Attending training this morning with approx. 12 supporters – a non advertised training session.

Missing from training were: Eagleton, Skipper.

Players restricted to physio, boxing, & bikes were: Gia, Williams, Bouman, & Lynch.

A significant part of training consisted of ball handling sessions – both kicking and handballing in team contests – not unexpected for this time of year.

A practice match followed using the full length of the oval.

A few observations:

Aker: looked fit & ‘cat like’ (always ready to pouch), read the play well, had speed to burn. Outplayed Ward (how showed glimpses himself), and will have a better season this year.

Wight& McDougall: played against one another – broke even.

Hudson: we have a ruckman (we know that), but seeing a smart, athletic, big marking player who knows his trade will provide a lot confidence to the team – a good replacement for the Darcy of old.

Street: Bigger body, moving better both in drills & around the ground in match play – a second ruckman.

Minson: Played forward, not spectacular, but a good foil for Hudson, when both lined to compete in the ruck on the forward line (Street couldn’t man up both – easy down to a running player). Seemed to work a few times.

Stack: looked good in the forward pocket – stronger than our other small forwards – starting to display the ‘X’ factor we had hoped from our Indigenous player.

Welsh: great seeing him move freely. Played on the half back flank, good reader of the game, marked and kicked well (Nbr 11 in Firstgogonthemoon’s photos).

Grant: can read the game, but lacks ball handling practice (playing with a brace on his left forearm), however, kicked a very long goal from the boundary line. Will improve, looks promising.

A few after thoughts:

Hill vs O’Shea: pitted against one another; a good contest, with both players being very competitive, and worth watching their progress. A smaller agile forward Vs a taller athletic player (O’Shea could become another Morris – good body size and height – almost as tall as Everitt when standing alongside one another).

Lake & Wight: Both pulled up a little sore in the hammy area, requiring ice & physio.
Didn’t look serious.

Murphy & Hahn: Both look more advanced than when they first played last season – would have to expect better seasons ahead. Already moving very freely and demanding the ball.

Harbrow & Cooney; Both moved very well, good at ground level, prepared to take on their opponents.

Callum Ward: As mentioned earlier, out played by Aker, but remained competitive, and did a couple of nice things – could be player. Would like to see these two play on one another in a few weeks to measure Ward’s progress.

That’s about it.

Re: Photos from training 28/01/08

Possibly Mulligan - one I didn't notice on the field.

Just out of interest, for those who can remember what Bob Murphy looked like when first arrived at the dogs - nothing like a potential AFL player - just have peak at Henry White.

A very fast wingman from SA - you would never pick him as a footballer.
Hope the club can build up his body - Good luck to him.

White looks like a kid on work experience and I agree that Murphy and probably Ray had similar builds when they arrived. White is a good mover and must be viewed as a long term prospect.
