EFC Training and Pics 13 April 2016

Training in mild and pleasant conditions this morning.

Good news - just about a full list to choose from except for Alex Morgan (modified build up) and Aaron Francis (calf).

Focus was on working in small groups on handball strategies and tackling followed by practising ball movement from full back and generating spaces to run into.
Woosha appears to be looking for more evidence that the players understand their role and are able to stick with a game plan.

Energy level of players was UP - I think this might be to do with Wednesday training preceding the selection process for the following game.

Oh, and Smack trained strongly as did Laverde.

Now for some pics…

Thanks Karma Bomber.
Marty is nearly as tall as Ambo. Maybe we can put Marty in the ruck ?

Killer pics.

Thanks Karma. How did Dempsey train and is he training with the backs or forwards?

Demps trained like someone desperate to get selected in the ones. The talk around the Club is that maybe he’ll need at least one game in the VFL before being considered.

Thanks. Was looking everyday wondering when we wold get a training report. Good to read, great pics.

Great news regarding the injury front. It’s been a long time since we’ve had such a small injury number.

Tippa is in absolutely ripping nick. Stunning.

Wish our jumpers looked like that.

10/10 pics again.

Also which servo did Harvs get those sunglasses from?

Great news on Smack…thanks Karma.

Got one word for you Harves

Oakley

Thanks for the training review and great pics (as always :slight_smile: ) Karma.

Excellent report and pics. Thanks, Kb.

I noticed Zaka at the head of the bunch in the pic of them doing laps. He’s really becoming a leader by example. Fingers crossed he stays injury free.

And maybe Dempsey has properly matured. He’s shown every sign of it. Doesn’t he have another week to serve?

Geez Francis looks like Whitnall. Reckon he’s going to have troubles keeping the weight down

Great photos … You always deliver!
And what about Tippa’s hands?
They look like they are straight out of Game of Thrones.
Deadly!!!
