Beautiful day here at the hanger. There’s a few watching on so hopefully there should be some quality training reports.
Only Shiel and Ridley running laps in the second oval. There’s a couple of umpires here so hopefully we get to watch a match sim at some stage.
The Ridley situation puzzling. Club sources were indicating no injury, just managing soreness. Now not trained I think for two weeks. IMO, he obviously did his calf. Might be minor but I’m suspicious of the downplaying of the injury. A pity because he was training strongly to Christmas.
If he is still running then I’d say it is very much at the minor end of the scale.
I think calf was mentioned previously but it is obviously minor.
He’s come back from a major quad injury. They’re being rightfully cautious. He’s by far our most important player.
Ridley looks fit it must be just a niggle. Looks like the game is about to start. Draper has been training with the main group and looks likely to take part in the game.
Caddy, Weid, Alwyn, stringer, hind guelfi forward for the red team
Drapes v Goldstein
Black versus Reds. Black team took like the probables for round 1 to my eye.
Forward line of 2MP, Lang, Jones, Menzies, Gresh and Perkins
Baldwin and Lav in the red backline
Great way to start a Saturday morning with a new thread beginning with ‘Training …’
Can’t wait for the reports and analysis.
Caddy on red team.
Takes a grab in the lead. 35 out. Misses.
Yeah and perhaps Stringer or Caddy etc as part of rotations in best 22/23
Agree. I’m wondering if all the blitzers present are known to each other or are spread around with phones in their hands
Full ground transition for the black team results in 2MP mark and goal.
Cox in Stringer.
Stringer giving him a bath at this stage.
Cox have been in worse spaces
Probably in the top 6.
Tsatis playing wing for the black team. Doing well.
2MP on Baldwin. 2MP dominating at this stage.
Marto starts the chain at half back and now kicks the goal.
Doesn’t matter where he plays he’s involved.
2MP 5th mark.
Gotta love facts and data.
Couldn’t think of a worse match-up!
Fat and skinny went to war…
