[Daicos Torpedo]

Thanks Jen! How did Bear look?

 

[Jen2310]

Thanks Jen. Nice work and a terrific morning for it as well. Which coaches were in attendance?

Bucks, Selwood, and believe Sanderson/Harvey and skipworth was there. But thats about it.

 

[Jen2310]

How did Tohil and Wilson look ?

Looking more comfortable I'd say. I'm expecting big summers from them both

 

[Jen2310]

Thanks Jen! How did Bear look?

Looks good. Strong.

, Noble, Pendles, Adams, Cameron, Lynch, Kelly, Sidebottom, Roughy, Murphy, WHE, Bianco, Sier, Maynard, Howe, Ruscoe, Mihochek, Keane, Tohil, Madgen, Cox, Wilson

Draftees: Reef, McMahon, Poulter, Henry, Mccreery, Macrae.

I didn't expect to see the draftees train on day 1, as in previous years they usually watch for a while while they do other things inside. So to my surprise, that's what they did do.
They came out with training guernseys on. Still ISC....

Reef was in #26 (Daicos looked to be in #7 inside the gym...), McMahon was in #29, Henry #35, Mccreery in #31, Macrae #18 and Poulter in #27 (kelly was spotting #20)

They did a warm up session first.

Then they split into line groups, and did some, ball work.

In the middle of the ground they were set up for what I thought was a yo-yo test, but it was this..



Of course Rantall wins it.

He won't have too much competition when they do the 2KM at some point (maybe Monday? or first day back in the new year?)

On the sidelines Howe and Tay was doing some running. Adams then participated in the ballm work and training, Howe I think is taking it easy with his knee. Probably will ramp things up post-christmas.

The vibe with the group was good. Lots of smiles and laughs. The draftees seem to be intergrating in the group fairly well.

Reef seemed to be shadowing Pendles for a fair while. And matched up against him in contests.... :O

Post session- Rantall did extra midfield work with the coach, along with Madgen, I think it was.

Cox stayed afterwards as he does and practice set shots at goal.


Sidenotes:

Murphy looked good. Looks fit and if he has a good pre-season I don't see why he shouldn't be in consideration for games early in the season.
Kelly looks strong.
Rantall I think we're gonna see a strong year from.
Sidebottom was everywhere. He will be looking at getting in a strong summer.
WHE took a real nice mark against the flight of the ball.
Bianco with nice skills and kick, always finds a target.

Explains why Cox is the best set shot at Collingwood!

 

[Get Gaffed]

Thanks for the reports. I'm excited to see how they go this season.

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Looks good. Strong.

Like hearing that about Sier. He is one that needs a full preseason, as much will be expected from him in 2021.

Great report, and terrific to read alot of the senior boys there starting their preseason earlier. Also l think its great the draftees got to train with the group today. What an experience for those boys.

Happy to see Sier return early. On the same note, disappointed to see JDG stay away. He should be throwing everything he has at these next couple of years if he wants to be worth seven figures.

Considering he isn't obligated to even be training at this point, I wouldn't think too much of it.

It's not even Christmas and he's back when he's not even supposed to be. Jog on.

True, but he also may be on a different programme and may just be restricted to the gym at the moment.

I'm tipping Howe will be itching for the 2021 season to start...

Thing about next year is that we need the likes of Sier, Daicos, Keane, T Brown, Wilson , Murphy, Noble & IQ to take the next step given the changes & injection of young kids. Still think Kelly, Bianco & Rantall a year or two away. Need a good run with injuries as well!

A good run with injuries is something Buckley has never had. In his first five years, I put this down to pure bad luck, but even in 2018 we were still without key personnel that probably made the difference.

Richmond has had four years of minimal injuries on its way to 3 flags. There's an element of luck in any flag, but the facts speak for themselves. Richmond's players have been far more resilient and have recovered in shorter time-frames than Collingwood's.

It can't be just bad luck for us; something's wrong and has been for years.

100% agree with that sentiment. I reckon they had a good chat with Sier, and told him shape up or ship out. Degoey will never be a Pendlebury, but I’d point out to him that he could easily end up like the fat guy that left the dogs to go to Essendon ( I’ve forgotten his name!).

Yep it’s a mix of luck, genetics but also our brutally taxing game plan.

is there training today? Usually the 2km trial isn't it?

I think the last few years have been bad luck, but the first few - all the industry talk was of us over-training the players, which I believe in regards to Bucks's motto of the time - we've just got to work harder .

 

[TradeDraft]

Yes there is

 

[Daicos Torpedo]

Yes there is

Where's Jen and Apples!

 

[Jen2310]

I think that will be first week back in January
