[Shinboner1]

Assume the running drills were after the math sim stuff?

yeah after the drills they did some shuttle runs

 

[KillaKanga]

Duursma looks like a young Kayne Turner

his kicks are very clean

But did he handball it directly AT Zane's feet who would have been running into an open goal instead was turned around and folded by a clumsy X and (need I go on?


So many of my mates are saying North are going to be fun to watch as early as this year.

Training notes 24/11/23

- Spoke with Daniel Cross 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:

Midfield: Leigh Adams
Forwards: Xavier Clarke
Defence: Jed Adcock
Head of Dev: Michael Barlow
Midfield Dev: Adam Marcon
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.

McDonald was there at the start with Griff and the rehab group but he went in pretty early.

 

[JGreezy]

I have a feeling that McKercher might step in and immediately be one of our best players, a la Sheezel. He seems like a gun.

And Hardeman might play a fair bit early. He does what we want from the backline and seems mature.

 

[Skarrz]

The looks on their faces are like they just drafted to the Noble era NMFC

 

[R00StaR]

Duursma looks like a young Kayne Turner

Pheww we needed a new KT

Opening some ALT accounts just so I can like this again

 

[king rising]

Will Phillips ‘tapping out’… running a bit too hard for him?

 

[Mav]

mmm, math sim. Was it compound interest based with a view towards property investment?

 

[joegreen]

body is good, but legs having trouble.

So not likely related to glandular? or unsure?

Has greenwood finally returned to training at least rehabbing?

Or didn’t show up at all when you say didn’t train?

Are there real concerns around Comben's recovery from that ankle injury? This is the second time I have heard he is having ongoing issues, I worry that he may struggle to get back

He looked like he was struggling today.

Cross didn’t seem overly concerned. More intimated that some days he feel great and others he doesn’t. Reading between the lines he probably is a bit frustrated as body has let him down, but no indication he won’t be able to build back to full fitness.

 

[My Left Foote]

mmm, math sim. Was it compound interest based with a view towards property investment?

Well apparently he's a bust so he's working on his back up plan.

Bard running the class

 

[Premieroos]

 

[zoomba23]

Goad's a goofy looking bugger isn't he

 

[ChopChopDigDig]

Kerch is going to be a star. Can't wait to see him, Sheeze and Wardlaw together round 1.

 

[Amicalola]

Genuinely gutted about Philips, hope he's doing alright. Also a bit concerned about Tarryn - maybe I should stop looking at this thread, it just makes me stressed!

Great pics GR. Thank you.

Great pics GR. Thank you.

They're from the "Footy Is Life Nothing Else Matters" Facebook page. Credit where credit is due Glynn Lavender took the photos.

 

[Heaps of fun]

We definitely didn't fall for any "man child" types. Hardeman looking the most physically developed for his position. I don't see why he doesn't play a lot of footy, he has very poor competition between Fisher, Bergman, Goater and McDonald for that second HB spot opposite Sheezel.
