I've not followed it that closely - but how are athletes generally recovering from COVID? Some of the effects of 'long COVID' sound horrific, so I'm concerned about the respiratory (and therefore fitness) for any of our guys getting it. I know it has been running rife through ELP and NBA etc.

Nadal had it late last year and seems to be fine at the Aus Open. Kyrgios had it a only a few weeks back and said it hit him fairly hard but he is playing again. I don't follow every single player in the NBA and NFL who have had it but I don't know of any off hand who have struggled to come back.

Djoka had it. Seems to be out of it

Yeah, if I get covid-19 then I definitely want it to be the tennis variant.

Same if I'm ever given 'only 1 week to live', I want that week to be made up of 10,080 NBA minutes - I'll take a 3 month vacation & still have 12-18 months to get my stuff in order.
 
Maybe he would be number one if he hadn’t gotten Covid though 🤪

Josh Giddey got it, in his return game he became the youngest person in the NBA to drop a triple double! Anecdotal evidence suggests it may enhance performance

Seems that most these guys are getting Omicron which seems to have mild symptoms and mild / if any long COVID.

There were a few nba and epl players who got the OG COVID who complained of chest issues, smelling and taste, headaches etc well after infection, but it seems like we aren’t getting these touch wood.

Can read some stuff here.

Finn mcdonald ward and morrison
Shiels worps ward and finn
Howe mcdonald jom titch

Combinations of these. Recently we got nash and newk back in there

And throwing in Chad just makes the mouth salivate..
 
Are we anticipating more Box Hill guys to join in with the AFL squad?

Given the AFL directive to have the maximum list numbers available week to week it would make sense to have a few supplementary guys from Box Hill stay involved during the season.

Jut got back from beach so traning today

Beautiful day down at Waverley and it was a long session

No Shows
Brockman, Morris

Rehab
Gunston, Seamus, Saunders, Wingard, CJ and Day

Limited program
Howe, JOM, Downie, DGB

Box Hill
Blanck, Parsons, Adduci, Mascitti

Academy
Zane Duursma and (Can't remember his name) really short guy

Seamus didn't didn't do much and went up real early

Saunders involved in running on the far side

Wingard hasn't done much since spraining his ankle last week

CJ, Day and Gunston are of course on their own program. Gunston extensively involved in coaching the forwards covering the loss of Hale who has been missing because of Covid

Howe and JOM and Downie did most of the training they were involved in the intra but didn't do all of it Howe finishing up first followed by JOM and Downie who ended doing laps. DGB was on light duties again today and did a lot of running. He is still behind the 8 ball as far as his aerobic fitness is concerned will need a couple more preseasons before

Training was all about the same transition drills on the wing keepings off from a stoppage then getting it out to a runner who delivers into 50
Hand ball and kicking drills.

They also had some Forwards V defenders with a kicker kicking the ball deep into the forward line. Sic marked the ball both times to end the drill. Great to have him back. He was involved in the drill twice before being forced to sit out the rest so that they could actually get others involved. He has put on some size its going to be hard to shift him from the ball once he has his eyes on it.

We then had the intra. 2 10 minute qtrs and a 4 minute 3rd qtr. The numbers were vastly reduced to a 14 a side in the last qtr

The highlights of the intra already alluded to in here was Ward kicking a goal from the center from a tap and JOM handball out while being tackled right into Ward's hands streaming inside 50 without breaking stride poetry in motion.

Bramble involved off half back give and go getting it back running on egged on by his team mated to kick the goal nailed it from 45.

Maginness with stiff arm fend off playing on Worpel i had some real reservations about the boy prior to this pre season but he really is one to watch coming into the season. Confidence is sky high and he demands the ball a great pre season so far looking forward to seeing him against Richmond

Callow also had a good day out the benefit of blocking frees. Lewis took a great hanger over poor old Scrimshaw as the play of the day. He also kicked the goal from 35

The boys started to tire and we had a pretty haphazard 3qtr where our skills degraded. Luckily that ended quickly to avoid me talking about it any further

One other thing i have noticed is that JOM's ball drop when he is kicking it has changed. He looks to have worked on his kicking over the summer.

The boys then ran 200m interval / shuttle training runs as i left to go to the beach with the family

Till next time

Anything on Titch/Sicily in the intra?

Titch is a ball magnet keeping the ball out of his hands is impossible. He ends up being in the right spots to get it. To the casual observer the ball just seems to follow him around. I didn't notice Sic during the intra
