Prior Notice_ Open Training Session

[Ross who?]

Rhys Stanley is training very well and he is keeping up with the leaders in the very gruelling running stuff.

I may be wrong but I recall someone reporting from the last training session suggested Rhys was having problems and really not going too well.

So this is great news.

What it says to me is some people have preconceived ideas whether good or bad. i doubt his training has improved that much in a week.

Rhys wasn't training with main group last week. Just did stationery drills and jogged a few laps. By the sound of it he was with the main group today. I know he was doing lots of fitness work over the players holidays and is geared up for a big 2012 after basically writing off this year.

He has been struggling in 2 sessions ive seen. I didnt see him do much running today at all, but wasnt exactly keeping eye on him the whole time. When i did see him i didnt think he looked great. Has bulked up a fair bit though, still looks like a stick though

I went along again but dont have heaps to report.

Ray, Joey, Peake, Steven all trained with a really good intensity. Farrwn seemed really really focussed but that just could be Farren...

Lenny is just a class above imo, great seeing him up and about.

Saad is explosive on the lead and goid overhead, still a lit of development left in his skills away from his right boot imo.

I reckon Dowler is good enough, definitely doesnt look out of place (apart from his height and pasty complexion).

While Magner is smashing it fitness wise, I dont think his skills by foot are up to afl standard and would be suprised if he was rookied to be honest.

Kosi, Peakey and Schneids all real characters around the place, as well as Milney obviously.

Thanks for reports.

Just on Rhys - I saw him 2 weeks ago. He was just running laps all session. Yesterday he was in the full training group and trained hard. At the end of training the squad had to do a very gruelling running session around the outside of the oval. He was in the lead group running at strong pace all the way through. Many players dropped off the pace as it began to take its toll on the tired bodies - but Rhys just powered on. stayed with the leading group all the way. That indicates to me that he has made a committment to give it everything in 2012. Very promising. He has good upper body shape now as well so has been in the gym by the looks of it.
