Training Training Reports and Updates

[RobJD]

I don’t see that improvement coming from Macrae

I thought he looked good on Friday - first time that I thought that he looked upto the level.

 

[Vicky Park]

Jeez, from the outside that appears to be a bad fit.

Dons need to establish a stronger culture. That team has way too much talent to be copping the floggings they copped and Thomas needs to be at a club with a strong culture to get more out of his talent and help him off-field.

Wot you mean? Dons have Stringer.

Oh wait…

Me too

First time I actually saw something in him that makes me think he’ll definitely play a big part in our future starting midfield with Nick and Reef.

Agree.
Thought he looked much more comfortable and fit at senior level than any other game he has played.

 

[sam_e]

Most were there, apart from Fin, who was absent for some reason (sore from his 2 games in 36hrs? lol)

By the looks Reef also missing which isn't surprising given he appeared lame (injured L-clavicle) after the VFL win

Yeah. Reef. Carmichael Which isn't surprising.

I thought this was a Training Reports and Updates thread. Way too much "other" posts in here. Keep it training related or take it elsewhere FFS.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Maybe he just has poor gut health

Tapeworm, perhaps?

 

[KinderSmock]

I’m curious… What would be your best 23 with Macrae in the team?

I'm conflicted with who drops but one of Lipinski, WHE or Markov (once Nick returns, he becomes more of a sub). Each offers something: Lippa has midfield/forward craft, WHE has versatility and hard running, and Markov is Markov.

McCreery, Elliott, Hill and Ginnivan in the one team doesn't seem right but each of those players offers so much.

Yeah. Reef. Carmichael Which isn't surprising.

the other one that i'v heard conflicting reports on is Murphy, did he train ok Jen?

Because each of those forwards adds varying different things is why it would work. Pressure. Pace. Marking and ginni just adds unpredictability between his goal sense. Smarts, quick hands in tight spaces and defenders don’t know how to defend him- makes it a unique forward line.

I can see it working, I can see it failing and I'd hate to be a selector. Ginnivan deserves to play, so does Elliott. Hill has his merits as does McCreery. Going to be one big week on the training track for them all.

Wonder what the reasoning behind the closed session was today? Trying to hide something? Tactics ? Injury related ?

Just 'none of anybody's business' training session

We have 2 open training sessions this week.

Apparently they didn’t want people to see them.

Some talk Hill and Murphy failed to train today

 

[Lifelong Pie]

That's interesting info from a closed training session

 

[legendstatus]

Did someone say we have a training session this Sunday?

 

[Apex36]

Oh no, they’ll be in doubt for this weekends game!

 

[jmac70]

Yeah, that’s BS

Super-duper top secret new gameplan no one has even seen the likes of before.

Purely evil genius type stuff!

 

[gouki88]

I personally don’t think he fits our list profile/needs. We have plenty of one-paced inside mids with mediocre kicking skills.

I think Fin should look to move to a club such as West Coast or Essendon, where his in-and-under extraction skills are in shorter supply.

Who are these plenty?

 

[Apples]

OK, I'll bite. How could there be a closed session at Olympic Park? Unless it was inside, there's no way to stop people watching.
