Training Preseason Training Thread - 2024/25

[WCErevival]

Waterman clunked the mark with all 12 fingers.

 

[TY24]

He finished working 25 years ago.

Started working back when the retirement age was 50 which helps

 

[Mattman93]

Got here just after 9.30 and they were well into training by the time I arrived. Don’t know what time they started obviously

Pretty much all the rehab/deload guys weren’t out there - only Cole, Davis and Johnston running laps. The rest either didn’t train or had already finished

By my count there were 24 listed players still involved meaning 16 I didn’t see

- Sheed, Ginbey, Harley, Brockman, Allen, Long, Graham, Chesser, Hough, Petruccelle, Barnett, BWilliams, Champion, Jamieson, Edwards and Hutchinson

A few Beagles players (Lucassen was the only one I recognised, maybe Sparks as well) plus Walley and I think Banfield. Walley looks and moves a lot like Dewar

Yeo, Owies and Dewar left sometime before the contested work

They did some uncontested ball movement work from halfback for about 15-20 minutes followed by some full field contested work for about the same amount of time

About 10.20 they stated wrapping things up and they’re all drifting off now as I’m typing this. At a guess I’d say I’ve missed at least half of the session

Notable -
• Waterman is starting to hit his strides and presented well up forward in the match sim
• Hewett moving through the midfield well
• Duggan is leading pretty well and looks to be a full time mid in drills
• Cripps still helps set a training standard
• Baker is in the thick of everything and works his arse off to provide an option coming out of defence
• McGovern was in the contested drill so whatever issue there was with his ribs must’ve been minor
• Archer took one really nice pack mark and presented well
• Maric is on a steep learning curve down back but is getting plenty of help from the coaches
• Gross and Allan were both very good in the match sim work. An early debut for Allan looms
• Hall provided some good run also and is looking very fit
• Nice to see Bazzo do the contested match sim
• Rawlinson had a good session and isn’t looking out of place
• Didn’t mind some of Burgiel’s work in the match sim - still lacks conditioning though
• Brock had his hands full with Reid
• Kelly got a full session in as well
• Shanahan with a great run down tackle at one point to cause a turnover

Coaches were very vocal with their instructions on what they wanted players to do - gaining territory as fast as possible is the primary focus

Archer and JWill the last to leave the track as they stayed at to practice some set shot goal kicking

I could go back and scan past reports, but while I think of it, where has Barnett generally been training so far this pre-season?

 

[Keys]

Sounds like Allan is under notice

But seriously, what’s your job? because you get to training pretty much all the time. Very jealous.

Sub-contract work so can choose my own hours, although I do have a morning commitment that means 9.30 is the earliest I can get there. So it’s problematic for me when they start early

I could go back and scan past reports, but while I think of it, where has Barnett generally been training so far this pre-season?

Tbh, they haven’t done a lot of work in their line groups but when they have Barnett has usually been with the backs

 

[ROYAL EAGLE]

Training was good today had wafl guys as top ups
Outstanding on track was Wes Walley
Kicked two goals outside 50 in match Sim after great tackles looked so so classy
Hunt on the wing was outstanding
Baker was good but turned over few kicks
Sandy Brock kicking is elite but very left sided Archer Reid beat him in some one on one's close to goal when at chb Brock was much better took some marks and used the footy very well
Jamie Cripps was the hardest worker on the track
Flynn and Coen both really struggled in the ruck weather got to them both
Shannan marking is a joy too watch
Waterman wins nearly everyone one on one true a grader
Hewitt was very classy but didnt get a lot of it
Hall was good looks like he has his breakaway pace again
Bo Allan in one of the drills got the ball was tackled by Jack Williams broke the tackle spinned out accelerated away then did a brilliant kick to the forward was amazing play coaches and players where amazed

FINALLY a gameplan from the 2020's.

And the Baker note is fantastic as well.

 

[ConcreteWaters]

Outstanding on track was Wes Walley

Good work- he's not easy to spot. Crazy for a bloke to be wearing a beanie in summer though

 

[ROYAL EAGLE]

QUINTEN lynch and son was at training
So was Colin Young had really good chat with him
He is not signing up WA talent any more
Is concentrating on Vic boys and Irish talent as signed a few Irish boys and has one he thinks will be the next dangerfield said he is really special
He lives six months of the year in Vic now brought house and has officers there McDougall looks after wa boys

 

[ROYAL EAGLE]

Harry Barnett is noticeably bigger had a chat he doesn't know if he will play CHB or ruck but feels a lot more confident with extra size he has put on said his running had improved a lot
Mini was giving it a lot to Liam Ryan last in running and in match Sim wasn't moving enough and told him of
But in the drills kicking to forwards he was the best by a long way
Mini favourite seems to be Wes Walley was constantly praising him

[RanaNaved]

Walley got a bit of Flyin in his game

 

[RanaNaved]

Archer the next Tom Lynch (Richmond one)

 

[RanaNaved]

We may never lose another match

 

[JoshWoodenSpoon]

Walley already our best player.

 

[RanaNaved]

Big Bo has eye-popping moments

 

[Goroyals22]

Walley got a bit of Flyin in his game

Hopefully not the lazy attitude bit

EAGLES TRAINING NOTES: Match sim offers up position clues

West Coast’s match simulation session on Friday morning offered up some clues as to where the likes of Bo Allan, Ryan Maric and Jack Hutchinson may be positioned next season. Here’s what we saw.

Article mentions Hutchinson playing wing in match sim - can’t say I saw him out there

ROYAL EAGLE - did you see Hutchinson out there?

 

[1Bally1]

How did the nga boys go ?

ROYAL EAGLE - did you see Hutchinson out there?

Didn't notice Hutchinson he was on far side
Also Allan was in the middle in match Sim was only on Owies for a couple of minutes not sure why the west said he was with defence looked as main mid ?

 

[Astro7]

Mini was giving it a lot to Liam Ryan last in running and in match Sim wasn't moving enough and told him off...

Interesting. Ryan gets a bit of shtick on here for his lite running. Slow to adapt to new game style - run, run, run?

 

[RanaNaved]

Gross reminds me a little of Dane Swan

 

[WCEswift]

always been a little lazy at training and preseason

 

[FKASC]

Simon already our best player

 

[Dark Sharks]

Good. Ryan hasn't had a quality AFL season since 2021.

Get up him Mcqualter.

 

[ROYAL EAGLE]

Simon already our best player

Sorry about that every time I said sim auto correct changed it to Simon
Thanks for pointing it out
