With only a few days left of my holidays I headed down to Punt Road Oval to catch some training :thumbsup
I was only there about 50 minutes because I didn't feel like getting booked >:(
The players were in groups doing different drills. After a period of time they would rotate to the next drill.
Dave Wheadon was taking goal kicking practice, Brian Royal was doing a lot of contested marking drills, David King was taking drill that involved players running, stopping, then side stepping an opponent and then kicking to a target, one of the fitness guys was taking a drill that worked on quick reflex marking and handballing.
Tezza was sitting in the in sun taking notes, still recovering from a bad dose of the flu poor bloke.
Interesting points:
David Rodan is moving very well - very free in his turning and baulking, Showing no signs of any knee discomfort
A couple of our younger blokes will probably need another pre-season in the gym. Muscle definition has improved but they still look lean and small across the shoulders (esp. Meyer).
Andy Raines - seemed bigger in the arms and in the thighs :thumbsup
Pattison seemed taller but certainly hasn't filled out as much as I hoping for. Good news for him was he is still really mobile and sharp below the knees.
Simmonds - is still a big unit but doesn't appear as big as last year - seemed to be moving alot better, looking more agile especially below the knees
That's it for now as I am heading out again
I'll post some pics later this afternoon

Tiger training cont............
Didn't see:
Brown, Deledio or Chaffey - I believe they were inside doing gym stuff.
Things I've since remembered ;D
Richard Tambling is back from Darwin :thumbsup
Young Dean Limbach seems alot stronger in the upper body but like others will need another season in the gym
Greg Stafford was doing a lot of contested marking stuff with Adam Pattison
I thought Ray Hall looked a lot bigger - all that boxing must be paying off :bow :thumbsup
Richo? well he just looks like Richo :cheers He did a lot of goal kicking practice and didn't miss too many ;D
Dave Rodan was very very vocal on the track as was Gas and Chubba Kellaway.

Here's an OER exclusive - I hear the dude with nothing on but the AFG sign could be new recruit. Tall and very solid :thumbsup

Actually the new recruit is so top secret that Dave Rodan was trying to hide him from my camera ;D

Whoa that doesn't look like Rodan, not to sound racist or anything, but he looks "lighter" in that last pic then i remember him to be! :-\
Was Schulzy bludging? :rollin

Was Schulzy bludging? :rollin
;D Actually Schulzy was working very hard. Gotta say he looks a lot fitter at the moment than he did this time last year. Just going by the King drill - his kicking was much better too :thumbsup

Good to hear!

Thanks for the report WP :thumbsup. Great stuff although Julz will be disappointed about no close up shots of Richo and Simmo lol.
Good to hear positive news on Sarge, Rodan and Rainesy. We need to get improvement from out 2002-2003 draftees next year as our list won't be too different from this year.
Did you see Harts at training yesterday WP? There's a rumour going around he's injured a quad ???.

yes I did MT - he was in the group that was just doing the handballing and reflex drills. There were about 6-8 in that group. While I was there that group did no running so I'd reckon they are the ones on modified programs.

Cheers WP :). Let's hope he has a bit more luck injury-wise once he gets over this injury.

Yes I might have to have a chat to Santa about giving WP a big zoom lens camera. And a few more shirts off please! Muscles - I want lots of muscles!!

:rollin :lol :rollin
Don't blame me Julz about the shirts being on rather than off ;D The only bloke who was shirtless was young Andy Raines (see above) the rest of them remained clothed ;D :thumbsup
But if you can tee up a new camera with Santa I wouldn't say noooooooooooooooo :santa

Just got back from watching training this morning at Victoria Park. It was scheduled to start at 10am but I didn't get there till 11am. Finished at around 1pm although they were still out on the ground doing stretches while Paddy Bowden, Limbach and Browny were doing goalkicking practice.
Training today focussed on skills and running. All the squad was there with only Chaffey separate doing 200m runs around the boundary. When I rocked up the squad together were doing sprints in line from the goalsquare at the Yarra Falls end to the edge of the square.
The first skills drill was lining up across the wing and then in groups of 5 (3 yellow shirts, 2 red singlets) they would run and dish off handballs between themselves to the other side of the square where one of the coaches was standing. The 2 reds would stand behind the coach while the 3 yellows were on the other side. The coach would then dish of a handball and the 3 yellows had to run back and carry and handball off to a yellow teammate and then onto the third yellow without the reds stopping them. Standard was ok for January although a few handballs went astray.
The second drill was a lead and short pass session where the squad was split into four on each the four corners of the square. A player would lead to the centre circle while someone from another group short passed to them then themselves pass to a guy leading from another group and so on if that makes sense. You had this going indefinitely. Once again ok but it could of been better.
The third drill was rebounding from defence and counter attacking. The squad was split into forwards (plus markers), midfielders and defenders with the midfielders split into 2 aligning themselves with either Knobel or Simmonds. Cogs, Johnson, Tambling, Krakouer, Foley, White were the ones I remember in the midfield. Up in the forward group was Browny, Lids, Pattison, Stafford with Tuck and Thursfield as a couple of the markers. I'll have to check to thge photos when I get home to remember properly who was where.
The drill would begin in the center with a ruck tap down to a red singleted player (Newman was one of them) who would bomb the ball towards the defenders. Once a defender marked the ball the rebounding would start with a immediate kick or handball and the yellows would have to worked the ball up the field avoiding the red markers and then spot up a leading forward who would shoot on goal. In moving the ball forward we would switch the kicks from one side of the centre square edge (wing) to the other.Getting the ball to about 50m out was mostly well done but the final kick IMO could of been better. A few missed targets.
Terry then brought them in to the centre for a chat and then the test was repeated but without markers on the forwards. They just had to lead and keep presenting. It appeared as part of the plan to have 3-4 guys leading up to the 50m with someone delaying there lead to fall behind into the space. Tambling, Limbach, Browny, Stafford, Simmonds and Paddy Bowden were the forwards. This was done better the longer it went.
Alot of the 1-2 year players were then allowed to go (Casserley, Pattison, Oakley Nicholls) but the rest stayed out for the next drill.
The squad was then brought in and split into two. One group walked up to the Yarra Falls end to do running exercises while the group at the other end where I was sitting were doing leading drills. 5 small cones of different colours were placed in the shape of a 5 like on a dice about 5m apart from one another.
Orange Yellow
Blue
White Green
The trainer would then yell out a colour and the player would have sprint and change direction then after about 5-6 cones the trainer would shout out "lead" and the player would sprint out towards a pass from Kingy and another coach/trainer. There were two of these 5-star cones set-ups side by side. Richo, Browny, Moore, Gas, Kellaway, Rodan, Jackson, Schulz, Graham, Thursfield and Simmonds were doing this drill. Well done overall although Browny is colur-blind :lol and Richo was giving him heaps about it :rollin.
This was then repeated with the players in pairs with one applying physical pressure on the other. Kingy's passes could of been better lol but overall again well done.
The drill was then repeated again with one applying pressure to the other but this time the trainer would also shout out randomly "drop to the floor" and "wrestle". The wrestling varied from Kellaway and Thursty looking like they were doing more a gentle waltz to Simmonds and Graham getting more into the spirit. Overall the dodging and wweaving was well done but occasionally the leads from the two sets would both run to the centre and get in each others way. Richo copped a footy smack back into his face around his left eye and then slammed his cap down on the ground in disgust. He was holding his face for a minute but then joined in the exercise again.
That took us to about 1pm.
In terms of specific players - Tambling has bulked up quite abit from last year. Oakley-Nicholls now looks like Tambling from last year. Pettifer has beefed up in the upper body and arms. Angus Graham is tall as but very lanky. Browny will be physically capable of playing in round 1 but he's IMO still a bit away from his pre-injury self. That's not unexpected though.
I'll probably remember other things when the pics refresh my memory. I'll put them up on the forum when I get a chance over the weekend. I was sitting near the goals at the station end so excuse the distance shots and ones of players from the side and the back.
Cheers :cheers,
MT.

It's worse :lol. Last year at the intra-club game you could watch from the grandstand along the Lulie St side of the ground. Now that grandstand looks like it'll keel over at any sec. All the supporters watching today (about 100 or so) were at the train station end only.

This last pic sums up the state of Vic Park. Left to just rot by the Pies. So much for tradition they harp on about ::).
Good on the Tiges for keeping our base at Punt Rd unlike the Pies and Hawks who have abandoned their spiritial homes. Hopefully we get monies towards the $6.5 million upgrade and by 2010 we'll have one of the best club bases around.

Talk is MT that the upgrade would be complete by 2008 :o
As for the Pies - haven't you heard Eddie McHead says time and time again that their traditions mean everything to Collingwood - everything :chuck :chuck :chuck
Gee I love this :chuck smiliey

In the old U19 comp after each match, the home team would put on a spread of sandwiches, sausage rolls, party pies and alike for both teams in a room in their respective social club. Ours use to be held on the ground floor of our current Social club overlooking the oval.
Anyway Collingwood would hold theirs in that stand in the above pic. To get to the food area, you would walk down their race (the same one in the movie "The Club") and on the way you would pass a room to your right that was like a shrine with magpies engraved on the glass doors and wall to wall glass cabinets containing their premierships and other trophies with b&w photos of famous players and teams from the past above them. It's amusing to now hear Eddie harp on about protecting Collingwood's traditions :chuck when that stand, that was so much apart of their tradition, was abondoned for the almighty dollar and left to be condemned. They sold their club's soul to the highest bidder.

As work is not far from Vic Park I went to see the Tiges train again today. Team skills were the order of the day. The session finished around 5pm. I got there about 3.30pm. About 25 or so people were watching.
When I rocked up, we were in the middle of a intra-club scratch match - blacks vs whites. The only guys not in it where Chaffey who was having a kick to kick with Jarrad Grant and Browny and Tivs who were practicing one-on-one marking with a trainer kicking the ball to them. Browny was also kicking the ball back to the trainer with both feet which was a good sign.
The two sides were:
Blacks Whites
1. Newman 4. Raines
2. Gas 7. Brown
3. Deledio 8. Roach
5. Simmonds 13. Knobel
10. Stafford 14. Polo
11. J.Bowden 16. P.Bowden
12. Richo 19. Limbach
15. Pettifer 21. Tuck
17. Johnson 22. Meyer
18. Rodan 23. Jackson
20. Hall 24. Cogs
25. Schulz 29. Oakley-Nicholls
26. Pattison 32. Tivendale
27. Krakouer 33. Hartigan
30. Tambling 34. Hughes
31. Hyde 36. Thursfield
35. White 37. Casserley
40. Moore 38. McGuane
41. Foley 39. Kellaway
43. Howat 42. Humm
As was the case on Friday, the boys were implementing Wallace's run and carry gameplan very well but there were a few too many hospital or wishful passes for my liking going into attack. The game itself was pretty full on for January and the 1%ers such as tackling, shepharding, talking, etc were performed well so credit where it's due. Moore limped off at the end and spent the rest of the training session sitting on the boundary line. There didn't seem to be too much of a concern from the trainers so hopefully it was just a knock. Hughes and Casserley also finished up for the day.
Wallace then brought everyone in including Browny and Tivs for a chat before breaking up again for a drill. The drill was designed to work on rebounding from the backline into attack from a defensive throw-in. It was good to see us do this drill as we struggled to set up scoring chances from throw-ins last year. Wallace is obviously well aware of where we fell down statistically in 2005. Once again the squad was split into black and whites with the blacks the rebounding side. A trainer would act as a boundary umpire and the blacks had to win the ball then feed it out to runners on the defensive side of the pack who would run in numbers as a wave and either carry, kick or handball to the open fat side of the ground and then go into attack towards Richo, Staff and Lids. This was pretty well done by all with Hyde almost the main goto man in virtually every passage. Even Simmonds was involved as a runner and snagged a long goal. Being lighter has obviously made him more mobile. Early on in the drill the final kick inside 50 could have been better (wrong option more than poor execution today) but as the drill went along we got much better.
The squad was then broken up into four groups for goalkicking drills with 2 groups at each end of the ground and one either side of the goals on a 45 degree angle. In this drill a kick from the goalsquare would go to about 50m out where a player would mark then handball to a running teammate who would then run and shoot at the goals with the player that handballed the footy to him then becoming a chaser from behind to put on pressure. There seemed to be points on offer to add a little bit of competition to the drills between the groups. Overall the accuracy was pretty good.
The next goalkicking drill was to practice snap shots. Each group would form a circle with a player in the middle. The players on the outside would handball one after the other to the middle bloke who would shoot around his body. Once again pretty well done.
The final goalkicking drill was similar to the first except the ball from the kick-out would be tapped down to a player front and centre and he would then have to run and shoot while the tapper and the guy who kicked the ball in from the goalsquare converged on him to put on pressure. Most of the guys did this well although Knobel's first attempt seemed to be a pass off the side of the boot in my direction around from the goals lol. Polo also had one that went off the side of his right boot. Tambling fumbled a couple of times when the ball hit the ground from the tap. He spent time with the trainer after training working on picking up the ball cleanly and then running on goal. The trainer told him to slow down a touch as he went to pick up the ball. He was ok from then on.
Finally for a bit of fun, everyone was brought in to around 60m from goal for a few long pot shots on goal. It was pretty hard to see who was having a shot from the middle of the group but Knobel's kick went stright through the centre while Pettifer just missed his and he gave a loud groan lol.
The session then finished with Krakouer, Rodan, Tambling, Limbach and Browny having goalkicking practice and a couple of us behind the goals torping any footys that cleared the net back onto the ground. If you ever fancied kicking the footy at RFC training (well just after) now is the time of the year to come down.
More photos to come btw. Cheers MT :cheers

Early start for the Tigers at training today. A pretty warm day out in the sun too :P. I got there just after 10am and the session finished around 11.30am with the Hawks waiting outside for us to finish. No sign of Moore or Browny as far as I saw but everyone else was present. In terms of injuries - Kellaway, Jackson, Tivs and Chaffey were separate from the group. Polo had an icepack on his right quad/inside thigh. Hall and Foley laid on the stretcher table to do some stretching with a trainer after training but both appeared to be ok.
As was the case on Monday, the squad was in the middle of a scratch match when I rocked up. Whites vs Blacks again but this time around the whites had the "name" players. I saw the last quarter and a bit with the whites the dominant side - 5.4-34 to the Blacks 0.1-1. Lids 2, Richo 2 and Raines were the goalkickers IIRC in that time.
In terms of the two sides I might have a couple wrong as Thursty and Razor weren't wearing their usual numbers. Joel had 14 on at the end of training while Rodan looked like he was wearing 38:
Whites Blacks
1. Newman
2. Gas
3. Deledio 8. Roach
4. Raines 10. Stafford
5. Simmonds 13. Knobel
14. Polo
11. J.Bowden
12. Richo 19. Limbach
15. Pettifer
16. P.Bowden 39. Hall
17. Johnson 22. Meyer
18. Rodan
21. Tuck
24. Cogs
25. Schulz 29. Oakley-Nicholls
26. Pattison?
27. Krakouer 33. Hartigan
30. Tambling 34. Hughes
31. Hyde 40. Thursfield
37. Casserley
38. McGuane?
41. Foley? 35. White
42. Humm
43. Howat
44. Graham
The whites were very clean today across the ground. Newman, Joel (CHB on Graham) and Gas were strong down back and with Sugar on a HBF set up many attacking rebounds from the backline. Simmonds was running up and down the ground so it definitely looks like we'll be using him in a Dean Cox/Jeff White way. As for the whites midfield - Tucky especially plus Cogs, Hyde, Rodan and Tambling got plenty of it. Nice long running goal from Raines. Lids did as he pleased on the lead up forward while Richo snagged two while I was there - one in the square after receiving a handball and the other after a mark on the lead then playing on. The decision making and passing when going inside 50 was much better today.
The Blacks were attacking towards the end where the crowd was sitting so the ball didn't come down that often. When it did the Blacks were forced to attack from out wide. Oakley-Nicholls got his hands on the ball a few times though. Stafford had their only set-shot after a mark but missed.
The good thing about training today from my perspective was that there were few errors. It's also great to see the Tiges play modern footy with those without the footy running hard into space to create open options. It regularly enabled the switch of play both to the left and right and back again either way as well as straightening up the play down the middle of the corridor. Terry said afterwards it was a pretty good session.
Terry then brought the boys in and they then did some stretching exercises as one group. After that the squad was broken into three groups - one on each wing and the other in the middle. The drills today were about accuracy.
With each group on the wings - four cones were set-up at one end in the shape of a square and Tivs or a trainer would stand inside this square. The rest of the group was then split into two sides - shirts and no-shirts (settle down Julz :lol). From ball-ups and throws-ins they had to battle to win the ball then use the run and carry gameplan to get the footy by either hand or foot to Tivs so he could catch/mark the footy within the square. If they did so precisely without the other side stopping them they got a point. If they missed the square it was counted as an automatic turnover. This was pretty well done by all. The only negative to come out of it was Polo, after marking the ball, deciding to try and get past Cogs and Cogs wrapping Polo up in a perfect tackle and taking him to ground. I'm assuming that's when Polo copped his injury. He was pretty sore when leaving training.
While all this was going on, the middle group had a break from the footy and were playing a game where again the group was split into shirts and no-shirts and one player from each would stand within their square facing each other. The objective was to try and ground this yellow heavy? round ball within your opponents square. If you did your team got a point.
The three groups rotated between the two wings and the centre and after that the whole group was brought into together at the Yarra Falls end to do push-ups and that was the end. Tambling and Limbach stayed to do some goalkicking practice.
Wallace said the day wasn't finished for them and we had a couple of sessions to come in the afternoon.

Rainesy was right near the supporters doing his stretches on Wednesday. Credit to Wallace and the boys for signing autographs and having photos taken with the kids there and chatting to supporters as they come off the ground. The players are pretty stuffed too after these 2 to 2 1/2 hour training sessions.

Bugger it, i might go down and say hi myself - got hols next week :thumbsup

In that case Moi, make sure you do your duty towards the perve society and take plenty of pics. :thumbsup

Just got back from a hot and blustery Vic Park :P. One day I might get there when training starts lol but not today. I got there about 11.20pm and the boys trained to around 1pm. Moore and Chaffey were separate from the main group. I didn't notice Chubba out there.
Today was all drill work, mostly focussing on teamwork and Wallace's run, carry and share gameplan.
The drill the boys were doing when I showed up was a switch and run in on goal one. The squad was split into two and each group sent to opposite ends of the ground. The idea of this drill was a player in the goalsquare would kick the ball out to one side. The receiver would then clear the ball outside 50. The play would then change to an attacking one where this player outside 50 would then kick long across to the other side of ground to about the 50 and the receiving player would then either run in on goal himself or handball to a running teammate beside him who would shoot at goal. Within each group the players would rotate through each phase of the drill. Overall it was well done.
The next task was a end-to-end drill where the squad was split and rotated through six spots on the ground - one at each end and the remaining four on the corners of the centre square. The drill would begin at one end with a player kicking to the edge of the square. The receiving player would take the mark then dish off by handball to a teammate running past who would then pass the ball forward to the far end of the square where the mark, handball and pass forward was repeated to the group at the opposite end of the ground. The ball then headed back in the same fashion down the opposite wing. The whole drill repeated over and over with two balls going at once in a clockwise direction.

This was fairly well although IMO it could have been done better as a few passes missed the mark. It was blustery though so that would have had some affect.
The squad was then brought in together by Wallace and then split into four groups in the shape of a diamond. One group at each end and the other two on opposite wings. The ball would be moved around the ground in a anticlockwise direction with players running in threes. One of the three players would mark then dish off a handball to one of his other two teammates who would then pass to the next group. Obviously the task was designed to get the boys moving the ball forward in waves with support either side of the ball carrier and then kicking long to a running teammate. Overall fairly well done. The best about this was seeing Browny having no problems kicking long with his right foot :thumbsup.
It was then time for a competitive drill along the lines of the second drill above. The players would have to race two balls around the ground to a spot 30m out where the players there would have a shot. The ball was then passed back to this spot and the same players had to kick the ball along the ground and through for a goal. The first team to do it won while the loser joined the group in the centre of the ground doing running and sprinting work. It took a few grubbers to get it through lol. Krakouer nailed one pretty easily IIRC.
The squad was then split into groups. The first group did end-to-end running at varying their pace between walking, slow jogging, running and sprinting. They would run up and back twice before resting. The last run back would be a sprint from the centre to the goals. Roach won the first one while Tambo the second.
The second group did 10m separated cone work whereby you had to slowly jog to a white cone then the trainer would shout out either green or blue and you had to then sprint to two cones of that colour then to a white on the other side.
That was about it. The younger guys and rookies were allowed to go about half way through. Tambo and Limbach stayed behind after training again to work on their set-shot goalkicking.
No photos from today as I didn't have my camera with me. Sorry Julz and Moi lol.

I forgot to mention one other thing about Browny. During one of the drills he got bowled over accidentally as Lids flew bye going for the ball lol. He's not meant to do any contact work until Feb but Browny got straight up and back into it :thumbsup.

thanx mt, these reports are gr8ly appreciated

So tell me.
How much better is the tactical side and overall quality of training under George Hamilton as opposed to Dummy Frawley?
Everyone knows it starts at training,which is why we did nothing,actually deteriorated inder spuds guidance.
The training ive seen under George seems to be of the professional level one would expect from an afl side.

I never went to one of Spud's myself. Watching the actual games on weekends in his last few years was painful enough :-X.
IIRC when George lol took over he mentioned that we had done alot of plain endurance running under Spud but not game specific stuff such as repeating 200m and 400m runs with only short breaks in between to improve our ability as a team to repeat efforts.
As far as tactics/gameplan goes, Wallace's training methods are so far opposite to how we played under Spud it ain't funny.

MT, you got the training schedule for the next 2 weeks please?
Would like to go sometime, just not sure of times they're training.

I don't know 100% for sure as the schedule for the upcoming week is only posted on the RFC site each Monday but based on the last few weeks the weekly schedule is:
Monday 2pm
Wednesday 9am
Friday 10am
All training sessions are held at Victoria Park. There's normally plenty of parking space in the surrounding streets.
They have started later than the schedule time most times as Terry likes to chat to the boys beforehand. Each session goes for at least 2 hours if not 2 1/2.

Not sure if I can be of any help here fOx. I’ll leave the tactical side to someone else, but as far as quality of training goes, the difference seems light years apart.
The energy amongst the players and enjoyment shown by them is completely different and so much better. You almost get the feeling the players are totally confident in the coaches around them and respectful of them.
Obviously I can only comment on what I have seen and one training session I remember, under DF, was in early 2001. At the time, I thought it was one of the best training sessions (or part of) that I’d seen. The ball movement by nearly all players was the best I could remember and the energy of that session was pretty high. This will sound weird, but it was the only time I ever felt like barracking at training.
Despite all that, I left the session feeling a bit flat and with this nagging feeling. It was nothing to do with training itself, but what had been said afterwards when the players were called into the middle of the ground. Not sure how to explain what took place after that session, but all of a sudden the body language and manner of players changed from one of confidence to what seemed like bravado.
I don’t know what was said, or who said it, but the difference directly after the players were called in was like someone flicked the switch off. Part of the speech may have had to do with Krak’s first game, but as for the rest, who knows.
I remember that moment like it was yesterday and it nagged me going into our next game, which happened to be, Round 7 against Essendon.
I remember Joel Bowden, prior to that game, coming out onto the MCG, as he usually did before matches. Maybe it was just me, but as he went out onto the ground and then headed back into the change rooms, I thought there was no way he could play a competitive game of footy with that sort of body language and I just hoped one of the coaching staff would notice and snap him back into reality.
Anyway, for anyone who needs reminding, we got smashed, with the game effectively over after the first 15 minutes. It was just luck, or whatever you want to call it, that we weren’t even further behind at quarter time.
After that game, I don’t think I ever had the same confidence in the coaching staff, even though we made the finals that year.
In the latter stages of DF’s tenure, training was often flat and uninspiring. Of the sessions I saw, some of the drills were often over before they even started and there seemed to be a lack of variety, energy and imagination in the form of training, particularly in the last couple of years.
I sometimes wondered why the players worked and trained as hard as they did yet there was so little reward, in terms of wins. It wasn’t as if most of them weren’t putting in and not trying, they just couldn’t get the results, despite their efforts. And you just wished someone would give them some real direction and guidance.
One of the things I noticed with DF was that his level of intensity depended on whether we won or lost. You could tell in his manner and mood in the press/media during the week that when we won he was more relaxed and didn’t seem as focused. However, when we lost, he lifted the intensity and seemed to regain his focus. There must have been some flow on effect to the players, which you could sometimes detect in the way we started some games.
Back to now. There seems a real difference and a sense of purpose in what the players are doing and a reason for each drill and each session. Things seem consistent and there don’t appear to be signs of slackening off at any stage, win or lose.
Who knows how things will turn out from here, but at least you can have a lot more confidence to think that things are a million miles from how they used to be. Under DF, you were always waiting and hoping to see signs of improvement in the coaching staff, so that you could then see some signs of improvement in the players, which never really happened.
Another good sign now is that, in the past you felt there were various divisions or cliques within the playing group, which is an area that now seems to be gradually improving and that in itself is a big step in the right direction and shows we have some people who know and understand how to create a united environment and what it takes to build a winning team.
Most areas of concern, from past years, seem to have been addressed. Things like overall skill level will need more time to improve, but are being addressed. Another area that will take time is the confidence levels and self-belief of players.

Good one Tiger S.
Great story about the calling into the middle of the ground.
Spud probably told the boys that he was staying for 5 years.
That'd take the wind out of anyones sails :banghead
The guy was and is the WORST AFL/VFL coach in the history of the game.
WTF were they thinking when they hired him
Hes just a stupid man.
I like George and his staff :thumbsup

Back from today's training session. I got there about 3pm and it lasted until around 4.40pm. All Tigers were present with only Chaffey doing separate running and agility work around the boundary.
When I arrived the boys had been separated into small groups aligned in a large circle around the centre square and were in the middle of a fairly simple drill of marking then handballing to a runner who would then kick to someone in another group and then the process was repeated. Virtually every group had a ball so it was pretty no stop and on the whole executed well.
Terry then brought everyone in for a chat before moving onto the second drill which was confined to half the ground. We had a normal forward line set-up at the Yarra Fall ends while in the centre we had four (Y&B) on four (red singlets). Kingy would throw the ball along the ground towards the Y&Bs and they had to work together to get the ball forward past the four reds. It was done ok although now and then it broke down due to either a missed handball, someone taking on the reds isolated or the four Y&Bs staying too close to one another flat-footed instead of running out into space or running from behind to receive the handball on the switch. When the ball was cleared out of the centre the enters into the forward 50 were executed fairly well. Tucky, Sugar, Joel, Casserley and Raines caught my eye as the best in this drill.
The next drill was a full ground rebound task from deep in defence to once again work on our run and carry style. Kingy would from 50 out kick the ball to the top of the square where a Y&B would mark and immediately play on. With the reds and Y&Bs beginning in a huddle on the 50 then breaking clear into 1-on-1s, the Y&Bs had to work the ball up to the forward line. Initially the drill was a bit stilted (such as Gas holding onto the ball too long in the backline instead of getting it moved on quickly). The movement forward was also mainly kick and chip with few players breaking the lines by running past to receive a handpass. Terry and the coaching staff had a few words to those down back and in the centre. After that the drill was better performed as it went along and there was some nice movement of the footy more in line with Wallace's gameplan.
The final drill was much like the third one except the reds would win the footy out of the centre and kick long to the forward line whereby a Y&B would mark then play on. By now we seemed to be performing the drills well.
The training session was then completed with a one quarter scratch match between the yellows and blacks. Browny and Tivs didn't participate and instead worked on 1-on-1 stuff alogn the boundary.
The teams were:
Yellows Blacks
1. Newman 4. Raines
2. Gas 5. Simmonds
3. Deledio 8. Roach
10. Stafford 14. Polo
11. J.Bowden 16. P.Bowden
12. Richo 18. Rodan
13. Knobel 19. Limbach
15. Pettifer 20. Hall
17. Johnson 21. Tuck
25. Schulz 22. Meyer
26. Pattison 23. Jackson
27. Krakouer 24. Cogs
29. Oaks 34. Hughes
30. Tambling 35. White
31. Hyde 36. Thursfield
33. Hartigan 37. Casserley
39. Kellaway 38. McGuane
40. Moore 41. Foley
42. Humm 43. Howat
44. Graham
Some of the match-ups were:
Hughes-Gas, Limbach-Kellaway
Foley-Lids, Simmonds-Knobel, P.Bowden-Hartigan,
Roach-Hyde, Cogs-Howat, Casserley-Sugar, Rodan-Newman
Jackson-Pettifer, Tuck-Patto, Raines-Humm
Hall-Stafford, Thursfield-Richo, White-Tambling
Final Scores for the quarter:
Yellows 2.6-18 (Tambling 1.2, Knobel 1.1, Stafford 0.1, Rushed 0.2) - the wind was holding up the ball at the Station end the Yellows were kicking to. Tambling had one that held up after it looked like it would easily fly through the goals.
Blacks 2.0-12 (Rodan 1.0 and I didn't see properly who got the other but it might have been Rodan again running into goal at the Yarra Falls end).
Simmonds (set-shot) and Stafford (snap) also had chances to score but each kicked the ball out on the full :P.
Sugar and Tuck were their usual class.
Pettifer was very influential running up and down the ground which was great to see.
Liked Rainesy's game today too.
Tambling was just too quick and good out of a forward pocket. He could have had 3-4 goals.
Thursty didn't do too bad on Richo.
The boys then finished off warming-down with stretches while Tambo, Rodan, Krakouer and Simmonds did goalkicking practice. Lids took a ping from about 40m out on a 60 degree angle and slotted it through the middle giving himself the two fingers as it sailed through ;D.
PS. Photos to come (sorry Moi and Julz - no shirtless ones today lol).

lol, moi, danny the dud spud would have to be the person i hate most in this world
I hate him more
Oh dear ...... :help :blah
don't tell me I am going to have to referee you two lads over who hates Spud more :rollin ;D
:invasion :jump :ROTFL :ROTFL
;)

Brilliant detailed reports MT. :thumbsup
Good one Tiger S.
Great story about the calling into the middle of the ground.
Spud probably told the boys that he was staying for 5 years.
That'd take the wind out of anyones sails :banghead
The guy was and is the WORST AFL/VFL coach in the history of the game.
WTF were they thinking when they hired him
Hes just a stupid man.
I like George and his staff :thumbsup
thats a bit unfair! do u know how many stupid ppl u r insulting by puuting spud in their group! spud was worse than stupid, he was so stupid that he made every stupid person in the world seem like einstein!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
stupid ppl have hope , spud has no hope! lol
Well said, X lol :clapping
lol, moi, danny the dud spud would have to be the person i hate most in this world apart from someone from another website if u know what i mean ;)
Everybody :invasion, just relax and remember to breathe. Wasn’t meant to put people in a spin; just relating the differences I’ve seen so far. Anyway, it’s all in the past now.
Even though the signs are better now, I’m not getting carried away with anything just yet. Effectively, all that this means is that we’re at least equal with some clubs, and maybe even better placed than others, in terms of coaching experience/nous. You can probably better assess how things are progressing once things have had time to settle down, in the second and third years of a coach’s stint.

:santa

Top effort regards the training snaps one eyed, :thumbsup the boys look to be moving very nicely.

Who needs Herald Sun/Age reports when you get this great stuff - coloured piccies and all :thumbsup
If you get 'em without their tops, OMG, we're talking Walkley Awards :clapping :rollin

I'm fearing next week when Moi may try to turn OER into shirtlessRFC.com lol.

