Training Training reports 2024

[The Dingrel]

Sellers is an interesting one as a potential afl pick up. He is a tad undersized for a kpf, but has sticky hands, good leading patterns and is a proven vfl goal kicker. He isn’t slow, but I think he lacks some athleticism. From a structural pov, he wouldn’t ruck much, but could play as an undersized chf.

Ford - Sellers - Stevo
Duursma - Larkey - Zurhaar

I/C: Curtis/Harvey

With the above structure with Ford/Duursma/Zurhaar as the pseudo third kpfs , there is clear need for a genuine second chf tall. I understand the second ruck situation, but Comben and even sellers/Greenwood could potentially work with a 90/10 split with X.

Could that be improved substantially in a full time AFL environment?

Ohh you’re one of those losers that calls out a spelling error. You would be real fun I’m sure.

Nah. I pointed it out so you don’t make a twat of yourself in future in other situations. And did so politely as well. But here you are complaining about being educated. Guess you will continue to be your name. Off you toddle.

 

[buttox]

Then we should wait about 95 more hours, you reckon?

The only thing that would hurry us would be sellers getting taken by another club.

 

[buttox]

Yep, the first one more so than the second one.

Second one would effect the salary cap.
Say we sign sellers for a 100k rookie contract and he gets a 10 week injury the next day
List spot wasted and 100k salary down the toilet.

So if North dont pick Sellers ( which l hope they do) will they maybe go for Lowson. Also when do they have to make the selection by?

Monday night.

Without doubt the most pleasing part of yesterday was watching our game plan and ball movement. I remember this time last year, watching Ziebell and McDonald stop & prop post turnover, slow stagnant ball movement. Fast forward to yesterday, bold, fast ball movement, run & gun. Sheezel, Goater, Mckercher & Bergman are such a nice mix of precision footskills and speed. It is very aligned to how we played against GC.

Awesome.

I don't want to bring the excitement down too much, but it was North against North. I'll believe it when I see it in a H&A context

 

[The Big O]

I'm hearing we will draft Sellers and trial him across half back.

I have also been keen on Lowson for a while now, however I'm sure I heard a rumor that he didn't want to be drafted to an AFL list???

100%, it will win us a few games (like the Gold Coast game last year) and lose us a few games because we'll be caught / exposed on turnovers but it's a much better proposition than losing because we're slow and can't move the ball with any speed or precision.

Good question as I don't have a definitive answer for you. Certainly aspects like speed and strengthening work can certainly improve athleticism, but to what degree is debatable.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Has anyone worked out who all the VFL players were that played yesterday? Obviously there was Davis, Sellers, Downie, Lienert and Lowson. De La Rue played and kicked a goal. Who was the blond kid and the kid with the wavy mullet thing going on? They looked pretty handy tbh. There was also another defender who might have been mixed up as Paul Curtis by some watching, not sure who he is.

Lol that's a seriously underrated movie. I reckon one of the best spoof movies, unearthed a fair few future stars, only a couple of missteps with a couple of the gross out scenes but a pretty solid joke hit rate.

 

[Shinboner1]

its a shame mcdonald is an auto include in the backline, it looks better without him.

 

[Kanga Glory]

Thanks GR, only just got power back on, can now watch it

 

[Ocha905]

It's strange to try and evaluate intraclub's. Fwiw I thought some individual performances were mind-blowing whilst the overall standard was underwhelming. No surprises who caught the eye, they've been given plenty of flowers.

At least they're trying to instill a positive gameplan. Hopefully it clicks like it did with the 2012 North team.

The blond kid was (I think) Charlie Harrop, played Coates league with Sandringham

Besides Sellars, he was the one who most impressed me

Looser appliers to describing something as “roomier or less tight,” (I needed to find a looser sweater)

Yeah yeah, all you people with your spieling and your definations and stiff.

 

[Waynesworld]

Anyone know if the lads are training tomorrow and if so, what time?

Jeesus dude, they've just played a balls n all full intraclub match which everyone is reviewing and you're asking about training tomorrow...?

Didn't realise you were from NZ mate

I doubt that.
He could play edfl and get 20 times the money he gets in the VFL.
