Training Training reports 2024

Suprised no one’s mentioned Larkey. Has kicked a thousand and looked classes above anyone.

Has really only had Will Dawson and VFL players on him today. 4-5 goals when the midfield is winning should be standard for him now.

 

[Twinkletoes]

Cooper Harvey’s developing nicely. Powell looks much better also. Delicious!

 

[roos_tt29]

LDU playing this well in this gear is so gross...

...in a good way

 

[Grogg]

Great goal by Larks. Xerri holding his marks too.

Yeah he has held a couple of strong grabs this quarter. Good signs.

 

[the big lebowski]

Finbar has looked really good

 

[shintemaster]

Firstly, not that I've read any of it due to work. Thanks for all the comments and thoughts.
Secondly, which lunatic is responsible for no gameday thread? Would be much easier to read all this in one thread IMO separate to the pre season one.

 

[Grogg]

Phillips 1st hands in the square again.

 

[Twinkletoes]

Finally found a benefit to working from home. Great effort from all players. Zero injuries. Bring on the Pies!

I work from home on a Wednesday so was thrilled that the game was moved. Can't wait to get the season started!

injured ? i don't recall seeing him at all after he was heavily praised in recent weeks

 

[joegreen]

Duursma been on the bench for awhile now.

He was having his finger taped up at one point, maybe they decided to call it a day. Didn't look anything serious.

 

[ferball]

Ease up. He's got to keep fresh for the Taylor Swift concerts.

I hear Curtis Goad is a swift Taylor ... wait ... what?

he definitely played in the first quarter. dont think i saw him after that, now that you mention it.

 

[Pns_blister]

Oh my George Wardlaw. Some of the things he did today were very impressive. Did some nice work sneaking out the front of the stoppage getting some handball receives too… not to mention his inside work. Such a special talent. That draft is looking more outrageous with every day that passes.

 

[Daniltchenko You Beauty]

About as good as we could have hoped for. Everyone showed a bit.

LDU, George, Kerch and Sheez taking the absolute piss. Saw enough out of Pink, Chom and Biggie that we're not completely screwed in defence. X good in the ruck (against little competition). Lazz buzz accurate. Would be some story.

We are going to look ****ing fantastic at stages this year. Ball movement looked sensational when it was on. Defence will be the question but promises to be an exciting season off that.

 

[Nate1993]

Up until 5 mins into the last, I had Lazz in the top 5 on ground

 

[Moti]

There are probably 30 players who could start round 1. Will come down to what balance the coaches want across the ground.

Do you focus on inside ball winners are more general mids?
Do you focus on run and skill out of the backline or better defenders?
Do you focus on more natural forwards or do you add an extra mid and rest them forward?

Personally I would go with Powell who has a really good balance inside and out, but the other extra mid could come down to whether you want predominately an inside mid (Philips) or a 2nd possession runner (Laz).

 

[Its a Process]

I only saw the first half but I really liked the look of Goater - looks in outstanding condition.

I think all of the below play round 1

Ldu - solely centre square mid
Warlord- solely centre square mid
Phillips - solely centre square mid

Simpkin - mid/hff/wing
Powell - mid/hff/wing

 

[King Corey]

Wardlaw just manhandled Curtis Taylor then. Kind of hilarious.

Curtis will turn the tables when it's time to go backstage for Tay Tay though.

 

[scottywiper]

Lazzarro used the ball well, which has been a knock on him.
Need ro see if he can maintain that when intensity lifts.
Good on him if he can.

[king rising]

Sensational footballer.