Brilliant :thumbsup
This site is the primary unofficial website of the RFC.
Even better,there are no dictators,star gazers,imbeciles,pubeless minors,anarchists (maybe one or two)
crack lickers,hypochondriacs,highway pie van bogans or self confessed wanna be board members.
Oh..........it's also ridiculously informative :clapping

RLMAOOOOOOOoooooo
Maybe MT could be one of our new forward scouts to help cover the loss of Mighty Mick. :thumbsup
-
MT, Friday's gonna be hot i'd say - do they ever call off training in that heat - or maybe they'd change to an earlier part of the day.
In which case, you could rock up and they're not there on Friday.
Do the club post if they're changing times or they just go ahead with training as scheduled?
Was thinking of going Friday with my "pervital" camera lol , but not quite sure now - might leave till next week.

Tigers Training ? On Track!
11:15:11 AM Tue 24 January, 2006
Richmond Strength & Conditioning Coach Matt Hornsby
richmondfc.com.au
With only five weeks remaining before we take on Hawthorn in the NAB Cup, it is pleasing to have a healthy group of players on the training track. With the exception of Mark Chaffey we have all players involved in our main training sessions. Mark missed the last five games of the 2005 season due to osteitis pubis and has worked extremely hard with our medical team and Warren Kofoed (Rehabilitation Coordinator) to overcome the injury. Mark has been progressing through running sessions of increasing duration and intensity and is now only two weeks off joining in training. He will have a reduced pre-season campaign that will allow him to progress to the season proper.
The other player whose rehabilitation has created a lot of interest is Nathan Brown. Like Chaff, Browny?s a highly motivated athlete who has been totally committed to his rehabilitation program. My concern was that he may lose his speed, however our testing in early January showed that there has been no decrease in his speed and power which is a great sign considering this is one of Nathan?s most important assets.
In structuring the pre-season program, the coaches placed a big emphasis on small group sessions that allow players to focus on key areas that are critical to the success of their game. The players have been exposed to the knowledge and experience of our own coaching group plus the likes of Brian Taylor, Dale Weightman, Mick McGuane, Steve Alessio and Joe Misiti. The feedback from the players has been extremely positive and this exposure will certainly assist in fast-tracking the development of our younger players.
The conditioning focus has continued to be one of developing speed endurance, power and strength. The majority of our running sessions are short, high intensity intervals with varying rest periods and also include components of agility. It was really pleasing to see that this power/speed focus related to significant improvements in the speed testing that we conducted two weeks ago. The player?s endurance ability has again been measured by a time trial at ?The Tan?. Considering our focus on multi-paced running versus continuous endurance running, it was great to see that our average time had reduced by 10 seconds compared to this time last year. One of the important factors in this improvement is the intensity and volume of our main training sessions. Our Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) tracking software has indicated that many of our training sessions are pushing players to between 13 and 16 kilometres ? certainly great preparation for the workload required on game day.
Another change to this pre-season has been the addition of a Weight Training Coach, Mark Cera. Mark worked at Tigerland in the mid 90?s and also spent four years at the Saints. He has introduced the players to a number of different exercises, many of which he experienced whilst working at the Guangdong Institute of Sport, China in 2005.
At this time of the year there are 16 AFL clubs talking up their pre-season and certainly at Richmond we?re happy with the way the players have responded to the challenges that we?ve thrown at them so far. However the real test commences March 31 when the home and away season begins.

By the way great pics one-eyed.

You've gotta go on Friday Moi, especially if its going to be hot. Just imagine all those shirts off! You can always run around with a water spray bottle cooling down the players. ;)
On a more serious note, MT & WP I just love these training reports - and not for the obvious.

Any requests Julz? Nah, i reckon i know what you want :rollin

Hi All
I have been reading and enjoying the training reports and getting my tigers fix. So I thought I should join up and thank all that take the trouble to do them. Its much appreciated.
Cheers

Back from training this morning. I got there around 10am and it went until about 11.30am or thereabouts. Chaffey, Browny and Thursfield were separate from the main group. Browny was on the massage table getting a massage on his right leg then he sat on the boundary with ice around his right ankle. No concern as he later on got up and joined in.
Training today was mainly focussed on kick-ins.
For the first drill, the squad was split into whites versus blacks for a full ground rebound from the kick-in. A huddle at CHB was formed and the players would break in different directions to receive. The side with the ball had to work their way up the field. It was all 1-on-1 stuff and It seemed that part of the drill was to mark then kick to the next lead further up the field as one or two marks were dropped but the mark was still paid. There was also no breaking the lines with teammates running past for the handball. I noticed Newman did a number of the kick-ins. Overall pretty well done by the boys.
The second drill was again a kick-in drill but this time the squad was split into two groups one at each end of the ground and the task restricted to about half the ground each. Within each of these groups the players were split into three teams - whites, blacks and reds (singlets). While two of the teams battled it out the third team rested. I can't remember the teams off the to of my head. I'll wait till I get blow up the photos tonight but from memory (I could have one or two wrong):
Blacks: Richo, Krakouer, P.Bowden, J.Bowden
Whites: Hall, Schulz (#44 I think today), Sugar
Reds: Moore, Jackson, Polo, Oakley-Nicholls
The object of this drill was one team would clear from the kick-in, once again breaking and receiving from a huddle at CHB. They then needed to kick it to an assistant coach who was standing on what would be a HFF. The group at the Station end had to kick it to "Chocco" Royal with Wallace's booming voice telling them to "kick it to Chocco".
Once Chocco got it the other team would become the attacking side and they needed to work the ball back and have a shot on goal. This drill was also designed to get the boys in sync with the new kick-in rule that once a score is signalled by the umpire you bring the ball back in straight away without needing to wait for the flags to be waved. I noticed Bowden and Sugar were doing the kick-ins IIRC.
Alot of 1-on-1 stuff and pretty full-on physically which was good to see as well as entertaining. "Paddo" Bowden got wrapped up in a ripper of a tackle by Razor from memory. Paddo also copped alot of teasing from his brother and Richo when he was shooting for goal lol. Sarge copped a knock to side of his thigh when Richo ran through him. He then sat on the boundary and hobbled off the ground at the end of training but he I think it was just a knock and he should be alright.
The teams finished fairly even at the end of the drill. The Reds got behind early on and Wallace was yelling out "the Reds are in a bit of trouble" but they fought back well by the end. Overall the drill was fairly well executed. Oakley-Nicholls did some nice things and showed off his pace.
Wallace then brought the boys in together for the next task. Browny joined the boys at this stage while the ruckmen (Simmonds, Razor, Knobel, Graham) did some tapwork jumping into a bag at the side. The rest of the squad was then split into whites and blacks.
The whites were asked to do ball-wrestling whereby they would pair up and one player had to get the ball off the other while staying on their feet. Good for a laugh. Jackson copped a ribbing from the coaches for spending "more time on the ground than the grass" lol. Meanwhile the blacks got in threes and played 2:1 keepings off. After about 5-10 minutes the whites and blacks swapped over.
That was then it. A few boys stayed on the ground at the Yarra Falls end to do push-ups and alike. Tuck, Kellaway, Rodan, Raines, Roach, Limbach, Pattison and Stafford worked on their goalkicking. Lids tried a couple shots right on the boundary line at the Station end and kicked one off the side of his boot up onto the roof of Sherrin Stand :lol.
Anyway photos to come. I think there's one that Moi may enjoy of Rainesy lol.

It was bloody hot last Friday and it still went ahead. The Wednesday and Friday sessions are in the morning so maybe that's why last Friday still went ahead. I doubt the Club would post if the times were changed as you've got to guess the Monday one anyway since the training schedule for the upcoming week isn't posted until Tuesday sometimes.

Purely a maternal-type enjoyment, of course ;)
Another great report MT :thumbsup
-
Its been a fantastic read guys/ girls
top stuff !!! :thumbsup

really nice to meet you today mightytiges :shh

Forgot to mention one other thing from training. When Richo took a mark about 20m out from goal basically directly in front, instead of taking the set shot, he played on and was tackled straight away :stupid. Wallace shook his head and yelled to Richo, "You marked 20m out so you go back and take your kick. When will you learn Richo" :nope.
ps. nice to meet you today too Axel. Welcome to OER.

Yep, there was training today.
They kicked the ball around a lot
End of report lol
Highlight: Browny putting a mongrel tackle on Bowden - Freeza would have been proud of that one.
Lowlight: Hot

LOL @ Moi
Anyway as Moi said it was bloody hot :P at the training session today. The boys didn't get out onto the track until 11am which is good because I didn't show until then lol. They finished around 12.40pm. No sign of Tambling and I didn't notice Casserley out there either. Of the rest once again Chaffey was separate from the main group but he did run with boys in the last drill although he stayed on the outskirts and mainly helped out instead of participate.
Today's drills focussed on stoppages and clearances especially in the second hour.
The first drill was about forward forays. The squad was split into four with two of the groups acting as forwards at either end of the ground and two midfield groups who would alternate goes. The drill then became full on match conditions with yellows vs blacks 1-on-1 with each other (yellows attacking towards the Station end where we were). Some really good contests and some pretty good hits with big Angus Graham copping a pseudo shirtfront from a couple of the smalls while Browny and Joel wrestled for the ball then themselves by the boundary line in front of us (Joel won the wrestle after not appreciating Browny's tackle lol). Hartigan had a good battle with Browny with Browny getting on top in the end with some nice marks on the lead out of a forward pocket. I would say in my eyes it's the first time Browny has moved as freely like his pre-injury self.
The second drill was a standard mark and pass over 30m one. The squad was split into a hexagon with the boys criss-crossing passes between the six groups. Skill level was very good today.
I hardly saw the ball touch the ground.
The third drill was designed to work on clearing from stoppages. Once again the squad was split into two groups at either end of the ground plus two midfields. One midfield would kick to the Station end while the other the Yarra Falls end. The task would move through the main three stoppages in modern footy - the centre bounce, ball-ups around the ground and throw-ins. The latter two were performed on the wing. As with the first drill the boys were set-up 1-on-1 yellows vs blacks. Overall the task was well done and very clean. Some nice peripheral vision too spotting up teammates who had run hard into space for the switch to the opposite HFF. Sugar's work in the middle stood out. I'll need to look at the photos to remember the exact match-ups and teams. IIRC Pettifer was on Thursfield as one of three pairings up forward.
The final drill was just working on clearing the ball from stoppages. The squad was split into four groups with the two groups at either end working on ball-ups close to goal (about 25m out) while the two groups on either wing worked on clearing the footy from ball-ups and throw-ins. Once again it was yellows vs blacks 1-on-1 and within each group each team had to win the ball and clear to a assistant coach nearby (about 20m away). Those groups close to goal would have one team attacking the goals while the other clearing to a asst. coach at CHB. After each passage was complete the groups would rotate to the next task. The idea was to simulate getting to the next contest and reorganizing ourselves strategically during a match. Terry would also bring them into the centre quickly for a quick chat and then have them run back and regroup.
The best pieces of play were one where Thursty (I think) got a terrific tap straight to Lids who dished out a quick handball to a teammate running past for a goal (got a round of applause from the crowd too). The other was Rodan using his arms and hips to spin out of trouble from a couple of opponents so none of them could grab hold of him and break clear for a goal. Overall the groundwork nad skills were clean. The snaps at goal initially could have been better but the boys started nailing them more often as the drill went along.
That was about it. Patto, Polo, Limbach and Tucky did some goalkicking practice after training while Cogs, Raines and Rodan did ball-reflex work in tandem off the vertical trampoline. For a couple of the OER ladies, yes many were shirtless by the end of training but a certain someone with the initial "Moi" had headed off during the last drill and missed out on promised pics for Julz lol.
Photos to come and if we're lucky possibly a movie clip too with original commentary from Moi :rollin.

That's more like it. Terry should have made those still wearing shirts to go for a run or something. Geez Andy Raines has a nice bod. Who's the guy with the white chest near Rodan? Rodan looks quite buff.
-
Who's the guy with the white chest near Rodan?
Not 100% sure but I think it's Roach.
-
In that photo you have of Schulz at the stopage (he is wearing a hat) he looks to have improved his upper body strength. He shoulders look big :thumbsup
Hopefully a sign of things to come.
-
Just off the topic a bit but looking at the numbers on the training tops (easy to read normal shape and size) you've got to wonder how they managed to stuff the match day jumper numbers so badly last season
-
True WP. The old fashioned numbers are easier to read than that thin font we used last year where a 3 looked like a 4 from a distance :help. There's no sash either :ssh but I love and prefer our traditional full sash guernsey so they could just use a deeper yellow instead rather than the bright fluro to make the white numbers stand out more clearly.

Hey, whats this i hear about Tambling doing his hammy? :P :P :P

Sorry folks no training report today as training was moved to 10am at Punt Road Oval. Might see some of you on Wednesday though :thumbsup

Great pics guys! In the third pic, Browny looks like he's had 2 broken legs. Good to see him mixing it with the rest.
-
Yeah, on SEN today Brian Royal said that Browny had been doing a little bit of competitive stuff and got a little "pressure" on the leg (a little knock or something), it was a little sore but he is o.k. (apparently)

Chocco didn't hold back either in calling the new quick kick-in rule a farce. Reckoned we'll now see plenty of coast to coast goals like in basketball.

really appreciate all this info and pics some of you are surely making it better for those of us that cant be there just wondering whats happening with Tiva not a lot of talk about him and get the impression he wont be in TW's starting 22 in past times he was a very good player but lost some confidence playing under certain coaching styles i reckon theres always room for a great long lefty in any footy side
eat em alive 06 Tiges feeling lucky

I don't know if Tivs is on a slightly modified program to the others but every now and then at training he has trained away from the main group drills such as doing 1-on-1 marking contests with Browny or runs along the boundary.
In any case, Tivs does have an uphill battle given he has no right foot. Other sides have worked him out by blocking his run onto his left so he's forced to do a u-turn or a wide arc which breaks down and slows our attack.
-
All i wanna know is:
do they know how to get the footy?
The boys seem now at ease and familiar with Wallace's run and carry gameplan.
do they know how to kick it properly?
There's still those occasional "same old Richmond" moments of passes to the feet or over the head of teammates but last Friday the skill level was very good. Best training session of the lot I've seen so far in that regard.
The real test will be whether the skills now stand up better under full-on game pressure.
are the new boys showing good signs of progress?
Don't expect a repeat of Lids' 2005 from any of them as they still need to bulk up but no complaints here so far. The next test for Oakley-Nicholls, Hughes, Casserley, White and the rookies is to show what they can do in an actual match.
-
Back from a wet Victoria Park. I got there around 10am and training ran overtime to 12.10pm. A long session today. The Tiges were still finishing up as some the Hawks began doing laps.
No sign of Oakley-Nicholls or Casserley. Tambling, Cogs, Knobel, Moore and Chaffey were separate from the main group doing laps around the boundary and 100m straight runs (not sprints). Knobel and Moore left about half way through training while Tambling, Cogs and Chaffey stayed on to do running kick-to-kicks between themselves. Razor also left early before the final drill/pseudo practice match.
The first drill I saw when I rocked up was one the boys have done before. The squad is lined up along the one wing edge of the centre square and split into groups of five. They run as a group of five handballing between themselves to the other wing then split into a 3-on-2 on the way back with the 3 keeping hold of possession via run and handball and the 2 trying to stop them. All done very cleanly without a ball hitting the ground.
The second drill was also one the boys have done a few times before. They're split into four groups and need to mark and short pass between the groups. To speed the drill up they added two footys per group. Once again overall cleanly executed.
The remaining drills were game based ones whereby the attacking side had to compete and enter inside 50 against greater numbers (2 more defenders to be precise). The squad was split into two and the two groups performed the same task at either end of the ground. Each of these groups in turn were split into a midfield and forward/backline groups with yellows vs blacks. I was mainly watching the drill at the Station end so I'll talk about them.
At our end the yellows were attacking. The drill would start on a flank about 80m out with 3 yellows against two blacks near Wallace who had the ball. Off to the left hand side were 3 blacks and to the right a yellow and black pairing. The teams were:
Yellows: Rodan, Sugar, Tuck and Kellaway
Blacks: Raines, Hyde, Newman, Meyer, Roach, Howat and Polo.
Up forward there would be three pairings: McGuane(B)-Krakouer(Y), Thursfield(B)-Richo(Y) and Schulz(B)-Stafford(Y).
Terry would start the drill by throwing the ball to a yellow midfielder and then the yellows had to get the ball forward inside 50 with the blacks flooding back and the extra blacks filling holes. The idea was for the yellows to not only lead but try to drag their direct blacks opponent out of a space so a yellow teammate could lead into it.
Richo was on fire although the passes to him were spot on particularly from Sugar.
After a dozen or so repeats the two groups went into huddles and a couple of guys changed groups. The drill was then repeated with now the blacks on the offensive.
Blacks: Howat, Roach, Hyde and Meyer.
Yellows: Tivs, Hartigan, Kellaway, Rodan, Tuck and Krakouer.
Up forward: Limbach(19)-Gas(2), Pettifer(B)-White(Y) and McGuane(B)-Joel(Y).
The drill restarted with the same 3 blacks vs 2 yellows set-up in the midfield but this time the coach would short pass to one of the blacks so the drill began from a stationary mark or he would kick high to simulate a pack situation.
Meyer had the cleanest skills of the blacks midfield. Nailed an awesome pass between defenders to Limbach on the lead.
Overall though in both groups the defenders were able to stop the attacks most of the time. Usual it was the final pass that let the attacking team down. The Pass being too "loopy" or not to the advatageous side of the leading forward enabling the ball to be punched away. Having more numbers also allowed the defenders to collect any crumbs from split contested marks.
The squad was then brought in to get ready for a full ground length pseudo practice match. The pseudo part being that centre bounce was moved around the square to simulate pack ball-ups.
Yellows: Blacks:
2. Gas 1. Newman
3. Lids 4. Raines
5. Simmonds 8. Roach
10. Stafford 14. Polo
11. Joel 15. Pettifer

When the Yellows were kicking to the Station end I don't remember a goal being kicked and the coaches weren't keeping score anyway. The final kick forward was still an issue with a number of passes being cut off by defenders at both ends. When Wallace brought the boys into a huddle and they swapped ends, the final kick inside 50 was much better executed as the game went alone.
Despite the Blacks kicking the first goal through Hughes after some good work from Limbach, the Yellows rattled on the next 5 goals in a row with Richo on the end of nearly every pass forward. Sugar nailing many of those passes. The game initially was mostly kick and mark stuff but once the boys started to run and link up with handball receives, the movement of the ball was infinitely quicker and of better quality.
Richo, Sugar, Meyer, Krakouer and Hyde were the most prominent and influential IMO.
The Yellows defenders teamed well and set up a number of rebounds.
Jackson and Gas had a good battle out of the goalsquare. Jackson had an up and down game. Mixed good things with the ordinary (such as kicking into the man of the mark after taking a good semi-contested grab on the lead).
Goals:
Yellows 5 (Richo 3, Stafford 1 .... the last one was a quick snap at the other end of the ground so I missed who it was)
Blacks 1 (Hughes)
Training ended with the yellows and blacks doing separate drills. The blacks did some ball-wrestling on the ground where the players would pair up with one player with the ball lying on the ground and the other needing to strip the guy on the ground of the ball. Meanwhile the yellows alos paired up but with the ball on the ground one player had to prevent the other from getting it while keeping their feet. After 5-10 minutes the yellows and blacks swapped. Kingy had a jokingly dig at White because he lost the ball in "record time" ;D.
Photos to come although my camera was playing up today :scream. No shirts off in the cold and wet Moi and Julz.

A Hawks fan watched the Tiges train yesterday and gave a summary on HHQ:
http://www.hawkheadquarters.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=20523&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=20 - Second post from the top.
Apart from not realising Browny doesn't train with the main group on Wednesdays and that Tambo has a slight hamstring "niggle", it's a positive report on us.
He even admits earlier in the thread that we're ahead of Hawthorn :thumbsup.
Btw, Richmond training session went for 150 minutes!!
And there practice match which was full on went for 60 minutes...IMO they are ahead of us and looked good!!
-
Got to training at 11am and caught up with Moi again :thumbsup.
There was a cameraman (possibly from the H-Sun) taking pictures on the boundary so there may be an article about the Tiges in tomorrow's paper.
The boys were just limbering up to start. Another long session with it ending around 1.15pm. No sign of Thursfield, Knobel or Casserley (all injured?). Oakley-Nicholls and Moore ran laps then left. The rest all joined in the drills including Cogs, Tambo and Chaffey. The only new injury was Newman sitting out the scratch match with an icepack on his right upper inner thing/groin. I think it was just a minor thing as he seemed to be walking fine when he left. Chaffey, Browny, Lids and Razor also sat out the scratch match.
The first drill of the day was a ball-skills one. The squad was split into a circle of 6 smalls groups at the Yarra Falls end of Vic Park. The object of the drill was for one player to roll the ball along the ground to a guy coming from another group who would gather on the run and handball to someone in the next group who in turn would roll the ball back along the ground to the same player and this player would then pass to someone on the lead from the next group along. As the drill was at the other end of the ground it was difficult to judge individual efforts but overall it was cleanly executed.
The next two drills worked on decision marking when kicking the ball into the forward 50 and marking on the lead.
The first of these was a fairly straightforward pass and mark drill. The squad was split into two located at either end of the ground and then within each of these three groups were organised with two located on HF flanks and the other in the goalsquare. The guys in the groups on the flanks would then pass to guys on the lead from the goalsquare group. While a couple of passes went over the head early on, the boys got cleaner as the drill progressed. David King reminded them to mark in the hands not on the chest.
The decision making drill began with each group at either end split into Y&Bs (attackers) and red singlets (defenders). The drill began with a 1-on-1 just inside the centre square at CHF and then a 3-on-2 in the forward line with 2 pairs and a free forward. The guy with the ball at CHF had to wait for the dummy leads from the manned forwards and spot a pass to the lead of the free forward. If this forward was too far out they would then continue on just like in a game. To make things harder they then added a couple of more pairings who would run forward from a group at the side.
Overall the passing, timing of the kicks and decision making was of high quality. Very impressive. Just wish they would do the same in actual matches. They were going at 100% for a fair while. I think they ended up with something like 27 hits out of 30 tries which is around 90%. Meyer, Lids and Browny the standouts with the preciseness of their passing.
Wallace then brought the boys in and they set-up for a scratch match between Yellows (and some reds) vs Blacks that went for a quarter.

Score
Yellows: 4.2-26 (Jackson, Roach, White, Paddy Bowden)
Blacks: 2.4-16 (Rodan, Hughes) - Staff didn't have his goalkicking boots today. Missed twice from set-shots on a 45-50 degree angle.
Best: Hyde (on fire through the midfield), Hartigan, Rodan, Meyer, Krakouer.
Full-on game too and fairly even in general play. Yellows just had the edge through Hyde and on the scoreboard.
After the scratch match, the boys broke into 4 small groups with 3 of them doing 100m and 200m runs while the last group with Richo, Patto, Graham, McGuane, Limbach, Browny, Jackson, Rodan and a couple of others did the cone drill from a couple of weeks ago. 5 small cones of different colours were placed in the shape of a 5 like on a dice about 5m apart from one another.
Red Orange
Yellow
Blue Double orange
The trainer would then yell out a colour and a pair of players would have sprint and change direction then after about 5-6 cones the trainer would shout out "lead" and they would sprint out towards a pass from Kingy with one going for the mark and the other trying to stop the other. The drill was then repeated again with one applying pressure to the other but this time with the trainer shouting out randomly "drop to the floor" and "wrestle". With the bigger boys they had 2 trying to stop 1 from reaching the cones and then marking the ball on the lead. One time they had Patto and Graham against Richo and when the trainer shouted out "wrestle" they both nailed Richo to the ground which didn't impress the big fella. Next time Richo was up he only had Graham against him and he threw/pushed Graham to the ground when the "wrestle" call came lol then said the "f" word when he just missed the mark on the lead :lol. That's our Richo. Patto also had 2 smaller guys against him (I think it was Joel and Browny) and did really well manoeuvring and barging through to each cone.
And that was that. Pattison, McGuane and Graham stayed behind to work on their leading with passes from Polo. Rodan, Limbach, Jackson and Tuck did goalkicking practice. David King showed off to Rodan by snagging one from the boundary.

Not from me i'm afraid MT - but maybe our new best friend will have something nice ;)
Was the best day i've been at a training session - sun was shining, not too hot like last week. Was easy just to go down to the boundary line not worrying about melting and perv my little eyes out.
Was good to see Rodan up and about and playing well, as well as Meyer. We just gotta make sure he doesn't get homesick, because he's all class.
Shame Julz wasn't there because Richo, Staff and Simmo looked in very nice nick :-* and they were in front of us for most of the session.
Browny's getting better and better, Hyde was everywhere.
Great report yet again, MT :thumbsup Don't know how you retain all that stuff when you have a twit sitting next to you. I promise, i won't go again lol. Back to work unfortunately next week ???

Best: Hyde (on fire through the midfield), Hartigan, Rodan, Meyer, Krakouer.
The first three mentioned there were last years early season fliers also, untill injury (Hyde - head, Hartigan - hamstring, Rodan - Knee) put a stop to them. All 3 have taken Wallaces game plan and ran with it. Good to see Hyde dominating, as fully fit with no adverse effects of the concussion, he will really be good for us. Very smart player IMO (I'll do a bit of a review on my thoughts on him later). Also good to see Meyer training strongly as he's been given strong training reviews so far. Also it's time for krak to lift.

At training all three are performing like their pre-injury selves which has been good to see. Hopefully they have a bit more luck this year on the injury front touchwood and can translate their training form into the real stuff over the whole season.

The boys were training at Punt Rd today just before midday. I popped in for a quick look on the way to work but they finished up shortly after anyway. They were all wearing white tops without numbers and doing a simple mark and kick drill between themselves at the Northern (old scoreboard) end then went inside.
From a guy I spoke to there were about 8 blokes in the recovery group but he didn't know who they were. I'm guessing they'll roughly Chaffey, Stafford, Knobel, Oakley-Nicholls, Hyde, Thursfield, Casserley and Moore. Training is scheduled at Vic Park tomorrow at 11am so I'll get a better idea then.

For the first time in history lol I got to training on time. The boys did a few stretching exercises and runs before they started at around 11.30am. Training finished at about 1.15pm.
Only Casserley and Knobel were absent. The rest of the boys were there with Oakley-Nicholls and Thursfield separate from the main group doing a few runs and close handball drills before heading off about halfway through the session. Hyde had a leg bandage on his upper right leg but completed all the drills while Cogs was in long black tights and towards the end didn't look like he was moving 100% freely. He also participated as instructor in one of the drills (training for future captain?). Joel spent time on the boundary too to write stuff on a whiteboard but he looked fine. Chaffey did all the drills for the first time and there was a ring-in (#45) who also joined in training but I didn't know who it was.
Training today focussed alot on rebounding as a team and linking up through handball receives (player after a mark playing on immediately dishing out a handball to a teammate sprinting past).
The first drill though was a standard mark and kick one. Four groups, one at each corner of the scentre square and passing to one another. Cleanly done as it should of been.
They squad then split into two, one at each end of the ground, to work on crumbing near goal. At the station (Sherrin Stand) end of the ground Cogs was instructing the boys and would kick a ball high to a 1-on-1 contest about 20-25m out from goal and one player would tap the ball down towards another 1-on-1 pairing where the attacker would need to read the ball, collect then run and snap at goal. Pretty well done with Tucky the standout. The media guys behind were chatting away about Browny while this was going on and just as one asked if the others reckoned Browny would be ready for round 1, Browny grabs the ball off the contest spins around on his left and snags a sausage roll. The reply to the question was then "Geez he's f****** good!" lol.
The next drill was a full ground rebounding/handball receiving task. Spread out in a diamond, the ball would be moved around the ground anti-clockwise in groups of three against one opponent in a red singlet. The incoming kick would go to a yellow leading in front of the red and from there he would switch play with a pass towards two free teammates with one marking then handballing to other running past. Once again despite an occasional missed target it was done fairly cleanly. I was watching Krakouer pretty closely in this drill thinking back to the Krak thread and I couldn't fault his running or deliverly. Rodan was also very active in these full ground drills. Hyde and Chaffey were moving freely.
This task was followed by one where a whole swarm of players through the midfield would spread out and call for the ball. Once the ball was marked on a lead, the marker has to dish a handball off to a teammate running past who would then pass forward. Very vocal drill which was good to hear and the boys looked on song with their passes. Saw Tambo, Browny and Sugarr pinpoint passes respectively through an eye of a needle to the teammate they were aiming for.
The final drill was goalkicking on the run. Three groups, one on each flank and at CHF. One guy would collect the ball then dish off a handball to a teammate sprinting towards goal and firing. Overall not bad but IMO our goalkicking still could be better especially when you consider the new kick in rule could mean kicing points could cost you goals against. Wheadon yelled out to all of them to make sure their planted foot is pointing directly towards the centre of the goals so they aren't kicking across or outside their body :thumbsup. Jacko was getting praise from the boys.
And that was that. A few of the boys remained behind to do some set-shot goalkicking while others like Jacko and Tambo worked on leading out from goal. I noticed Hughes was doing the Lloyd thing of chucking up a bit of grass before having his shot on goal. It went straight through the centre so I don't care if a Tiger does it lol. Lids had a couple of pings from the boundary again.Pettifer kicked one that hit the roof of the stand (which resulted in the usual expletive whenever he misses ;D) but luckily the spin of the ball bounced it back into the ground.
Photos to come.

Where do you reckon he'll play this year?

Where do you reckon he'll play this year?
Terry told the media guys before training that we still haven't found Jacko's best position. He's played half-back, wing and in the last couple of weeks up forward where he kicked 3 goals in the intra-club game.
I always thought he'd play in defence then as he matured push into a midfield role but he's doing alot of forward work now. He was practising his leading after training. I can't see him returning to half-back as we have plenty of running half-back options who have better disposal and can pick out better options. It's either wing, HFF or forward pocket.

A much shorter training session this morning compared to the norm. I go there around 11.30am (training was scheduled to start at 11am) and it was all over by 12.30am.
A few absentees today as far as I saw - No Chaffey, Knobel, Cogs, Oakley-Nicholls and Casserley. I didn't notice Hartigan or Howat out there either but that might be an oversight. Thursfield was separate from the main group.
Today's training was all focussed on moving the ball and hitting targets inside 50.
In the first drill, the squad was split into two and sent to opposite ends of the Vic Park. Each half-squad was then split into three smaller groups with one on each corner of the centre square and the third group a 4 yellows vs 4 reds matched-up in the forward line near goal.
The two groups on the HFFs would alternate turns going inside 50. The coaching staff would set-up ball-up, mark and handball situations to start the drill and the group would work together to get it to one of them running forward who then would pass to leading forward or have a shot from 40m themselves. They only had 2 of the forward-defender pairings duelling at once while the other two rested. I was happy to see the coaching staff add the running goal as an option into the drill as it's one of the areas we need to do more of in a real game situtation.
In the half-squad at the Station end where I was:
Group 1: P.Bowden, Krakouer, Pettifer
Group 2: Hughes, Browny, Meyer, Tuck
Goal Group: Richo vs Gas, Lids vs Chubba, Rodan vs Foley and Staff vs Schulz.
Gas, Chubba, Foley and Schulz played as defenders and half way through the drill Paddy, Hughes, Meyer and Pettifer swapped roles with Richo, Lids, Rodan and Staff.
Overall it was ok. A mixture of the very good with a couple of overshot passes and dropped marks. The two dropped marks were simply through lack of concentration as the player took it too easy (Lids was one culprit). Meyer took a ripper of a diving mark low on the lead a la Dunstall fashion.
The second and final drill had the squad split into two again with a large group on a HBF/wing and 4 yellow forwards vs 4 red defenders situated at the Yarra Falls end goals. The main group would rotate through 2 yellows versus 2 reds with the 2 yellows needing to team together to get one of them clear running forward and pinpointing a pass to a leading forward. Hughes, Krakouer, Meyer and Limbach (I think) were playing as forwards.
The midfield yellow pairings were able to clear all but 3 times. If they got caught that pairing had to redo the drill again. Polo did a great spin and sidestep to allude a red tackler and break clear (the final pass could of been better though). Add to that it was either he or McGuane who nailed I think Pettifer or Lids in a upstanding bearhug tackle as the latter tried to just run and bust through. The drill was happening on the opposite side of the ground to me so it wasn't easy seeing who was who in a contest. Meyer again took some nice grabs on the lead and I think it was Limbach who took a speccie in front of the point post. Overall fairly well done with good intensity.
While this was going on Staff, Tambo, Richo, Simmonds and Browny were practicing their goalkicking with Tivs kicking the ball back from the goalsquare.
And that was it for the day. Graham stayed behind to work on his ruck-taps while Lids, Rodan, Krakouer, Pettifer and Limbach did goalkicking. Wheadon was critiquing each of Rodan, Pettifer and Krakouer's set-shots. Told them there's an optimal power point where if you cross it any mistake is magnified. He also told Rodan that if you don't exceed this optimal point and keep your action (leg) straight at the goals it'll still float flew straight even if you don't connect perfectly.
Terry was one of the last to leave as he was interviewed for Ch 9 News tonight (see other thread for details). So watch out for Ch 9's sport report at around 6.20pm tonight.

