Footy training saturday 18/12/10

[Twodogs]

I'm heading down to Whitten Oval on saturday to watch training. If anyone else is thinking of going why dont we have a WOOF catch up? We could pick a spot to meet, watch training and then have a coffee afterwards in the Pound.


So is anyone else in?

I was thinking of going, but now that I know that you will be there I might go and wash my car.

My son has cricket, but if he didn't I'd probably be doing my nails or some such!

Whitten Oval is a 2 hour drive for me nowadays.

Be a pal and take some notes for me.

Since it was raining and I couldn't wash the car I headed down to training.

Players missing - Boyd (wisdom teeth), Cooney, Williams, Ward, Jones, Roughy (did running), Hooper (left track early), Hall (did footy stuff), Schofield, Johannissen, Barlow, Lake, Hargrave

Footy stuff:

* Main drills were some ball movement drills where there was emphasis on running hard thru the lines & zoning drills.

* Skinner - did some extremely impressive things where he showed off a deft touch and some great reflexes. His zoning & tackling was very good.

* Sherman - showed what he will bring with some great running through the middle of the ground.

* Vezspremi - clean hands and did some impressive things.

* Liberatore - his very clean hands & great vision where on show in the zoning drills.

Running:

2 groups.

Group 1 - Gia, Cross, Wallis, Libba, Howard, Tutt, Wood, Djerrkura, J.Hill, Moles, Sherman, Addison, Griffen, Picken

Group 2 - Cordy, Skinner, Gilbee, Hahn, Veszpremi, Roughy, Stack, Grant, Minson, Huddo, Dahlhaus, Reid, T.Hill

(I have probably missed a couple)

Very solid running session that lasted close to an hour.

Groups started off doing 400's, then 200's, then sprints, followed by stairs, then more sprints. Group 1 did some longer stuff at the end to finish off.

I guess rather than go through everyone I can answer questions on individuals, but overall the standard was high and besides Skinner who struggled a bit with the longer stuff there were no real stragglers.

Rocket indicated on Thursday night that Skinner football smarts are no doubt AFL standard but at this stage his fitness base isn't, which is what he is working on.

Yeah Alexx, same, we met some friends for lunch at 12.00 p.m. and I didn't realise the boys had been training until we saw all of them walk out. Gee I love going to the Pound and seeing the boys.......

How did the senior boys look in the running session? Everyone wants to talk about the new blood, I'd like to hear how our leaders looked.

I'm also interested to see how Josh Hill did in the same session.

Gia & Cross were continually at the front of the 'main' group, they set the pace for the rest to keep. Murphy was also prominent.

Gilbee was pretty much always in front of the 2nd group.

I'm also interested to see how Josh Hill did in the same session.

In the first few runs he was towards the back of the main group, but he was up the front half for the rest and did well in the stair runs.

I did hear that his training over the past few weeks has been very good.
