yes. And he will play every game, and as a midfielder.

Hugo Garcia paying $34 TAB for Rising Star pretty solid odds...

He started out at $81. Come in a fair bit

He’s a bit of a ripper bloke. When signing my boy’s jersey he goes “OH CANDY STRIPE NICE JUMPER!” More than happy to jump into a photo, big smile on his face.

I reckon he’s as happy as a pig in the proverbial.

A smile on his face? Are you sure that was Garcia?

Please don’t go full Gringo yet. I prefer summer pre-season Gringo, where everything is smiles and rainbows and lolly pops.

I estimate midway through the first quarter against Adelaide, after Thilthorpe has twisted off Schoenmakers head and kicked three.

Enjoying the reports as always of training. And the progression of our young guys.

Last year at this time track watchers were impressed with what they were seeing compared to previous years. All seemed set. And then Lady Luck seemed to take a hand with close losses, a bad draw, and being cruelled by injuries and suspension.

How do track watchers think this year is progressing against what they saw last year? Sounds to me like the quality of the drills has gone up a notch. I keep hearing Bolton’s name in all this. Which is good I think. He’s drilled some pretty good teams in his career.

So… year on year. What do you think are the main differences?

The biggest thing is we are seeing A LOT of competition

This time last year the team was relatively easy to pick. Now you’ve got guys like Windy who are borderline best 22 while Stocker Garcia Jones Arie even Hall are pushing hard

Might be partly due to the young kids being the drivers of standards. Last year we saw a glimpse of it at times but this pre-season they have fully taken over. It’s Pou Wilson Garcia instead of Steele Sinclair Row etc.

Skills also look better. Don’t know what to attribute this to but hopefully it’s genuinely just improvement from the players rather than something like easier drills etc.

Ha! I’ve got the photo to prove it but will keep it in the vault so as not to ruin his reputation.

I’m not that observant really but for me it’s tailored specific drills where previous was more positional and whether to kick long/short and down line/when to go inside, holding our shape.

Current drills seem very tightly focussed on specific scenarios (wide or narrow side of opponents, overlap runners, running without ball). Also would say playing group, while in the past have been vocal and focussed, seem knowledgeable and confident with goings on. On Monday the level of communication and buy-in was very high.

Wilson, Pou, Garcia - big impact on training standards. Bolton for me looks the business.

Side note; up close to Macrae he’s pretty effing big!
