Tagliabue doesn’t particularly match the “skinny” description being thrown around.

Jackie did you get confirmation that Baguley has broken his hand...heard from a reliable source he has
Plz God no! NOOOOOOJackie did you get confirmation that Baguley has broken his hand...heard from a reliable source he has
BTW, thanks for the report Jackie. Outstanding as always. The Joe talk excites me!!
Bad news if true about Bags, rather it happen now however and not a leg injury so wont affect his fitness.

I haven't heard that but I don't remember seeing him today now that you mention it.

I think Longy was there today as a possible rookie - skinny with a pencil moustache from memory.

9

Get your questions ready, ZMerrett will be joining us from around 3:30pm this afternoon #AskZach
Kommer to play 3 token, underwhelming, injury hampered games in rds 19,21,22, do a small hammy and back out again.
Thanks for the report. How did Kav go?
Training in mild, cloudy conditions on both ovals.
Colyer marks, unhesitatingly wheels and kicks to the Giles lead, mark, goal! That's a highlight I hope we see repeated many times in 2015. Colyer was outstanding today kicking a banana grubber from the boundary line and snapping a goal from a turnover fumble.
The mood today was upbeat and relaxed with the return of the Senior players although some were absent for the Irish game and among the others absent were Gleeson, O'Brien, Hocking and the Irishman. Kommer appeared right at the end of training looking very proppy and the club appears pretty tight lipped about his injury.
Myers and Carlisle ran laps deep in discussion and Tommy B also spent a lot of time running but all three looked pretty fit. Pears mainly did boxing steadily moving the trainer with the boxing pads backwards around the boundary as he slammed into his pads much to the admiration of the lady supporters sneaking covert glances at his biceps.
Talking of biceps Lloydy arrived towards the end of training with a long sticking plaster on his right forearm. Covering a tatt? (If he had a tatt what would it be.)
He took Joe aside for goal kicking practice Whitchurch was being filmed. Joe is bigger and stronger this year and I was told that he excelled in the running drills on Monday bringing a lot of the smaller players along with him as he led from the front.
The emphasis today was on quick ball movement using both full ground and half ground drills. Hardy took training on the smaller oval clad in a black track suit not deigning to wear a greens vest like his assistants. Fair enough he is the head coach. The battle between forwards and backs was intense with lots of talk and advice E.g. When the ball was coming into the forward line the defender was told "if your man's too dangerous step off him and cover the space" was the coach's advice and when Melsham failed to jump for a spoil a senior player pointed out his error in plain language.
Giles, Gwilt and Cooney all moved well which is encouraging. There is a problem however with rabbits disturbed by the construction at the rear of the complex moving onto greener pastures - the ovals. Ferrets may be required. This put me in mind of a player called Copping that we had in the early eighties. Tried to clear out a Warren on his farm by strapping explosives to a mixo rabbit expecting it to run back to it's burrow but it ran under his ute instead and blew it up.
Overall a good session today full of promise.
NOB was 100% training today
Thanks for the report Jackie.
I've run out of likes... mods?
