Review Training 2009/2010

[centrelink1]

Slightly random question, does anybody know where the boys will be training when there here in Perth? I know its highly unlikely, but...

 

[Slattery_20]

Would they do much of an open session?
Normally IIRC the open session is earlier in a (match) week - ie a Monday or Tues.

 

[yaco55]

The team normally has an unofficial open session ( when travelling interstate ) the day before the game.

 

[centrelink1]

Ill keep an eye out, and hopefully I can find where it is.

They had the full session at Windy Hill this morning. Probably travelled early arvo.

I am unsure whether the NAB Cup players joined in.

I believe there is some kind of function ( maybe at a shopping centre ) for the WA supporters later this afternoon.

 

[Ben the Gooner]

Yeah, XIDIGX will be going to their function thing tonight.

the nab cup team trained at windy hill this morning - jake melksham did not train so i presume he is out.

daniher trained later with a group after the nab cup squad left so he is also out of the squad.

colyer, still, hardingham, bock and mark williams all look set to play their first official game for the club tomorrow night.

gumby only walked a few laps before disappearing

After they made such a big deal of him playing? seems strange.
I think maybe it was more to do with his workload. They commented somewhere that he was tiring toward the ends of the week, so perhaps they gave him the training off so he is fresh tomorrow night.

It was the park across from the hotel.

He wasn't there so I guess he's not.

Can confirm.

 

[Big Blow Hard]

Confirm that too. Herald Sun reports he is down with a bout of gastro. Bummer, was looking forward to seeing him play.

 

[Skeeta Olly]

Training this morning?

HFF or efcboy may have gone.

What time are sessions now; still the unholy hour of 8am?

Sadly, I am a South - Eastern Suburbs boy, and starting work at 7am every day I sadly do not have any time to see training. I am however going to try and get to some more Bendigo (Melbourne Metro) games this year.

 

[skilgannon_au]

Missing Ant already.

 

[Kong]

The flip side being that we're weeks away from actual matches, so training reports are less important unless - Darwin forbid - we have some sort of unexpected injury.

 

[efcboy]

there's training tomorrow (friday) at 8am. unfortunately i cannot make it.

 

[Beerfish]

Excellent.

It's all go on the BF Essendon board.

Everyone post what they didn't see here tomorrow.

 

[Kong]

Ben said he'd go.

In all seriousness, I really intend on going at stages. The 8am start makes it nigh impossible for me to get there from Geelong in time. I'm never up at 8am, let alone 6!

Do they push the sessions to a later time as the season commences?

 

[teak]

I should be able to start going to training sessions once I start uni in a fortnight. I will be living at Monash[Clayton] so any recommendations whether I should just drive there, or is it easy to get to by public transport from Clayton?

During the season the training sessions are usually at 10am or 2pm.

They always train at 10am the day before a game.

Awesome, thanks mate.

 

[yaco55]

A couple of other things.

You can ring up the club and ask for the open training sessions for the following week - I did this when I was in Melbourne,July 2008 and the information was correct.

It is a good idea to arrive at a training session maybe 20 to 30 minutes earlier than the advertised time.

You may see some BF or BB members at training.
