Training report - 2019-01-23 Wednesday

Modern training is about a whole range of things.
Maybe if we stopped calling it the “modified group” you’d be less pessimistic.
Call it the “Minimal Contact Group” instead.

Some blokes are rotated out of match sim or drills just to get more miles in their legs.
Others collected a minor knock / corkie or ankle (like Hurls when his leg fell off on Monday) - they’d be absolutely fine to play a game, but there’s no point aggravating it at this time of year.
The last reason I’d posit would be rotational - mixing up the players involved in drills keeps things fresh, allows flexibility to be taught, and is a step up from yesteryear when blokes would train against the same teammates all the time, giving a false impression of where they were at.

That’s an improvement on The Dungeon.

That’s a good call. The Gumby-Winderlich-Laycock era has given the second group very negative connotations.

The outside stuff is what we see. As Reboot said previously, there’s all the indoors stuff we don’t see.

As you can see from the scoreboard St Kilda has always known where it’s priorities are.

Is it “cage!” and somebody leads to the cage, player kicks to the cage and then all other players in the area converge on the cage to keep the ball ‘caged in’ if the ball goes to ground.

Nah

Is the depth deceptive because of the grass?
