Training The Thread Formerly Known As The Training Thread

[vicparksfinest]

Good to hear Ruscoe is adding another string to his bow, is a great utility size. Very much a Goldsack replacement as a back or forward.
Disappointing Sier didn’t impress, don’t know how long I can hold onto the hope of him being a gun.
Very excited about Noble, every track report has been Noble BOG! Will be amazing to see the kid flourish.
Rantall sounded busy and with a goal or 2 looks very promising, can’t wait for him to get his debut, if this keeps up wouldn’t be surprised if it’s soon.
The senior team is settled excerpts for the likes of Daicos/Madgen/T.Brown/Thomas one of which will make way for Stevo, based on last night I’d be moving out Thomas.
Varcoes move to defence will be great. Can’t wait to see Wilson-Quaynor-Kelly-Murphy push for seniors throughout the season.

I'm interested to know how Wilson went? And what position did he play?

Played on a wing all night (tends to be where he lines up or a HFF). Pretty quiet but got a couple of touches in the second half, including a shot on goal.

Ruscoe gave a good account of himself playing out of the square much of the night against Howe. He's pretty quick on a lead and has some strength about him. Showed some poise withe ball in hand too.
His kicking lets him down on set shots though to be played forward. I'd prefer Tom Wilson as a more natural forward amongst the younger, mid-size types.

I thought Sier was pretty good last night. Out pointed Wills for mine.
It was pretty difficult as a centre square mid for the white team when matched up against Grundy, Pendles, Sidey, Adams, DeGoey, Elliott.

Guess our best hope for footy this season to go to is find out when a Match Simulation is on and be there

I found he struggled to get his hands on the ball, but he was up against Roughy. But he had a few moments. Still very raw especially within his new role, so it'll take time.

and Missing pretty much all last season

Liked the reports on Rantall and Ruscoe. Could be a very good draft for us if these two plus Bianco can cement their places in the next couple of years. I Think Rantall will be the first one to do so. Has the ability to be a really solid goal kicking midfielder imo, has a knack for finding the goals.

I reckon could play RD2 IF we wanted to Fast Track him.

Keep Callum Brown Honest as he could play his Postion

 

[Jen2310]

Is their next training session on Monday morning, at around 9.30-10?

Right time, wrong day. Main session is 2 days before a game, so it should be on tuesday.

No. Standing up, hair up. Right hand side of the picture standing next to a guy.

I don’t think we should change the chemistry of the team too much but it’s always good to have players keeping other players honest.

True but been few months since we played so I don't think the Chemistry be as big thing as Normal.

Keep Players Honest make sure they don't Relax and Feel too Safe in there Postion

Agreed. I see all three of them as long term players for us.

 

[Capital Magpie]

Thanks so much Albert Parker, Jen2310 and Daicos Torpedo for the comprehensive match sim reports. Terrific detail and analysis, reading them I felt like I was there. And even if I had been, I doubt that I would have noticed everything that you guys did.

Well done and thank you. Being based up here I rarely get to see training or matches in the flesh, so I rely on the reports and insights of fellow travellers.

These reports are the main reason I joined BF.

 

[kickitolachie]

Like Capital Magpie, I am ever grateful to those who give the rest of us so much in these reports.

Don’t play Stevo, still needs to earn his spot. Long term this will do him good eventually.

Why would we choose to deprive the team of an exciting player with X Factor? Surely he plays if he's fit.

Agreed and it's not like there is a locked in format for him to play in if he's not picked either?

Shown that a break doesn't really affect him, played pretty well in both the finals after his lay-off with suspension last year.

AFL has told clubs they have the greenlight to organise practice matches for their players who don't get picked against other teams in the state.

KEEN!

Are you a Richmond fan? Not sure why Stevo has to earn his spot. He's been punished enough for last year's brain fade, and this year in pre-season and round 1, he was still coming back from glandular fever. We're not gonna hold him back for that, surely? If he's fit and healthy, we'd be crazy not to play him.

You should have gone and watched live then

 

[Pistol Night]

The fact that Stevos spot in the side is up for debate shows people have been in isolation for too long!

There was a really nice piece of play on the Ch 10 news tonight.
It started with Ty Brown evading WHE and dishing off a handball and ended up with IQ nicely hitting up Ruscoe on the lead

No interest in food, it's preparation and eating, or sheep? Oh.. ok you're from Canberra! I understand where you're coming from now.
