Training Pre Season - Who's deadset training the house down 2024 style.

That was classic Heeney

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Fox forward!

 

[Tedeski]

Did we have a decent player tonight or a player win his position?

Melican.
Been nice tonight.

 

[zyzzbruh]

Good to try a few things Adams potential injury is the only blight.

Obviously i cant see how a forward line positioned tonight would work in conditions like this in a real game.

Just before he got injured I was lamenting Parker's injury and was thinking Adams as a 2.0 and would replace his absence well. Then that happened..

 

[Bloods86]

Come on Robbie, don't be passing it off. Not when you're being played out of position.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Melican.
Been nice tonight.

Thats fair

 

[zyzzbruh]

Jmac always been an excellent set shot

That may still happen.

 

[Borgan]

Rowbottom looking significantly more explosive, hope it translates to a breakout year offensively

 

[JZ_Skitzo]

If Adams is going to be injured at regular intervals, all the more reason to start with Sheldrick and have some consistency on the inside. Then team needs consistency. Sheldrick needs consistent games.

Hasn't showed much

 

[zyzzbruh]

Ladhams has actually been sensational

 

[Wolfgang West]

As others have said. The thing that is frustrating me the most is that three years in our forward coach still hasn't coached our young forwards how to lead to different areas to split the defenders. Honestly, McVeigh as forward coach has been an absolute failure and should be moved on.

Didn't you know Mr B its Buddy's fault.

 

[Olian]

If Ladhams has his head switched on he’s a great competitor. Not the silkiest of skills but he’s hard at it.

 

[Tedeski]

Done ok.

 

[rustycrate]

The sporting gods want Sheldrick to play.
They took out Mills early. Still Sheldrick wasn't a shoe-in.
So the broke Parkers arm. Still Sheldrick wasn't a shoe-in.
So they immobilized Adams.
Swans better front up with Sheldrick next week, or there will be more casualties.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Hasn't showed much

Not allowed to.

Fair enough the conditions have been poor but having this game 7 days out is not great for either team. Even with the rotations players are wrung out.

 

[Edmund hunt]

Hopefully Adams injury isn't too bad and just a precaution.

Jordon looks like an astute recruit (especially given zero cost)

 

[Ticky009]

Still don't see Sheldrick as anything special.

He might be the best pickup for us in the offseason.

Finally found someone who agrees. I don't get what the hype is about.

 

[RilesMacca]

Not a bad hit out, was always going to be a test with our top 3 inside mids out. Workrate was good in the 1st half but dropped off against a classy side. Need to get this midfield mix right with the sharp turnaround next week. Front half use and ball movement was scrappy, but can trust it'll be fine on Thursday. Looked very slipperly out there. Hayward only played a half.

Jordon really impressive with great composure. Rowy in an under looked nice, Blakey great in the air too. Melican nice will play round 0. Ladhams had a real solid crack, competed well just needs to touch up his disposal when grabbing it out of the ruck.

Take Aways from today. If we play like this we won't win too many. Constantly bombing to the forward line and ignoring leads, like those made by McDonald again & again tell me either Horse is feeding us shit or we are ****ed. One of the two. This was a very underwhelming performance. We did not practice any of the moves we made last week. No short kicking forward or off the backs either. Just long bombs for most of the game. If we play this style of footy we get flogged by 90-100 points next week. They will intercept everything.

But I don't think for a moment we will play like this. I just don't understand what was the point of this exercise? We did not get good time into young players to play our style, just our style of 5-10 seasons ago,. I understand not letting the opposition understand your game plan but if your players are good enough it won't matter how much they understand. you will still be able to move the ball & make the plays.

Today I thought Logan & Wilbur were deliberately sacrificed for subterfuge. They had absolutely no impact. In fact, where was Wilbur after about half way through the second?

 

[TheMase]

He might be the best pickup for us in the offseason.

His composure was very impressive, makes good decisions.

Those are the types of trades which judge list managers.

So far been more than serviceable