A brief training session today that went for about an hour 11am-12pm at Punt Road Oval. The old girl hasn't looked in better shape. Talk about contrast with the state of Vic Park. Well done RFC :clapping.
Mostly marking, kicking and goalkicking drills today. Nothing too fancy. They also did some close ball work.
29 guys were present and they were mostly the NAB squad - Newman, Gas, Lids, Raines, Simmo, Roach, Staff, Joel, Richo, Knobel, Pettifer, Paddy, Sugar, Rodan, Hall, Tuck, Jacko, Cogs, Sarge, Patto, Krak, Blingers, Hyde, Hartigan, White, Moore?, Foley, Humm and Howat.
Knobel was back at training for the first time in a few weeks. He was moving well and kicked a nice goal on the run but as he hasn't played any of the intra-club games you wouldn't think we would play him first up tomorrow.
Pettifer had a glove on his left hand to protect his broken finger and was avoiding using it when taking a mark so he won't play.
Cogs looked ok but they didn't do any running or game drill stuff today so hard to say whether he is 100%. I'd rather we rested him this week given we are taking a no risk approach.
I didn't see Chubba out there today so I think he'll be the fourth omission from the squad of 28.
Browny was watching from the race in casuals. Looked very relaxed wearing his 1970s shades lol.
Wallace was interviewed at training by the media scrum so he should be on the Ch 10 news tonight, 3aw and afl.com.au. (see other thread).

from what i understand we have some major concerns with casserly, oakley-nicholls and tambling re: OP and groins and hammys. Does anyone know the severity of these and finally...is it really necessary to flog all first year players to this degree... no one is gonna run rampant in year 1...maybe wed be better off developing 1st year players with a slightly less rigourous program over the first 2 years of their arrival at Punt Road.
-
Casserly is the one I'm most concerned about. I haven't seen him at training for ages. Oakley-Nicholls and of course Tambo have been around training track recently.
The massive jump from U18 footy to AFL in terms of intensity and number of days training is the main problem. The lighter body types seem to struggle under the extra workload. Maybe we should look at a halfway point for lighter body first year players so the jump isn't so great at once.
-
At the CLub80 dinner earlier in the week JON actually made the comment that this is really the first time in his life he's done a pre-season. He said he didn't do one last year because he had a busted collarbone and by the time it healed it was round one and they just played him in the colts and he got his fitness from there. The other thing is he still growing and the body developing. As for Bling it is a bit the same regarding body development.
Casserly was there too but he wasn't really asked about his injury probs but again it seems to have alot to do with them coming from the WAFL comp (in the case of JON & Casserly) in comparison to the kids that come out of the TAC cup comp. The kids ex 'TAC Cup seem much better prepared for the rigours of AFL training

Just been having a look at Mitch Clark at Brisbane. I just hope its not gonna be another disaster.

For those living in the Eastern suburbs that can make it, there'll be a training session tomorrow at Carey Grammar.

According to Wez on Yellow&Black.info (http://www.yellowandblack.info/forums/showpost.php?p=48868&postcount=17) , who went to the members induction night last night, Casserly said he has OP :( but hopes to start running again within a week. He apparently hasn't had a run or kick for the past month which explains why he hasn't been at training in that time. Mainly been doing weights and bike.
-
Training was at Punt Road today and went for about an hour (11am-12pm).
Absentees were Chaffey and Casserly and I didn't notice Sugar, Moore or Graham out there either.
Browny trained separately with a trainer doing ball skill and kicking practice.
Pettifer still was wearing a glove on his left hand and was avoiding using it when possible.
Oakley-Nicholls or "Jonny be good" as the boys were calling him was back at full training which was good to see. Everyone else looked fit and moved well.
Mostly kicking drills were performed. Wheadon was taking the drills and got the boys to kick in different ways - on the run, stop and prop, firm flat kicks, spinning kicks, targetting specifically the chest and then just above the head in front of the eyes. Not the greatest display of precision kicking you'll see :-\. Our guys still need to learn to kick to a teammates advantage whatever the situation. Most kicks went to a teammate but a number were either too low or too high or to the wrong side. Jacko kicked a couple of shockers near us that missed by metres. If they can't hit targets precisely under no pressure at training then not surprising we see poor skills on matchday like last Saturday. On a positive note Roachy and Knobel were surprisingly good (although Knobel dropped a couple of straightforward marks) and Lids, Tambo and Meyer were their usual accurate selves.
The squad then switched to a full ground length drill moving the ball from deep in defence, along the wing, to a leading forward. Only the receiver on the wing and the leading forward had an opponent so it was done under little pressure. This was performed well in the main with only one or two kicks that didn't hit their targets.
The squad then finished off with some close in body on body handball work and goalkicking. Joel, Newman, Simmo and Oakley-Nicholls stayed behind for 10 more minutes at the Brunton Avenue end to work on some defensive rebound kicking.
Wallace was interviewed by Ch 10 and others after training. See other thread.
Camera still in the repair shop so sorry Julz no photos.

Training today was a Punt Road oval. A fairly long one too as it went for 2 hours (11am - 1pm).
Everyone was present except for Lids who as mentioned was crook with a stomach bug as well as Thursty and Sarge for obvious reasons.
The whole squad started off with a 10-15m agility run through a line of cones followed by a 3-on-2 handball drill over 20m. When a handball or two missed the mark Wallace and then Royal stepped in and stopped the drill and told them all to "watch their skills" and "it's a simple skill". Overall fairly well done by all.
For the next drill the dquad split into two at either end of the centre square for a straight line mark and kicking on the run drill. They performed the drill for about 10 minutes and I'd reckon there was only 6 errors (3 dropped marks, 2 too short kicks, 1 wide kick) which was good to see. Knobel took one off his toes on the run which got applause from Wallace. Overall not perfect by any means as some kicks were low or high which forced the marker to stop and prop instead of staying in motion but it was clean.
Wallace and coaching staff then put the boys through two quarters of match practice. Kel Moore did runs along the boundary and 3 players waited on the sidelines and rotated during the game. After any score it was a kick-in so it was sometimes hard to tell if a goal or point had been scored. Here's roughly the score:
Yellows 2.1-13 (Tuck, Jacko)
Blacks 3.4-22 (Johnson, Tambling, Meyer).
Meyer took the mark 60m out on a HFF then ran in and around two yellows and sank one from 50m. Very nice goal that received alot of vocal praise and high-5's from his teammates.

Nothing much that was too different from the Saints game. Plenty of run and carry with a few turnovers chucked in. Hyde was very good with some attacking runs through the centre. Foley tried the same a couple of times but got caught twice.
Match-ups: Richo v Gas; Tambo v Roach; Graham v Hall; Limbach v McGuane; Chaffey v Howat; Pettifer v Newman; Rodan v Tivs; Hyde v Cogs;
Polo went off and inside the rooms. Came out feeling his upper leg. Not sure there's any damage but I overheard the trainer say to Dean if he wasn't right to take a week off. He went back in then came out with an icepack.
After the scratch match, the squad spilt into 3 groups with one doing goalkicking and the other two on the wings working on 6-on-6 ball-up and throw in set-ups and midfield transitional play where each 6 man team worked the footy to a player standing inside of square of cones in each pocket. There seemed to be an emphasis on finding guys with long kicks running towards goal. A number of "over the top of the opposition" kicks to a teammate on goal side of his opponent. One of Sugar's passes was brilliant. Long to Foley who didn't have to break stride :clapping.
Each group then rotated. Richo interestingly started in one of the midfield groups (where he rucked lol) and hardly did any goalkicking from memory.
And that was roughly two hours.
Photos to come :thumbsup.

Disappointing if he's injured - would have thought if we were going to play a couple of the kids this week that Polo would be considered along with JON and Cleve :thumbsup
-
I forgot to add that David King at the end of training was giving left footers Tivs and Hyde tips on dodging and weaving so they can get on their left and kick a long goal from 50. Tivs was very good in the drills btw. Blingers then came across and started doing the same thing with Kingy on his right foot.

Ball-up setup with Simmonds vs Staff
-
Training was a Punt Road Oval this morning from 11am to 1pm. A very windy day which affected the flight of the ball. The only guys absent were Thursty and Sarge. Gas, Chaffey and Moore did reflex and short handball drills by the race while Simmonds and Casserly did a few laps and runs before joining the other 3. Simmo also did some bag ruck work with a trainer. Everyone else including Browny was in the main group and completed the whole 2 hours. Someone towards the end of training yelled out to Browny how he was feeling and he gave his usual response - "brilliant".
Training began with a few short agility runs through and around cones at the Brunton Ave end before Wallace brought everyone into a huddle for a chat and to catch up with swollen-faced Roachy. They then did a 3-on-2 handball drill which was done ok but could have been better. Graham's first two handballs missed the mark and he got told off.
The squad then broke up into five smaller groups with the fifth one full of the big blokes in the goalsquare at the northern end (Richo v Joel, Staff v Kellaway and Patto v Graham). I'm presuming that would mean Joel and Chubba will be used in the key-defensive roles this week. The actual drill was simply a pair from each group would run out and one took the mark then quickly dished off to his partner who kicked to the next pairing. After it got to the fourth pairing they would then kick it to a 1-on-1 duel between the bigger blokes up "forward" in the square. Overall ok but a number of passes were sloppy andwent astray. I'm hoping that was more due to the windy conditions :-\. Just for Moi - Rainesy was very clean with his disposal.
The rest of the session was focussed on gameplan drills. The first was a 5 vs 5 goal to goal rebounding and transition drill followed by the same thing but from a kick-in and CHB huddle. It seemed the guys had adjusted better to the wind as this was performed far more cleanly. Wallace did have to remind them that the "ball moves quicker by foot".
The remaining drills concentrated in inside 50s and forward contexts. At the far Brunton Ave end one group would pass deep to 1-on-1 contest. I saw Lids do a couple of ripping firm and low passes that hit their mark. Most of the other guys did well too as they kicked at least to the advantage of the forward which was good to see. The other group at the Northern end close to us worked on crating a 3-on-3 contest with the forwards bringing the ball down to the crumbers. Wallace kept emphasising that there needs to be someone "front and square". Richo was throwing himself in every contest even if he got there before the ball had even arrived :rollin. I was glad to see everyone get up fine in a couple of collisions. I think Richo might have copped a knock to the hip at one stage as he got a massage from the trainer but he was fine afterwards.
The squad finished off with Wheadon kicking to a pack at the top of the square with crumbers doing some quick snaps off the pack. Rodan, Krak, Tivs, Paddy, Tambo and Humm did the main crumbing from what I saw. Richo tried one but it went 15m out on the full in the big fella's enigmatic style :lol. Hughes took some good pack marks just through having such clean hands when going for a mark. The goalkicking from range was generally poor but the wind was creating havoc. I was watching Tuck, Hughes and Rodan having set shots and a straight kick would deviate like anything.
The only other news is that Matt White is bald which isn't a good look lol (looks like Nathan Eagleton but with a slight growth all over). Apparently a mate shaved his head on his birthday last Saturday.

Boy would I ever like to see us getting crumbing goals rather than watching the opposition rebound easily out of defence
Thanks for the report, I don't get up to the city as much these days :thumbsup

Yeah GD it was good to see us yesterday work on our crumbing for about 30 minutes with a couple of different drills. The last time we were any decent at it was when Daffy and Naish were around up forward :-\.

Great photos. thanks! :clapping

Anyone else planning on going to training tomorrow?
As i am still on holidays i am planning on going down. I will have my 2 little kids with me, so if anyone else is there please come and say hello.
I will try and take some photos to post also and a report but dont expect it to be upto MT's standard.
-
I am ;)
-
I'll try to make it to training but no guarantees.
Btw Punt Road Oval was all lit up tonight as I was heading home from work. Does anyone know what was happening there? ???
-
Training was short and sharp this morning.
Players spent approx an hour out on the track and the main focus from the drills was direct movement of the footy. It appears that we are going to play mainly down the corridor this week against the blues.
The main drill had four groups, one in each end and one on either wing (right on the boundary) the ball would move from one to the wing and then to a leading forward. Staff and Clever were the two leading forwards down my end and i think Richo and maybe Chubba were down the Brunton Ave end (not 100% sure)
The talk amongst the group was fantastic with all the players sounding very upbeat and talking tomorrow's game as a big one in the context of our season. David King and Wheadon conducted most of the drills with a big demand on a high skill level and a high intensity also. Knobel and Krak also trained with the main group, Knobel trained well and looks back on track, Krak was a disgrace and is just too lazy for my liking. He does do some good things, but doesnt seem that interested out there on the track. In particular they performed a drill were they had three lines on either side and the players had to run through and handball under pressure from two guys in red tops who were meant to tackle. Krak was in a red top for a while and i dont think i seen him lay a hand on someone with maybe one exception (he tackled Staff) and he is meant to be our best tackler.
Wallace spoke with Tuck and Deledio at the same time, obviously about their roles for tomorrow night. He also spoke with Hartigan at length and it appeared to me that Hartigans body language changed after that and i think he may be dropped this week. Raines looks great out on the track and his skill level is great. Clever looks to be a great mark and he also seems to be failry confident within himself.
If there is going to be 2 changes, it would more than likely be Knobel and Clever for Hartigan and Pattison.
All in all it was a fairly good session ahead of tomorrow nights game.
I have taken some photos which i emailed to MT and WP, i never have much luck posting them on here.
Got a few close ups of Simmo and Raines, that should keep Julz and Moi happy ;D

Great report Bully :cheers :clapping :thumbsup

That's good to hear. I thought last week we were sloppy at training but then again we won the game when it mattered so there you go lol.
LOL @ Krak coming into the team after Bully's spray ;D.

I am bewildered MT ;D
-
A quick question Bully - who was absent (Browny?) and who was in the rehab group?
-
Browny wasnt to be seen.
The only people i seen out on the ground was Gaspar and one other who i couldnt recognise. They were down the other end of the ground mainly doing some kicking. I was waiting until they came off to see who the other person was but i got distracted and when i looked again they were gorn. Gas appeared to be moving well and was kicking fine.
The other person who was out there and didnt train was JON. He ran a few laps, did some stretching and then some light kicking.

thanks one -eye
always a privelage to read these reports, keep it up.
I am very concerned about Waite and Fev.
The blues strength is our weakness. I think we are gunna be in trouble tonight.
IMHO Waite is a fricken champion!

Waite is their most talented player IMO. We had Thursty on him last year and about the only time Thursty had his colours lowered. Put Hall on Fev and then either Joel, Chubba or even Rainesy on Waite. Waite's better than Brennan but they play similarly so Rainesy wouldn't be out of his depth.
-
Training today was quite a long session for a midseason one. About an hour and a half from 11am to 12.30pm.
Everyone was in attendance. Saw Thursty on crutches in the race with his leg brace on. The rehab group consisted of Moore, Casserly, Browny and Schulz with Rainesy, Tuck and Roachy in and out of the main group.
Moore, Casserly and Roachy (when he was with them) did runs along the boundary then did some kick to kick. Roachy joined the main group in the training drills but stayed out of the scratch match. His face looks much better and swelling is virtually gone.
Browny was doing straight line running (100-200m) at the start of training then joined Schulz in some goalkicking practice then some kick to kick. Sarge did some jostling with a trainer in the kick to kick so his shoulder appears to be coming along nicely.
Raines and Tuck didn't joined the main group until the scratch match.
Knobel and Hall didn't participate in the final drill of the session after the scratch match. Foley stood on the boundary as well.
Sugar only played half (one 10 min quarter) the scratch match they had today before heading inside the rooms. He did all the drills before that and was moving fine.
As for the actual training - it was mainly focussed around game-base stuff. The first drill of the day was close-in tight handball practice bumping off bodies etc. The coaching staff seemed very pleased with the way it was done and the boys gave themselves a round of applause.
Next came the kicking drills. Firstly a standard mark, run and kick 40m one followed by a transitional drill with a player in the middle receiving a 20m pass who then passed 20m to the next guy and back again. All fairly well done.
Tezza then brought the boys in and they separated into Yellows and Blacks for the scratch match which consisted of two 10 min halves. The standard was pretty much in line with what we've seen during the games. Lots of run and carry plus good clearances out of defence and through the midfield. The first half was a normal scratch match while in the second half there was more focus on ball-up and throw-in set-ups. After a goal the ball would be brought back to that teams half-forward line for a ball-up.
Richo was doing as he pleased although McGuane who was his match-up ran forward a few times. Jacko and Hughes presented well and took a couple of good marks on the lead. Our runners - Hartigan, Hyde, Lids, Tivs and Cogs were prominent. I know I'm biased but Meyer is our best passer at the club. If only he got more of the footy he would destroy any opposition.
Scores:
Blacks 1.1 2.3 Hughes 1.0, Lids 1.0, Richo 0.1, Hyde 0.1, Paddy 0.1
Yellows 0.0 0.2 Jacko 0.1 ..

A few match-ups:

Meyer v Cogs
Graham v Staff
Chaffey v Hyde
Blingers v Tuck
White v Pettifer
JON v Paddy
After the scratch match the squad completed the session with a full rebound from defence drill which was quite impressively done by the end of it. There was a main focus on the rebounding kick outside defensive 50 being long and over a pack to someone waiting in space forward side of the centree circle then running and passing to a forward. If a forward deep on the lead couldn't be found they would pass to a teammate just on the 50 who then spotted up a leading forward. Up forward we had Richo, Hughes, Pettifer and Paddy with Lids pushing forward from the middle.
The session finished with a warmdown while Joel, Lids, Krak, Pettifer, Rodan and others did some goalkicking.
My camera battery needed recharging so sorry no photos from today :(.

Is there anything wrong with Rainsey as to why he didn't participate until the scratch match? Do you reckon he's feeling the effects of a gruelliing couple of weeks for him? Doesn't show, but he's still a kid and i'm sure it will take its toll eventually.

Rainesy looked fine during the scratch match and he and Tucky spent practically the whole time together chatting away. Just precautionary for the both of them I'd reckon. We did the same with Simmo two weeks back and he hasn't missed a beat.

Btw forgot to say there were at least 100 people watching training today (bandwagoners ;D ) including two groups of schoolkids on excursion. Hey why didn't my school have excursions to watch the Tiges?! Ripped off! :rollin
Teacher: "Your assignment today kiddies is on Tigers".
Kids: "At the zoo?"
Teacher: "Nah, Punt Rd" :thumbsup
LOL @ the teachers justifying this to the Education Department.

thanks for the report mt
how did chaffey go?
-
how did chaffey go?
Trained with the main group and got through the whole session. Looked to be moving freely during the drills and showed no sign of the calf injury that has kept him out since coming back from OP. He played on Hyde in the scratch match and Hyde would have had far more of the ball through the midfield. Paul Armstrong said on Club Corner on Monday night that Chaff would play some proportion of a game at Coburg this weekend. They haven't decided yet if that'll be for Coburg seniors or their reserves.

The last half an hour was on the run goalkicking practice. The squad was split into three groups with one in the square and the other two on opposite HFFs. The ball would be kicked out from the square to someone on 50 who would then handball to a teammate running towards goal. The player running towards goal had to get around an opponent and have a shot at goal from a range of about 30-45m.
Pretty disappointing and Wallace said so himself afterwards. He told Sugar who was standing in the race in casuals that it was good training session apart from the last part. The boys did the goalkicking drill in two goes and the first time they kicked 7 from 17 shots and the second time only 13 from 25. The conditions today were good too. Bright sunshine and only a gentle breeze. So there were no excuses for missing. I couldn't single anyone out individually as it seemed everyone missed at least one. Lack of penetration and balance and not kicking through the ball properly would be my main reasons why shots were missed.

On reflection, MT, was there anything from last week that you noticed would have led to how we played on the weekend?
And, if so, should Adelaide sack their forward scout? :shh

I only saw the last half hour of training last Wednesday Moi and they were working on running goals - run inside 50, dodge around an opponent then take a ping. It was different to the norm in itself and Newman's goal on the weekend was the drill in practice, but there was no keepings off. The keeping off drills must have been done before I arrived.
-
Training today went for about an hour and 45 minutes starting at 11am. All the squad was in attendance except for Thursfied while only Graham, doing handball drills on bourndary, was not with the main group. Btw Tommy Hafey was there today watching training :thumbsup.
Lots and lots of 1-on-1 stuff today which was good to see as other clubs have found this is way to stop Geelong - man them up and put them under pressure.
The first couple of tasks were straight line short distance drills. The squad was split into four smal groups by the members fence and matched-up 1-on-1. Each player had to first accelerate, lead and mark over a 10-15m distance under pressure from his man behind him. This was followed by picking a rolled ball off the ground under pressure and handballing off. Wheadon kept barking instructions to the "defender" to not go easy on any fumbles by the guy in front. Overall well done.
The whole squad then moved out to work on longer passes over 30-40m. It was basically running kick to kick but the boys were paired up as attacker and defender. The attacker would lead and mark under pressure from his opponent then run forward and pass with his pairing now acting as a teammate telling him his all clear.
The next drill was more game based 1-on-1. The squad was split into a forward line at each end of the ground and two groups of midfields in the centre that would alternate. The drill would begin at HB with the midfielders all huddled in the centre trying to lose their direct opponent. As the huddle split everyone would be man-on-man and the attacking "team" would work their way forward with short passes to leading teammates. The midfield group was roughly 6 vs 6 and every attacker was offering leads to the player with the footy. Most of the passes were forward with a couple sideways to switch the play. Out of interest there were no back passes as we saw on the weekend. On one occassion Wallace said the movement of the footy was outstanding. There were only one or two poor passes that didn't hit their target so overall once again well done.
The squad then had a scratch match. As with the drills earlier it was man-on-man all over the park and the team going forward would hold the ball up to find the right pass inside 50. I can only remember two obvious turnovers so the game was fairly clean as far as disposal went. One error by Tivs when he scrubbed a kick along the ground and the other by the Yellows up at the other of the ground which I couldn't see who it was but he should have had a running shot at goal instead of passing to a 1-on-1 contest. Lids, Richo, Sugar and Meyer stood out with Lids one time running through the midfield and passing to Richo about 45m out on an angle then receiving the pass from Richo directly in front 30 out and goaling. Cogs took a top overhead mark about 15m out and goaled.
Browny and Casserly were the only ones who didn't join in and they spent their time on the boundary doing kick to kick. Moore, JON, Limbach and Paddy rotated on and off the ground.

Patto-Razor
Pettifer-Polo
Jackson-McGuane
White-Meyer
Scores: Blacks 3.0-18 (Cogs, Richo and Lids) to Yellows 1.0-6 (Hartigan)
The last drill was a 6-on-6 passing game in the centre of the ground. Each 6-team would take turns maintaining possession and moving the ball forward with any mistake immediately being classed as a turnover even if the same "side" maintained possession. There was one backward pass to switch the play but most kicks were forward to leading teammates who had run hard into space. Overall cleanly done with Tambo having a field day running and bouncing with the footy. At least twice he brushed off an opponent at HB ran to HF then dished off by either hand or foot.
And that was it except for some set-shot goalkicking to finish off. Terry told the boys it was an excellent session.
I've got some photos but not many. I'll see tonight if they are worth putting up.
-
Forgot to say Casserly hopes to be playing next week. Presumably with the Coburg ressies. So touchwood, if we don't get any further injuries, we may only have Thursty and Browny on the sidelines in 2 weeks time.
-
Did Tommy talk to any of the players, MT or just looking on?
Great to see he was down there anyway :thumbsup

The final drill // Casserly lines up for a shot amongst the organised chaos.
-
Training started at 11 but I could only make it to the last hour 12-1pm. Absent were Lids (inj), Chaffey, Knobel, Hall, Krakouer, Hyde and Moore. Richo was watching training by the fence with his arm in a cast.
Barry Rowlings (wearing a Crazy Johns polo) was also watching training from the race. The Crazy Johns mascot was nearby without his mask on and everyone was poking him in the stomach lol. Not sure what was happening with Crazy Johns there but even Flea had a CJ polo on.
The squad was practicing their running goals when I arrived. 2-on-1's where the attacker would take on the defender and either have a shot or if he drew the defender handball off to his teammate who would take the shot. I take it from that we'll be taking Freo on with a running attacking style this week. Nicely done btw.
The squad then split into Black and Yellows for a scratch match. Sarge was the only one to not participate.
Blacks: Yellows:
1. Newman 2. Gas
4. Raines 7. Browny
5. Simmomds 8. Roach
10. Stafford 18. Rodan
11. Joel 19. Limbach
14. Polo 23. Jackson
15. Pettifer 25. Schulz
16. Paddy 29. J.O.N.
17. Johnson 33. Hartigan
21. Tuck 34. Hughes
22. Meyer 35. White
24. Cogs 37. Casserly
26. Patto 38. McGuane
30. Tambling 41. Foley
32. Tivs 42. Humm
39. Kellaway 43. Howat
44. Graham
Some match-ups: Pettifer-White, Tambling-Roach, Browny-Meyer, Patto-McGuane, Simmonds-Graham, Tuck-Humm and Kellaway-Hughes. Staff played at FF for the Blacks with Gas FB while Hughes FF for the Yellows. Polo was in a FP minded by JON.
Blacks: 3.1-19 (Polo, Simmonds, Newman). Nice set shots by Polo and Newman (on the "siren") both on an acute angle.
Yellows: 0.1-1
The game was played with very good intensity and full on tackling. Kingy gave Pettifer a wrap for his tackling in holding the ball inside the Blacks forward line. You could clearly hear the hits from the stand. Joel, Tivs, Newman would push forward from defence by passing short then sprinting forward past the mark into space to receive the footy back closer to goal. The Blacks won by being cleaner with their final pass inside 50 whereas the Yellows' passes were now and then chopped off. Best were Joel, Tivs, Newman, Polo, Cogs, Simmonds and Paddy. Hartigan got a fair bit of the footy but turned it over a couple of times. White did ok off a HBF.
As mentioned in the other thread, Browny completed the whole session with the main group including the scratch match and looked pretty good.
The session finished with Kingy acting as a defender and getting the boys to take him on and kick a goal on the run under pressure. White and JON both burnt poor Kingy off with pace. Newman, Tivs, Hartigan and Polo also joined in. Steve Alessio worked with Simmo and Patto with their ruckwork. The rest were practicing their leads and marks with one of the trainers.
And that was it for the day and Wallace sounded pleased with how it went.
-
Barry Rowlings (wearing a Crazy Johns polo) was also watching training from the race. The Crazy Johns mascot was nearby without his mask on and everyone was poking him in the stomach lol. Not sure what was happening with Crazy Johns there but even Flea had a CJ polo on.
Crazy Johns are sponsoring the Legends cup match this season - I think this year it is on as the curtain raiser to the North game on June 10th
Both Bazza & Flea are down to play - any supporter can play if they are prepared to cough up $1500 ;D
After all these years of being a "gonna" CJ's is finally a "doin"

Not a long training session for a Wednesday. It went from 11am to about 12.15pm. Obviously Terry reducing the workload to allow the boys to recover after the trip to Perth and be fresh again for Saturday. I got there a bit late and was listening to Bracks and Andy D press conference then listened to March.
Everyone was in attendance that I saw except for Chaffey and Thursty. Richo has the plaster cast off but there's still a splint/support on his arm and around his wrist and hand. Although he wants to play in Tassie and will travel down their anyway with the team, he won't be back until after the midseason break according to March.
Lids is right to play this week but Krakouer's knee is still a bit sore so is doubtful. Both did the whole training session though and Krak's gallop didn't look restricted.
Browny got through the whole session too and looked fine so yeah he's right to play this week too if he pulls up fine tomorrow without any pain.
Schulz got through too and performed very well in the running drills for a big bloke. There was hardly any physical contact at training today so hard to tell if his shoulder is right for an AFL game. He showed no signs of any discomfort so hopefully he's right to go too.
The order of the day was run and carry drills. The first was a midfield group would huddle in the centre and then break out and work the ball to the forwards (Simmo, Staff). The second one was a full length ground drill of 5 vs 5. The 5-team with the ball needed to run the ball forward and then hit a teammate over the top of his direct opponent while he running inside 50 towards the goals who would take a running shot. Very nicely done down the field with hardly a mistake. Sugar, Blingers and even Knobel :o pulled off the best pinpoint passes. The running shots on goal were on about par.
Training finished on a lighter note with the squad lined up in two rows about 30-50m out from the Northern end goals and each player taking a set shot while getting a ribbing. Tucky won the day as he hit the Motorola sign dead centre on the netting behind the goals. Worst kick was Krak lol who's kick went off the side of the boot. I would've said 50% of the shots went through the middle so although it was a bit of fun you would hope for better accuracy. Pettifer sangged his shot so no swearing at himself today ;D.
And that was it. Too finish off Meyer, Cogs, Schulz, Jacko and Rodan did some sprints. Rainesy, Newman and Knobel practiced marking on short leads. Tuck, Humm and JON did handball drills off the trampoline by the fence. The rest either did goalkicking or push-ups.
-
Just got back from training today. I only got to see the last 30-40 minutes so only a brief report today.
There were a few absentees when I rocked up. No Chaffey, Richo, Knobel, Jackson or Thursfield as expected as they're all injured. Also missing (or possibly left early before I got there) were Paddy Bowden, Tuck, Jackson, Hyde, Moore and Humm. Johnson and Joel stayed out of the drills and watched on.
Browny completed the whole session which was great news :thumbsup.
Stength and one-on-one drills under pressure were the order of the day. The squad would get into a circle with a pairing in the centre and one player would have to fight for position to receive a handpass from the boys around the circle then dish it off again while the other tried to block him and steal the footy. Good intensity and it really tested the fitness as some were breathing hard after their turn. Those short of match fitness seemed to be feeling it the hardest (Casserly was stuffed). Funniest pairing was Gas and Staff. Gas early on just kept running around the perimeter of the circle with poor Staff trying to keep up (if Staff had stayed in the one spot he would have had better luck lol). It became more of a contest as Gas got tired. Foley and Cogs was the best duel. Like two dogs fighting over a bone.
While half of group continued to do that, the other half were paired up to wrestle the footy of each other standing up. From memory Newman v Hartigan, Razor v Schulz, Hughes v Chubba, White v Meyer were some of the pairings. Once again plenty of hardness and good intensity. Terry obviously wants them switched on physically this week.
The session finished with some goalkicking. Once again Kingy took the young midfielders through some long running goal practice. Krak and Hughes were practicing kicking torps with Wheadon. Polo, McGuane and Sarge were taking shots from the boundary. The rest did set shots.
I spoke to one of the fitness staff and they are really happy with how the young blokes are coming on. Give us 2 more years :thumbsup

whats happening with #40 dont seem to hear much about him at all
Kel Moore has just come back the last week or two from some hip injury. He just hasn't been able to stay away from injury.
-

Kel Moore played for the Coburg reserves last week against Frankston.
Spent alot of time up forward, out of the goalsquare, next to Cleve. I missed a fair bit of the second half because I was in the Dolphin Social Club trying to de-frost ;D but I think he may have gone down back (HBF) in the last quarter
-
Juts got back from training at Punt Road. A big crowd turn-up with heaps of kids. Not sure why there were so many. I saw a Auskick back-pack so maybe that had something to do with it.
I got to Punt Road about 11.40pm and the squad was about to start a scratch match (two quarters) which took up most of the training session. Absentees were Richo of course getting the pins taken out of his wrist, Thursfield and Cogs. Chaffey, Knobel and Humm didn't play in the scratch match and left early.

