Cool, breezy conditions for training this morning but I high level of enthusiasm by the boys. Only player missing from training was Laverde. Francis did light jogging work without a calf support. Training definitely emphasised using pace and directional changes of players with multiple lead options to be offered at all times. It also trialled different scenarios to break through flooded forwardline movement.
It will be interesting to see who gets the 4 bench spots as Collingwood has gone with a tall forward line that may stretch us.
Here’s some pics from today…
The boys line up for a new exercise that has nothing to do with downhill skiing nor the Stawell Easter Gift!
The Crowls and Yestin enjoyed the complexity of the exercise.
Mark Jamar seemed to have difficulty guiding his Titanic body through the poles.
Aaron Francis goes for a light jog whilst his teammates get a 10 minute rev up in the Hangar for Monday’s game.
Tippa/Walla has altered his body shape and is now moving into sports gear modelling!
No matter whether he’s in the ones or the VFL, Kommsy keeps the energy level of training high.
Walla shows he can not only model gear, but he can take a mark at pace and deliver to a target.
‘Bluey’ McKenna gets double-teamed by “the brothers”, much to the amusement of Leueny!
Zaka continues to set the example at training. Time for another match winning game Zaka.
