EFC Training 11 June

karmabomber · June 11, 2015, 6:17am

A few observations from this mornings session:

Hirdy was more vocally aggressive with the players - during stoppages work he repeatedly called out “I want to hear the contact!”

Stants was missing - maybe baby duties? Myers was not on the track. Hocking and Fletcher on modified training.

Zacha will not play as his ankle did not get through the session. (see photos)

Belly will be dropped. (I think!) (see photos)

Again, what we will bring to the table against Eagles is anyone’s guess. Hoping for a competitive performance. Look for a couple of interesting positional strategies.

Now the photos…

“See Hirdy. I can run!”

Tayta looking fitter by the week.

Jobey Wan ready to return.

Winders shows Ashby a clean pair of heals.

“Hey Jobe, I’m still here and may just surprise you!”

…and

“…I’m still here too Jobe but there won’t be any surprises.”

Heath works up a sweat with the hope of returning via the VFL after the bye.

Lots of close checking body work with Kommer keen to take on the crumbing role.

Alex and Jackson competing for senior selection.

“Oh buggar. The ankle didn’t quite hold up. Looks like I’ll have to rest until after the bye.”

“Geez Reidy, I think I’ve located the problem. My legs seem to want to go in different directions!”

Joe D down back, Hooker forward?

…and these

“Oh, the pain of it!”

Lachy tries a flying tackle.

Zerrett and Orazio head for the contest

Smack breaks clear to head for goal watched intently by Goal Umpire Lloyd!

Orazio finds space to clear the ball.

Bags steady as ever in defence.

Great stuff karma. Appreciate your work.

How did Buckets train Karma?

karmabomber · June 11, 2015, 6:41am

…and

Hooksy takes a great grab.

“Make way please, there’s a Hooker coming through!”

“I wonder if Hirdy is watching me?”

Demps looking anything but overweight.

“To be Shaun, to be Shaun!”

This is the happy face of 400 games that won’t be going to Perth.

“Coach, you’ve got to be kidding. I don’t know how to play in the VFL!”

Did Zaka re-injure his ankle? or was it just a chat he was having with the doc?

Soulnet · June 11, 2015, 6:43am

Poor Zacka. Lovely boots though.

Good one for a caption thread

Looks like it. Or Joe D in the ruck

Great stuff. Thank you Karma Bomber

Riolio · June 11, 2015, 7:20am

“But I still get paid, right?”

Kira · June 11, 2015, 7:24am

Thanks for the training report and the photos!

What’s the likelihood of models turning up to the VFL, Hirdy?

karmabomber · June 11, 2015, 7:35am

How did Buckets train Karma?

I’d give him a pass mark. Kicking for goal was very average. Maybe a different role this weekend.

It is the inside of the ankle and it just wasn’t right when he started twisting and turning during stoppage exercises.

If you cant kick them at training then…
