Training Summer Footy Fix - 2022 training watch

[Blackhawk42]

Nowhere near it.

It's cured when someone plays
A) more than 50 games in it.

Or

B) There is a premiership player with that number.

You ain't outa the woods yet mate.

Poor Moorey. Not even 4th in a B&F and elite status is enough to break the curse. It's clearly a heavy burden!

First he has to learn a bit of “Self Awareness” before we train him up to do harder tasks.

Your waffle here is so prolific that you could open a chain of diners - keep riding that high horse like that and you’ll be entering it in the Melbourne Cup this year.

If they’re on your list I’d be looking at a rebuild.

isn’t setting the world alight. I thought he wasn’t as bad as others seemed to last year - but at this rate would he be falling behind in the pecking order? Quite the turnaround from being our mid-term Omith replacement to possibly playing at Box Hill in 12 months.

An interesting problem to have but with Bramble heading the Group
of HBF’s pushing up the ground where do Morrison and Howe play ??

exactly up the ground, with MacDonald & Ward rotating though the wings aswell

 

[SunshineHawkCal]

who's everyone focusing in on with upcoming matches to show how some stand up to actual opposition?

Just the midfield cohesion in general for me...

I'd have them pencilled in for both wings rotating with ward and mcdonald with phillips missing out. Having your quick skilful players on the hbf seems to be the way footy is going to be played , run and carry on turnovers and go directly through the middle of the ground suits cj,impey and bramble perfectly.

Hard to say based on the one intra club but IMO I would have Morrison and Howe ahead of him. I would also be picking Ward, Macdonald, Nash, and Newcombe before Tom. We'll get a better picture with the community series games coming up. They'll all get a chance to press their case with the expanded benches.

I think the gameplan suits Magginess alot, if you look past his poor footskills

Excellent problem to have. If Phillips is pushed out it means a younger player is excelling. If a young player needs a spell he comes right back in.

Howe’s ability to play wing, as a defensive/negating midfielder and off the halfback line makes him a very valuable bench player for mine.

 

[H00t]

Aside from watching the youngsters. Our ball movement, especially out of the back half and into the middle. Can we generate speed and free flowing footy? Or will we go back to being stagnant once the pressure is turned up.

 

[jenniferHAWKinS]

We need lots of run and carry from our wingman, not just our half back flankers so no to Morrison and Howe for me. Bramble, Day, Ward, MacDonald and the 2022 Newcombe to play wing.

Shouldn’t you say

“If their on you’re list..”?

We have a million talented HBers basically.

So that letter about the size of the list, wasn't referring to the individual players' sizes but rather the actual 1,000,000+ players on it. hmmm... A tad over officious there from the AFL.

Totes. Interesting from some many angles too - will the coaching group make a big difference, who will play in the wing positions, will Macca, Duke, Nash and/or Wardo become best 22? Exciting times

I’d add in the forwardline. Similar questions
