i_luv_nick_riewoldt · Tue 27 May 2008 9:51pm

Now saints website is saying is there no open training this week?

Can anyone confirm this??

could always turn up anyway and just say you didn't see anything diff.
but you wont get far toward the actual ground.

I was hoping they would go through with it- will be interesting if there is a press conferance- Ross is obligated- apprently to speak at least once each week. not on game day.

i_luv_nick_riewoldt · Tue 27 May 2008 9:56pm

yes, i was looking forward to training.

i was skipping uni for training but if its not open then i guess ill pass.

Open Training Session:

Wednesday 28th May
Linen House Oval @ 2.00pm

The training session will take place on the basketball courts and any supporters wanting to watch can go along to Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre (MSAC) and watch from 1pm.

Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre (MSAC) is located within Melbourne's famous Albert Park precinct, situated on the edge of Albert Park Lake on Aughtie Drive. The main vehicular entry to the Centre is off Aughtie Drive (Melways ref. 2K, D7).

So does that mean the boys will train at moorabbin after teh session at the basketball courts from 2pm or is it all at the courts??

first thought correct - Blast I didn't pull the sickie after all
would think it would be at basketba,ll court and maybe Ross will reappear at Linen house oval

I went and saw tham at MSAC once- not bad- quite close to the action.

will I still have a sore throat next week

i_luv_nick_riewoldt · Wed 28 May 2008 2:15pm

haha yeah, i was going to training but its in the city and by the time class finished i wouldn't see much of the session.

Maybe next week!

They only changed the time and place late so that no one would go.

Piss Off Ross

New game plan based on basketball?

Nothing new there, that's the way the game's going.

What's next? Shot c**k?

nice one

training I assume was at MSAC today as there was some media spin from Rooey backing Westaway's 10 year plan, that eminated out of MSAC according to SEN.

great place to learn how to tackle and attack the football, on a basketball court

Explains why they keep referring to Gram's basketball background.

Also noticed in vision that John Barker was in deep discussion with Max, may explain our dysfunctional forward line...he's our full back John!!!

Max was probably telling Barker what he should be doing. At least Max would know what the oppossing attacks are up to.

It's OK I think SOS was talking to the forwards explaining how to spoil and apply pressure. It's the new tactic, we're going to confuse the opposition by switching our forward and back lines. It might just work

calling some our players mentally and physically soft and then training them on a basketball court. hmm. what a way to toughen us up.

right! how could i forget! too bad the zones they'd have to defend on a basketball court are considerably smaller than the ones they'd be defending on a football oval- i mean thats the only thing holding me back from calling ross lyon a genius
