Half arsed training report
I went down for about half an hour this morning. I’m not good at understanding or describing the drills so mainly a list of who I saw and didn’t see.
Running laps
Pierce
Marshall
Clavarino
Savage
Not in main group
Geary
Webster
Hannebery did some work on his own, goal kicking, running and kicking
Alabakis had some kicking and marking practice.
In the main group
King!
Rowe wearing Number 2
Not sighted by me
Brown
Joyce
Sidestep and tackling training with Billy Slater
Billings
Gresham
Bruce
McKenzie
Richo was quite vocal and very nuts and bolts for the bit I could hear.
Anyone else was in the main group or I didn’t notice them missing.
I’m a little concerned that Billy was the only ruckman training with the main group.

Marshall's workload reduced, they are trying to get him through/manage, as I have stated before, he will need help, body getting crashed and bashed already. Not surprising!!!!! Ruckman's bodies get smashed at AFL level, Marshall need's a chop out!!!!!
Thanks for the report!!!!!

Re: Half arsed training report
Thanks for the report.
I would be hapy to see 2 ruckmen play.
Bruce needs to stay at FF, and Marshall can stretch defences with his mobile strong marking.
Maybe Kent comes out for Long and Steven replaces Sinclair, Longer comes in for Dunstan, Parker, DMac or Acres?

Would have been nice to see Dicko there taking goal kicking practice.

Good to know Hannebery is training. I thought he had gone AWOL.

Excited at King in the main group.

Re: Half arsed training report
I reckon King might get a couple of games in the seniors by year's end. If anyone gets to see him in the flesh and at training you will be hugely surprised. He makes Nick Riewoldt look small and runs better than him.
It's quite normal that players train away from the main group due to soreness, niggles, etc. so they are good for the weekend.
Hanners needs to get back playing. Hopefully he is not far off.

Re: Half arsed training report
what a relief.
I jumped to the wrong conclusion and thought the training was half-arsed

It all depends whether you go for Theory 1 or Theory 2 as to why he is not playing.

Re: Half arsed training report
Yep. He's a bigger specimen of a male and is a better athlete than Riewoldt. Make sense now?

Re: Half arsed training report
Not really. King has it all in front of him but he has a lot of ground to make up to get any where near what Nick achieved.
A very silly comment or at best, very poorly articulated.

Re: Half arsed training report
Read the post properly. I never talked about his footy ability. I'm simply stating fact that Max King is a bigger speciman of a human being and a better athlete than Nick Riewoldt. Time will tell if he turns out to be a better footballer but this kid could be anything.
Disrespectful? Nick even said it himself.
Thank you.

Re: Half arsed training report
Yes, 2 ruckmen - as I have been saying for years. No more Bruce or Acres rucking thanks!fugazi wrote: ↑Wed 10 Apr 2019 1:20pm Thanks for the report.

Bruce needs to stay at FF, and Marshall can stretch defences with his mobile strong marking.
Maybe Kent comes out for Long and Steven replaces Sinclair, Longer comes in for Dunstan, Parker, DMac or Acres?
We must play three tall forwards in the forward line at all times. Just because Paddy isn't playing doesn't mean we should go short. Marshall, Bruce and Battle. Longer can 'rest' in the forward line when Marshall is giving him a chop out in the ruck. Billy can split packs in the forward line and clear space for our crumbing small forwards. Worth a try.
Kent/McKenzie/Dunstan out maybe - Long back in definitely.
Acres needs to stay in. Give Parker another week.
Your friendly neighbourhood samurai.

At least it wasn't half a badger's arse!
