Training Training Reports and Updates

[MoreMoore]

I like the idea he could swap with Elliot/DeGoey/Adams for a burst in the midfield. His pace and power would be great to see.

Would make a pretty good tagger

WHE is the perfect sub

Maybe yeah. But if he only gets 12 -13 touches a game then I can’t see him getting many in the last quarter alone

 

[Hardas]

Does this drugs talk really need to bleed over into other threads? Keep it in the Ginnivan thread, please.

You mean the Stevo thread?

 

[Hardas]

Maybe yeah. But if he only gets 12 -13 touches a game then I can’t see him getting many in the last quarter alone

Don't disagree, but being able to play a bunch of roles goes in his favour for being sub.

 

[jonbe54]

The fact that we are discussing alternative roles for our aging stalwarts is good.

We not only have depth but we have replacements.

Just in time too.

 

[Finnishpie]

WHE is the perfect sub

Reckon he'll lock down a half-back role.

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.

Ginnivan's jumper is too short for Ginnivan. It must have been like a crop top on Johnson.

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

God the stories I can tell you about players from other clubs with my contacts but yeah it’s really irrelevant these days

Murphy McStay and especially Cox looking good.

I think I've been sucked in about 7 preseasons running, but Cox looked like a weapon.

He keeps improving every season.

Except for the ones he went backwards... Admittedly post eye injury

He never got much ruck time with Grundy in the side and even Cameron got more. In my opinion Cox is a better tap ruck than both of them.
Easier to do when you're almost 7ft tall.