Best:
Schulz and Pettifer were shining lights up forward. Good strong leads and marks. If Sarge doesn't play this week then he never will. JON started well in the scratch match picking up heaps of footy through the middle but Petts got the better of the duel for the rest of the game.
Patto carried on from where he left off in the Hawks game. He's still learning but coming along nicely. Nice snap shot for goal out of a pack under pressure too.
Krakouer's attitude was good. Despite one stupid 20m pass straight to a opponent he was involved in the game. Would have had his neck just ahead of Rainsey in their match-up.
Hyde the Yellows best by far. Gots heaps of it through the middle. Not sure why Razor was matched-up against him on a wing :o.
Tambling and Meyer were clean in everything they did although they didn't get much of it up forward. Blingers moved into the centre towards the end of the game and immediately won a clearance.
Lids, Sugar and Razor didn't look 100% in their movements. They all got through the whole session though as far as I know. Lids had two set shots and while they were on an angle he scored a point from one and OOF from the other. Mind you the set shot goalkicking in the second quarter often left alot to be desired with a number of misses which sadly is nothing new for us and hurts us in the real stuff given the new instant kick-in rule.
Browny didn't get much of it either.
The rest were fairly even match-ups. The difference between the two teams is one had an effective forward line and the other didn't.
The Blacks were able to isolate the leads of Schulz, Pettifer, Lids, Patto and Krak while most Yellows forward entries were contested pack marks/spoils. Only Tambling and Meyer were able to on occasions get free on the lead.
After the practice match, the squad did a 5 v 5 full-ground rebounding drill. Pettifer and Moore stayed out of it on the boundary. On the whole very well done with clean movement of the footy. Our more quick guys did the best - Tambling (nice sprint and running goal), White, Newman, Hyde, Hartigan.
The session finished off with the squad breaking up into their respective end of training routines - set shot and running goalkicking, push-ups, etc.. .

B. Graham Tuck Foley
Y. #20 (Coburg?) Johnson Rodan
Apparently going by BF the kid wearing #20 was Jonathan Lee. I should have known as the kid has the same long straight hair haircut that his Dad had.
How did he go?
He was only on for a short while from what I saw L19 and I don't remember him touching the footy. They put him in the ruck against Graham at one stage but didn't allow him to contest it (insurance reasons?). He also called for the footy from the wing on his own but no one passed it to him. It seemed more a case of evening up the numbers and giving one of our guys a rest on the boundary as part of the rotation. So I couldn't judge his skills. His size though was good for a kid who is just 17. He's obviously still too light framed for AFL footy as a ruckman but at a supposedly 196cm and 85kg he's no toothpick. That's why I thought he may have been a Coburg player as size wise he just looked like a Limbach (the real one ;D ;) ) or McGuane.
Apparently Lee is going to be down at Punt Road all this week so if you're able to get down to Friday's training session you might see him if he's still training with us.

i heard today was a closed session, does this mean this game is our "crunch" game as terry rarely has closed training sessions??

The public sessions are on Wednesday and Friday at 11am so I don't believe the closed session today is unusual X. Of course you could still be right about this week being the "crunch" game. Makes sense if it is :thumbsup.

Wallace has said on several occasions and did so again last night on WLF that he wouldn't have closed training sessions at anytime

That hunch of yours was on the ball X. A secret training session away from Punt Road to work on wet weather tactics then a war-room meeting back at Punt Road :thumbsup.
-
Only caught a glimpse of training as they finished after only 30 minutes but I was told Meyer trained so he's over the flu and the big fella was the last to go off the ground due to all the autograph hunters.
-
I only saw the last hour but training went for over 2 hours today 11am-1.10pm at Punt Road. As mentioned in the other thread the crutches duo Newy and Harts were there doing handballs for a shortwhile. Polo, Tuck and Jacko (hammy) were at the ground and in their training gear but didn't participate while I was there and stayed mostly in the rooms. No sign of Gas, Krak or Moore nor the injured ones like Cogs, Knobel, Thursty and Casserly.
The remaining 30 rotated in 6-vs-6 throw-in and ball-up drills where each team had to win the ball then work it to their forwards to score. Meyer was up one end and Schulz the other from memory. Browny appeared the best at winning heaps of the ball from the taps when he was involved while JON got alot of encouragment from the coaches especially when he left everyone for dead and kicked a long goal on the run. Blingers didn't do much but his smother and intercept of Roach's kick then sprint and long goal on the run was great to watch. Richo and Rodan also got praise for their clean passes. The main critical comments from the coaches was for the guys to work just as hard back without the footy as when they had it and just not walk back.
The squad then had a quarter-long scratch match.
Teams:
Yellows: Blacks:
Lids Chaffey
Raines Browny
Simmo Staff
Roach Limbach
Joel Pettifer
Richo Paddy
Rodan Johnson
Meyer Hall
Schulz Foley
Graham Patto
JON Tivs
White Hughes
McGuane Kellaway
Blingers Howat
Humm Hyde
Scores:
Yellows 2.1-13 - Goals: JON, Richo; Behinds: Schulz.
Blacks 1.5-11 - Goal: Foley; Behinds: Browny, Foley, Petts, Hyde, Patto. From memory Paddy also had a set shot marked on the goal line. Most of the misses were from set shots :scream.
Blacks in general play looked to have more of the footy but the Yellows made the most of their scoring opportunities.
Some Match-ups:
F Blacks: Petts Browny Meyer
B Yellows: Raines JON Joel
C Blacks: Hughes Patto Hyde Foley Howat Chubba
C Yellows: McGuane Graham White Blingers Rodan Lids
B Blacks: Paddy Richo
F Yellows: Schulz Limbach/Hall?
Simmo and Staff only played for a short while.
The scratch-match was not full-on but a decent one for training.
Sugar (best) and Foley got a number of clearances.
Browny and JON had a great duel. Browny had slightly the better closer to the Blacks goal but JON made an effort to push up the ground which resulted in his goal. Browny looked free in his movements so that was a good sign.
Richo's ball-handling appeared better today. Schulz was solid.
Lids got a fair bit of the ball out wide but on occassions tried to feign and dodge around Chubba and although he never got caught and got free, two of his passes where chopped off by Black defenders.
Rodan, White and Meyer did some nice things. Terry gave Danny some praise as they walked into the rooms after training.
They finished with some goalkicking practice. Lids and Browny practising their bananas and Daicos-esque dribbling goals.
-
Training Times this week:
Wednesday, August 2 - 9.30am :-\ – Punt Road Oval
Friday, August 4 – 11am - Punt Road Oval
-
I only caught the last 20-30 mins of training which was mainly warming down (push-ups) with some guys doing goalkicking - Patto, Krak, Rodan, Tambo, Limbach, Petts, Foley, Casserly, Polo, Tuck, White and Graham. Sarge brought out a "man on the mark' prop and practiced passing to a trainer just over the raised arms of the prop. Rainesy, Rodan and Tivs joined in. Tivs aimed for the prop and hit it in the chest. It'd be nice if his short passes were that accurate during a game ;).
As training started at 11am it would have gone for just under 2 hours although Foley was still practising inside 50 kicks and chatting with Wheadon after everyone else had gone inside.
With all our injuries it was a small squad at training. Almost easier to name who was there instead of who wasn't :-\. Present were Lids, Rainesy, Simmo, Chaffey, Roach, Joel, Richo, Knobel, Polo, Pettifer, Rodan, Limbach, Hall, Tuck, Schulz, Patto, Krak, Tambo, Hyde, Tivs, Hughes, White, Casserly, Moore, Foley, Humm, Howat and Graham. I saw Paddy Bowden come out of the rooms at the end to sign an autograph. He had only one upper leg warmer on (his right leg). Hopefully not a sign of a hammy ???.
As for the goalkicking - Patto is so far ahead of everyone else in terms of his professionalism and nailing his set shots at training IMO. The time is paying off too as he practiced for all the time I was there and missed once only narrowly. Krak, Limbach, Petts, Tambo and Rodan were also doing systematically today although I'd like someone or a prop to act as a man on the mark when they take their set shots. Krak was trying different angles at a time but like on Saturday if he mistimes his kick in any way they struggle to make the distance from 35-40m out.
At the end of training David King got Patto, Krak, Rodan, Limbach, Casserly, Polo and Graham to have a shot from 40m out just inside the boundary with the closest to the centre of the goals the winner. Chocco Royal was on the mark. Polo went first with a round the body kick and got it through. It wasn't a fluke as he did it again. His straight line running set shot though missed. Patto was second last with a proper set shot and it sailed over Kingy's head. Rodan did the same.

Did all shots make the distance?

Graham had two shots. One went across the face and bounced 10m out while the other went through for a goal which he was quite happy with lol. Everyone else from memory made the distance with their shot.

It was windy ;) but more right to left. It didn't help Krak when he mistimed his kick :nope.

Not much to report today other than who was there and who wasn't.
I only saw the last half an hour so unless they left early Tivs and Chubba were absent which might mean both are doubtful to play. No sign of Razor either.
JON came out of the rooms to do laps around the boundary. Although his arm and shoulder were free, he would hold his right arm close to his body so no weight was being beared on the collarbone as he ran. One of the assistants told him to not use the arm as he was running past.
Moore came out of the rooms in his tracksuit for a little while. Poor guy can't escape injury.
Those who completed training were Lids, Raines, Simmo, Chaffey, Roach, Staff, Joel, Richo, Knobel, Polo, Petts, Paddy, Sugar, Rodan, Limbach, Tuck, Schulz, Patto, Krak, Blingers, Hyde, Hughes, White, Casserly, McGuane, Foley, Humm, Howat and Graham.
McGuane did this absolute ripper inside-out torp from the boundary line that split the middle. You had to see it to believe it. David King was so impressed he tried to copy Luke and sprayed it by miles lol.
-
I made it to the end of training today thanks to morons nicking copper from the overload power lines on the Epping line :P so not much to report in terms of what the squad did today.
All the coaching staff as well as Miller were present at training. It was a HUGE squad with a few unfamiliar faces but most Tigers were there from who I saw. For the OER ladies, yes Richo, Browny and a few others were topless. Browny looks in top shape already. Casserly and Moore are competing for most peroxide in their hair.
I took a couple of photos which I'll put up when I get home tonight but I'll need to blow them to remember what I took. Most are squad photos but I have pics of Tambling, Polo and Tuck as well.

It's cliche but Browny on the SEN news said we're the fitess he's ever seen us. We'll taper off training leading up to Christmas then pick it up again when the squad comes back in early Jan.
-
I think training began at 10 am but I got there half an hour later. A long session too that went for about 3 hours. I left just before 1pm and they were just beginning their warm-down.
As mentioned in the injury thread, the rehab group consisted of Cogs, Thursfield, Hartigan and Simmons. Newy was present also but I only saw him leave. Alot of the squad were wearing different numbers than normal so I'll need to check the photos when I get home and blow them up but I didn't notice Knobel, JON, Hyde or Petersen at training. The new draftees trained separately from the main group and mainly worked on their fitness around the boundary and then did a couple of handball games towards the end.
There were a few non-Richmond guys. Of those that I knew were Kingsley, Limbach, Jake King from Coburg and Zac Hier. There were about 3 others but I didn't know who was who or which was which.
Training today mainly focussed on running hard into space from a kick or winning the ball from a ball-up in the centre and then working the ball inside 50 to the forwards. The squad was split in two (Blacks and Whites) and mini plays were done over and over again in either half or full ground drills. The match-ups were rotated throughout the session but some I noticed were:
F: (Black) 25. Schulz 23. Jacko
B: (White) 5. Gas 22. Raines
HF: (Black) 13. Richo 22. Meyer 32. Krak
HB: (White) 12. Polak 23. Polo 35. White
HB: (Black) 34. Hughes
HF: (White) 44. Graham 37. Browny
B: (Black) 40. Moore 38. McGuane
F: (White) 19. Limbach 10. Kingsley
In the middle Foley (W41) was initially matched up against Tambling (B33), Lids (W3) vs Jake King (B18) and it looked like Petts (I think he was B11) up against Sugar (W19). Razor and Patto did the ruckwork. Later on Blingers moved forward with White on him and Tuck played FF against Rainesy. Howat moved onto Foley.
Some individual observations:
Foley - It's only December but Axel was on fire today. Running all over the place up and down the ground and wither winning the footy himself or running past teammates to receive the handball then bursting forward. Looks like he has bulked up more in the upper body too.
Lids - Tank. Nothing special today but solid and clean.
Polo, Paddy and Rainesy appear to have added size to their upper body as well.
Polak - Played back and was very good defensively. Was up against Richo and regularly was able to force a contest and get a fist to the ball to spoil. Rawlings was regularly praising "Polly" for his efforts. I would say pleasantly surprised although if he is to play CHB he would need to add perhaps more offense/rebound to his game.
Jacko - played at FF on Rainesy and did well timing his leads and marked cleanly. FF seems his best possie but he'll have limited chances to play there in an actual game.
Tivs - shame X is in Italy as he didn't make a mistake today lol. Did a ripper of a flat hard pass to the leading forward at the other end of the ground. Casserly showed his skill too with a similar effort.
White - was prominent when in the middle.
Meyer - Danny got a fair bit of the pill which was good to see. Solid.
Hughes - Played mainly at CHB which was interesting. He was mainly up the other end of the ground so I didn't get a good look at him today. Same goes for Razor, Patto, Graham and Tuck.
Kingsley - so-so. I wouldn't say based on today you would say draft him in the PSD.
The session finished with the main squad doing 200m runs (not sprints) from goal to goal in groups of three. The RFC trainer seemed happy with the times. 31-34 secs seemed to be the average time. Foley and Howat seemed to do it easy and cleared ahead of their respective group. Browny looked "knackered" lol.
I've taken photos so I'll post them when I get home tonight. Hopefully they turn out as most were of moving players. I took one of the four newbies (Edwards, Connors, Collins and Riewoldt) also.
I've forgotten a fair bit so fire away with any questions.

Just a few ;) pics from Wednesday training. First our new boys - Riewoldt (8 ), Connors (39), Edwards (35) and Collins (43).

Thanks for the pics again, one-eyed. :)
I gather from the first one that White won't be 35 any more and Howat won't be 43.
Howat and White wore their usual numbers too. Edwards and Collins wore the opposite strip to White and Howat respectively.
-
Thanks. There goes that theory out the window. ;D
Noticed a few others wearing unfamiliar numbers (Richo13, Rainesy 22, Gas 5). Maybe the spies think Trent Knobel has gained a couple of yards.

thanks for the pics guys

If Brown took a mark from that postition under the "rules" it should be a free kick to Jake King for over the shoulder :thumbsup ;D
Jake King for the RFC rookie list I say :cheers ;)

That's one of the trainees (#34) chasing a rookie spot. Not sure if it's Zac Hier(?).
Cass wore the #38 white guernsey yesterday and was solid to good. His foot skills are excellent :thumbsup.
-
So when is the next training session? :whistle
Friday at Victoria Park. Not sure if it starts 9 or 10am so best to ring the Club to confirm.
They train Monday, Wednesday and Friday each week. Wednesday's session goes for 3 hours.
-
Geez h Geez
foley is fucvking huge !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yep he's bulked up in the arms and torso and absolutely flying. You're meant to be a bit rusty at this time of year but Foles could play this weekend if a game was on.
-
Just got back from training at Vic Park. A long long session today in very smokey conditions :P.
Training went for about 3 and half hours - 10am to 1.30pm. From the time I arrived at around 10.40am they played two quarters of a full scale practice match on top of the usual training drills. Everyone was in attendance today.
In the rehab group was Hyde, Razor, JON and Petersen. Sadly Schulz will be joining them for the next 2-3 weeks after doing a hammy on a lead right in front of us in the first 5 minutes of the practice game.
Cogs and Thursty joined in the ballwork drills but stayed out of the practice match (obviously not to risk twisting and turning with their knees). They then joined Edwards in doing some 100m sprints. Connors and Collins also didn't join in with the main squad. Riewoldt and Clingan trained with the main group and played one quarter. Tas needed to fetch for the ice after he was done.
Newman was with the main squad today and got through the whole session and practice match which was great to see. He didn't get much of the ball but no surprise if he's rusty.
Today's drills were about run and carry. Moving the ball the length of the ground with 2 players in support. Very well done with the ball hardly toughing the ground in a clean display.
Then the squad split into Blacks and Whites for the practice match. Some of the match-ups were:
White forward line:
Riewoldt - Hughes (first qtr) Richo - Polak Pettifer - Paddy
Schulz - Moore Browny/Tuck/Tambling v King
Black forward line:
Jackson - Raines Kingsley - Joel Hughes - Gas (2nd qtr)
Midfield (lots of rotations today):
Graham - Pattison (Simmonds only rucked for the first 10 minutes or so)
Tambling - Clingan/Lids
Casserly - McGuane and Hartigan - Newman on opposing wings.
Foley - Johnson
Polo - Meyer
Browny - Krak
Howat had a few opponents.
Tuck and Petts also had runs switching between playing forward and midfield.
As I said the match-ups were constantly rotated.
Rough scores: (missed some goals and goalkickers at the Yarra Falls end)
Blacks: 4.2 6.3 (Goals: Simmo from 50m on the run, Meyer snap and Jacko. 2nd qtr Hughes got both)
Whites: 4.1 8.1 (Goals: Richo 2, Tambling 2, Browny, Pettifer, Tuck)
Best:
Tambling - on fire in the centre. Either won he's on footy or ran hard for a handball receive and created his open space. Kicked two goals as well working hard pushing forward.
Howat - was very good too in the middle. He got a round of applause at the end. Sounded as though he got the best today from the coaching staff.
Tucky - did some nice things today. A couple of top passes to Jacko and Richo on the lead.
Riewoldt for his first hitout I've seen was impressive. He backed up his reputation for being a good clean mark. He said to us that he's been pumping it in the gym and hopes to add a couple of more kilos by the start of the season. Also hopes he can get a game next year. As for the points system he's down near the bottom as all of the newbies are.
Schulz - as mentioned he did his hammy. The poor bloke seems to cop a injury just when he's starting to look good.
Polak and Richo finished fairly even as did Joel and Kingsley although Raines also spent time in Kingsley.
Gas - hope he doesn't throw out those boots as his kicking was probably the best we've ever seen.
Overall a good standard although it was a pretty open game with not many stoppages.
That's about it. Fire away any questions.
Nice to catch up with Wez and Axel from Y&B again and to meet Tambo. My camera was out of action so Wez kindly took one of Petersen for us. I'll also post the one of Tas Clingan from last week now that I know what he looks like.

Tas Clingan is the one on the left:

Forgot to mention some of the boys had a game of cricket prior to training. From memory Wez said Kingsley was bowling and he was so all over the shop that the rest of them started calling him Harmison ;D.

Back from training at smokey aired Vic Park :P. The session went for about 3 hours and everyone was present except for Gas who apparently has gastro.
The rehab group contained JON with a foam velcro brace around his right leg (shin splints), Hyde (groin), Cogs (knee), Thursfield (knee) and Schulz (hammy). Collins, Edwards and Petersen also trained with the rehab group doing handball and boxing drills and running laps. I was surprised to see Schulz do some running but he seemed fine so perhaps the hammy wasn't as bad as first thought. Hyde and always smiling Petersen just did jogging around the boundary. JON was the only rehab member to skip the running and left early.
Riewoldt and Connors did most of the training with the main group except for the pseudo practice match quarter where they trained with the rehab group as well. Jack wants to do all the main squad stuff but I think they are not trying to throw him in all at once.
Training began with the squad breaking into a few smaller groups. Tambo, Krak, Lids, Petts, Tucky, Jacko, Browny and Meyer did goalkicking practice which was mostly snapshots on the run and across the body. On the wing Richo, Graham and McGuane were doing kick to kick but without moving their planted foot. Basically off one step. They looked awkward to begin with but they soon got the hang of it. The rest did plain kick to kick in the centre of Vic Park.
The first drill was practising giving off quick short handballs in a tight space. The squad was split in two and groups of 3 vs 2 (blue singlets) would team their way from one group to the other and back again. Pretty well done with only two errant handballs I saw plus a handful of good wrap-up tackles by the guys in blue singlets. Clever nailed a couple of nice tackles in a row.
The second drill was end to end rebounding from one half-back line to the other and back again along the wings in a clockwise fashion around Vic Park. One team (blacks/whites) would attack with the blues defending then they would switch when going the other way. Rebounding out of defence along the wings forced the guys to practice running hard into space to receive the footy kicked out of defensive 50. They also worked on running hard to support in numbers so if a spilt from a marking contest, the supporting player swooped on the loose footy and kept the ball moving forward. Cleanly done by everyone with Tambo and White probably the stand outs for mine.
The third drill was an extension of the second. Starting from a midfield contest (either ball-up or thrown in) the blues would need to win the footy and kick long inside their 50 and then the blacks/whites would take a mark then rebound using the full width of the ground and try and kick to goal. After that the midfielders would have to sprint along the boundary back back to the wing. Lids, White, Krak and Polo (for his defensive efforts) received prasie from Terry. Plough did yell at them once - "What do you do when we have a big bloke chasing the footy?! - get around him". Mostly good although we sometimes lapsed into overcooking the passes. There were also a couple of times when the player with the footy, after taking a mark just outside attacking footy, would hold onto the ball just a tad too long so the pass to his leading teammate was marked in the pocket instead of within the "vee". Tivs was very good today as he has been in all training sessions I've seen so far but that was one thing Tivs erred on. Tivs, Blingers is too quick across the ground to hold up the pass that long ;).
The squad then took their half-time break and when they returned for a game simulation blacks/whites vs blues, Riewoldt and Connors joined the rehab/youngster group on the boundary for some boxing drills. The "game" only went for a quarter and it was mostly focussed on the blacks/whites attacking from what I saw but I could be wrong. Anyway the match-ups up forward where we were sitting were:
Krak - Polo Richo - Polak Meyer - Newy
Kingsley - Joel Hartigan - Raines.
Kingsley and Richo swapped CHF and FF positions halfway through as did Krak and Harts. Meyer and Newy played on a half-forward flank.
A couple of individual mentions who often get bad wraps:
Tivs: Running and carrying the ball forward more. A nice long goal from 50 which is something we haven't seen since much of 2001.
Krak: Worked hard today. He seemed to be making more of an effort to run hard to create an option for his teammate with the ball.
Tucky: More like his 2005 self.
Harts: Played forward pocket and felt right at home. Even n converging packs he kept his eye on the ball and took a couple of strong grabs under pressure. He was on Rainsey who copped a spray from Plough on one occasion for not gut running hard enough to get back on Harts. Plough brought up Riccuito from last year.
Now up to all four to perform well in the real stuff and not just at training.
In the 5th drill the squad was split up into about 5 smaller groups each doing a different task and then rotating. Each segment comprised on 1-on-1 wresting, keepings off, holding up hand-held weights for 5 minutes with outstretched arms, 1-on-1 receiving a handball then dishing off under pressure of a opponent and finally plain stretching. And that was it.
I took some photos so I'll post them up when I get home tonight.

I see Simmo's got his top off for Julz ;) :lol
-
JON's shin splints injury is a bit concerning. He's had it for a while and he's still hobbling about. Likewise Hyde who has a groin problem but someone I spoke to while watching training thinks he might have the dreaded OP :(. Let's hope not.
The rest of the boys on the comeback trail from injury are progressing well.

I see Simmo's got his top off for Julz ;) :lol
Woohoo :clapping :woohoo

The Tiges are apparently having a game of cricket (not sure where) and a run of the tan tomorrow before finishing up for the Christmas break.
Ch 10 news said Howat finished first in the tan run. Craig Mottram did the run with 'em too.

Mottram gave the boys a 2 1/2 minute start and still beat them easily. He then told them to be good boys over the Chrissy break fitness wise.

Tivs - shame X is in Italy as he didn't make a mistake today lol. Did a ripper of a flat hard pass to the leading forward at the other end of the ground.
hey MT, im back! just been reading a few threads, from what it sounds like we drafted some good kids and imho KK will be handy 4 us. it als sounds like we are the pre pre-season premiers, training the "house down"
but lets get serious, and not jump the gun, just cos tiv is tanned up and hitting targets at training does not mean much at all. the guy will struggle to get a game after rnd 6 next yr, he may hit targets at training but on a pressured game day, he cant hit a barn!
lets just take a breath and wait b4 we get excited abouts tives skilll level.
i just read about krak and his mean tuff bashing in WA. whats next, Tiv will be charged for ripping up a pitbull with his bare hands. hey if krak can all of a sudden be a tuff guy, why cant tiv get tuff too!
lol

Welcome back X. Yep never a dull moment at Tigerland :-\. After all the positive buzz with the new draftess and record membership at this stage I don't reckon the Club will be all too happy at the minute.

There not ! :(

I just got back from a scorching :P Punt Rd Oval. Training began at 9.30am and went for about an hour and a half.
Off the top of my head most of the squad was present although I'll have to recheck my photos as I don't recall Foley, Tucky or Meyer. The rehab group consisted of Cogs, Hyde, JON, Knobel and Petersen. Hartigan was also with them . Knobel and Cogs were doing kick to kick while Hyde, Petersen and JON did 100m and boundary runs. First time I've seen JON do some running this preseason so hopefully his shin splint problem is on the mend although he was still wearing that brace around his lower leg. Richo only joined in on the running. It was good to see Newy and Thursty do the whole session with the main squad.
Krak was there by the way and had a good session. No visible signs of any mental distraction that detracted from his training. Newy put his arm around him at one stage as they were coming back onto the ground after they had gone off to change from boots to runners but then again it was probably me noticing something that was nothing.
Given the cricket pitch in the middle of the ground there was no practice match. Just mainly foot passing drills whereby the squad would split in to four smaller groups and run, pass and mark to each other. I was chatting to another Tiger supporter so wasn't paying heavy attention but it looked clean and crisply done. The boys as did some short passing where you have have someone in the middle of two groups to simulate a short option. Once again cleanly done and lots of talk and enthusiasm which was good to see especially in the heat.
The session was finished with some pacey 200m runs. Basically 30 secs to run it then 30 secs rest. From memory there were 10-15 repetitions. The whole group did the first half dozen or so then about half pulled out (Polo, Krak, Blingers were in that group) and stretched while encouraging the remaining others. Jacko, Casserly and Tivs were in the front group so I noticed them the most. Jacko was the quickest. Did one run in 29secs and with Cass no too far behind they left poor Tivs in his wake. The very next run David King was pushing Cass and Cass finished level with Jacko. Most of the squad did the 200m in 30-31 secs each time. Terry gave Gas some praise when he lead his threesome.
That was about it. They all looked totally buggered by the end not surprisingly. Browny, Newy and Graham stayed on the ground to do some extra work. Browny practiced his marking on the lead with one of coaches putting on some minor pressure. He then joined the others for some reflex marking work.
Photos to come later tonight when I get home. Certain OER perverts lol would have enjoyed today.

Training today was at Gosh's Paddock (next to where the Storm use to train) and went for nearly 2 hours. The whole list was present with Hyde, JON, Cogs and Collins in the rehab group when I first arrived. They were later on joined by Petersen, Edwards, Connors, Thursty and Riewoldt (The latter two did most of the session with the main squad). The rehab group did mostly running with Hyde and Cogs doing agility and change of direction drills around hats towards the end. Chaffey had come down to watch and was talking to a trainer.
Gosh's Paddock has no cricket wicket so the boys did a few session of game based drills. In the first drill the squad was split into whites and red singlets with forward set-ups at each end while two rotating groups of midfielders would practice winning the ball from contests (ball-ups/ throws-ins) and delivering it to their respective forwards. Most impressive IMO were Meyer (exquisite foot skills) and Blingers (sheer pace). Both will slice open oppositions this year if they get enough of the footy. Interesting was seeing Simmo, Patto, Thursty and Schulz all playing in defence at once initially and they performed well. Under Tezza even the big blokes are expected to run and carry.
The next drill was setting up an a attack from half-back. Most of the squad all huddled on the far half-back flank while one forward set-up remained around the goals near us. Rawlings was the coach in charge of instructing and changing the forward set-ups telling guys to go high or stay close to the goalsquare. From the huddled group a handful against a few red singlets would work the footy to the forwards. Kingsley latched onto the first couple of pinpoint passes with Richo whether by plan or by accident being a decoy.
A couple of the forward set-ups were (from memory):
1) Richo-Polak, Kingsley-Gas, Schulz-McGuane, Browny-Moore, Petts-Raines. Initially the big guys were in the goal sqaure with the smalls 20m in front. Rawlings then pushed Richo out to the 50 on his own with the others back. This is the drill when Schulz did his hammy.
2) Patto-McGaune, Riewoldt-(I think it was Moore?) ,Petts-Raines with Joel loose man in defence. Petts and Raines were getting quite frisky with each other at times lol.
The final drill was just a non stop run and carry drill back and forth between half-back lines. It got a touch monotonous watching it and I think some of the boys were getting a bit tired by then as Rawlings told then to keep their talk up at a high level. The vast majority of it was clean both by hand and foot with good support from everybody. The only occasional stuff up occurred when someone tried to optimistically take a opponent on and got caught unable to break the tackle.
And that was it. About half the squad stayed behind as I left to do some extra work on goalkicking and passing (mostly the younger guys). Sorry no photos as I didn't have my camera today.
Some individual notes:
Newy - Did the whole session and when they had the game set-ups going he played in his usual possie across half-back. Got a bit of the footy too. I didn't notice as restrictions from his healed broken leg. Hopefully with some luck he'll have a better time of it then Browny did last year.
Gas - his field kicking was again surprisingly good over distance.
Rainesy - I though it was probably his best session this preseason. Seems now he's catching up to the others after the delay from the IR series.
Simmo - Injured ankle.
Riewoldt - fitting into our structure extremely well for a first year player. I can see why Miller said he sees him playing 12 senior games or so this year.
Graham - did alot of the ruckwork against Knobs.
Knobel - did the whole session.
Meyer - based on today he'll definitely be in our best 22. Initially started at FF in the first drill and took a couple of marks on the lead. Then moved into the middle for the ball-ups and first contest hit Browny leading on the chest.
Patto - I think some people will be surprised by his mobility this year. Rawlings praised him for using his head when he took a mark tight on the boundary line and then spotted Browny infield.
Tambo - just burns everyone else off. When he gets goal side of his opponent it's goodnight with the coaches getting all excited telling Blingers to kick the goal even when he's still 60-70m out because they know no one will catch him.
White - good again today. I'm still not use to the mop on his head after last year's shaved noggin. Confuse him with Jacko at times.
McGuane - did some nice defensive work today reading the play and picking off any errant passes.
-
thanks for the report MT good to get some indepth info :thumbsup
-
Sorry no photos as I didn't have my camera today.
That's just not good enough, shame on you, you've let the team down :P
Petts and Raines were getting quite frisky with each other at times lol.
Oh, if only I could trade places with Petts :pray

I forgot to mention that the surface at Gosh's paddock is excellent. Perfect for footy.

