Hopefully just precautionary.

Legs gave up and told the trainer he couldn't do it. Was struggling to get any real power all session

Hopefully it's just a loading issue and nothing more serious, this kid needs to have an uninterrupted preseason.

 

[The Nostradamus]

First time down to training this year.
The boys look a lot fitter than previous years.
Griff looks in ripper shape, doing sprints this morning, you would barely know he's coming off an ACL.

how the draftees look?

Was Griff doing any change of direction or just straight line running?

Straight running and kicking

Crikey, imagine having to tackle AFL players on your first day at work

 

[joegreen]

McKercher reminds me so much of Ben Cousins.

Colby BOG by a mile from those pics!

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Looks like McKercher brought his own footy to training!

 

[KillaKanga]

Colby BOG by a mile from those pics!

Just pictures but looks like he's already a ball winner who has a bit of time.

 

[Flawed Genius]

Maley looks like a big bastard.

Duursma's width across the shoulders. Will be large when he fills out

 

[King Hansen]

Duursma looks like a young Kayne Turner

WillPhil looks in ripping knick. Hope his leaving the track early is nothing serious.

That's what I thought seeing that photo of LDU. Imagine being an inside mid draftee and seeing that steamrolling towards you on day 1...

 

[Passmore]

giantroo do you know who the non listed players are training with us?

Downie and Sellers I recognise and I didn't notice Davis there, but there was somebody out there I didn't recognise. Looked quite a mature body....

Assume the running drills were after the math sim stuff?

regarding those not involved in full training. Most are tracking well. There is some concern that Tarryn’s groin issues haven’t improved but he’ll continue to be managed. Comben trained well but having “good days and bad days”. Brayden George and Zurhaar look lean. McDonald, Greenwood and a few others didn’t train.

- Confirmed coaching structure as I was previously unsure:

Forward Dev/VFL: Tom Lynch
Def Dev: Jarrod Leinart

- New draftees: Mckercher headed many of the running drills he was involved in. Agile, good skills, round 1 lock. Goad is a big boy. Fell behind in some of the running but think he should aim to play this year. Didnt catch much of Duursma’s work, but I was underwhelmed by his height and size. Hardeman loves hit. Runs 15m kick 55m. Nice kick. Dawson raw, Maley even rawer. All draftees participated in roughly half of training.

- Davies-Uniacke returned in career best nick and the club is stoked. Stephens look an astute get with his outside run and ball use and this stood out in game sim drills. Will be a huge asset for Larkey. Disappointed in how Fisher has returned. Work to be done. Sheezel among the elite runners at the club now and led most of the running with Stephens and Simpkin. It will be hard to usurp Simpkin as an on baller this year. Incredible gut runner and those looking to take his place don’t quite have the fitness base yet. Was also impressed by Stephensons efforts in training, as was Clarko. Spoke with Wardlaw who mentioned his hamstrings are feeling stronger and stronger. Completed 90% of the sessions. Barlow was working one on one with him. Phillips tapped out..

- Drills focused mainly on transitioning the ball, both via hand and foot in between big blocks of running.

- No idea where positions will land with key defence. Corr the most vocal on the track and will lead the backline. Nothing stood out with Dawson, Nyoun, Pink.

- All in all our leaders and best players have set a strong example to start the preseason in the way they’ve presented and trained. Need to bring a few along with them.
