Training Report: Thursday Nov 9, 2017

I was on my morning walk through Yarra Park and decided to pop over to have a coffee at the Glasshouse. Surprised to see players on the track, so decided to stay a while.

Players in attendance:
Smith, Moore, Crocker, Kirby, Langdon, Sharenberg, McLarty, Daicos, Sam Murray, Cox, Wills, DeGoey, Aish, Sier, Adams (gym only), Moore, Phillips, Maynard

New Looks:
No new summer hairstyles to report except that Darcy Moore has reverted to his natural colour again. Brayden Sier was sporting not just one piece of nose jewellery, but two; a stud in his right nostril and a gold sleeper in his left.

The players arrived in two groups about 20 minutes apart. The first group jogged/walked a lap and then rotated through four exercise stations. All involved stretching/rolling designed to massage any soreness from yesterday’s hill runs. Players used medicine balls and other soft equipment to roll upon.

Then players were placed into pairs for boxing drills. Poor James Aish scored Rupert Wills as his partner, which looked like a mismatch to me, but as it turned out, it wasn’t. Wills didn’t seem at all comfortable in this exercise and couldn’t find his balance. Aish on the other hand moved really well.

Brayden Sier looked very comfortable here. His footwork suggested he has done a bit of boxing. Looked a complete natural and was beautifully balanced. Mason Cox on the other hand, looked like a fish out of water.

As one group exited the arena the next arrived and went through the same routine. I heard the trainer in charge tell the players that the drills were to prepare them “for tomorrow.” Three days in a row on the track; that’s a tough return.

Other Observations:
•Kayle Kirby looks to have maintained his body over the break. He's not svelte at all, but he isn't the blimp that he was this time last year. That's a good thing.
•Brayden Maynard looks to have slimmed down a bit. It could be the dark, training t-shirt that made him appear slimmer, but I don't think so. I almost didn't recognise him.
•Brayden Sier moved as well as I've ever seen him.
•Jordan DeGoey looks super fit and ready to roll.

Ta Neil
Appreciate as always

 

[Vicky Park]

Great report. Some good news/good signs regarding Kirby, Sier and JDG. I hope Maynard slimming down is part of some grand plan, which wont diminish his bull-like strength and demeanour.

 

[cleomenes]

Thanks. An interesting thread at this time of year is gold, even if the news to report is not that startling.

 

[Hong Kong Pie]

Yes, much appreciated.

 

[Saintly Viewed]

Thanks Neil Mazzarjo
Great report- very much appreciated.

I'm looking more and more to Sier now.

Beautiful day today as well

 

[Horaceg]

Thanks and appreciated,

Great work Mazza...you're a star

 

[left at home]

Continuing your very good work, many thanks.

JDG is the one this pre-season. I think he is the most important player this pre-season because he is the one that can elevate himself to an A grade player. It would make such a big difference to the side.

Yep. JDG and Moore need to become A grade or close to it for us to make kind of noise next year.

 

[Gone Critical]

Love your work M

He needs to make up for last preseason.

Him and Blair....

 

[Jasper84]

Good to hear Langdon is out there from the start. Many forget how far back he had to come from to cement his spot and play well this year.

 

[Apples]

He needs to make up for last preseason.

Yes he does. Forgot to mention this and admittedly it's just a small thing, but I was surprised to hear Jordan offer to help Kevin White pack up the equipment this morning. It surprised because he hasn't had a reputation of being a good clubman. Nice to see and I hope its indicative of a young man trying hard to turn things around.

That reminds me of something pendles was saying about schaz last year; that rehab is a very lonely place and you dont truely feel part of the team at all. So considering he has spent alot of time the past two years in rehab this might just who he is being actually able to flourish.

The real story here is whether JDG (or anyone else for that matter) would've helped Daveron pack up.

Feel like broomhead should be training

He’s talking about JDG mate, not Sier.

It’s encouraging to hear that he might be learning some humility.

Good to see they've cloned Moore, one to play back, one to play forward! Kevin White showing his worth already.

 

[sr36]

I'm just glad that it sounds like there is going to be some variety in training this year. Last year's reports of "Kirby ran laps" sounded like a masterclass on boredom and demotivation.

 

[northpie]

Great report. Some good news/good signs regarding Kirby, Sier and JDG. I hope Maynard slimming down is part of some grand plan, which wont diminish his bull-like strength and demeanour.

If it's right he has dropped weight, guessing he is preparing for a midfield role , and has worked in the tank over the break.

 

[Scodog10]

Good to hear Langdon is out there from the start. Many forget how far back he had to come from to cement his spot and play well this year.

Langdon? The coaching group love him he was always getting that spot as soon as he was “fit”.