I only popped in for last minute look at Vic Park today on my way to work at about 10am as the squad was leaving. They started at 8.30am. A good idea to beat the main heat of the day but a bit too early for me to get to :P. I didn't see anyone hobbling or bandaged up as they were leaving so hopefully we got through today with no further injuries to anyone else :pray.
-
Training is at Vic Park at 10am tomorrow if anyone is interested in going.
-
Just got back from a wet Vic Park. Training went from 10am to about 12.30pm. Everyone was present including the injured Tigers. Simmo popped in for a quick hello on crutches with a leg cast up to just above his knee. In the rehab group were Schulz (hammy), Kingsley (hammy done Wed), Hyde (OP), JON (stress fracture foot/leg), Cogs (knee) and Petersen.
Tambo arrived late (we presumed he just got back from Darwin from visiting his sick grandmother). He didn't participate in the drills and did straight line running and kick to kick with the trainer instead. He then joined the main squad in the half-game scratch match and looked fine (in fact he was flying :thumbsup).
To start off the sqaud was split into 3 groups. The group at the Vic Falls end did foot passing to each other; the second group on the wing practiced contest work around throw-ins; the third group near us at the Sherrin stand end were practising their speccies over a teammate wearing a big padded bag. Richo, Browny, Krak, Pettifer, Hartigan, White, Meyer and Patto were in the final. Best speccie went to White standing upright on the bag. Worst went to one by Petts when he mistimed his leap and ran into the bag :lol. He obviously saves his best ones for the real stuff.
Next drill was a criss cross handball one at pace with everyone in small groups around the edge of a circle and running from one group to another. Very well done. High intensity, good loud talk and very clean. I'd reckon I only saw only error in the whole time they were doing the drill.
Next up was a foot passing drill. The squad split up into 8 groups, 4 on either side of the centre square (25-30m apart) and a player from each group running, marking then passing across the square. Each side then moved back say 10m to practice their longer kicks (over 40m). More errant passes crept in in the longer distance kicks (I counted about 5 miskicks) but overall it was relatively clean.
Training then finished off with a two quarter scratch match between yellow and white tops with the second quarter played in the rain. The yellow team won comfortably with the likes of White, Tambo and Lids being the stand-outs through the midfield. The yellows seemed younger and faster. Others who impressed were Moore, Krak, Jacko and Riewoldt.
Scores:
Yellow 3.2 5.2-32 (Goals: Jackson 1.1, Riewoldt 1, Tivs 1, Moore 1, Tambo 1, Sugar 0.1
White 0.2 0.3-3 (Goals: Nil... behinds: Polo, Browny? and one I think was rushed at the Vic Falls end)
The game began with 2 points from Polo and Sugar and a out of bounds on the full from Tivs. Wallace wasn't amused and stopped the scratch match and made the whole squad do a 400m as punishment. Nothing like some old fashion training method lol. Thankfully for the boys the goals came after that with Riewoldt nabbing first after a ripper of a strong pack mark. The boy is good :thumbsup. Later on even Razor got in on the act with a top mark floating back and across an opponent.
Match-ups:
Yellow FB: Gas Moore
White FF: Hughes Browny
Yellow CHB: Joel Polak Raines Connors
White CHF: Knobel Richo Meyer Pettifer
Midfield: Graham - Knobel, Tivs v Foley, White v Tuck, Tambling v Edwards/King, Hartigan v Casserly
Yellow CHF: Krak Patto
White CHB: King McGuane
Yellow FF: Jackson Riewoldt
White FB: Thursfield Newman
Others:
Yellow: Lids, Paddy, Razor
White: Polo, Howat, Clingan
The session finished off with goalkicking practice. Set shots, shots on the run directly in front from 50m and then pings from the boundary with David King joining in with a rugby place kick. Lids nailed most of his with his usual aftergoal celebration.
I'll post photos either later tonight or tomorrow when I get time.
-
Forgot to add that in Simmo's absence the ruckwork was shared between Gus, Knobel, Patto and Razor.
-
Thanks MT.
How's Cleve Hughes coming along?
-
How's Cleve Hughes coming along?
I can't say he's been prominent in any of the scratch matches so far but he has been training well and he's bulked up a bit from last year which is pleasing. He's spent a lot of his time in defence this preseason although today he stood at FF for the Whites. Not sure if that means he'll be tried as a defender this year or it's just part of his footy education to learn by playing on other forwards. IMO Clever will still spend most of this year with Coburg with probably a handful of Richmond appearances depending on how many injuries we have.
-
Good report MT!
You forgot to mention the speckie that Reiwodlt took, this boy will be a player no doubt about it.
Yes MT that was me you were talking to today, I'm sure we will catch up soon!

Petersen has O.P. apparently Steph. He's had it all summer and will head into the year without a preseason behind him.
-
Oh ok :-\ Must of missed hearing about that :P
Geez Angus Graham is a bit of a runt :lol
-
Good report MT!
You forgot to mention the speckie that Reiwodlt took, this boy will be a player no doubt about it.
Yes MT that was me you were talking to today, I'm sure we will catch up soon!
Small world crackertiger :D. I'll probably bump into you at training again in the upcoming weeks.
I had some doubts before we drafted Riewoldt but yep since watching Jack this preseason I've definitely jumped on his bandwagon. I mentioned briefly the grab he did today ;):
"... Riewoldt nabbing (the) first (goal) after a ripper of a strong pack mark. The boy is good :thumbsup"
-
Thanks for the pix. :)
Meyer still looks very slight, although may have bulked out a little bit.
Foley, Tambling, Deledio, Jackson & Hughes are the guys who have most noticably put on mass since last year.
Polak looks considerably fitter too since he arrived which is good.
-
The game began with 2 points from Polo and Sugar and a out of bounds on the full from Tivs. Wallace wasn't amused and stopped the scratch match and made the whole squad do a 400m as punishment. Nothing like some old fashion training method lol.
good ole tiva :lol providing some motivational team building

One of those gettyimages pics shows off the veins popping out of Foles massive arms :o. I would add Matty White to your list as well Magic :thumbsup. Another one to look out for as a big improver this year.

Great Pics MT :thumbsup

Good friends of mine just rang me up before as they are in Melbourne and were at the MCG and saw Richo and Browny (sans shirts I believe) and rang me up to rub it in. The whole irony is that they are Essendon supporters :lol

Training today was at Gosch's Paddock from about 3pm to 4.40pm. Everyone was present except Simmo of course.
Pattison is another tall who has joined the rehab group :(. I don't know what's wrong but he was doing laps with Schulz and Kingsley and as well as kick to kick with Sarge so I'm hoping it's not too bad whatever it is. JON and Petersen didn't do any running at all. Just reflex drills on the spot with a trainer. Hyde, Cogs and Collins did the first few drills then disappeared to the old Melbourne Storm training oval next door with a trainer for some running footpasses while the scratch match was on. Only Cogs returned for the final drill.
The main squad after warming up got into the drills. For the first drill the boys lined up in a row split into blacks and whites across the HF line facing the goal. Then groups of 5 with 2 wearing singlets would handball their way towards a assistant coach then on the way back the 3 guernsey players would have to run and handball their way back while the 2 singletted players dried to stopped them. David King kept emphasizing throughout the drill the need to keep the intensity and pace up. The blacks were closest to me so I kept an eye mostly on them. Lids, Meyer, White and McGuane were the most impressive in their decision making and execution. Overall pretty well done.
Next up was a kicking undr pressure drill. The blacks and whites were split up again and each group broke in to four smaller groups occupying the corners of small square (about 20x20m) with two players in the middle. The players in the middle had to put pressure on and tackle the kicker who could foot pass to any other corner. Each time a player made an error he would swap with the guy in the middle who put him under pressure. Poor Jake King was stuck in the middle for ages and was buggered by the time he finally got out. Wayne Johnson walked over to him and said "It's sh*t in there isn't it" lol. Most impressive were Riewoldt both with passing for a biggish guy and his effort in the middle which included a full on smother and Meyer of course with his silky skills. Polak and Gas who aren't known for their foot skills both didn't end up in the middle. I hope Plough uses that drill again as it's good to watch.
The third drill was just a straightforward mark and foot pass one over 40m between lines of two groups. Cleanly done.
Next up was a two 15min quarter scratch match. Cogs, Hyde and Collins as mentioned above left to go over to the oval next door with one of the trainers.
Scores:
Whites 1.1 6.3
Blacks 3.3 3.3
Whites:
Goals: Richo 3, Jacko, Foley, Tuck
Bhds: Krak, Browny, rushed.
Blacks:
Goals: McGuane 2, Howat
Bhds: Riewoldt, McGuane, Meyer
Matchs-ups:
Black B: Polak Gas/Polak Raines
White F: Tuck Richo Pettifer/Browny
Black HB: Newman Gas Polak King
White HF: Pettifer Razor Jackson Krakouer
Black mid: Paddy Howat Lids Polo Cass White
White mid: Sugar Foley Tuck Tivs Tambo Sugar/Connors/Tambo
There were heaps of rotations while Cass and King changed sides at half-time.
Black HF: Hartigan Riewoldt Meyer
White HB: Moore Hughes Connors/Clingan
Black F: McGuane
White B: Thursty
Black Foll: Graham/Polak
White Foll: Knobel/Razor
It was game of two halves (or quarters to be precise). The Blacks were dominant in the first quarter through midfield efforts of Howat (had the ball on a string), White, Lids and with Joel sweeping up across half-back and Riewoldt and McGuane presenting well up forward. A few positional changes at the break saw a complete turnaround in the game. Petts moved behind the ball collecting most of his possies behind centre. Browny played further up the ground and kicked backside. Seriously he must have had the ball 10 times in the space of 10 minutes. Richo worked his butt off running everywhere. Waited and waited to lead to the HFF then got the pass. After dishing off with a sidewats kick to Browny he then sprinted to the opposite FP and took mark. To Polak's credit he kept up with the big fella. Sugar and Foley started to get a bit of it in the middle. Knobel got a lovely forward tap to Krak (who also moved into the centre) at the centrebounce who hit Browny on chest IIRC. Another who I'm pleased with is Moore. He's had a pretty good preseason so far in defensive roles on our midsized forwards.
Overall a fairly Richmond standard. The very good mixed in with a few turnovers which Plough would discuss with the offending player. The intensity was good for January.
After the scratch match. Newy, Thursty and the young draftees headed off. The remaining squad worked on rebounding from the defence to the forwards in a game scenario of guernseys vs red singlets. The midfield group was split into two and alternated.
Midfield group #1: Lids, Krak, Foley, Tambo, Tuck, Meyer, Howat, Graham and Tivs.
Midfield group #2: Sugar, Razor, Gas, Joel, Cogs, Polo, White, Jacko, Hughes and McGuane.
Forward group: Petts v Cass, Richo v Polak, Browny v Moore, Hartigan v King,
Harts spent most of the session in game based play up forward either in a pocket or a flank.
The first two "attacks" didn't get past the HB line :-\. Petts nailed Gas in tackle who was left isolated and the second one was a knocked down handpass. The standard was pretty average to begin with with passes to the leading forward landing a metre in front of them but it improved markedly as it was repeated. By the end the execution was pretty good. Still Richo is the big man to go to. Browny and Petts the smalls.
And that was it with only some goalkicking practice to finish off as they warmed down.
I'll post the photos I have later tonight.

Forgot to add the highlight of the day was Richo nailing a along the ground goal a la Daicos in the scratch match from the forward pocket :thumbsup.

excellent report MT :thumbsup

Not a prob DC and thanks :cheers
Gosch's paddock is a great place to watch Monday training as you're close to the action. The ground surface is in superb nick too.
The next training session is on Wednesday 10am at Vic Park if anyone is interested is popping down to watch.

Good photos too, one-eyed. :)

Sorry MT but can you explain for us ex-pat Vics or interstaters, o/s what actually is Gosch's paddock and where it actually is?

Gosch's Paddock is on the corner of Punt Road & Swan St in Richmond. It is the first oval in the precinct along Swan st as you head towards Olympic park.
Have no idea why it's call Gosch's Paddock ;D
If you come out of Punt Road Oval, turn right and head along Punt Road under the rail line to the next set of lights (Swan St) you're there :thumbsup One would think they players would run/jog there :clapping

The government shouldnt be wasting taxpayers dollars on that stuff. I would have thought $200 million could build a few schools and put more nurses and doctors into the health system to cut down waiting lists. Its a disgrace. The government could just go down to Albert Park and pump $20 million into Bob Jane Stadium and make it a Hindmarsh replica and save the taxpayers a bundle...Its a joke, a and a disgrace.

Gosch's Paddock used to be a tip (which could explain why the gov't wants Collingwood there).

Bob Jane stadium wouldn't be the home of South Melbourne Hellas be any chance Ramps :D.
Seriously unless they increase the capacity to 30,000 then as WP said it'll only be used by the Storm which defeats the purpose it was meant to be built for which was a multi-purpose stadium for soccer, rugby and rugby league.

Ta Magic.
The real stuff will test Browny's body out properly when he needs to recover on a weekly basis but going by his second quarter yesterday when he had the ball on a string and the preseason training he has done so far he is definitely getting back to near his best IMO. He looks in top physical condition, he's moving freely dodging and weaving, and he's doing a full week's training with the main squad unlike last year when he could only train once a week. He also doesn't have the rod in his leg anymore which helps. There's nothing to say that he won't be back starring again shifting between forward and midfield roles.
Newy is joining in for most of the drills with the main squad. Probably doing about 85% of each session on average. Yesterday he did the first 3 drills and played in the scratch match. He only missed the last drill and that's probably only due to the Club being cautious with his recovery as he played fairly well in his usual HBF rebounding role. Although he's well ahead of where Browny was this time last year and he may play quite of bit of senior footy, I'm not expecting too much from Newy this year just because he's had a modified preseason. Look out 2008 for mine. Once again we won't know how Newy will really go until the real stuff starts but it's just great to see him out there again.

These almost forgotten heroes will be like a couple of new recruits in 07.
However ironically it's these guys missing that exposed plenty of our juniors to senior footy last year which as we know many thrived on.
There seems far more depth at the Tigers leading into this season than I can remember for many years. There is plenty of pressure on all players to perform including the seniors. 8)

Say that again Magic :thumbsup. It's tough to come up with an obvious 22 now.
-
The is the second half of today's training report as my computer crashed while typing the first bit :scream. I'll post the first half later.
--------------------------------
Next up was three 15min quarters scratch match. The standard skill-wise was much higher than the average one on Monday which was good to see. Good intensity, pressure and tackling too. No new injuries to report which is the main thing.
Plough tried some guys in positions you wouldn't expect them to play for the whole game.
Lids played in defence on a HBF or as a sweeper/loose man for the Yellows; Swapped with Polo and Joel in those roles.
Connors was used for a while in a similar role at the other end for the Whites.
Tuck played FF;
Riewoldt played FB/CHB on Richo in a tough lesson. Got the run around up to half-time trying to keep up with Richo but in the third quarter got the footy a couple of times and rebounded well.
Clever played in defence (played for both teams) yet was able to push forward and kick 2.1 goals. The line "who's on Clever" was yelled out after his second. Was more productive once he switched to the whites.
It looked like Thursty was tried for a while at FF.
Raines and Browny spent most of the time in the middle. Rainesy had a blinder in the 2nd and 3rd quarters. Only blemish was his goalkicking (1 goal, 2 behinds and 1 OOTF). Browny was solid but not as influential as on Monday.
McGuane once again played forward and showed he has improved. Kicked 2 goals in the first quarter.
Moore looks like he has put his hand up for the third tall defender role this year taking over from Chubba. Once again a solid game from him.
Howat was put on a HFF in the third quarter.
Bests
Yellows: Foley (no wonder he's leading the NAB top 15 thingy), Richo, Moore, Polo, Sugar, Lids.
Whites: White, Rainesy, Petts, Paddy, Hughes (after quarter time).
The yellows seemed to have more possession yet they held it up and chipped more. The whites had far more scoring attempts but were off-target.
Scores
Yellows: 2.0 7.1 9.1-55
Whites: 3.2 5.4 7.9-51
Scorers
Yellows:
Goals: Richo 3 (one wasn't a goal as he was 1m across the goalline lol but it was given despite the protests lol), Polo, Foley, Hartigan, Moore, Lids, Jacko. Hughes 0.1
Whites:
Goals: McGuane 2, Hughes 2, Pettifer, Krak 1.2, Raines 1.2 (plus one OOTF). Howat 0.1, White 0.1, Tivs 0.1, Edwards 0.1. Rushed 0.1
Match-ups:
Once again heaps of rotations today across every line; not just the midfield so I didn't get a lot of them but here are some:
White B: King Thursty Hughes
Yellow F: Browny Hughes (as a yellow)/Jacko Jacko
White HB: Clingan Riewoldt Connors - loose man
Yellow HF: Harts Richo
White Mid: Tivs Raines/White King Howat Krak White Paddy/Cass
Yellow Mid: Polo/Meyer Browny Tambo Foley Meyer Sugar Razor
White HF: Pettifer White/Rainesy Krak/Howat
Yellow HB: Newman Lids Moore
White F: McGuane Tuck
Yellow B: Polak/Hughes Gas/Polak
White Foll: Graham
Yellow Foll: Knobel/Patto
After the scratch match, the draftees went off and Knobel, Browny, Patto, Razor and Newy broke away from the main squad to do reflex marking exercises. The rest of the squad completed the final drill which was the same one as Monday where two groups on midfielders in guernseys vs singlets would rebound from defence to the group of forwards/defenders waiting at the other end.
Mid group #1: Graham, McGuane, Polo, White, Raines, King, Jacko.
Mid group #2: Krak, Tambo, Foley, Paddy, Tivs, Howat, Meyer, Hughes.
Forward group: Petts v Moore, Richo v Gas, Tuck v Lids, Harts V Joel. Polak would rotate the loose man role with Joel and Lids.
Overall very well done. One of their best drill sessions. Field foot and hand passing and running to receive was very crisp clean. Only blemish was the goalkicking towards the end. For every miss the forwards as a group had to go for a run to the wing and back. One of the assistant shouted out "if the goal is kicked we finish up". Jacko had the ball and missed completely lol. Then Pettifer kicked a point followed by Richo who brought up his 5th loud "F---!" for the day. Thankfully Clever ran through the midfield and dobbed one from 50 directly in front on the run to put everyone out of their misery.
And that was it. The warmed down and finished with some goalkicking practice. I'll post some photos later tonight.

Training today was at Vic Park from 10am to about 1pm. Initally it wa breezy and it was spitting but it finally cleared to a lovely sunny day. The only absentees were Simmo, Sarge, Kingsley, Hyde and Cogs. In the rehab group were just JON and Petersen. Both again didn't do any running and just did reflex and handballs drills between themselves as well as push-ups. Patto was back doing the main session which was good to see.
Training began with the squad split into 3 groups with two at either end of the ground working on their leads while the midfielders worked on throw-in and ball-up contests. Lids always stands out when he grabs the foooty and accelerates out of the pack into space :thumbsup. The group down at our end containing Richo, Browny, Harts, Meyer, Jacko, White and Krak, worked with Jade Rawlings on forward set-ups and freeing up teammate into space inside 50 which most of the time was White. They also again tried practising their speccies but the incoming kicks were most of the time off-target from the bag so only Richo got a decent grab. Meyer had the best leap and hangtime but he and ball were nowhere near each other :p.
The next drill was a standard full ground length rebounding drill going back and forth between ends. Half-wa
y through the groups at either end would swap by sprinting to the opposite end of the ground. In the sprint
towards the Sherrin stand end Newy came first :thumbsup followed by Tivs. On the whole cleanly done. I only
saw a couple of stuff-ups (two handballs fumbled because they went behind the receiving player plus one pass
to Richo that landed a metre in front. That brought out the first "F---!" for the day). Foley, White, Lids
and Meyer were the standouts.
I forgot to add before that during the scratch match, someone broke the team rules by, as an attacker, standing inside 50. Browny and Richo were yelling out get out there and after the play had stopped Browny went ape - "what the eff are you doing in there if you're not doing anything. Get the eff out of there".
-
Yellows: Foley (no wonder he's leading the NAB top 15 thingy), Richo, Moore, Polo, Sugar, Lids.
according to jade rawlings, howat is on top now. he said on sen on sunday that howat was on top and snuck past foley, 3rd is lids and 4th tambo.
but foley may have snuck back on top after this effort :thumbsup

Actually another pleasing aspect of this pic is Danny Meyer. Though still slight, he's finally starting to get some muscle on those bones. 8)
-
Danny needs to improve his endurance further IMO. He'll be most useful to us with his silky skills behind the footy across half-back or in the midfield hitting teammates further up the field laces-out. But to play those positions you need top be able to run all day. So far he's been stuck in deadman's corner on a HFF or at Coburg playing as a CHF ???.

Training today was at Gosch's Paddock. I got there about 3pm and they were already into a drill. It finished up around 4.30pm.
The only absentees were Simmo and Thursty. In the rehab group were Schulz, Richo, JON and Petersen. Kingsley, Hyde and Cogs joined the main squad for the drill they were doing when I arrived but then left once the scratch match started. Knobel had his ankle looked at and restrapped. He then rejoined training. Clever had some stretching treatment on his thigh/hip/groin region at the end.
The first drill was a combined rebound from defence / enter forward 50 one. The sqaud was split into 4 with a group at either end of the oval and then two groups on the wing. Each group at the ends would lead, mark the incoming pass then run and kick long to the other where the process was repeated. The players on the wing would start from a mark situation in the centre of the ground with a coach on the mark and pass to the leading player. There were a couple of stray kicks but overall mostly done well.
Next up was a scratch match between Yellow and White shirts. They played two quarters and then what looked like a golden goal as each side had kicked 5 goals each. After the second quarter the teams huddled then lined-up again. When Tambo slotted a goal they ended the game.
A pretty scrappy affair to be honest with a number of turnovers under pressure. The pressure and intensity as Wallace mentioned in his interview was good. Tackles stuck and there were a number of smothers. It seems a number of the guys tried to do too much . They were a bit too unselfish trying for that extra handball or delaying their possession when a first option would have been the best.
Anyway there were a few postives.
Polo was very good again in the clearances.
Krak was lively and in one of his on-song days. Got plenty of the pill and used it well.
Jacko was probably the best forward on the day although he failed to make the most of his scoring chances kicking 2.3.
McGuane chipped in again with a couple of early goals playing at FF.
Casserly's passing over Hb was very good.
I thought it was Clingan's best effort so far this year. Got a reasonable amount of the footy.
The usual standouts - Lids, Foley, White, Paddy and Sugar had good solid games.
Scores:
Whites: 3.3 5.6 6.6
Yellows: 2.3 5.5 6.5
Scorers:
Whites:
Goals: Jacko 2, McGaune 2, Lids, Tambo
Behinds: Jacko 3, Knobel, Meyer, rushed.
Yellows:
Goals: Hartigan (intercept gift from your boy Moi lol), Krak, Browny, Graham, Paddy.
Behinds: Browny 2, Foley 2, rushed.
Some Match-ups:
Yellow B: Hughes King
White F: McGuane Jacko
Yellow HB: Casserly Connors
White HF: Collins Edwards
Yellow mid: Joel Tuck Foley Polo Paddy Hall/Clingan Clingan/Krak
White mid: Howat Sugar White Lids Tivs Meyer Tambo
Yellow HF: Patto/Graham Harts/Krak Harts
White HB: Polak Rainesy Newy
Yellow F: Riewoldt Browny
White B: Gas Moore/Newy
After the scratch match they finished up with another drill. The squad was split into about 4 groups of guernseys vs red singlets. One of the groups would act as forwards containing Krak vs Rainesy, Browny vs Moore and Patto (I've forgotten for the moment who was his minder). The other groups would take turns initially maintaining possession via handball within a square at the far end of the oval until the whistle blew and they would then breakout and rebound to the waiting forwards. The skills level in this drill was a marked improvement on the scratch match. In fact it was excellent. Krak had the ball on the string with his leading. Lids and Sugar received praise for their defensive blocks and smothers.
And that was it. About half the squad left while Krak, Tambo, King, Mcguane, Tivs, Howat and a few others practiced their goalkicking. Graham and White worked on ruck-taps to a rover with Royal.
Photos to come later tonight.

Just got back from training at a sunny Vic Park. A good day to be relaxing in the sun watching some footy. Training was meant to start at 10am but Terry and the coaches had the squad in a conference for ages going through presumably set-ups for the drills and team structure. I got there at about 10.30 and they didn't start training until 11. Today they did heaps of work on their set-ups around stoppages(ball-ups and throw-ins).
The rehab group contained JON, Petersen, Casserly, Razor, Richo, Schulz, Kingsley and Cogs. Hyde did just over about half the session with the main squad then joined rehab. I don't recall Thursty being there and Simmo popped down to watch for a little while.
For the first drill, the squad split up into groups of six spread around the ground. Each ground practiced ball-up and throw-in structures with the senior player within each group as instructor and the tallest bloke the ruckman tapping to the smalls. The closest two groups near us were Joel's and Gas' with Graham and Clever doing the tapwork respectively. With Joel's group they worked on defensive aspects.
The second drill was a foot passing one from one end of the ground to a short option in the middle who in turn passed it to someone at the opposite end and then repeated. The drill wasn't done at any frenetic pace but it was clean done by everybody with only one noticable errant kick from what I saw.
Next up was more work around stoppages with the squad split into 4 groups of yellows vs whites with two on each wing and the others 20-30m out from goal at either end. Not only did they work on ruck taps to rovers from ball-ups and throw-ins but also encouraged a third man to come in and punch the ball into space for a teammate to run onto. Riewoldt showed his footy smarts by timing his punch perfectly to Moore in space who then drilled a goal :clapping. Good intensity and talk from the boys in this drill and fairly physically. Polak and Patto had a good duel going in their fairly even ruck contests. Tambo as he was going to ground snatched the ball away from Petts just a Kayne thought he had it in his hands (a loud "eff" could be heard lol) then had the composure and awareness to dish off a long handball to a teammate in space on the outside of the pack :clapping. Others who did well with the clearances were Tuck, Foley and White. Lids played as a defender in this drill.
After that drill had been completed a search began for Clever's mouthguard. I presumed they found it as he later played in the short scratch match. As the next drill started Hyde joined the rehab ground. Midway through it Collins came off with a knock to the knee which needed a ice pack.
The next drill was an extension to the previous one. The idea being to use the knowledge they gained in a more game like situation. From a stoppage on the wing, each side (yellows vs whites) competed to get the footy down to their 3 forwards. The forward line for the yellows down our end were Petts vs Joel, Riewoldy vs Polak and White vs King. This drill was very well done IMO. Highly skilled and with good intensity. Of the newbies Edwards received praise for a pinpoint pass to Riewoldt while Jack himself showed what good hands he has on the lead under pressure. Of the regulars Tucky had one of his best training sessions. All this stoppage work was right up his alley. Browny although just another solid session from him is showing he's ready to fire.
To finish off about half the squad joined the rehab group (Mostly the newbies and older guys - Joel, Sugar, Tuck, Knobel, Gas, Browny plus Moore) to stretch and warm down while the remaining guys had a quick two 5 minute quarter 10 vs 10 scratch match. It was a shame it was only short as having fewer players on the park made for a quick attacking game with hardly any stoppages. Lids almost repeated his goal he kicked against Adelaide this year when he collected the game from the tap, put on the afterburners and ran and bounced his way to 50. Sadly he missed (he kicked the ball straight but his body (and hence leg) was facing the right behind area so it sailed in for a point. Lids spent the first quarter at FF then moved into the centre for the second. Tambo also enjoyed the extra space running hard all over the ground while Petts continuedly provided good leads. Polo was best in the clearances overall followed by Foley.
Match-ups (Yellows vs Whites).
Yellow F: Petts Jacko Harts
White B: Newy Clever White
Yellow mid: Patto Tambo Foley Polo
White mid: Graham Krak Tivs Howat
Yellow B: McGuane Raines King
White F: Polak Lids Meyer
Scores
Yellows 3.2 (G: Petts, Jack, Tambo)
Whites 0.2 (B: Lids, Meyer)
And that was it. For the OER Ladies, Richo and Cogs were showing off their beach muscles at the end. What a shame my camera battery had ran out by then :outtahere.
I'll post what photos I have later tonight.

Fantastic reports everyone, thanks ver much. Sounds like the boys are pretty fit.

Superb reports and pics gentlement. :bow :gotigers

For those interested, training starts at 10am tomorrow (Friday) at Victoria Park.
-
Fantastic pics MT, as well as the reports.
I have my doubts on Danny Meyer, I believe he is being very pedestrian and may in fact be looking for a ticket back to one of the SA clubs.
-
Youd want an equivalent pick to what we paid. A top 12 pick but fundamentally Im against trading him.

Training today was at a hot and increasingly dusty Vic Park. It was meant to start at 10am but I didn't get there until 11 and only saw the last hour. Cogs, Hyde and all the newbies did the whole session from what I saw. Richo still stayed on the sidelines helping out as a marking target in the drills, doing kick to kick and 1-on-1 marking contests at the end of training. Also in rehab were JON, Schulz and Thursty. Cleve was also doing some running away from the main squad. I didn't see Kingsley, Gas or Petersen there but they may have left early.
No scratch match today. Only drills.
The first drill was the same as one they did on Wednesday with the squad split into 4 groups of yellows vs whites with two on each wing and the others 20-30m out from goal at either end. Each group worked on stoppages - mainly ball-ups today. Good intensity and tackling and overall fairly highly skilled. Vic Park needs some water as when White hit the turf in a tackle a cloud of dust rose around him. No real standouts although the highlight was a quick snap for goal by Collins who got the ball to his feet quickly under pressure.
For the second drill they worked on running and carrying the ball and goalkicking on the run. Once again the squad was split into 4 groups in a diamond shape (one at each end and on each wing). The objective was to move the ball around the ground in groups of threes, first anticlockwise and then clockwise, with the final player shooting from about 30-40m on the run. If there were two misses in a row then everyone had to do a lap which was then reduced to half a lap. The first couple of goes were scrappy and results in misses so off they went on their lap. After a few hands on heads they started up the drill again. A mixture of goals and points followed so off they went again on half a lap. Howat and Cogs finished well in front of their respective groups while Foley, White, Lids, Tambo and Sugar finished close to one another in the remaining groups. Hydey was left behind in most runs but he may have been told to only jog.
After those runs and the boys looking fairly stuffed, they clicked into gear with the movement of footy from one group to three to the other and at one stage they kicked about 10 or 11 goals straight. After one miss and David King yelling out you've got to get this one or around you go again, the boys slotted another 6 or 7 in a row followed by around 8 in a row. By the end of the drill they were going at around 80-90% rate of conversion which was pleasing to see and didn't have to doing anymore half-laps which the boys yelled out in joy. Nothing like fear to motivate lol. Krak, Meyer, Tivs :o, Sugar, Lids and Edwards didn't miss from what I saw.
And that was it. Half the squad warmed down with stretching and left while the others stayed for more goalkicking practice both set shots and one the run starting from the centre of the ground. Lids, Browny and Riewoldt (yep the shy ones lol) were taking pot shots from the boundary. Jack also was practising turning off one step around his body about 25m out on a more open angle. All went through :o :thumbsup.
Photos to come later tonight or tomorrow.

Edwards is one we'll have to wait a couple of years on but appears to have already the polish and brains to make it. Just a natural clean finisher.

