Yes, there was training today but no 2km time trial as I was hoping.
Different ball drills, in pretty challenging warm and very windy conditions.
Focus on disposal by foot under pressure.
Transition work and delivery inside 50 to a leading target
Little bit of contested work
I only attended for 90mins.
Some observations
Howe doing run throughs and laps and moving at a good pace and with no noticeable impediment. On track for Rd 1
Daicos also doing a little bit of run-through work to the side but also some kicking.
Both are making good progress
Lots of fresh faces - all our draftees I gather were in attendance. Hard day for controlling skills today accordingly.
Henry impressed me in that respect with his ball movement. Got outpointed by WHE in 1vs1 but was too tall for one of the rookies he competed with.
Macrae is generally a safe user
Reef tries to use both feet, which is encouraging but his right foot isn't as compact as I would hope.
Coulter only uses the left side and I think scrubs some kicks by trying to kick too low. Has some nice pace though
Mcmahon is athletic and tries to use both feet
Senior players absent - Moore, Elliott, DeGoey, Brothers Brown, Thomas, Mayne, Sidebottom, Sier, Maynard, Cox, Tohill, Keane, Greenwood
Most noticeable change in shape - Will Kelly has really continued to fill out. Encouraging to see

I'd have thought Jake Stringer was the better match for the size and type of player you're describing.
De Goey looks in good shape on Insta at present

I’ll say this. Some senior players should be worried for their spots!

Hopefully C Brown, Thomas and WHE are all under the pump.I’ll say this. Some senior players should be worried for their spots!

Thanks Albert. That's nice work for a 90 minute stay. You must have been busy. Nice to hear Kelly is looking stronger. Was Maxy in attendance?

Thanks Apples. I didn't see Nick Maxwell. Only Max Lynch.
Cox would only be worried if we actually had someone who could take his spot. I don't think we do. Having said that, I reckon we will see a much more dangerous Cox next year.

That would appear to be a certainty seeing as he was playing this season with impaired eyesight.
Hope the big bloke lights it up - would love to see some keyboard warriors here squirm.

Nah plays currently...the weapon. I can’t even be stuffed googling him, he’s that irrelevant

I must have missed something. I thought Cox had his eyes operated on about 2 years back. Why did he have a problem with his eyesight in 2020?

Last year but I think it takes months to heal properly I think

Thanks for the report Albert. How did Rantell and Bianco look? Was Ruscoe up and about?

The boys are up and about. The houses are copping a hammering. This photo was taken near Collingwood's latest training session.

Essendon tried an “injection of young kids”, and it all went to shit...

I’d be more inclined to say Kelly, with Wilson as the third tall.

Rantall was the one I noticed most.
Did some work at the start with Quaynor where they worked on hitting a marking target inside 50.
Perhaps gave me the sense that IQ might play further afield this year.
Rantall's skills have improved and he's been working on his left foot. He's a solid size now and is obviously our best runner by some distance now.
Bianco has skill, but he looks so small and physically underdeveloped. Look at him relative to Caleb Poulter in the club's training photos.
Ruscoe was largely training on the far side of the oval from where I was sitting. He moves well.
Kelly Mihocek Cox should be the combination round 1
