Training Wednesday 25th January 2023

Why is it that when ever Kelly gets the ball, his first reaction is to take steps back and wait for someone to come and mark him.

Menzie had 3 or 4. He’s our Robbie Fowler, knows how to get on the end of a play. Made one of his own too, through forward pressure. Snell didn’t get much of it, so you’d reckon he’s in danger of losing his spot to Jye.

McGrath was fantastic off halfback, a real jackinthebox, players couldn’t read which way he was going.

Kelly seems to receive the ball or make space out to his non preferred side more often then not, therefore he props and stops, goes over the mark.

Three umps I think. Didn’t notice them, which is high praise.

A bunch of them, maybe 4 or 5. The kid Eyre, younger brother of Josh got a free when Kelly threw him to the turf but missed the set shot. He looks about 17.

There was a guy wearing number 40 with a sun visor on. Didn’t look too bad but didn’t get much of it. Most of the unknowns didn’t do much.

The one exception was Montgomerie , although he might be listed? Not sure. Anyway, he did some very nice things and I reckon we’ve found a player there.

Another tall injured.
Bryan with a concussion.

My live call: “Then a perfect play out of the centre bounce sees Archie break forward and nail Stringer, who goals from 20. Blacks doing all the scoring”.

Maybe I’ll never reach DJR heights but I’m happy with that one!

No big deal and not worth mentioning- plenty of options for the midfield.

Ok cool

If round 1 were next week then he’s not in the team. But with nearly two months to go, and watching him grow in confidence today, I’m backing him in for March 19th.

It’s usually a board with a half-ball underneath.

A bosu ball I guess.

No way they would be using them in benchmarking, or likely anything strength related.