Great reports guys, can't wait for the report from today (Saturday) and the NAB 25 update.
-
The Tiges will be down Phillip Island way this week for their community camp with a full-scale intra-club match on Wednesday in Wonthaggi.
-
Just got back from a hot :P Vic Park. An unusual training session today with half the list training first for approximately 50mins followed by the remaining half. In all the session went from 1.45pm to about 3.15pm. No scratch match; just footpassing and goalkicking drills. Obviously a lighter session given the full-scale intra-club game on Friday.
JON was the only one to do the whole 1.5 hours session with both groups. Presumably unlike the others he needs to get work into his legs after missing most of the preseason with his stress fracture. No sign of any lingering problems with that which was good to see. He trained very well too.
There was no rehab group as such although Thursty ran a few laps on his own after his training group had finished. Absent today were Simmo, Cogs, Razor, Petersen and White.
In the first training group were Newy, Gas, Lids, Polak, Browny, Riewoldt, Edwards, Knobel, Petts, Tucky, Meyer, Schulz, Patto, JON, Hyde, Tivs, Thursty, McGuane, Foley, Howat and Clingan. After their warm-up, they split into two groups, one on each HB line, and passed the footy to a player in the middle who in turn would pass it to the other group. This was repeated back and forth. Rawlings then told them to step back a further 20m and repeat the drill. Good talk from all involved and the drill overall was done okay. I was watching JON mainly as this was the first time I've seen him train with the main squad and he was very crisp with his disposal.
They then added handball in the next drill to simulate run and carry and working in 2's and 3's. A few sloppy handballs that went behind players as they were running past but the drill improved as it went along. Afterwards I overheard Tucky and Riewoldt discussing the comedy of errors in one instance.
The final drill for this half of the list was a full length of the ground rebound. Basically circle work around each wing with a straighening up pass into the centre corridor. The execution was significantly better than the previous two drills so this group finished off strongly. They warmed down with some goalkicking practice and some slips and high ball catching with a tennis ball and racket. They game of choice for everyone today lol. Tambo could have made a great slipper going by his quick hands. Like plucking apples off a tree for him.
The rest of the list - Raines, Joel, Richo, Polo, Paddy, Sugar, Kingsley, Jacko, Krak, JON, Tambo, Harts, Hughes, Casserly, Connors, Moore, Collins, Graham and King - then came onto the ground and started their training. Richo and Harts had been watching the first group in the grandstand. Wallace joked to Richo that at his age sitting in the stands doesn't look out of place lol.
For the second group's first drill they did some in close handball work followed by the same second and third drills as what the first group did. Richo, Kingsley, Schulz and Jacko acted as forward targets in the third drill. The second group's skill level was pretty much faultless from what I saw. From memory the ball only hit the ground once or twice in 50 mins of training. They finished off with a half-ground circle work drill with Rawlings blowing a whistle and the player ending up with the ball had to take a running shot on goal. The only one to miss his shot was Tambo (kick through the ball and you won't hook them to the left Richie). Joel had a long set shot to finish the session and nailed it. They then also finished off with some goalkicking practice and slips and high ball catching with a tennis ball.
Terry, Sugar and Tambo did a short video after training for some Tiger supporter overseas celebrating his bucks night.
Photos to come later to tonight.

Lol. Can't blame him really. :o
Thanks for the reports and pics. :)

good job guys ...
pictures are great ...
to me Brett looks like he has put some muscle on ...
want to know how Meyer, Jackson, Hartigan, Moore, Hall and Tivendale are going ...
i guess tivendale is going good since he is in the top 10 for the NAB ... but i am not a key fan of his but i just hope he has a good finish
from now to the end of his career ... i see he on a wing ... thats all!

from now to the end of his career ... i see he on a wing ... thats all!
At this late stage of his career we won't see any major change to the Tivs we've known once the real stuff starts but for all the criticism he cops he is one of our the hardest trainers and his body stands up to it. His preseason has been faultless. Our future will be bright if our youngsters with far more natural footy talent than Tivs follow his lead on the training track.
Hartigan started behind the others given he was coming back from a broken foot he copped last year. He was in the rehab group prior to Christmas but has joined the main squad since. In the scratch matches so far he has been moved forward to a FP or HFF position. He looks to have regained that run and dash he had prior to his hammy problems. He'd be on his last chance you'd think as this is his 4th year in the system so he needs to a big year.
Jacko has played mainly as a FF/FP over the preseason. You can't fault his endeavour especially this summer but where do we play him? He'd be vying for the same possies as Browny, Petts and Krak but unlike these three he hasn't been someone you can move further up the ground as part of a midfield rotation. More a pinchhitter up forward off the bench.
Meyer has been Meyer. Skill level has been exceptional but he doesn't appear to be naturally athletic. That's not to say he's not doing the work on the track as he wouldn't be in the top 25 but you won't see him finish first in a run or yet dominate a scratch match compared to Howat, Foley, Tambo or Lids say. So to go to the next level he needs to work hard improving his fitness. Still he's only about to start his 3rd year so I'm prepared to give him time as we did with Petts. Class is something that has been rare at Tigerland so you don't just throw it away because results haven't been instant.
Razor like Tivs is someone who we've probably seen what we are getting but like Tivs his work ethic and training has been very good over the preseason up until the past few weeks when he's picked up an injury of some kind and hasn't trained (my guess a groin?). There's also the Jacko question of where does hit fit? He's had hit and misses as a key defender, he can't ruck and he doesn't have the nouse to play a rebounding role off HB. His position bodytype wise is probably as a tall wingman a la Brett Burton but once again he doesn't have the footy nouse or sheer athleticism for that role.
Moore is one of my smokies for this year along with Matty White. He needed some luck on the injury front and touchwood so far he has gotten through this preseason unscathed. He's played BP on both Browny and Petts in the scratch matches and seems to have now rediscovered the confidence in his body to stand up and compete each week as a third defender. Let's hope for his and our sake this continues as we'll gain a better skilled and footy smarter version of Chubba.
ps. Btw welcome to OER torch :)

Great reporting.
Thursfield looks to have bulked up in the upper body. How is his training form, more importantly how is his mobility and pace? Is he doing all the running with ease, and how is his taking off speed and change of direction?
I've only seen Thursfield once, last year when he got injured, and was mega impressed with him - he killed Riewoldt, absolutely killed him and Riewoldthad no answers. His closing speed for a big man was awsome and his close checking and spoiling was great. Had he not got injured we would have won that game.
He along with Moore are vital to our setup. They are tall, quick and smart footballers. They will compliment Gaspar and Polak really well, and give Bowden, Raines and Newman further freedom to create. They are skillful and smart enough to create themselves, but tight and quick enough to be tight checking if required, especially Thursty.
Fingers crossed Thursfield has completely overcome his knee injury because he is a player we have been looking for for a long long time. Someone that can shut down those quick, tallish, slippery forwards like Riewoldt, O'Loughlin, Hunter etc.
-

Fingers crossed Harry the knee hasn't robbed his mobilty. During the drills he does them without any signs of discomfort or hinderance. Last week or it might have been the week before Thursty, along with Hyde, worked with a trainer running and turning from cone to cone. They both didn't have any trouble doing it. As for speed I haven't seen him do any full-out sprinting at training. The best chance to see it will be in actual games. Thursty hasn't been involved in too many of the scratch matches so in a game situation he still needs to be tested. In the one or two times he has played he's looked rusty but that may be more due to not having played footy for 12 months rather than any loss of pace.

great reporting, MT :thumbsup

Thanks MT for the welcome ... just hope we have a good year ... (finals!)

I couldn't make the main training session today but I popped into Punt Road on the way to work and Richo was practising his set shots from distance and at various angles with Jade Rawlings on the mark doing the whole wavey arms thing to distract Richo. After each shot Rawlings would discuss with Richo his kicking action. The big fella was pretty much on song too. Had about 10 shots and didn't miss one although the last one went through about waist height.
Someone I know at training said some of the boys were a touch sore from Friday's intra-club match so didn't train (sorry no names) but everyone who played on Friday would be right for Wednesday's training.
-
Oh Dear, Jade Rawlings taking Richo for goal kicking. ::)
Jade Rawlings is the worst kick you will ever see.
Didnt he kick 7 points straight in a game at the doggies ?
Why wouldnt you get someone like eg Tony Lockett, Gary Lyon,Tony Modra,Alistair Lynch etc. Players who had SOME idea on how to kick goals.
-
Well they are now related lol.
Is Richo still the T@FE teacher of goalkicking? :-\
-
Everyone was laughing 2-3 years ago when rawlings went to the Dogs, saying what a crap trade it was, then he went to Kangas and spent most the year in the two,s
If Richo would take his brother in law seriously ::)

just bec one cant kick does not mean he has no idea when seeing a kicking error. u dont have to be a gr8 player to be a gr8 coach, hafey was a pathetic player but a genius coach
-
Jade Rawlings did have a terrible kicking action, thus his inability to be accurate in front of goal.
Half the reason they tried to play him down back,never mind!
If you have a look at Richos tapes back to 1995, his action has changed dramatically
-
when do we train next ???
i want to see us !

richos action changed dramatically after he wrecked his knee at the scg.
yes he came back and kicked a bag of goals, but playing as a roaming fwd not kpp.
on the run he rarely misses , his sets shots are his problem, why, maybe he thinks and tries too hard, but a free running open goal or goal on the run is more instinctive 4 him

I would back him everytime from set shots 45 m out on a 45 degree angle on his left as he faces goals. Hardly ever misses those harder shots
-
i reckon the problem with richo's kicking is the gliding of the football to boot
he releases the football to high ...
he needs to kick over the ball ... and not kick leading back ... needs to get his body behind the ball ...
-
Looking forward to this training report.
If you don't come up with the goods, MT ;) there will be tears :P

Training today was at Gosch's Paddock from 2pm to about 4.30pm. Slighty windy at times but mostly a (very) warm sunny day.
Absent today from training were Kingsley, Hall, Petersen and of course Cogs. As mentioned in the injury update thread Simmo, Patto and Knobel were in the rehab group. Collins joined them during the scratch match quarter. Everyone else including Thursty, Schulz, JON and Hyde trained for the whole 2.5 hour session.
The session began with the squad breaking up into three groups. The main action centred around group nearest to us on the wing under David King involving Newy, Jake King, Clingan, JON, Rainesy, McGuane, Thursty, Joel and a couple of others I've forgotten. David King would kick a high ball (poor Tas copped on in the jaw misjudging one) and then they would handball and pass to each other until David King blew a whistle. They then had to run and pass (avoiding the tackles of a trainer) and pass to the leading player from the group in the goalsquare. JON was the most exciting one to watch with his pace. Some excellent passes by JON, Joel and Rainesy.
For the next drill the whole squad lined up in two rows about 20m apart facing one another. They (in teams of white and black) then had to work from one side to another with handball in groups of 4 or 5 against the other team. Initially it was a bit scrappy and Rawlings pulled them up and told them to "lift your skill level boys". Which they did as the drill was done very cleanly and smartly from that point onwards. For the OER perverts society this is when the boys had their tops off. I can see Moi cancelling her diary and turning up to training this Friday lol.
Next up was a handball receive and footpassing drill. Eight groups in a square with two groups per corner. One player would mark the incoming pass then dish off a handball to a running teammate from the other group on the corner who would kick to the next corner. Mostly well done although a number of the incoming passes at one corner kept overshooting the receiver. Not sure if that was due to the wind but it was only happening at one corner. Our best foot passes - Lids, Meyer and Casserly - always stand out in these drills.
After that the squad has a one quarter pseudo scratch match betweens blacks and whites. The pseudo part comes from the game stopping and starting again from a ball-up for every turnover. Also there would be kick-ins even if a goal was kicked. I thought I was going blind at the start when Meyer kicked a goal and they then had a kick-in ..doh!
Scores:
Whites 4.2-26 G. Meyer 2, Moore, Joel. B. Tivs, rushed. Tambo's set shot didn't make the distane.
Blacks 3.2-20 G. Krak 2 (Both long bombs from the square), Cleve. B. Cleve, rushed. I thought Cleve kicked 2 but the trainer said touched.
Turnovers:
Whites 2 (one was by White)
Blacks 5 (one was a combo by Browny and JON).
Some Match-ups:
W B: Gas Rainesy
B F: Cleve Browny
W HB: Lids Polak Joel
B HF: Harts Richo Rawlings
W mids: Foley Sugar Howat Hyde Tuck
B mids: Edwards Casserly Clingan Pettifer Riewoldt
W HF: Moore Tambo
B HB: Schulz McGuane
W F: Meyer Jacko
B B: King Thursty
Best:
Sugar - collected heaps of possies and hit his targets
Meyer - probably the most influential Danny has been in a scratch match. Marked everything on the lead that came his way and was directly responsible for the 4 Whites goals - 2 of his own and two assists passing off.
Krak let go with some nice bombs from centre clearances.
The usual names - Howat, Joel, etc were solid.
For the last drill the squad split into two groups (even mix of blacks and whites) and each group as Blacks vs Whites would in turn have about 5 minutes to scores goals from a centre bounce. If there was a turnover, the game would start again at a centre bounce. It got pretty competitive towards the end with some of the Blacks in the group waiting their turn, in a huddle pointing out who should be marking whom when Tambo on the Whites side marked all by himself in the goalsquare. For the record the Whites won 4.0 to 1.1.
Teams:
Gr 1:
Whites: Gas Hyde Howat Foley Ploak Tivs Moore
Blacks: Browny McGuane Krak JON Jacko Hughes Cass Connors
Gr 2:
Whites: Newy Lids Rainesy Polak Joel Polo Sugar Tuck Meyer Tambo Hyde
Blacks: Riewoldt Edwards Richo Petts Schulz Harts Hughes White Clingan King
The session finished off with some goalkicking practice. Firstly receiving a handball on the run and firing away and then set shots. Fairly accurately done.
Photos to come later tonight.

Forgot to say Graham wasn't there also. Anyone here want to volunteer to be the Richmond ruckman this weekend :-\.

MT - in the photo with Johnson with the ball, what exactly are they doing in the drill?
A group of 3 or 4 so players needed to run and work the ball by hand from one side to the other while others tried to stop them. When they started handballing just that touch longer to players on the move the skill level rose to a decent quality level and no balls hitting the ground. No more short 1m nothing handballs.
-
Great pics and report MT! Did you work for the CIA or something. Your attention to detail is outstanding. I reckon you could get a job with the club spying and reporting on opposition training and tactics. 8) Shhhh secret squirrel. :lol
Lids physique reminds me of Bruce Lee in his prime. All toned muscle and not an ounce of fat on him.

Training today is on at 2pm at Punt Rd Oval.
-
Just got back from training at Punt Rd. A short session today that went for just on an hour 2-3pm. The only absentees today were Kingsley, Razor, Petersen and Cogs. Knobel, Patto and Graham worked on their tapwork while Simmo was doing so kick to kick. Patto also did some running. Schulz did the whole session again so we must be just being cautious with him so he doesn't do another hammy. Thursty and Hyde also got through the whole session.
The session began with a full length of the ground circle work thanks to the pitch in the centre of Punt Rd. Basically running, carrying, handballing and passing the footy around. Good talk an enthusiasm from the boys and cleanly done as well.
Next up was goalkicking on the run after receiving a handpass. The drill began with 3 misses in the dozen shots or so, so Plough stopped the drill and told them to stop trying to be too fancy and getting off-balance. Just run at the goals. Most went through and Thursty and White both hit the Motorola sign in the middle of the goals near the top. I still think the team's goalkicking accuracy needs to improve and be more consistent though.
And that was it. Some of the squad - Richo, Browny, Petts, Cleve, McGuane, Polo, Tuck, Jacko, White, Krak and a few others I've forgotten worked on their set shots at goal. Riewoldt worked with the coaches on his leading and then re-leading. Made him run to one wing then run back to the staff in the middle of the oval then run up the centre then back and then across to the other wing where he marked the ball on the lead.
While all this was going on it seemed our backline for Sunday was in heavy discussion. Joel, Polak, Gas, Rainesy, Lids, Newy, Moore and Cleve were in a huddle for quite a while together chatting away.
Wallace was interviewed by a couple of female journos from the Herald-Sun. They asked him about Browny, Polak and either Newy or Thursty. With the one of the later (I think Wallace meant Thursty) Plough said he's on track for round 1 provided everything continues to go right and at the moment he's done mostly straight line running stuff so he still needs to get through more twisting and turning work to be sure. Plough also said although we'll be aiming to win, the main aim for us in the NAB Cup was to focus on getting our structures right for the season as it's a long 12 months.
Photos to come (although only a couple as the session was short).

Just got back from training. Not a long session compared to others previously. About an hour and a half's worth. Everyone was present apart from Cogs although the rehab group was almost as large as the actual squad. About 15 in it at one stage IIRC - Richo, Simmo, Paddy, Kingsley, Gas, Edwards, Joel, Knobel, Sugar, Hall, Patto, Krak, Petersen, JON and Thursty - and all they did was muck around with the footy and tennis ball for most of session. Everyone seemed in good spirits still. I didn't notice Plough or David King there today either.
For the rest they focussed on foot skills and passing for about an hour.... no surprise after Sunday's effort although the kicker was under no pressure. The squad split into four groups in a diamond shape and passed the footy clockwise and then anticlockwise both short passing (20-25m) and longer (40m). In between the drill they were made a couple of times to run from one goal to the other. I think it may have been punishment if someone stuffed up their pass although Polak missed a target once and they kept going. Overall it was cleanly done with only 3 missed targets but as I said the kicker and the receiver were under no pressure.
Next up the squad was split into two groups for a best of 5 foot passing race from one goal to the other and back again. Each group had a couple of players at each goal and at HF and HB lines. I'll need to check my photos to see who was in each group exactly but the group with Tambo, Riewoldt and Tivs lost 2-3 after leading 2-0. The disposal was clean apart from one mistake. The losing team had to do 30 push-ups and 50 sit-ups in front of the winners.
After the race the boys did some set shot goalkicking. Pretty much followed on from the weekend's accuracy which was good to see. Then Royal told them to get into their T@FE groups which for the main squad was practising kicking goals from stoppages (ball-ups and throw-ins) inside forward 50. The rest watched Schulz, Jacko, McGuane, Rainesy, Clever and JON practice their speccies over a bag. Also, as mentioned in another thread, Rawlings worked with them on what is and isn't allowed with the new rule interpretations.
The players as a whole finished off training with a few having shots at goal with everyone else on either side on them. Lots of woohoos with each goal kicked.
One of the tv news services (might have been Ch 10) was at training filming so there might be something on us on one of the news services tonight. Mark Robinson from the Herald-Sun was also watching with one of RFC officials and had a quick chat with Browny afterwards.
Photos to come later tonight.

we need to train in pressure situations !
and to carry the ball into the forward line ...
and our forwards not to lead outside the 50 metre mark !

They do the latter two at training most times even if they forget to do them during a game ::) but I agree with your first point torch. There's a difference between having 5 seconds to make up your mind and hit a target to a real game scenario where you often have just a split second.

A lovely warm sunny day to watch training at Gosch's paddock today. A pretty long and tough session (Browny said so himself afterwards) that went over 2 hours.
Most of the boys were in the main squad today except for Simmo and Paddy in rehab. No sign of Richo, Kingsley or Petersen. Apparently Kingsley re-hurt his ankle on Friday. As Moi kindly posted there was one casualty with Casserly going off with hamstring tightness during the scratch match. The trainers worked on his lower back and stretching exercises his hammys. Cass also did a jog but then left. I would say it was on par with what Richo did. Not a bad one but will keep him out for a week or two. The poor kid just can't take a trick.
Simmo and Paddy did heaps of running around the boundary at decent pace. Simmo escorted by a fitness trainer. Simmo also did some running on the spot with high knee rises. He said after training his ankle is coming good and he's hoping to play in a practice match in two weeks. Fingers crossed.
Jackstar will be pleased to know that a 60-year long Tiger fan reckons we train too hard before Christmas as well :shh.
-
Onto what they did today. To sum up they certainty worked on the things they didn't or wouldn't do on Sunday. The coaching staff must have read torch's post as there was plenty of drills working on our disposal under pressure; not that we suddenly stopped making the same skill and decision making errors as on Sunday :P.
When I got to Gosch's paddock around 2.30pm, the squad was split into 3 groups.
The first group were working on passing and marking inside our forward 50. Each midfielder would in turn start from just behind the centre of the ground and then try to spot up a lead from 3 choices. Schulz, Riewoldt, Jacko, Browny, White and McGuane were some of the forward/defender pairings. Mostly clean although there were a couple of kicks that fell short of the target. JON didn't bother passing as his pace took him to 50. A replay of the Essendon game.
This group then split into two with one heading down with David King at the far goals separated in two teams playing keepings off inside the 50 arc. Good talk and workrate and the execution was quite good. In this group were King, Thursty, Connors, Polak, Moore, Cass, Clingan, Cleve, Meyer, Rainesy and JON. The remainder did ste shot goalkicking practice.
The second group was on the wing with Brian Royal working on set-ups and structures at centre bounces (there's a centre circle on the wing at Gosch's paddock). In this group were Graham doing the tapwork with Sugar, Tuck, Foley, Tambo, Howat, Lids, Edwards, Polo and Tivs as midfielders. Simmo and Knobel watched on while Patto held the jumping bag. Graham and 3 of the midfielders would huddle to discuss their set-up then the 3 midfielders would pair up against another 3. Graham then would jump on a bag and his 3 teammates had to win the clearance from the tap. Good to watch as it was right by the fence railing and you got a close up view. They still need to work on their off the ball skills such as blocking to open up a corridor for a teammate. Tivs ran into his teammate Sugar at one stage :wallywink.
Next up the squad came together to form two rows for the handballing under pressure drill Harry asked about last week. The standout today was Jack. Everything he did both with the ball and his defensive pressure and reading the play was excellent. You could hear the coaches praising him for his defensive efforts. Probably intercepted the footy about 3 times. As for the drill overall it was a mixed bag although the difference in pressure applied by us today and Sunday couldn't have been more poles part. The trick to the drill is to not overdo the handpassing. No different to getting in a muddle during a real game by going back and forth spirialing towards an inevitable mistake and turnover.
The next drill was about kicking and footpassing under pressure. The squad formed two separate squares with about 3 or 4 on each corner and a couple in the middle of each. The players on the corners had to footpass the ball to each while those in the middle tried to intercept or cause a miskick. Whoever made a mistake would go into the middle and become the chaser. About halfway through the sqaures would move out so the passes needed to be longer. Watching from the other side of the ground it looked like the drill was done fairly well. One obvious mistake was when Gas as a chaser almost copped one flush in the face (bounced off his shoulder). The coaching staff obviously thought like us that our skills under pressure are still bloody ordinary and need working on.
Next up was another footpassing drill where the kicker wasn't under pressure but they had to hit the receiver who had someone on his tail. This drill more than any other shows up where we need to improve and get to to become a highly skilled team. Even when a pass makes it to teammate it really should be classed as a potential turnover if the receiver has to stop, prop and wait for the pass or needs to change direction late to mark the pass. In a real game these passes would more often not result in our turning over the footy.
The boys then then split into white and yellow teams for a one quarter scratch match. The 4 of us watching had our radar out on skill and decision making mistakes and there were a few especially when passing inside 50 or when cutting inside. It's still only February but we need to iron out handballs that a slightly behind the receiver scotting pass into space and kicks inside or around the outskirts of the 50 arc to flatfooted teammates that are telegraphed and intercepted. It's those things that cost us goals in games. On a positive note the intensity and vocalness was good and it was a fairly evenly matched contest.
Scores:
Whites 1.5-11 G: Petts, Bhds: Patto, Tivs, Tambo, Sugar and Petts
Yellows 2.2-14 G: White, Collins (lovely long running goal), Bhds: Krak 2
* Sugar and Browny were everywhere and got heaps of it. Foley was also good.
* Meyer played in a BP.
* McGuane and Patto played FF respectively for each side.
* Joel played on a HFF up against Newy.
* Edwards run was impressive. Ran to the right spots that benefitted his yellow team. Set up the long goal by Collins and kicked deep inside 50 that resulted in a snap off the pack from Krak.
* Collins seems to have gained more confidence after his good game for Coburg on Sunday.
The session finished off with some more run and carry drillwork. I was chatting away with someone by this stage so didn't pay too much attention. They then warmed down headed off back to Punt Rd.
Sheesh this post is long lol. Just shows how much they did today.
Photos to come.

The second group was on the wing with Brian Royal working on set-ups and structures at centre bounces (there's a centre circle on the wing at Gosch's paddock). In this group were Graham doing the tapwork with Sugar, Tuck, Foley, Tambo, Howat, Lids, Edwards, Polo and Tivs as midfielders. Simmo and Knobel watched on while Patto held the jumping bag. Graham and 3 of the midfielders would huddle to discuss their set-up then the 3 midfielders would pair up against another 3. Graham then would jump on a bag and his 3 teammates had to win the clearance from the tap.
Aftering checking the photos Patto also did some of the tapwork in the drill so hopefully we'll have a few ruckmen to choose from for this weekend with Patto, Graham and Knobel.

Training today was at Punt Rd. Started at 8am (a bit too early for MT :yep so I got there at 9.15) and it finished around 10.15-10.30.
Absent were Simmo, Kingsley, Hall, Cogs, Casserly and Howat. I don't know why Howat wasn't there. In rehab was Petersen who spent most of the session riding a bike near the boundary. During the session all the squad went over and crowded around him egging him on. Towards the end of training Schulz did some runs along the boundary but he looked fine. Thursty also towards the end of training got some work done on his legs by a trainer before going inside.
The session today focussed on winning the ball out of congestion with a new drill which was pleasing to see since we are probably one of the worst sides at blocking and sheparding for each other at stoppages. In groups of 4 vs 4, the attacking team would start huddled together with the footy while the other team of 4, each wearing a special shoulder padded black top, surrounded them. The attacking team then had to work together to clear the ball into space and finally go for goal. The boys learnt fairly quickly after a few goes at it that all 4 had to get moving and work as a unit to clear the congestion otherwise you got nailed. The skill level was surprisingly very clean today.
Next up was the standard footpassing and goalkicking and then they broke up to do their own thing before going inside to do a weights session in the gym.
Joel, Petts, Thursty, Patto and Polly worked on 1-on-1s out of the goalsquare. David King spent time with Hyde, Foley, Tas, Lids, JON and Polo on taking on an opponent and evading him by changing direction. Run hard one way then switch to the other and once you've decided on a direction do it explosively otherwise you end up waddling back and forth going nowhere and in a standoff (trouble). Sounded simple but quite a few of them still waddled though which King picked them up on. Basically told them to think through the options in their mind - 1) create the space, 2) if you have space to bounce then go for goal, 3) if you can't goal hit the forward, 4) if there's no forward then pass off (backwards) and start the process again.
The rest of the squad finished off with set shot goalkicking practice.
Photos to come later tonight.

Sunny day at Punt Rd again. Only a light session that started at 11am and went for 45 minutes. All Tiges were present except for the injured guys Razor, Kingsley, Richo and Casserly. Simmo was the only Tiger in rehab doing ball-handling stuff and kick to kick with one of the trainers. Blingers was at training so they must be resting him tomorrow.
Not much to report today. Mostly standard non-contact run and carry and passing drills. They started with a full length of the ground circle work followed by passing from just outside 50 to a forward leading from the goalsquare. They then finished off with some goalkicking on the run. All of it mostly clean as you would expect under no physical pressure.

Next training session is tomorrow (Wednesday), 2pm at Gosch’s Paddock
-
Training today was at Gosch's paddock. It was meant to start at 2pm but the boys were held back in a meeting back at Punt Road for another 50mins. Once underway it went for about an hour and 15 minutes.
Absentees were Simmo, Kingsley, Razor and Cogs. I don't remember seeing Knobel either but I might have missed him. Richo, Thursty and Casserly were doing runs along the boundary in the rehab group. Thursty is apparently returning from a groin strain. Cass pulled up for a short while and the trainer asked him if he was okay. He said he was and he joined in again with Richo and Thursty.
Lids, Rainesy and Connors have cropped their locks with a no. 1.
A mixture of things today as far as drills went.
1. Handballing under pressure. The squad would split into two rows facing each other about 30m apart and in between a small group had to work the ball from side to the other by hand as others with bags tried to block and force errors.
2. The usual mark, handball give/receive and kick drill between 4 groups on each corner of the square. The boys seemed to be more focussed with their kicking today. You could notice them steady themselves more before kicking.
3. Non-stop rebounding from one goal to the other through the corridor and back again.
4. Attack from defence and goal. A mixture of rebounding, run and carry and hitting targets inside 50. The squad was split and paired into two teams. One attacking (non-pads) and one defending (padded shirts). Patto and Graham with start the drill with a ruck contest deep in defence and the attacking side would have to work the ball towards the goal at the other end. If the padded shirts scored a turnover then they would then go on the attack.
5. Running and set shot goalkicking.
Overall it was one of the better sessions and everyone was in good spirits. The skill level on the whole was better which probably isn't saying much giving last Saturday but it was. In saying that we still need a lot more improvement polishing our skills but at least the ball was kept moving forward and their was flow to our movement of the footy rather than stop start.
Overhead a trainer say they couldn't care less about preseason scoreboard results as we don't want anymore injuries before round 1.

Cheers Magic. Lids probably had the edge most of the time but whenever Browny won a tussle, Plough and David King would have go at Lids about losing to a bloke 2 inches shorter to egg him on. Plough would also tease Browny about giving away free kicks.

Ta MT.
I thought Lids would have the upper hand.
Might be a different result if Lids was minding Browny on a HBF.
Good matchup.

Training times this week for those interested ....
Wednesday, March 21 2pm Punt Road Oval
Friday, March 23 1pm Gosch’s Paddock
-
4 more training sessions until Carlton ...
it is like the new year is soon !
-
Just got back from a sunny Punt Rd Oval. A light session today that went for about an hour 2-3pm. The only absentees I noticed were Cogs obviously and Connors.
In rehab was Simmo, Knobel, Thursty, Razor, Kingsley (with a brace boot around his right ankle), Petersen and Browny. Browny was probably just having a rest today.
Harts, Newy and Schulz went off early. I'm hoping Sarge is okay but he left with a trainer halfway through a drill after a few stretches. I'm hoping it's not a groin :-\.
Richo and Casserly were back in full training.
Not much to report in terms of the drills done as they were the standard running, passing and marking ones plus goalkicking practice done in the past few weeks.
What I would say is the foot skills were on the whole on song today as they should under no physical pressure. Kicks went to the advantage side of the receiver. The only times the drill lost momentum was when a Tiger lost concentration and dropped a simple mark which happened a couple of times.
Petts, Krak, White and Collins worked on their crumbing goals.
Polak joined Patto and Graham in ruck practice. Maybe a prelude to what we will do round 1.
Francis Jackson said he hopes Tas makes it and sticks it up a few people in years to come as not one club even offered him an invitation to a screening training session. Petersen has added some muscle but still a long way off before he plays.

Wednesday's squad
-
Thanks for the pics & reports again. 8)
I know it's been said many times already this pre-season but in that squad pic, Foley is looking magnificently fit.
The guy looks like a mini Hulk!
Hopefully his obvious hard work off the field transcends to success on it.

