Open Training Session
Just got back from the open training session (of course we didn't get offered one at the G).
Very low key as you would expect from a seasoned GF team.
It was more of a warm down session than a training session.
No kicking at all.
Just jogged some laps and then a few sprints (at running speed) and then lots of ball drills.
Dal and Grammy looked OK.
Bakes was getting plenty of support.
Got a high 5 from Kosi as he jogged past (probably lucky he didn't poke me in the eye).

The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.
They can even WATCH LIVE FOOTY!

Good to see that Kosi's high 5s are starting to hit their mark at the business stage of the season

Whilst these session are a great tradition and good for the fans.
I think it is best for the players to get it done and over with early in the week (as in Monday morning), so now they can get on and focus on what needs to be done without the constant (well meaning) backslapping from all us fans.

I presume that'll be the last open session?? I'm sort of hoping so.
I wasn't able to make it, and to be honest I was happy to just stay clear. I attended last years one, but feel a few changes are good![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

When they created LENNY HAYES (in the shadow of Harvs) they forgot to break the mold (again)- hence the Supremely Incredible Jack Steven!!

Misso, do you even bother to look at what's happening or do you just go there and see what you want to see?saint-stu wrote:Dal is a bit of a worry. He did a lap, but then I didn't see him for the rest of the session.

Well, he did say 'OK' and not 'Brilliant' or 'Shot duck-esque'.Beej wrote:Enrico_Misso wrote:Dal and Grammy looked OK.Misso, do you even bother to look at what's happening or do you just go there and see what you want to see?saint-stu wrote:Dal is a bit of a worry.

22 'OK' players on a Monday after a big match like Saturday night is a good thing!
They walk amongst us...

It was just a few run throughs and stretches.
The group that did not do any running or kicking contained Michael Gardiner (nothing new), Nick Dal Santo AND Clinton Jones (who was hampered by an upper thigh problem in the last half of the PF). Nick actually did one kick, with his right, and at that point, Mr Misson told him to go inside. Neither seemed pleased, but I reckon for different reasons.

We definitely need some luck from here on - again it seems to be against us at this critical stage, but a lot can happen in the GF, including some early injuries to Collingwood's key players (are they immune?).
Anyway good to see Dal and Gram taking part in training.
Hopefully Dal, Gram and Jones will be good to go come Saturday.
Anyway Baker is a fresh option and is built for the finals - hopefully we can use him if needed.
