I was gutted tbh he was looking good down back. He would have been gutted too.

Hopefully he recovers quickly

disappointing to hear they didn’t put any focus on goalkicking

Goalkicking is a solitary activity. I don’t think there’s any necessity to do it in the major weekly sessions - they’re for getting everyone in the same place and practising working together.

Goalkicking can be done more like gym work, when blokes are working solo between major training sessions.

Not can but Should be done by individuals and is what seperates the Matthew Lloyds from the Joe Danihers

[bomberboy05]

Yeah Stewart is that gorilla type defender… has more height than the others…

It’s what our team lacked on Saturday night - hawks looked so dangerous when it was kicked to the top of the square.

Spot on those two boys need some good luck ASAP

1 game in the VFL and then straight in for Ambrose, we need him badly. The guy is naturally fit so fitness shouldn’t be an issue.

Agree that a fit and firing Ambrose would be great but I really hope we don’t rush him back in - the dude’s last game of footy was 18 months ago in the final against WCE.

[All-Star_Bomber_18]

True. But he just has to shut an opponent down which lets Rids and Francis play their natural role, I’d say its worth the risk. It obviously depends on how he goes in the VFL. But either he or Zerk need to come in ASAP, whoever is in form and fit sooner.

truck said ambrose was gonna play as a forward - which makes zero sense considering he’s the best lockdown defender we have on the list by far

[choppsuey]

And a pretty garbage forward.

[Humbert_Humbert]

Great to have you back on the job Jackie!!

[SillyBilly]

Sooo who did well?

@westozziebomber

truck said ambrose was gonna play as a forward

I don’t think he said that. Didn’t he just say he’d done some training forward to keep options open? He should be playing and training back though.

[jackie_mihocek]

It was a light skills session - there were no standouts good or bad. Just another day at the office really.

[westozziebomber]

from the EFC website

“Veteran Michael Hurley has also trained mainly with the forwards, while Patrick Ambrose, who missed the entire 2020 season with a Lisfranc injury, has been earmarked for a switch to the forward line when he’s back to full fitness”

[BakerWasAStar]

Saw both Ambrose and Phillips in the car park before the game on Saturday night - couldn’t believe how lean they looked.

nice work jackie!

I’ve missed your adventures with Tiff. I thought you’d hooked up with her and forgotten about us

[Bomber_Billy]

I wonder if Rutter is removing anyone from the backline who doesn’t provide rebound or who isn’t a particularly good kick. The best part of the Stewart back move was his awesome low foot skills.

[BomberDay]

Goal kicking yips are a metal issue. Handling pressure of the situation. What they need is metal side of goal kicking under pressure. In training environment usually 90% accurate.

Reckon goal kicking should be practiced in an environment as close to in-game as possible. It seems the pressure gets them psychologically. Practice under the presence of that pressure.