This is an amazing thread, MT
Started off so well by WP and then MT took over and has just been sensational.
To get as many words out of a session of kick-to-kick is mind boggling lol, but you never let us down :bow
I saw the criticism and I'm gobsmacked to be hearing it come from someone who rarely attends a game let alone a training session :wallywink
I'm very appreciative and I'm sure many others are as well at your highly "original" and fantastic reports.
:clapping
The nerve ;)

"To get as many words out of a session of kick-to-kick is mind boggling lol" :rollin
Thanks for the kind words Moi :cheers. You've got to laugh at some sad people's wild imagination, insecurity and jealousy :sleep. Anyway moving right along and back on topic :shh. We couldn't care less :yawn.
Tomorrow the Club is having a intra-club scratch match at Gosch's paddock at 1pm so a good time to come down and watch if anyone is free and interested.
-
Keep it up MT. Anyone can see it's a labour of love and not a game of oneupmanship, as I'm sure it isn't for the other bloke who does them as well.
The ppl on his site appreciate what he does, and I'm sure ppl here do as well if someone can fill them in with news they haven't heard before.
But for someone to criticise either him or you, you really need to have something better to come up with rather than taking cheap snipes at someone else's hard work.

mt
i have read b/w the lines and have worked out what moi is on about
dont stress, your reports are the best by a mile, not that i read any others lol
but iirc, a certain top bloke who used to be called "df1on1" :lol, got the ball rolling re/ training updates on another site.
must admit, "df1on1" is dearly missed , esp by a certain ppl :rollin :rollin

Appreciate the kind comments guys but seriously as we've said numerous times WP and I couldn't care less what is said/done elsewhere. We only care about OER :thumbsup. Let's talk about the footy.

A hot and bloody windy day today. More like blowing a gale actually at Gosch's paddock :P. Despite needing to do a detour with all the turmoil due to the tragic tunnel accident :( I got there on time.
A few absentees today. No Browny which may get a few tongues wagging again. No Simmo, Knobel, Kingsley, Hall, Tuck, Schulz, JON, Harts, Thursty, Cass or Connors. I hope Sarge isn't injured again after Wednesday :scream.
Meyer wasn't allowed to be involved in any contact drills today so he's carrying something as well :(. He did one of the rebounding drills and then some marking and kicking with the fitness coordinator. During which all the fitness coordinators notes were blown out of his clipboard folder and across Gosch's paddock. Thankfully every sheet of paper was found and retrieved.
Jack Riewoldt left half way through the scratch match but I didn't notice anything wrong and he was running back to Punt Rd.
The session began with the handballing under pressure drill they've done before whereby the squad would plit into two facing each other and in groups of about 4, each group had to handball their way to the other side avoiding tacklers wearing padded tops. This way followed by the usual run, mark and pass drill around the centre square. Skill level was fairly decent given the conditions.
The final drill before the scratch match was a full ground rebound into attack and goal drill. The squad was split into 2 two teams of whites vs yellows. Rawlings would start the drill from one goalsquare to a player just inside defensive 50. Then that team has to work their way towards goal. One down the other end the teams would swap attacking and defensive roles then they would rest while the other two teams did the same thing if that makes sense. I kept count of turnovers today as the drill was stopped whenever there was turnover. Plough and the coaching staff must be reading OER ;D. The drill was done about 20 times or so and there were 9 turnovers :-\ although maybe we can forgive them today with the gale blowing. Richo had 2 (dropped mark and a hail mary kick), Patto (holding the ball), Petts (dropped mark. He then pumped the ball at goal in disgust lol), Meyer (a bit stiff as I thought the defender gave away a free taking away the arms). Paddy, Jacko and Howat passes were intercepted. Moore's pass looked good but then the breeze came up and took ball way over a teammates head for a point.
One other time Howat ran into an open goal and not one player from the other team chased him. So Plough went crook as the drill was about working hard both ways. He made them defend again straight way. Edwards got told off around the start of the drill by David King for not leading hard enough. Good on Shane for lifting his workrate for the rest of the drill.
The session finished with a roughly 10min 4 quarter scratch match b/w whites and yellows. Yellows started well early in the first quarter but after that the whites were the more dominant team mainly due to having tall options up forward.
Best
Tambo (B.O.G.) - It was only a fairly open scratch match but Blingers brought his A-game today. He was everywhere and his workrate was first class. One minute he'd be in a contests on one wing and then as his team swtiched the play to the other side you'd see him in space on the opposite wing receiving the footy. He also took mark of the year when running back he leaped straight up on Howat(?)'s shoulders. Just couldn't quite hold on. The most pleasing part of that was that he landed like a cat back on his feet and won the footy on the ground in the next contest :clapping. Another Blingers highlight was him seeing Richo falling off the back of the defence as he was running off half-back. Let rip with a 70m torp with the breeze right over the defensive line and down Richo's throat who kicked a goal.
Richo - hammy what hammy. A few times when he had to stetch for the mark you crossed your fingers but the big fella got through fine. Kicked 3 goals and was ever present with his workrate.
Polo - Another good solid display by Marco working hard with and without the footy working up and down the ground. Only blight was he should have kicked the set shot he missed.
Howat - Was prominant especially in the first half. Probably on par with Blingers as best on ground in the first half. Got plenty of the footy.
Foley and Lids - solid games again. Nice awareness from Lids when he was surrounded yet was able to dodge and weave to stay clear for long enough to then pass back to a open teammate. Lids played forward in the first half then in the guts for the rest of the game. Foley got a fair bit of it as well.
Moore - Didn't get much of the footy but kept Petts quiet.
Hyde - did fairly well. Looked like he was playing at CHF for the yellows. Better in the first half.
Graham and Patto - Fairly even and good contest in the ruck from what I saw.
Polak - Solid. Played CHF in the first half and presented well. Had a chance to kick 2 goals but missed both 40m set shots. He moved around a bit in the second half.
Both Edwards and Collins did some nice cameos playing on each other.

Good news :thumbsup

Great report mt :clapping
Although out of a 40 minute game only scoring 3 goals is pretty bad. :scream
Good news about Tambo. :clapping
Perhaps all those who missed will play for Coburg tomorrow. Possibility?
-
nice work mt
starting to get worried about brown though
i hope the tigers are not bs here and are just resting him because his preseason started much earlier than everyone else.
schulz is a worry too, if he has another injury plagued yr, its time to cut our losses and trade him off or delist him
-

WP mentioned that yeah JON, Casserly and Thursfield will play tomorrow.
It was blowing a gale today. Made kicking for goal very difficult. For instance Krak gathered the ball in a pocket and centred a high ball (not sure if he was going for goal). There were 3 yellows waiting underneath for it to come down. Polo was the only white about 20m away but you could see him going "I'm not going to get to this", "I'm not going to get to this", "I'm not going to get this", "oh got it!" ;D.

No sure about Browny X myself but the way Sarge was testing himself out before heading into the rooms on Wednesday with a trainer I reckon he might have hurt himself again (either a quad or groin by the way he was stretching and trying it out). It didn't look planned that's for sure.
-
From the Herald-Sun
Wallace said a handful of senior players including Nathan Brown, Jay Schulz, Shane Tuck, Trent Knobel, Troy Simmonds and Will Thursfield did not complete yesterday's main session.
But those players will do a double-up session today. Wallace said Brown's program included one week's rest every four weeks.
"Browny works through a program where about every four weeks he has virtually a week off his legs," Wallace said.
"We do that pretty regularly with him, and he started that on Wednesday, so he'll probably go until next Tuesday before he gets back on the track."
http://www.heraldsun.news.com.au/footy/common/story_page/0,8033,21436278%255E19742,00.html
On Sports Tonight last night, they asked the RFC about Browny and we said he's fine.

Just got back from a overcast and damp under foot Punt Rd. Quite a good sized crowd watching too.
Only the squad for Sunday training today. As mentioned in the other thread Meyer trained with them so he must have been added to the squad. The only concern, outside all our known injuries, is Knobel. Knobs spent most of the session on the boundary just handballing back and forth with a trainer. He only joined in for the goalkicking practice at the end. Everyone else looked fine. Edwards and Petersen were watching in casuals from the race.
Not too much to say as the session was only a light one and only went for 45 minutes. Mostly the standard handballing, kicking and goalkicking drills. The standard wasn't too great to be honest so I hope we play better then we trained although it did pick up towards end of training. The notable exceptions were Tambo, Lids and Sugar amongst a couple of others who looked switched on and ready to go.
The highlight of training today was Lids was practising his torps from 70m out and every single one of them sailing clear through the middle :o. I wouldn't mind seeing him do that during a game. It would just lift the side and crowd :thumbsup.
No tactical tricks for Sunday going by today. Richo and Schulz to be a two pronged attack. Meyer played forward as well in the rebounding drills.
-
thanx mt
i think knobs wont play
and anything tactically woudl ahve been done and discussed on wed closed session
your right about lids, he should use his torp more often and i cant wait to see blingers burn teh mcg turf
meyer should play imho
-
your right about lids, he should use his torp more often and i cant wait to see blingers burn teh mcg turf
It just shows that we have blokes in our side that can kick accurately for goal from long distance. Why risk passing 20m to a leading forward under pressure when you can just bypass everyone and kick the goal. The only real thing that annoys me with the way we play. The whole point to winning the game is to kick goals; not play cute footy.
-
i hear ya
-
A legacy from the Spud days. Chip kicks and short passes instead of grabbing the ball from the centre and quickly bombing it to the forwards.

Didn't go. Ch 10 news showed a clip of the boys training yesterday including Richo running around so the 22 picked look set to go :gotigers.
-
Just got back from a sunny mild day at Punt Rd where the boys trained for about an hour and a half. They mostly worked on physicality and run and carry today.
Absent altogether were Browny, Razor, Meyer and Moore.
It was a surprise to see Cogs come out in his training gear but he just stood and watched.
A few of the guys either stood in the race very briefly or did a little handball work - Collins, Clingan, Connors (left thing tapped), Clever, Cass, Howat, Kingsley, Knobel, Petersen.
Others like Simmo, Sugar, Foley, Riewoldt, Edwards only did part of the main training with the squad and the rest doing their own thing.
Simmo, Patto, Graham and Polak with the help of Newy worked on their ruckwork for a bit.
The only concern to come out of training was Rainesy doing separate work with a trainer. He was running baulking from side to side. Perhaps he's carrying something which might explain his slow start to the year.
For the first half an hour of training we had Robbie Kearns from the Storm down to work on physical and tackling drills. Riewoldt was very vocal pumping the boys to be hard at training. At least our young guys seem to understand what's required ::). A bit of stand-up wrestling to start with followed by some 2 on 2 whereby the tacklers had to stop the ball being cleared by hand and force the attackers across the boundary line. They also did a couple of other handball/tackling combo drills. At one point David King yelled out "where's our **** leaders" to get the boys more vocal during it. They finished off with some 1 on 1 fighting for the ball with Royal rolling it along the ground. Lids and Tambo were great to watch. Lids probably slightly ahead as they went along. Other contests were Krak and Hyde, and McGuane and Petts from memory. Thankfully everyone got through without injury although a couple of boys got up gingerly from tackles but were fine a minute latter. They were wearing padded training tops.
After Robbie Kearns left they then worked on some run and carry drills. The first drill seemed new. Most of the squad gathered at one end and then 4 players at a time had to work together to run and carry past two lines of tacklers - one at CHB and one a CHF - and then either pass to Richo up against McGuane or kick the goal themselves. The good thing about this drill was you saw the same mistakes we make during a real game. Guys turning themselves into trouble and handball errors. It was also to test our tackling from a defenders viewpoint which was pretty good. Best at it today were Lids, Tambo and Hyde although Tambo once left the ball behind when he was bouncing it at full pace.
The final drill was a rebounding from defence one and targetting our forwards - Richo (v McGuane) at FF plus Schulz (v Gas) and Petts at CHF. Each time a player lead and marked in the midfield David King would yell out for everyone to sprint.
And that was about it. During the session when they were huddled as a squad there were two big distinct cheers so maybe a possible sign of two changes or two newbies?

I wanna see more input from league players like kearns at the club.
He should be doing 2 days a week there.
As for jack pumping the boys up :thumbsup
I bet it was honest too mt,unlike the feigning of leadership and inspiration we get from our bloodsucking seniors

He was loud and proud :thumbsup. Great to see a first year player with such confidence, thinking about the team and not needing to be told to be vocal.

Friday, April 27 11am MCG
Tomorrow's training session is a Gosch's Paddock at 10am.
-
Just got back from a overcast MCG where training was held. The session went for about an hour or just a bit more. The centre square was closed off by rope which I would've thought defeats the purpose of training there but I guess the Eagles will have to put up with the same thing.
The whole squad including emergencies for tomorrow's game were present plus Kingsley. Everyone looked to be moving freely so I don't expect any late change. Kingsley wouldn't be too far away from getting a game with Coburg.
Not much to report about the drills as they were the stock standard ones we do every session - close intight handball, short foot passing, full ground run and carry circle work and finally both running and set shot goalkicking.
There were tv cameras filming the session and one of coaches (might have been David King) did a short press conference by the race. So there might be some report about it on Ch 10 news tonight.
-
well done mt
btw, have a feeling kingsley will be a big surprise for us after round 10
-
The problem is the season may be long gone by then and from a drafting perspective it won't be in our long-term interests to win a few games and move up the ladder in the second half of year if we have no chance of making the Eight. That's how the stupid system works. Either challenge for a flag or tank ::).
I forget to add as well it's Sugar's right hand that's strapped up.
-
Training times this week:
Wednesday, May 2 2pm Punt Road Oval
Friday, May 4 2pm Punt Road Oval
-
Tomorrow's session has been changed to a close session. So either someone is having a fitness test (Browny?) or Terry might have something tactical up his sleeve given we are playing at the Dome.
-
Training today was at a sunny but breezy Punt Rd. The session went for roughly an hour.
Plenty of media folk at the ground packing up their stuff after Gas announced his retirement. As you can imagine there was lots of chatter amongst the crowd who turned up to watch training as a result with one oldish bloke wanting to know why we got rid of Kellaway.
Anyway I got there about 10 minutes into training and there was no sign of Gas. In the rehab group Browny and Knobel were handballing to each before heading inside to get on the bike: Peterson and Collins did some straight line runs as well as some running kick to kick with Simmo and a trainer. Simmo was rested today.
Absent were Gas, Polo, Paddy, Kingsley, Razor, Cogs, Patto, Krak, Tivs, Thursty, Cass, and Connors. Clingan and Harts came out for a look before heading back inside.
The named squad trained minus Gas but plus Jack :thumbsup and Graham.
As it was a short session they didn't do much today but the first drill was interesting as there was emphasis on running hard in numbers to the flanks on the switch of play. I think Terry has woken up to the fact that we haven't done that or at least to the level required in the past. We would get the ball defensively in the corridor then kick to a free man running hard on the flank to keep the switch of play moving rather than getting bogged down.
For the rest of the session they did their usually run and carry cricle work and goalkicking practice. Even in the breezy conditions Clever didn't miss one shot :bow. It's still work in progress with Sarge although he wasn't fading them to the right like he did against the Eagles.
It looks like JON will be used in the midfield rotations. Royal took Graham, Simmo (to hold the bag lol), Sugar, Lids, Tambo, Rainesy, JON, Edwards, Howat and Tuck to the other end of Punt Rd oval and he and Sugar went through midfield set-ups with the younger guys.
That's pretty much it. Any questions fire away.

Training today was at an overcast Punt Rd oval. The session went for rough 1.5 hours and included a one quarter scratch match. I missed the first bit of training so I'll only comment on what I saw.
Most of the list was in attendance which is probably the most we've had training together for 6 months before all the injuries kicked in during preseason training. In rehab were Browny, Harts, Schulz, Knobel, Simmo, Paddy, Cogs and Tambo. Peterson only did half the session and then did some running, kick to kick and goalkicking with Tambo. Collins and Sugar also only did half the session and Foley didn't participate in the scratch match. Browny and Harts also did laps. Hopefully a good sign that Browny's leg is finally showing some signs of improvement. Tambo has his shoulder strapped but didn't seem to limited in his movement. Basically didn't train with the main squad to avoid contact. He whacked it a few times in front of the trainer and Sugar also gave it a tap so it doesn't sound as though it is too bad a shoulder. Schulz has his right thigh strapped all the way around. As far as the other rehabers went, Cogs did some bike work on the boundary line.
Now onto the training. When I arrived the group were running around as one big group encouraging each other to be more vocal. Jack is the standout as he's the extrovert of the group. He never shuts up lol. During the whole session when it got a bit quiet the coaches would sing out that they wanted to hear some talk and then the noise levels rose again.
The group then split into two with each rotating during the drill whereby we were working on our movement of the footy from one end to the other including "hitting-up" and out to the flanks to provide an option. One time no one made a definite lead out of about 6 1-on-1's and Wallace stopped the drill and brought them. A few loud "arghhhs" today after mistakes and Joel told a certain much maligned senior player who missed a open Matty White and kicked the ball out on the full that he has to be better than that :shh
The scratch match went for about a 15min quarter between blacks and yellows. The Blacks won 4.1 to 1.1. Clever, Petts, Richo and Tivs kicked the goals for the blacks plus one rushed behind. Howat kicked the solitary goal for the yellows.
Standouts were Joel, Polo, Howat, Petts.
I might have a couple on the wrong team but from memory it was something like the following:
Black backs: Joel, Polak, Newy, Raines and Lids.
Yellow forwards: Jack, Kingsley?, Meyer
Black mids: Patto, Polo, Tivs, Hyde, JON, Cass, Clingan, King
Yellow mids: Graham, Connors, Tuck, Jacko, Krak, Howat, Edwards,
Black forwards: Richo, Hughes, Petts
Yellow backs: McGuane, Thursty, Moore
After the scratch match they broke into smaller groups. Richo was practising his ruck technique: Meyer, Connors, Howat, White and Cleve were with McRae working on collecting the ball off the ground and repeating second, third, fourth efforts as well as doing it while bumping into a player (Danny with a pad). Another group with Newy, Tivs, Tuck, Edwards were with David King where two footys were placed side by side 80m out and they would have races to see who could kick a goal the fastest. The other groups were practising their crumbing goals at either end of the ground.
That was about it. Any questions just fire away.

.......open Matty White and kicked the ball out on the full that he has to be better than that :shh

ok mt, who was it, was it sugar , tiv, krak....., no harm in letting us know.
if u dont wanna post it, pm me, i will keep it hush

Foley didn't participate in the scratch match.
hey mt, why did foley miss the scratch match, do you think its because he is our only midfielder having a dip thus was rested, or was there another reason?
also how did lids go, and how was his attitude?

I didn't notice anything wrong with him. He did the other drills both before and after the scratch match and stood and watched the game with Sugar and a trainer.
Lids started across HB, played a solid game and pushed forward to mark and kick a goal. The coaches were pushing him today. Not that he was doing anything wrong, they would just yell out "go Lids".

Just say he isn't the captain and he's not indigenous ;). Mind you he wasn't the only won who made a dumb mistake. Most turnovers were due to floating kicks to teammates that sat up and were spoiled.
-
I forgot to mention that a tallish kid (sorry I don't know his name) in Richmond training gear we had down at training today just kicking the ball around with some other kid was someone Francis Jackson pointed out while talking about junior footy with someone. I don't know if he is our NSW apprentice or maybe a kid we are interested in down the track.

What are your thoughts on Brian Royal at this point MT.?
What role is he playing at training? It concerns me that our skill levels are still so ordinary. :-\

Soft? ... not us: Tiger cubs Will Thursfield and Jack Riewoldt bare their claws at training yesterday. The Tigers have turned to spearhead Matthew Richardson to solve their ruck crisis against Port Adelaide at AAMI Stadium on Saturday. Picture: Norm Oorloff
10 May 2007 Herald-Sun
Gareth Trickey
The Tigers were in a bubbly and playful mood throughout a physical two-hour session.
Armstrong said the tight-knit group had rebounded from a sombre start to the week.
"What can you do? You can't run and hide," he said.
"You've got to come out and give a good account of yourself the next week.
"We've said to our guys the test will be how they react after last week."
Injured forward Nathan Brown (leg) looked sharp, joining Richard Tambling and skipper Kane Johnson for sprint drills.

thanx mt, and fingers crossed tivs does not get a call up, he has to earn his spot and so do all the players
-
With our depleted ruck stocks, how did Simmo look? And Knobel? Patto? And do you think Kingsley will be playing for the seniors very soon?
-

At training Royal concentrates more on centre bounce and midfield set-ups. Towards the end of training he often chats 1-on-1 with some of the younger players.
I've said before that I don't believe we are strict enough on skill errors at training.
We've had the same assistant coaches for 3 years. McRae is the one newbie as development coach. Probably a good time at the end of year to get some fresh ideas into the Club and move Royal and King on. Not sure who should replace them though. Voss' name stands out but you have to keep in mind that a great player doesn't always make a great coach. For every Matthews, Sheeds and Worsfold there's a Watson, Spud and Hart. I wonder if we would have Micky McGuane back.
-

Simmo and Knobel didn't do much. Just some handballing with the others in the rehab group.
Patto did the whole session and rucked against Graham in the scratch match. He played okay. Field passing is still an issue though :-\.
Kingsley is over his injury and did the whole session as well. I still reckon he'll play for Coburg this week. There would be an uproar if he came in to replace Schulz ahead of Jack given the total youth path we are going down now. Jack has earnt a call-up after good form at Coburg over several.

Who is an absolute mongrel star midfielder who had to train twice as hard as anyone just to make it. We need someone like that.
Kirky, lets get Brett Kirk.

I like the way Kirk plays too and he has reached the holy grail but not sure if I want to watch us play the way the Swans do 22 weeks of the year :P.

Tuesday, May 15 2pm Punt Road Oval
Thursday, May 17 4pm AAMI Stadium
-
A overcast day at Punt Rd but the rain held off until just before the end of training. The session went for about an hour and 20 minutes.
The session began by the squad splitting up into its 4 skill groups - defenders, midfielders, forwards and rucks.
Defenders: Newy, Rainesy, Polak, Joel, JON, Thursty, McGuane, King
The defenders under David King worked on their switching of play and kicking out to the opposite wing.
Midfielders: Lids, Tambo, Edwards, Polo, Sugar, Tuck, Jacko, Tivs, White, Foley, Howat
Rucks: Patto, Graham
The midfielders split in two teams and worked under Royal and Monkhurst on clearances from stoppages (ball-ups)
Forwards: Riewoldt, Richo, Petts, Meyer, Schulz, Krak, Hyde, Hughes
The forwards under Rawlings practiced their leading and passes inside 50. They would often switch across the HF forward line to free up a lead to the other side.
In the Rehab group were: Simmo, Browny, Knobel, Paddy, Harts. Just did handballing.
In the rooms: Peterson, Cass, Connors, Moore
Absent/didn't see: Kingsley, Hall, Cogs, Collins, Clingan
When the whole squad rejoined together Joel just did some running. Joel said there's nothing wrong. It's a short week so he didn't have to do the whole session.
The rest of the session concentrated on rebounding, running and passing drills. Players encouraged to run hard forward in numbers and play a more direct style of footy through the centre switching to a teammate on the other side of the square in space. Of course a lot easier to do with no opposition but the skill level was actually very good. Blingers was on fire.
They finished off with some goalkicking both on the run and set shots. Jack and Lids worked on their contested marking at the end. Maybe a sign Lids may play more forward this week.
Any questions just fire away.

Training today was at a Sunny but coolish Punt Rd. I got there a touch late and there was no rehab group so they may have gone inside. Didn't see Simmo, Browny, Richo, Knobel, Paddy, Razor and Cogs. I didn't notice Cass out there either.
Polo (that's Deano lol) and Hyde trained strongly. As did Collins, Peterson and Kingsley.
The drills today involved plenty of run and carry and playing on quickly at all times. Defensively it was one-on-one. They had a end to end rebound and hit-up drill with black guernseys vs orange tops. Cleve was against McGuane at one end and Jack vs Thursty at the other. Lids was used more as a defensive rebounder today along with Joel. Edwards was running around up against Sugar. The rest rotated through the midfield and between HB and HF lines.
On specific things - there was work on crumbing from a forward contest and quick snaps at goal.
As far as the ruck went, Monkhurst was doing some separate work with Tucky as well as Patto and Polak. Don't be surprised if Tucky does the rucking at boundary throw-ins.
Kingsley practised his set shots away from the main group with a trainer up the Brunton Avenue end.
Training finished up with longer distance foot passing to leading targets and goalkicking.
Any questions just fire away.
-
Were there any indications who will come in more likely, Cleve or Kingsley this week?
How does Peterson look? Does he finally look fit? How's that jump quality he's so well known for going?
How was our kicking?
Any sign of JoN?
Who won more often out of the two duels? (Cleve vs Mcguane and Jack vs Thursty)
Who were the players working on crumbing?
Cheers MT. :clapping

Yeah I have one.
meet anyone interesting down at punt road :lol
-
Were there any indications who will come in more likely, Cleve or Kingsley this week?
Hard to tell. Cleve was with Schulz up against Joel, McGuane, Lids and I think Polak as defenders. At the other end Jack was with Kingsley up against Thursty. We know Jack is definitely playing so does that mean Kingsley will play also or will Cleve and Schulz be our two main forwards as they were up against most of our first team defenders.
Personally tigersalive, I just have a feeling Kingsley will play purely based on having some experience and a bigger body in the forward line.
How does Peterson look? Does he finally look fit? How's that jump quality he's so well known for going?
Peterson did the whole session so he looked fit. Match fit is of course a whole different question. They had a bag for leaping up and knocking the ball down to the ground and crumbers and the one time I saw Peterson do it he did it easily. The boy doesn't need to use his knees.
How was our kicking?
Mostly clean today but that needs to be taken in the context that there was no physical pressure.
Any sign of JoN?
JON did the whole session. His kicking still needs work.
Who won more often out of the two duels? (Cleve vs Mcguane and Jack vs Thursty)
They didn't work on inside 50 passing today. It was mainly one "side" rebounds from deep in defence and run and carry to the HF line and then bombs a up and under to a contest and the other "side" gets the ball and repeats the process the other way. The FFs didn't have a chance to mark the ball. More a case of bringing the ball down ground front and square.
Who were the players working on crumbing?
Krak, Tivs, Edwards, White, Tambo, Jack were a few from memory.
-
Any sign of JoN?
JON did the whole session. His kicking still needs work.
Interesting, he could be a charity pick for the Dreamtime yet. :shh
I hope not but it woulod be a very Terry thing to do. :-\

Yeah I have one.
meet anyone interesting down at punt road :lol
Yeah, some bloke wearing dirty dog sunnies who didn't get kicked out lol ;) :outtahere

Richo and Polo at training so I hear.
According to the bumbers they're only going to worry about what they can control. :)
They did a great job of controlling Richo last time.
-
At training:
Newy, Lids, Raines, Polak, Browny, Jack, Edwards, Joel, Richo, Polo, Petts, Sugar, Kingsley, Meyer, Jacko, Patto, Krak, Tambo, Tivs, White, thursty, Foley, Tuck, Howat, King.
-
Simmo, paddy in rehab. Tuck is resting, doing some handballs with a trainer.
-
Richo still needs medical clearance to play. Plough said they're going inside to find out. If he gets the all clear, he plays.
-
Just had a look - Would say Side will be unchanged.
Polo and Richo did all the work evryone else did.
TW had a word early on to KK and he seemed to go a bit quite after that ?
Like Moi said Tuck just stayed out of it and did handball work.
At the end of the main drills Captain peeed of to the rooms while the rest split up - with KK Richo Jack and petts heading down one end for some shots seperately.
First time seen Jack in flesh and he seems to be a bubbly confident chap (something the side could do with)
Lets see what he is like on Sat night :thumbsup
Would say team would be as named, can any frequent visitors to traing tell me if tuck standing out is unusual (probably only doubt)
Cub reporting from Punt Road :gotigers
-
Tuck hasnt trained all week.
He didnt even do basic drills today, would be very doubtful.
No doubt White is playing.
He and Plough had a long chat alone. All smiles.
-
Plough acted dumb when asked by a Journo about Tucky. "Didn't he train?" lol.
They asked him about Polo but I couldn't hear properly what was said. It sounded as he would play but don't hold me too that. I saw Polo raise his arms during the inclose handball drill so he's probably more probable than not. Only Kingsley and White were there as emergencies (no Hydey). The rest of the squad are apparently playing now with Coburg in today's practice match.
It was a real media circus down at Punt Rd today. They followed Richo everywhere. LOL when Richo went down one end of the ground to do goalkicking practice and by the time the photographers had got down there he then ran back to warm down :lol. After the media left heaps of Tiger fans wanted a photo with Richo in his current state too lol. The right eye still looks a touch swollen but not too bad. He has black rings under both eyes.
-
Plough also gave Jack a big hug from behind as they were walking up the race into the rooms.
As for training itself, it went for about an hour. The drills were Inclose tight handball, short and long footpassing and then finished off with some set-shot goalkicking.
Browny stayed out for about 15 minutes longer after everyone went in and did some goalkicking. He also hopped on his right formerly broken leg a couple times during training. Maybe to show it's now okay. Let's hope so.

Browny did it all plus the extra 15mins.
Btw there should be training reports on Ch 10 news as well as Ch 9. You may hear heavy breathing in the background of the Ch 10 report as the camerman had to run from where Richo was goalkicking back to the race where Plough was interviewed lol.

Richardson trains but still set to miss
May 25, 2007 12:00am
Article from: Agence France-Presse
RICHMOND forward Matthew Richardson successfully completed training but still looks set to miss the Tigers' AFL clash with Essendon tomorrow night.
Richardson is nursing a fractured eye socket sustained when a teammate's boot collected him last weekend, but has been named in the Tigers' side to play at the MCG.
Richmond coach Terry Wallace said medical staff would decide later today on whether the Tigers spearhead would play against the Bombers.
But with heavy bruising still clearly evident on his face as he trained today, it appears more likely Richardson will miss the match so as to not risk further injury.
Former Geelong forward Kent Kingsley is likely to make his debut for the Tigers if Richardson is withdrawn.

Training this week:
Wednesday, May 30 2pm Punt Road Oval
Friday, June 1 11am Punt Road Oval

Training today was a coolish but sunny Punt Rd. It was a full list training session with only Paddy, Razor and Cogs absent. I didn't notice Harts out there either but I might have missed him. Polo, Tambo and Browny did the whole 1.5 hours session.
In rehab were Simmo, Cass, Knobel and Patto and Thursty. It looked like they were only giving the latter two a rest. Knobel and Cass did some straight line running on the Punt Rd side of the ground before joining the others for some handball and kick to kick. We asked the fitness coordinator about Cass and he said he has a low grade hammy which should only see him miss a week. He said it was a shame as Cass had a few setbacks during preseason but before the latest hammy he had had 9 good weeks straight.
Not too much to report training wise. Basically similar to last week. Some rebounding run and carry and foot passing and some one-on-one over the ground work. Probably the only notable difference was there seemed to be more emphasis on the defensive side of our game as team with focus on players pushing back to fill the space of the opposition's key forward. Maybe a plan for Jonathan Brown. If I'm not mistaken I think Monky was acting as the forward. David King would yell out to the defenders to work as a team. I noticed Edwards got told once what was he doing and to get back and he hurrily ran back into defence to the spot between the ball coming in from the wing and the forward. Apart from that the gameplan for this week looks pretty similar to last week - keep the ball moving quickly and take them on.
Any questions just fire away.

I don't have a problem with us being extra cautious with Simmo. We should've done it the first time with Simmo instead of rushing him back for the Pies game.

To win a game at the moment that's very true Mopsy but we're not going to make the finals so no point bringing Simmo back early only for him to break down again. More important that he's ankle is 100% right for preseason training and 2008.

I agree with you entirely MT. I am sure that is the feeling at the club also. I expect Knobel will be back into the side before Simmo.

SEN just said everyone got through training this morning and got the all clear. So Browny will play tomorrow for Coburg ressies.

