Training report - Thursday 14 January 2021

Fatigue can also play a big part in these things

The group was flogged on Tues, not like Cox was holding back- won the 2k time trial etc

These are just kids being introduced to a level of training far above what they used to

If he still carrying heavy legs in combo with a bit of tricky wind at play that needed low punched set shots could be related to that also

mostly pretty positive stuff form the training report.

injury to Wanganeen is a bit dissapointing, hopefully he has a full under 19’s this year
Moore and Misiti performances is a nice tease, will be interested to see how they go in the junior comps this year, and whether they make a VIC country or Vic Metro team.

The younger Hird looks small…has he played any footy? or is he potentially another category B Selection pick? Hopefully AFL increase lists end of 2021 so can take a few more punts on these kids.

Im not going to worry about Coxs kicking at this stage.
out of first year players sounds like Reid had a great session…they all seem to be taking turns having a good session - Perkins early on, Cox time trial, Reid yesterday.
Encouraging to hear that Jones looks likely for a early debut as well.
will be good watching his progression with Eyre hopefully they can push each other,

Yze is known for having lots (I can’t recall the exact number, >5) different kicking styles depending on the need. He is coaching now at Hawks. :frowning:

Langers you say?

Be there in 5

Wasn’t there talk we were signing Yze?

Who is Moore?

NLM Jr

Yeah apparently he had agreed to terms then backed out when all the “Rutten/Woosha/Player unrest and players leaving” stuff was in full view at the back end of the year.
At least that’s what a few posters here said.

Yze is being positioned to take over as coach at Melbourne. Goodwin is gone when contract is up. Past players are agitating for change.

A lot of posters worried about Cox’s goalkicking - but do keep in mind he won’t be playing forward.

Pls. That’s a communications specialist level of statement.

It was Channel Ten. It’s even in the file name.

so you’re saying if he’s having shots at goal from 150 metres away it will be even worse?

Welcome Josh. What makes you think he won’t play forward?

Thanks!

He himself has spoken about settling in defense, playing his best footy down there (about 3:20 into this vid).

That’s where he’s played most of his career, but definitely heard him described as a swingman.

He will definitely be tried there.

Better him as the forward marking target than Tippa!
