Perhaps they were practicing the collection of the ball after it hits the ground.
If you can’t do the task right the first time, you might as well learn how to clean up properly afterwards.
Interesting. I’m pretty sure at least one of Townsend or Snelling will get a run for their ability to pressure. It seems like every training report I swap who I think will get the nod.
Wind resistance was holding Heppell back, he’s fast now.

Was at training and was great to meet some blitzers today. I left from Heathmont half asleep and decided a t shirt should be right… i then froze for 2 hours.
Most of the above points i agree with. Was a hard session to watch everything as they split into two ovals for quite a bit of the time.
Had a brief chat to Hepps. He was in really good spirits. Oddly he started chatting to me as i was watching him do some sprints. Said to a trainer next to me his body was finally right and was so f£€%# happy about it. Needs another month to build up core fitness but it was obvious his joy. Was a great moment to witness.
Walla looks fitter and very determined to me. He laid some vicious tackles.
McBride is a real athlete and prospect. His skills were like a 2nd year McKenna level. Bit to go but coming along well. Great running ability .
Francis is historically a guy that does not like training. So to see Aaron cut off plays defensively, smother a Stringer possession and then 10 seconds later run 25m to run down another player… it was great to watch. He wanted to get something out of training today and not just turn up and do the basics. That may seem odd but its a huge step to a very talented guy with now a fit body and mind(with hunger)
Merrett seemed on track to me. Was in and out of regular training and modified group. Lacked a bit of power in his legs but should be right by Feb.
Zaka was mainly just running today and is coming along. Redman the same.
Lastly it was obvious Rutten has a much different dynamic. Was loud and commanding.

Thanks CJohns.
Your very last line is where I see the most improvement.
We need somebody that demands performance and not expects it.

A simile in each of your opening two sentences. Love it.
What’s wrong with going after the best people in the business to improve you club onfield? nothing wrong with a club always looking to improve.
