Training Friday 9/12/16

JM, just how much work is "The Green" (as opposed to ex-Lion Green) doing at the moment? Thoughts??

He is working very hard and is on a specialised programme to gain fitness. I described his specialised forward work on Wednesday.

Sorry, I was being a bit too clever-clogs. I meant Laverde…

Laverde is back in full training and is looking explosive in the forward line.

Morgan still going well?

Never been so excited. Ridley is the one, boys.

Yes.

He did spend a fair amount of time doing his own thing away from the group on the second oval

With

How has Stewart been going? He’s the real wildcard in regards to our spine sets up

With Joe, Draper, McKernan and Bellchambers not joining full training he has been very busy, especially in the forward line. Ahead of Bellchambers and McKernan at this stage for second ruck/forward line position.

Dont forget this guy.
I know about the #1 pick this year and all but remember he was close to the highest pick midfielder in last years draft.
Darcy arrived in really good shape last year, but he has taken it to another level and no doubt will get more midfield time in 2017.

Check the trapezius development. Probably necessary for a guy who will get lots of coathanger frees in front of goal over his career!

oh and fridge is absolutely monstrous.. without question the beefiest midfielder on our list, has hocking and howlett easily covered

Has Hocking covered easily ?? Faaark.

How is Craig Bird going? (Just a random name that popped into my head)

Awaiting Gerard Healy to compare Parish's arms and claim he is taking steroids again (like he did Melksham).

Parish would be loving that photo.

Do we just call him “Guns” from now on?

Going by the photos, marketing staff read blitz re training bibs. Hi EFC, hi!

Parish hardly had any time off. Sure, he did a bit of fishing and spent time at the Geelong Falcons gym over September and October.
Blame Praise Zac Merret for setting the benchmarks on how to become elite.

Where would Bird be in the pecking order

I’ll go out on a limb and say he’s probably nest-led somewhere about mid field.
He’s a game bird though so it could be better than that.

Not wanting ruffle anyone’s feathers by parroting what others have said but apparently Bird has been quite plucky and added quite a bit of chirp during the poultry amount of skills sessions so far.

Thought the Bird puns would have flown the coop by now.

Is this the 3rd, or 4th re hash?

It’s like One flew over the Cuckoos Nest meets Groundhog Day.

JFC would some pun-ctilious Mod gurge this thread . Please.

Does Bird have a nickname or do they just call him Craig?

The size of the thighs in pic 7!
That’s Begley isn’t it?

It is. Good god, they’re huge.
Jobe has a contender.
