Training Summary & Pics 11 May

Training at TVSC in overcast and chilly conditions this morning. Most of the drills took place on the Etihad sized oval with players in good spirits.
The only obvious absentee was Simpkin. Others to undertake modified or light training were Stokes, Laverde, McKernan and Dempsey. The good news was that Francis completed a full session with the main group and looks ready to return to the VFL side this weekend.
Expect between 2 and 3 changes for this week.

Now for some pics…

TIPPA continues his unrepresentative rate of appearances (I make it 3 of 41 this time).

Not complaining o:)

Nice work kb. Thanks

Great shots Karma. Starting to see the outline of muscle in the Francis lamp posts. Plenty of muscle was there, but had been hiding.

Looks like these guys have never seen a football at training before. I guess that would explain our ball handling skills.

OH THOSE ARMS <3

Oh nearly forgot, thanks for the pics and report Karma :slight_smile:

My man!

Great news on Francis. Seeing him play seniors is probably the biggest thing I’m looking forward to for the rest of the year now that we’ve seen Parish, Tippa and Hartley tear I up.

That’s Jetta!

(is that racist?)

They are practising the AFL favourites handball technique (i.e. throw).

Thanks Karma- top stuff again!

People I would not want to be tackled by #1:

Maybe we could just ask DJR for permission to revert to Kyle Langford? :confused:

No.

But I might forgive dropping the “a” for Jake, given Kyle ain’t ever playing VFL again.
