Preseason Training 11/11/24 (and onwards till someone creates a new thread)

Looking forward to hearing training updates from this mornings session.

It’s not currently windy in the outer north after last nights heavy rain. Was hoping to get in myself but have to hit up the office.

With the scratch match against Footscray not too far away it will be interesting to hear how we go.

Is there a reason clubs don’t train at the times they play games other than convenience?

Summer heat in preseason, at least, I think

I think I’ll go next week some time - long way to travel need to plan a week in advance

If it were the 1980s he would have been one of the better players in the comp.

Unfortunately the game and the archetype of the modern key defender have changed and he’s going up against two guys in the air and getting exposed at ground level by guys like Allir Allir and Mac Andrew who are too quick and agile for him.

He has to get better at halving contests with physicality and improve his agility otherwise his only feasible position is ruck / forward.

The suspension really hurt him

This is the sort of thing the club needs to be better at. Every club out there knows that fans like to attend training. It isn’t that hard to get timings right for fan engagement. Pis poor management by the club, and symptomatic of a club that has very much lost its way.

So I guess some fans got given the right time then. Or did everyone turn up at 10:30?

You do at Essendon.

Can we have a wind update please? Gale Force, Mild or not at all?

Some caller on sen just said harry Jones was carted off with an injury? Anyone see that

Essendon rehab group at a fair size now. Or players not training today for some reason. Was a main session today and plenty missed it

McKay, Langford, Hobbs, Nguyen, Guelfi, Caldwell, Redman, Davey, Parish, Duursma, Cox, Ridley, Day-Wicks amd Johnson. Jones got an injury today. Looked to have a player land on his ankle

Hear Jones got injured, a guy just gave a comprehensive review of the intraclub on SEN

Some Peter bloke just rang up and gave a training update. Missed the start but said full intraclub today.

Said Jones got injured. Caddy kicked 4.4 playing on Gerryne.

No Parish, Ridley, McKay, Caldwell.

Tsatas and Saad played well.

Not sure how reliable he was. Said black team won by 50 points.
