Zeph Skinner 2012

[white city]

Saw Skinner and Djerrkurrah running laps at the Whitten Oval this morning. Both seemed a bit rusty however they both ran many laps. DJ was far more advanced than Skinner who dropped off the pace after a while and began to really struggle, almost stumbling at times then would find a little extra. Despite the numerous laps he did run (remembering Pre season does not actually com
mence until next Monday), he needs to build up his fitness levels enormously if he is to do reasonably well next season. He looked a little stronger in the body. If he can get really fit, he just may surprise us as he does have a lot of raw talent. Also saw I think it was Howard and Moles doing run throughs on the Hawkins wing - both looked good, and Libba also came out and did a few run throughs by himself. He looks a bit stronger as well (I know it has been only a couple of months but it seems to my layman's eyes, he has been working hard through his break.)

^Think with Macca coming into the kennel
he wants us to be tougher, so i wouldn't expect anyone not to have put on some muscle.

DJ and Skinner will need to work very hard to develop a strong fitness base if they want to feature in the senior team in 2012. Hopefully Skinner can build a good tank and come into the season feeling strong and really raring to go.
