Did anyone get to training?

Re: FINALS 2015 - Open Training

I went.

Pretty light session as expected. Some running drills for the first 20 mins, then broke off into 2 groups and did an evasive kicking drill, sidestepping someone on the mark and hitting a target 30-40m away. Skills were good.

Libba was grinding out laps the whole time and looks shredded. His torso/arms are ripped & looks in top nick.

T Boyd, Hamling, Fletcher, Macrae, Talia, Jong & Crammers had a light session. No real kicking or running, just hand balling. No sign of Redpath. Roughy in a moon boot again.

Stringer left the track early but I don't think there is any issue.

Darcy MacPherson was there getting amongst it. Fair chance he'll be on our list next year.

Tom Campbell finished the session doing some tap work in the middle. Not sure if that means anything.

Bonti was the last to leave the adoring throng of fans lined up for pictures & autographs. Kids love him.

So do 'big' kids.

I went too and comrade nailed it.

Only thing I'll add, or emphasize, is that Libba looks in great condition. It was pleasing to see him jogging around looking in pretty good spirits.

Caleb Daniel also has such good skills on both sides of his body and is so good in close. All the players seemed quite generous with their time, Bonti/Dahl/Murph clearly most popular.

Funny you should say that. I was actually wondering if he could kick on his left foot at all, as he only ever uses the outside of his right boot in matches when forced onto his left side.

Yeah he has done that a few times and certainly always likes to get back onto his right, but he's definitely quite competent on his left, even if it was basic 30m passing

Re: FINALS 2015 - Open Training

It's suprising how good he is on his left foot but how reluctant he is to use it in matches.

Great turnout by the supporters on Tuesday.

I didn't see Jong, I assume he was training inside?
