Training Session Updates

Re: Training - 20/12

I had another look today but it was mainly team running by squaring off the Blue, White, Red and iridescent yellow teams in several different contests.

Cross dominated the first running drill which was to see how many laps could be run in a set time. Callan ran very well and Williams ran a terrific last lap where he made up significant ground on Cross and passed many others.

There was running drills up and down the EJ Whitten stand steps, 100 metre sprints and even 100 metre sprints carrying a 20kg weight mainly performed in pairs.

There was a variety of other cross training activities as well.

In the sessions I have seen I have been really impressed by Tom's speed & stamina. If (big if) he stays fit I think we can expect big things from Tom next season.

We always knew he had a reputation for stamina but his leg speed is impressive given his size.

Re: Training Session Updates

Thanks for the reports guys, they are oustanding. It's great to know the team has such supporters with excellent knowledge and perception. I'm an oldER dog, born in '54, now in Frankston and unlikely to make it to pre-season training, but am straining at the bit at the prospect of us improving on 08 with improvements out of Griffen, Williams, Higgins, Johnno, Hill and Addison.
I'll be happy if the only reports I get are off this forum, because it'll mean no injuries.

Strange that they are not training on Saturday or Monday.

They have trained really solidly & will appreciate a break. The running component starts to lighten from next week & more emphasis on ball work.
