Training Pre-season updates 2024-2025.

I really hope this last ditch effort to turn Reef into something works out

If he turns into a defender than it’s probably ideal given our lack of youth in the taller back department. At 194 he can play small key back. Basically replaces Murphy. Might even be taller than Murphy is?

Yeah a little bit taller than Murphy who was 192

I took it as that was him trying to Replace Murphy

If Reef is going to play down back, I guess that's the final nail in the AJ coffin.

AJ plays forward.

 

[No SPIN]

AJ plays forward.

Take this as gospel - I have been told AJ is still struggling with social media barrage which is still lingering and affecting him.
My source - it’s impeccable ( not AJ) and told to me directly from someone with intimate and daily involvement with the squad.

I had high hopes but not expecting much now from AJ.

I'm a little concerned that Reef's problem with that role will be his decision making - he looked good in the Frankston game from memory, when he got the ball and charged forward, looked a bit lost when he needed to deliver it. Guess he'll get a chance in the VFL to build on his decision making and disposa

With his attributes I hope he could develop some James Clement type style to his game in defence
He has the athleticism. Just needs to improve his one on one strength and competitiveness

AJ plays forward.

oh, I figured with our recruiting of Membrey, AJ was destined for another role.

 

[Pleasedontfail11]

Shauble was ok wasn't he? Or is my memory stuffed?

Good player. But mostly for Sydney

Doesn't appear so. He's training with the forwards.

I’m hoping he gets the occasional rotation through the middle. Just a few minutes every now and again
