Re: Training Resumes Mon 4 Jan

Popped into training first thing yesterday morning expecting to see the players grinding it out in the summer heat only to be told it was closed session this morning The only thing that made everything ok was that it was Chris Grant explaining this to me, the great man could tell me I'm about to die and I would smile and nod back such is my admiration of him!

He said he's working with a few of the younger taller players and his presence can only be a positive around the club. He's still looking in great nick may I add and the trip was worthwhile just for the brief conversation with Granty.

I asked this question a bit earlier in the thread, and Griffen is travelling very well apparently.

Re: Training Resumes Mon 4 Jan

As I alluded to in another thread my parents were able to catch a bit of the match practice that took place at yesterday's training, here are a few observations:

* Hall was picked up by Boumann. Dad was impressed by Boumann's closing speed which was in evidence. Hall seemed very comforatble patrolling the I50 region. Already there seems an understanding between Aker & Hall in that a couple of times Aker gave his 'no look' kicks and Hall had moved to the spot where Aker thought he would be.

* The aboriginal boys all looked good. Thorne did a few good things and Dad was impressed with Stack, said he looked very comfortable out there.

* A curly haird wingman (Daniels??) moved very well & did some nice things.

* As per my other brief report Murf looked in good touch.

* Roughead did well in his ruck duels with the 'Bearded one'.

The skills were a little poor, especially by foot, but it was thought there may have been a few more players on the ground than normal which meant it was a little crowded.

After the match practice the players were involved in some full ground drills and it was observed that the foot skills really picked up.

Thanks for the report Mantis, the only thing I hate about WOOF in the off season is that it only makes you pine more for the on season.

Go Doggies.

Just spoke with Murph at the EMW Day & he said that he's feeling the best he has in years with his knee. He had a cyst removed & said he feels like his old self!

You are there now? Posting from Safari and the Iphone? Need an app that makes it easier to do so.

Good effort btw to go from Werribee.

You are the man on the spot TCD! Hopefully someone can post some pics too>

Is anyone sick of hearing opposition supporters banging on that our forward line is going to be our biggest weakness due to it being old?? Correct me if I'm wrong but we've been the highest scoring team over the past few seasons so don't think that will drop off dramatically.

Thanks for the updates guys, fantastic stuff.

I must say, I'm getting more and more excited about Stack this coming season.
