It is, thanks.
Quick question, Jen:
Was Beggy showing any signs of an injury? (I know you mentioned him - just wondering if any more is known on his recent injury/knock).
No. I heard its stress related from running too much. Hopefully he is back soon.
 
Training: Feb 20th, 2023

Monday morning, as preparations begin for this weekend's practice game v Carlton. Once I arrived the vultures had more or less finished their grilling of Jack, and Darcy.
Jack was still sore, limping from his injury he sustained on Friday. Those stitches need to clear up his nasty gash on his knee. Because of it, I didn't think we would see him train this morning. He wasn't around long, probably left half way through the boys session on the track.
Saw him get escorted to his car, as he was gonna go home and rest his leg up.

Other players absent:

Draper
- From what I know, I don't believe he is injured, maybe loading. Hopefully he gets to play on Friday. But we'll see on Wed if he trains, if he doesn't, then he probably has a niggle.

Beggy - Was around briefly but didn't do a whole heap.
No Macrae.

rehab group:
  • Kreuger -- Doing a few running sessions, then went onto the bikes.
  • Harrison -- It does appear they are getting him to learn how to run properly. Similar to Darcy and his past Hammys, hopefully they have looked into Harrisons issues and discovering that its how he is running. So they are teaching him a way to limit the pressure he puts on his legs/Hammys when he runs. Surveryed by some fitness staff.

As expected, today was a lightish session, as they start getting some touch, first session of the week.
It was mainly focused on pressure, ball skills, and some match play in the middle of the ground covered by little green sticks.

Boys were wearing their own numbers except:
Johnson was wearing #33
De Goey #40

Murley twisted his ankle in a pressure drill, probably a bit sore, but probably not too serious. They may decide to get scans as a precaution, but I reckon just needs a little ice.


The talls worked on 1-1 contests.
The group then gets split into their line groups, as they work on ball movement, midfield craft, defence drills.

During the brief match play, which was split up into three groups. They would rotate playing one another. Darcy and Frampton were always on the same team.

The ball came bouncing over the fence, and my friend kicked it back toward Johnson and a coach, it almost hit the coach. Johnson just laughed and said "Try hit him next time" Haha. Some sense of humour.

Beau spent some time in the midfield.

During the pressure drill, each team had to stop the other one from passing through by running or applying pressure. Hill may have a guarateed spot for round 1 and Bolton said "This is your drill Bobby" but he does need to work on his pressure, as he felt short today. We know how much pace he does have, which is not an issue; but pressure and tackling is something they have tried to get him to work on the last few months.

Thats it until Wed. Which should be the "Main" session/ I'm viewing this as like game day. Light, and then main session, then game day on friday.
Hopefully a couple of the boys are back.
The fact that Darcy & Frampton were on the same team seems to indicate that the latter will be our full back, as expected.

Thanks Jen lovely write up as per usual, I remember the Hawks altered Rioli,s running style when he kept doing his hammy lets hope it works for HH also that sort of pace comes in handy.

A few more questions than that. Frampton v Murphy? Hill to take Ginni's role? It'll be a miracle if there isn't an injury to another prior to Rd 1.

Think Hill initially takes Ginnis spot but long term think they will be in the same team.

With all the extra running being reported on McCreery wouldn't be surprised to see him moved up field same with Elliott both used fwd and mid rotating.

Reef has also looked good forward and there is obviously McStay to fit in.

It's good that we finally have selection dillemas again.

Have not read the article and don’t intend to. Going by the headline though, I struggle to take a person seriously that blames their own child’s woes on somebody else…pull another one

"They held him down and forced him to take drugs. He said no no no no -- but they pushed his head into the immense white pile."

Is he an adult? Then he makes his own choices.
 
A very good friend of mine works in the late night entertainment industry on the Gold Coast.

A couple of years ago he had a story I didn't want to hear about a Collingwood player who was on the marching powder while out.

It was Stevo and within a year his tale had been backed up by the ongoing transpirings.

In November he had a similar tale about another young player - not a high draft pick, nowhere near as high profile, still finding his way. Not Ginni.

There may indeed be a cocaine culture at Collingwood.

You can come at me because you don't want to hear what I have to say, but I am a passionate Pies man who is simply worried about the pattern I see forming based on stories I hear from a man I have trusted implicitly for over 20 years

A lot of young people do coke, many of them AFL players.

I don't see why people are so shocked over this fact.
 
An Omen.
I didn't know where to post it so I decided to post here instead.

Just landed on my fence. Little oriental Magpie.

Screenshot_20230221_104939_Gallery.jpg
The Oriental magpie-robin (Copsychus saularis) is a small passerine bird that was formerly classed as a member of the thrush family Turdidae, but now considered an Old World flycatcher. They are distinctive black and white birds with a long tail that is held upright as they forage on the ground or perch conspicuously.
 
So looks like they have gone into "In-season" mode.

With a session yesterday.
Day off today
Main session tomorrow (2 days before game on friday)
WHich means light/captains run on thurday (although wouldn't be surprised if this turns out to be photo day this week)

He's not a very accurate kick or great at marking. He's excellent at finding the ball. Interesting what his role will be as I expect Mitchell to play most of the minutes there.
At least we now have options in most positions.
He’s actually quite an effective small forward, and a good set shot, but he’ll spend the bulk of his time in the middle or we’ll be having the same issues as last year being undermanned with coalface mids.
