[sammy_18]

went down to arden street to watch the boys train. they looked good in the full ground drill with grant not missing a target and brad moran did well edwards was one of the last to leave the training track practiceing his shots for goal which was good to see and gibson, petrie and grima didnt do the main drills with the group.

Good to hear that Azza is practising his shots at goal.

How was Smith? Will he play this week?

I watched Jesse closely. Not the prettiest kicking action but didn't miss a target. Still reckon he needs a week or two to get the touch back but he was generally yummo.

I watched Hutchy a couple of times. One passage he actually looked very impressive. Took the ball at pace, carried it a few metres and launched off a nice pass to a moving target 40 metres down field.

Didn't really stay long but noticed that Urquhart gets some nice distance in his kicking and Goldy took a couple of clamps in an end-to-end drill. I like the look of the kid.

Thanks for the report boys.

I hope Grima was not carrying a niggle after playing less than 40% of the last game.

Thanks for the report Sammy.
Good to get some info on the training side of things.

I doubt Grant ever misses targets at training. He's just such a beautiful kick but when he misses in games i feel it's more a mental thing with him.

What can you actually take from training? I was at Carrara last Friday and the training was poor, lots of missed targets and just sloppy stuff from Gibson especially but Saturday night it was pretty good! Gibson missed a few targets and spat the chewy with a few expletives and then went straight down after training, if you were that dirty with yourself why not hang around as Edwards has and practice some more!

Training at Arden Street kills GC.

From my experience some of my teams best games were after crap training sessions. That's not to say that training well didn't also produce good games just to add to your point about what can you take from training.
As for staying out longer after training badly well i disagree. If the training has been crap then best to just end it. Staying out doesn't help when you are in that frame of mind.

Edwards staying out however is excellent. He is thinking that he has been given an opportunity to kick some goals and he wants to make sure of it. This is the type of training that comes in handy when playing in a pressure game.
I like to use Mathew Lloyd as example here. If you had to kick a goal after the siren to win a game i would want this bloke to take the kick. Why? Because he has practiced this moment so many times and always has a set routine which he has done thousands of times before.

All North players should watch videos of Mathew Lloyd lining up for goal.

Edwards is interesting as his field kicking seems very good and yet he has a stuttering set shot style. Just keep thinking the guy kicked 100 goals in the vfl so he must be a reasonable kick. After Saturday night its hard not to think the guy could be a great pick up and a bag of goals arent far away!