Yes Channel 10 showed Browny training with the main group. Big focus also on Richo (don't know about those black tights though :-X)

I caught the last bit of training today. The time was changed to 10am and they only did a light session (about an hour if that).
Browny got through and was practising his goalkicking after everyone had gone inside. So he seems to have got through another game without any problems. Craig McRae reckons he's right for a return to AFL.
Simmo was given a good run around after training too. David King, Rawlings and one of the trainers got him doing some ruck taps, contested marking, kick to kick running around. Looks to me that he is ready to go again. It's probably good we have the midseason break now. Simmo can play for Coburg this weekend and depending on how much gametime he gets and how well he pulls up he could even be close to playing against the Dees. If not then definitely the week after going by how he was moving today.
Knobel too got through training. Probably another playing for Coburg this weekend. Not sure how Coburg will go with 4 ruckman lol - Simmo and Knobel joining Ronaldson and Gus.
Newy was in casuals watching from the race. Obviously told to rest this week with his ribs/back injury.

Just got back from a cold and wet Punt Rd. Training went for about an hour and 40mins.
Absent: Knobel, Hall, Paddy, Cogs and Collins.
Connors, Moore and Cass were in rehab. Connors had a noticable limp. Moore looked like he had one too walking up the race. Clingan was in his training gear as well but didn't join the main group.
Polo was training so he hasn't had his op yet. Didn't do any contact stuff so I'm not sure what's happening with him. He, Newy, Kingy and those that played a full game with Coburg on Sunday only did half the session.
As for main training they began with handball drills in lines of 4. The ball was rolled along the ground and then each line of 4 had to handball from one to the other across the line. I don't think the boys were use to cold wet weather as there was a few fumbles to begin with but the drill improved as they went along. They then remained in their 4 rows for short passing kick to kick.
For the next drill they stood in groups on the corner of the centre square and ran in pairs diagonally. While one player passed the footy, the other had to sprint to get front and sqaure to the marking player and then receive and dish off a handball to the next pair.
Those that played a full game on Sunday then went their separate ways. The remainder played a two 10-min quarter 11 vs 11 scratch match. I didn't keep scores but it was about 2 goals each. Petts and Krak for the blacks and Richo and Sugar (I think) for the yellows.
In one forward line we had Raines on Browny, Polak on Kingsley and Lids on Petts. The other had Richo and Hughes up forward against Joel and Thursty. Simmo and Patto contested the ruck. The rest rotated through the middle.
After the scratch match, Simmo and Patto joinedd Graham to do some ruck practice with Monkhurst. The rest then did a rebound drill and hitting a lead from the goalsquare. I had to head off so I didn't much of this.
-
Forgot to mention as showed on Ch 10 news that Patto piffed a footy at Richo as a gag and got him square on the honker giving the big fella a blood nose. Richo is okay though. Lucky he didn't get hit in the crook eye.
-
Is that the "scare for Tiger Matthew Richardson" they are mentioning on Sports Tonight? Stupid Pettifer - hope Richo biffs him one.
-

Yep that's the one Julz. And it was Patto not Petts ;). Richo slung Patto by the guernsey to the ground in a tackle and Patto responded by piffing a ball back as Richo walked away. Richo turned around and "whack" on his nose :wallywink. Everyone else saw the funny side of it except Richo who was reaching for a towel to stop his blood nose.
-
Begging Pettifer's pardon. But a ball in the face hurts at the best of times, least when you have a fractured eye socket and broken nose.
-
So anyone do training on tue or today - what's the story with Polo - is he training ...
-
Just got back from training today.
Squad of 25:
Newy, Lids, Raines, Simmo, Polak, Browny, Edwards, Joel, Richo, Petts, Sugar, Kingsley, Tuck, Jacko, Patto, Krak, Tambo, Hyde, Tivs, Hughes, White, Thursty, Foley, Howat and King.
No Polo.
Training went for about 30-40 minutes. They were meant to start at 2pm but didn't get onto the track until nearly 3pm.
Pretty much did the same things as on Tuesday. Handballing across in lines, handballing in tight and kick to kick passing over short and long distances. A fairly standard training session.
Royal was interviewed afterwards. There should be news reports by all main tv and radio stations. Royal said Simmo despite training today will still play with Coburg this weekend. Browny right to go and will start on the ground. A journo asked if Terry was extra excited this week seeing Browny is back. Royal replied in what way? ;D. He then said we're all excited to have him back. Between Joel, Polak or Thursty on who gets Robertson. They asked about Pickett and will our mids match the physicality. Royal said yes and Pickett will have to chase one of our young guys around too.
Any questions just fire away :).

Training today was from a cold and very wet Punt Rd oval. Normally Wednesday training goes for an hour and a half but given the weather it was cut down to about 30 minutes and no footys were involved. Just running. No point practicing in the wet and someone doing a hammy when we're playing at the Dome on Saturday Night. Better off training indoors.
All they did was a few straight runs from one goal to the other and then a couple of laps around the boundary. It was during this that Petts struggled to keep up and was trailing badly off the back of the group in last place. He could do no more than a jog. Petts went over to the trainer and they walked off into the rooms. They way he was moving he looks in doubt this week. All depends if he trains Friday.
As for who was there. Most of the senior players were absent. Simmo only did some ruckwork practice. Lids, Raines, Polak, Edwards, Riewoldt, Petts (before injured), Kingsley, Tuck, Jacko, Peterson, Hyde, Hughes, White, Casserly, Connors, Moore, Foley, Howat, Graham and King trained. As they were heading into the rooms after training, Whitey and Kingy entertained the rest of the group body-sliding in the mud ;D.
JON and Connors then came out for some kick to kick after the others had finished.
-
thank you. Connors is a bit of show pony. Like his aggressive nature. Jon will be good in time. Petts is no real concern even if he is out. ;)
-
Whitey and Kingy entertained the rest of the group body-sliding in the mud ;D.
:lol
Any word on what Petts has done? :-\
-
general soreness Steph.
-
Any word on what Petts has done? :-\
It's not a hammy as he kept jogging and completed the boundary run. If it is general soreness then they probably would chuck him in an ice bath :-X.

yep: That will test his heart the scarecrow that he is.

Hows Clingan coming along. Killed em in the finals last year. A Dean Laidley type they believe. Good contested mark for his height.

I'll delete this later, MT, so that your training report thread (the best in the business) is not overrun by vermin, sorry, I meant extraneous material.
My fault Gordon, I posted a link to OER on Bigfooty lol :rollin

Playing Coburg ressies at the moment as he's still light-on. There's a couple of people here who rate him highly. It didn't look like Tas trained today. Connors was wearing #45 IIRC.
-
Training today was at a then sunny Punt Rd Oval. Only a short session on Fridays. Went for about 45 minutes.
Most of the list was in attendance. Only the injured boys were absent - Knobel, Polo, Paddy, Hall, Cogs, Krak and Collins. Pettifer and McGuane did the whole session so they're fine. Browny, Simmo and Sugar did about half the session but they're okay too. Just pacing their bodies.
Royal said Browny pulled up well from last week's match and they are hoping by round 22 Browny will have gained enough match fitness to play a full game as well as playing further up the ground.
They did mostly run and carry stuff running in 2s and 3s today. Obviously done with the Dome in mind. Finished off with goalkicking on the run.
Joel in having a shot accidentally hit a kid standing behind the goals flush in the head. He watched for a while as the kid's dad picked the kid (in tears) up then ran down and checked if the kid was alright and patted him on the head. The kid was back smiling by the end of training so Joel saved the day.
The comic relief of the day was provided by Jade Rawlings who decided to go for a speccie over the bag after Richo and Patto had had a go and went for a sixer ;D :wallywink.

Just got back from a sunny but cold Punt Rd Oval. Training started at 11am and went for about an hour and a half. The centre wicket area was such a mudheap that it was almost like a skating rink. You could see the boys watching their feet so not to end up in it.
The actual training was of quite a high standard especially as there was a number of pressure drills rather than the usual circle work. Not all good news though. Hyde hobbled off with some sort of leg/knee injury midway through. Richo is still hampered by that ankle he twisted late in the St Kilda game. He was doing some jogging kick to kick but midway through the session he too limped off into the rooms. He came back out 15 minutes late but couldn't jog and only did some handball work with Wayne Johnston before watching the remainder of the session.
In the rehab group were Knobel, Cogs and Collins. Cogs and Knobel just did some handball with Collins and Patto for about 20-30 mins. Cogs was swamped by the mass of kids watching training as he went up the race. Collins also did some boundary running. The only absentees were Razor and Polo. Krak didn't train. He appeared briefly and was still limping due to his ankle injury. Don't think he'll be back this week.
As for the main group they did a number of drills today. They firstly had Robbie Kearns down from the Storm again for some tackling practice as well as handballing under pressure drills. The senior players weren't required to do this so Sugar, Newy, Simmo, Richo, Kingsley did some non-contact running kick to kick and handball receiving. They were joined by Browny and Cass. Next up was the usual run and carry in 3s drills except today each group had a "defender" putting pressure on them. Good stuff. They finished off with stoppage work (ball-ups and throw ins) with the squad split in two on each side of the ground and each group subsequently split into opposing teams. Each team had to work the ball and eventually kick it to or through a marked square. Once again pretty well done and good to see pressure based drills on our kicking and handballing in our training. Overdue. Obviously designed with North in mind this week who are a physical side. Just a note on Danny here. He actually trained well and his work in tight in the stoppages was very clean and smart and he didn't wait off the pack for a soft possession either. Maybe at Coburg they should try him as a inside player instead of on a HFF and see how he goes.
The highlight of the day was a friendly stouch between Newy and Howat. After Howat got Newy a bit high in a tackle and brought him to ground, Newy rolled on top and pinned Cam to the ground with his arm. As they got up Cam kept hold of Newy's jumper and then picked up his cap and chucked a Newy. Nothing malice in it but it gave everyone a laugh :lol.
Any questions just fire away :cheers
-
Here's some pics from training. They say Richo slipped over before limping off.

I forgot to mention that there was a round of applause when Terry had the boys huddled together at one stage. Not sure if that means any unforced changes this week.

Sorry I didn't hear any whispers of ins Babsky. Just the round of applause and Hyde and possibly Richo under a cloud at this stage. Craig McRae praised virtually every RFC player who played at Coburg in the EOTT section on the RFC site.

Thanks

It won't be Cass. Only played a half for Coburg ressies on the weekend and Craig McRae said they plan to build up his fitness levels so he'll play a full game for Coburg ressies this week.
It might be Peterson making his debut for Coburg seniors but that would be just a guess. I don't know.
-
MT you need to get into Terry's ear about Meyer, your solution might be exactly what he needs
There are still rumours flying around that Danny is unhappy with the coach and wants to head back to SA. I heard it again today from a supporter who said she heard it from 3 or 4 other people. But there was no signs today of him being unhappy. McRae praised his tackling pressure for directly leading to two Coburg goals in EOTT so why not chuck him in the guts (in spurts if need be if he can't last there a full game).

Friday's training is at Punt Road Oval at 11am

Training today was at a overcast Punt Rd. The session went for about an hour. School holidays meant there were heaps of kids there. Probably a crowd of around 150 all up. Richo and Browny stayed 10 minutes stuck in the race after training signing autographs. Poor buggers lol.
I didn't notice any rehab group today. Connors mainly and Clingan did some training on their own. Simmo did half the session. None of the full length of the ground rebounding drills; just the shorter handball and foot-passing ones.
Newy, Rainesy, Simmo, Polak, Browny, Jack, Edwards, Joel, Richo, Petts, Sugar, Tuck, Meyer, Jacko, Sarge, Patto, JON, Tambo, Hyde, Tivs, Harts, Thursty, McGuane, Moore, Foley, Howat and Kingy trained. So the squad of 25 plus JON and Meyer.
Nothing much to report training wise. Just the standard drills.
David King was interviewed after training but it was hard to hear much of it from the other side of the fence and what I did hear wasn't anything new anyway.

the worst thing abot being the worst run club in the afl, and having the worst on field record for the last 25 years is the fact that I have lost interst in this shambles, I would usually look to go to training, but to be honest, at the moment, I could spend my time better elsewhere
What a fricking joke of a club we are!

Thursday's session is at Punt Road I believe :thumbsup
-
They were deciding b/w Punt Rd and Gosch's Paddock up until the last moment but eventually by 2.50pm decided on Gosch's paddock. A sunny day but cold. The Session went for about an hour and a half.
Quite a big squad. Lids, Cogs and Collins were in rehab. All did some ball work and running. Knobs was around the place too. Lids had a blue plaster bandage around the base of his thumb. The only absentees were Polo and Razor. I can't remember seeing Kingsley but I was chatting away with a couple of people during the session so I may have missed him out there. Most of the boys were wearing different numbers to what they usually wear too.
The squad did a number of different drills today. While McRae went through some specific things such as weaving with our younger mids - Tambo, Edwards, Meyer, Jacko, JON, Harts, White, Howat IIRC - on one wing and Tuck and a couple of others on the oppositie wing, the rest of the squad worked in their inside 50 passing from a huddle defensive side of the centre.
Next up were a few handball drills. The first repeatingly getting your arms up and free as you got tackled and then dishing off. They then redid it with picking the ball off the ground then dishing off while being tackled. They then spread out into two groups either side of the square and ran lines of 3 on 1 handball with emphasis on a give and go handball. They spreaded out between goallines next to add a kick on the chain of handballs through the centre. Skill level so far was pretty clean IMO although it should be under no physical pressure.
The squad then finished off with a mini scratch match of sorts. Best thing I could say of this is we trained the way we played :-\.
If you have any questions just fire away.

Really MT, that's not good enough. We want total dedication and focus! ;D ;D

MT
I am interested to know when the last time you saw Ray Hall at training?
I know its forgone that he will be given the flick, but there is obviously more to the story with this one.
-
Ray Hall is gone you will find
-
Jack is right. Razor has a chronic hip problem. He's gone but he hasn't retired so we can put him on the long-term injury list and keep Kingy from going back onto the rookie list. Remember Peterson is now off the long-term injury list and playing. Our long-term injury list and corresponding rookie promotions are Cogs -> Howat, Hall -> Kingy, Polo -> Graham.
Really MT, that's not good enough. We want total dedication and focus! ;D ;D
;D
Some good frank discussion about where we are at too ;). At time makes Jack here seem like an enternal optimist :lol.

Did anyone get down to training this afternoon...MT?
-
Yep I did Babsky.
Training today was again at Gosch's Paddock as Punt Rd Oval was too wet to train on. The session lasted around 75 minutes. Sheesh it was blowing a gale. To kick a goal at the end of the training the players had to aim their kick at the left point post (as opposed to goalpost) to float it through for a goal. Richo was still able to hit the right goalpost :wallywink.
Cogs, Kingsley and Collins were in the rehab group. Absent were Knobel, Polo, Razor, Tuck, Meyer and Tas. I was again in deep discussion about our list so my attention was distracted. I think we had half the list going by the end of training ;D.
Not much to report in terms of the drills. The fairly usual circle work today. McRae was spending time with our younger mids.
Hutchy was there from Channel 9 so there'll probably be some grab on the news tonight.
-
Cheers for that - where is Gosch's Paddock?
-
Tuck injured then???
Maybe he wont play against Sydney? :woohoo
Connors, Cass and Graham all training, any indication of debuts??
JoN as well?

Tuck has been carrying a niggle/injury all year apparently.
Wallace walked off talking away to Tambo. No indication of any debuts. A bloke I know at training asked Plough a couple of questions but Terry was guarded and wouldn't give anything away. They travel up to Sydney Friday morning and train that day. Connors, Cass and JON all trained. Cass looked really sharp. I don't remember seeing Gus (hard to miss you'd reckon lol) but as I said I was chatting away.

He's still fighting that niggle!? :o
jeepers give guy a week or two off then to get it right and give Krak a real midfield crack!
Good to hear Cass was sharp. I really hope he plays.
-
Why persist with players who are not 100% fit, especially if they aren't playing well either?
-
cause Wallace is going down the Geishein path of playing injured players & damaging thier careers
-
Why persist with players who are not 100% fit, especially if they aren't playing well either?
We'd only just a fill a squad of 25. Simmo and Browny are clearly underdone, Tuck's got a niggle, Tambo plays with a strapped shoulder plus all those either coming back from injury or out.

They must be going to blockade off Punt Rd. The only way you could have a closed session there ???.
-
Training today was at a overcast Punt Rd Oval. The session as usual for Fridays before a game was short. About 45 minutes to an hour long. Not much to report as far as drills. The senior squad of 25 trained first to about noon then those playing with Coburg followed afterwards. They were still going when I left.
Lids did the whole session so I reckon he'll play and there'll be no late changes as far as I know.
Cogs, Knobel, Collins, Tas and Polo were in the rehab group. Polo was doing boundary laps while holding his right arm (the shoulder that had the surgery) immobile and close to his body. Tas was wearing one of those moonboots on his right foot. Mostly did some handball with Knobel. Cogs and Collins were moving around. I was told by someone today that on Tuesday Cogs was kicking the footy with his right foot (his right knee is the reco one) so that's a good sign. Remember he was using his left a fair bit before he did his knee the first time due to his OP.
-
I forgot to mention that some Tiger supporter from a company in Ascot Vale called visual concepts IIRC has done this incredible painting of Richo marking on his chest on a lead. A mate of his brought it to training today and got Richo to sign it. Not sure if it'll be put up for auction but everyone watching training wanted to take it home with them lol. The guy that got it signed said there's also a painting of Petts taking a screamer.

Not sure where Caro got her info last night on footy classified but there was no torrid training session today. Just probably a couple of drills with more intensity and pressure on the bloke with the footy but overall you're usual training with the assistant coaches taking different drills.
I'll post more soon.
-
For anybods interested.
2 and a dingbat watching training, and no I wasn't the dingbat ???
Got there at 14:00 and sat in the cold wind for 30 minutes or so and watched half a dozen come out and stretch, play kick to kick.
Collins JON Schulz Peterson White Newman and Coughlan.
14:40 All come out a squad of 37.
Newman Tuck Johnson and McGaune stay out of main sessions and just handball drills.
Newman dissappeared sometime before 15:15, not to return while I was there.
Others split into three groups and Do various handball tackling drills under pressure.
One group lining up opposite each other.
The other 2 divided into orange/green and simulated handball drills.
Groups swapped around after 10 or so minutes.
Not bad a lot of loud talk.
15:15 Squad divided into 4 groups positioned on edge of square with 3 in the middle, where the middle group had to try and intercept while the outer groups passed.
Pulled out to the boundaries in the end with 7 in the middle.
15:20 Cogs had dissapeared but turned up again and hopped on a bike fro the rest of the time I was there.
Coaches got out the board and had, by the looks of it definite matchups they wanted.
Squad divided into 4 groups 2 Orange and 2 Richmond. 1 squad in the centre with Richo and Joel in the square at one end and Tambling and someone else the other (couldn't make it out as I was to far away), while the other squad did runthroughs. The squad in the middle did match simulation. Passing into the forwards at either end.
Funny thing was Joel was not tagging or trying to spoil Richo but leading for the mark, having a couple of shots at goal also ?
03:40 Had to get back to work as the group teamed of for some type of kick to kick.
Just as I was leaving Rawlings called in the forwards (usual suspects) but also called over Polak. Hmmmmm
Sorry couldn't srtay any longer, but that's what I saw.
Not quite an OER wrap, but I try my best :whistle
Ohh - a few seemed to go up and give collins a pat at the start of the session.

So u were there, thought maybe not with the amount of ppl there :)

It was a overcast and windy day at Punt Rd. The session was meant to start at 2pm but didn't get underway until 2.40pm. Whitey, JON and Peterson came out first for some goalkicking with the ball swinging a fair way left to right. The first few shots were floaters so us by the fence near them were yelling out to kick low and through the ball. We spoke to one of the trainers prior to the sqaud coming out and he said you could cut the air with a knife inside the rooms so perhaps Plough leaves his blasts for behind closed doors.
In rehab today were Simmo, Newy, Sugar and McGaune. Mostly they did some handball with Sugar and McGuane doing some light running as well. Presumably all carrying something and having a light week. Simmo hurt his shoulder 2 weeks ago so that may explain why he was away from the main group.
Cogs was on the bike for a while on the boundary. They only other absentees were those on the injury list.
They main squad split in two first of all. Royal took one group for the drill where they roll the ball along the ground and the player who picks it up gets his arms up and free from the tackler and handballs away. The other group under King and Rawlings wore lime and orange tops and contested as teams playing keepings off via handball. A few nice tackles but everyone got through it without incident.
They then came together for the footpassing drills with players in the middle trying to put pressure on the kicker. Richo's first one went flying off the side of his boot lol. A couple of stray kicks which isn't a surprise but at least the kicking was done under some applied pressure rather than the no-pressure circle work which was too follow for the longer kicks and handball receiving.
Lids looked like he dislocated a finger on his left hand but was fine after some treatment from a trainer .
Mark Robinson from the Herald-Sun was there watching training. A bloke I sometimes watch training with asked him if we had any chance this week. Robinson said nup, Collingwood plays with spirit.
The only naturally vocal Tiger is Jack. You can clearly hear his voice from the stands encouraging the group to be more vocal.
Any questions just fire away.
-
So u were there, thought maybe not with the amount of ppl there :)
I was with our small group where by the end of training we have about 35 players going at the end of the year :lol.

I forgot to mention that the assistant coaches and especially David King were yelling out to the boys during one of the footpassing drills to be more daring and to take more risks. Sounds as though we'll go head to head with the Pies this week.

Tired Tiger: Jay Schulz and teammates were feeling the pain at yesterday's training session. Picture: Andrew Tauber
Wallace losing patience
08 August 2007 Herald Sun
Mark Robinson
RICHMOND coach Terry Wallace says he's not feeling the pressure, but unquestionably he's feeling the frustration.
One win and a draw from 18 games finally took its toll on the coach on Saturday, and it's believed several senior players were firmly in his sights post-match.
His anger has subsided somewhat as he prepares for Collingwood on Friday night, but, still, yesterday's training session wasn't a walk in the park.
It wasn't the gut-buster tipped, but testing nevertheless. Wallace allowed his assistants to run the program, while he moved among his players for one-on-one discussion.
Pained faces were mixed with plenty of enthusiasm, and only skipper Kane Johnson, Chris Newman and Troy Simmonds were spared the rigours. They didn't train.

Just goit back from training at a overcast Punt Rd Oval. A very short and light session that went from 2pm to about 2.40pm.
Present at training were the 22 from last week plus Patto, Hyde, Krak, Jacko and Moore. As mentioned in the changes this week thread Hyde was doing a fitness test after training. Moore was part of the backline group with Joel discussing things with Newy, Raines, Polak, Kingy, McGuane and Thursty.
Others there in rehab were Cogs, Collins, Tas (no moonboot) and Harts (with moonboot on right foot).
As far as training goes, expect a fairly open game tomorrow night with less handball. Today they were kicking to each by foot then dishing one handball to a teammate running past at pace who would then footpass to someone leading up further up the ground. It might have taken until 4 week to go but the K.I.S.S. policy might come into force tomorrow night. The remainder of the session was goalkicking with Simmo, Patto and Gus working on ruckwork with Monkhurst.
Any questions just fire away.

There's been talk MT about Simmonds carrying a bit of a shoulder - any news there

The only thing I know WP is that Simmo has been carrying a shoulder for the past couple of weeks and was in the rehab group on Tuesday and didn't do much today.

Great work MT :clapping

Just as I was leaving Rawlings called in the forwards (usual suspects) but also called over Polak. Hmmmmm
Nice little get that one - I must say :whistle

Training today was at a sunny Punt Road oval. The session wasn't as long as usual midweek sessions. Started at about 2.30pm and when for just over an hour. A much happier mood amongst supporters after a win too.
In the rehab group were Harts (still with moonboot), Polo (didn't use his crook arm), Cogs (although he later joined the main group), Thursty, McGuane and Sugar. Cogs, Polo, Thursty and McGaune did laps. Tas also appeared from the rooms later on. No sign of Meyer. I was told he was still on crutches yesterday so hard to see him back again this year if true :(. Of course no Simmo, Gus, Razor or Knobel. I don't remember Kingsley being out there either.
The drills were pretty much the standard ones. Some team orientated contesting stuff first followed by full ground and back run and carry with goalkicking to finish off. Cogs joined the main group in the latter two.
As for clues to the Eagles game we'll pretty much try to copy the way we played against the Pies. Plenty of focus on accountable 1-on-1 work and longer direct kicking. Mark, dish off handball to someone running past and bang.
Any questions just fire away.

Thanks as always for the report MT.
Danny Meyer has gotten injured at the wrong time of the season.
Hard to see him staying at Richmond next year.

Being out of contract at Oct 31 means we could lose him for nothing in return. You'd reckon Danny will only survive if he wants to stay and because he's still young and there are others ahead of him on the chopping block who are older.

I couldn't care less if he walked out.
Good luck to a Sth Aussie club if they can get anything out of him.
Doesn't have the drive that Rodan showed IMO
What a wasted of a draft pick. :(.
I think he's finished playing AFL and I'll be surprised if another club picks him up.

You may be very well right Magic but I've just got a feeling that unless Danny tells the club he's out of here he'll get one more chance and rocket. Once you take Gas, Hall, Knobel, Kingsley, Moore and Hartigan (that's 6 already) Meyer will be competing along with other iffys Howat, Paddy, Krak and Schulz to stay. He's the youngest of 5 iffys and given the lack of depth of the draft it'll be hard to see us delist say more than 8 players.

Don't agree on this one MT.
He was given a one year deal as a rocket at the end of last season.
Do we want to do that again on what he has/n't show this season?
He had a pathetic preseason and it's continued through to the season proper.
He has gone backwards when he should have been progressing and shown zero signs of improvement or desire. Been over taken by first year players easily.
He does not deserve another contract on the basis of potential.
We have been down that road with Krakouer(and burned) and he showed infinitely more ability at a similar stage than what DM has to date.
The only rocket Meyer will get is if he's delisted.
Only then might he show some desire to get his career back on track and unfortunately that will be with another club if it happens at all which I seriously doubt.
Personally I don't think he's got what it takes to be a quality AFL player.
Wallace would have been bending over to play him yet he's been unable to force his way into the wooden spoon side which also happens to be one of the worst Richmond teams ever.
He's skinny(still). Can't win the footy. Shows little hunger. Don't know what position he's best at. Barely dominated a a game at the lower level. ???????????
Sometimes you just have to cut your loses and admit to a mistake.
If we can't trade him I hope the pretender gets punted.
-
No probs disagreeing Magic. I would say nearly everyone here would agree with what you've said about Danny and the reasons why he should be given the flick.
Sometimes you just have to cut your loses and admit to a mistake.
This is true but it could also be the very reason why the club won't want to delist him unless he wants to head back home to SA. Clubs don't like to admit mistakes with their first round picks. Remember Petts did sweet bugger all in his first 4 years and Fiora was given 5 years before traded.

What's the go with Patrick Bowden and Kent Kingsley?

Pat's not fit enough.
Kent is injured.

The only thing that might save him is the number of players that would go before him.
Still that's not much of a reason.
I have zero expectations that he will ever do anything at Richmond.

Yep. Paddy playing for Coburg this weekend.

Would it be right to assume MT that Paddy became incredibly lazy whilst injured??
It shouldnt take a bloke that long to return to match fitness, even minimum for AFL.

Paddy was dropped from the side at the start of the season and then copped the hip injury a week or two after that. So the "laziness" came before the injury. He was out injured for almost 3 months (mid April - early July) so that would effect his match fitness. Despite a bag of 4 goals at Coburg since returning he hasn't deserved in his 4 games at Coburg a call up to Richmond. Not consistent enough.
-
Delist at the end of the year?
-
Meyer should stay for another 12 months. Stick the kid on a hbf. Atleast we know he can use the footy properly.
-
Delist at the end of the year?
Paddy or Danny Julz?
Both will be on their last chance if they are lucky enough to survive. Most Tiger supporters would have Magic's view of Meyer with Paddy not far behind.

Not fearful of Meyer doing a Rodan if delisted.
DRod always had the drive to suceed, you'd have to stick Danny with a hot poker to get him interested.
-
the difference is Rodan is a duel Morrish Medalist best & fairest AFL U18's
Meyer is not AFL standard but is a good footballer

Training times for this week:
Thursday, August 23 4pm Punt Road Oval
Saturday, August 25 10am Punt Road Oval

Paddy spent a bit of time down back on the weekend. Certainly looks more dangerous up forward for the Burgers IMHO
In his defence - his injury was severe - couldn't really train at all for 2+ months. Then every time he tried to up the tempo at training the hip injury would flare again
Will interestng to see what they do with him - personally I reckon they'll keep as a backup forward
As for Danny - really don't know what to do there
-
if i had to delist 1 player out of ... Meyer, P Bowden or Jay ...
it will be P Bowden ...
-

I wouldn't be de-listing any of them until after trade time ;)
Jay's contracted (I think) so as a de-listing he'd be safe
The other 2 out of contract - MEyer is tradeable, Bowden P, not so sure

Training today was at a sunny Punt Rd Oval. A good day to stand and watch training which went for 2 hours.
Sugar, Foley, McGuane, Cogs and Simmo were initially in rehab before the first four joined the main group after the tackling drills. Harts, Collins and Tas also made an appearance later on. Harts didn't have his moonboot on. The only absentees were those injured - Kingsley, Hall. Edit: I didn't see Meyer but he must have been out there as he's been named this week.
A bloke from Melbourne Storm was there to go through some one-on-one tackling drills. The remainder of the session was based around run and carry and a fair bit of goalkicking on the run.
Our little group had a long talk with Greg Miller so I wasn't paying to much attention to training today. More on that later in other threads.
Sounds as though Schulz is in but we'll find out in a few minutes anyway.

Training today was at a Sun covered Punt Road oval. A pretty short and light session for a Wednesday one. It only went for about an hour. The squad basically did some close-in handball work under pressure followed by the usual full ground run, kick, mark, dish off rebound and attack work with passing to a leading forward in space. Lids hurt his shoulder tackling little Edwards but was okay after a couple of minutes and a few swings of the arm.
In Rehab today were Simmo, Collins, Cogs, Kingy, Thursty and Polo. Harts was there at the start but I didn't notice him after that. Kingy was chatting to a trainer and his ankle, pressing it into the ground and discussing how he felt. Friday's session will tell more if he is right to play. The rest did some kick to kick and Cogs did some 200m runs. Tucky didn't do any of the contested handball drills.
On bikes towards the end of training were Gus, Clingan, Meyer and Collins. Cass and Peterson were outside someone told me and Peterson caught a cab. The RFC players with Coburg train later tonight. Only saw Hyde and Paddy from last week's Coburg game training with Richmond.
Training finished off with goalkicking. Tucky was practising his torps. Got onto a couple of them too.
-
I forgot to mention yesterday at the end of the lighthearted training session all the coaches were have sprint races against each other, even Plough. Mad Monday starting early :yep. Monky just grabbed Chocco by the back of his top as they were running and pulled him back lol.
-
who won?
-
who won?
It looked like McRae did.

Training today was at a windy Punt Road Oval. Only the squad of 25 trained today and only a light session for about an hour. As mentioned in the other thread Connors was training instead of Sarge. We sat near the St Kilda spy so we started talking about who we would like to pick up from the Saints ;D. He wouldn't have seen anything out of the ordinary anyway. Pretty much we're sticking to the 1-on-1 running gameplan of the past month.
Royal did a short media interview so that may be on the news tonight. We were too far to hear what was said.
We bumped into Knobel who was watching training in his casuals and he said he's off to Queensland the day after the Grand Final. We also saw JON and wished him luck in the VFL finals. He said he and those at Coburg are looking forward to it. You forget how tall he is until he's standing next to supporters.
Our little group of supporters had a little pow-wow by the race. I don't think those inside liked what we were saying as they shut the door :lol. Even Richo had a peak through the window. He must have thought bloody lunatic supporters lol.

That's a good question GB. Terry has said in the past he doesn't like leaving players waiting to know about their future if they will be cut so they can get on with their lives (Gas might beg to differ though). However with Coburg in the finals he may wait before making a final decision. We won't know anyway unless there's a leak (by the player directly or indirectly) or a certain captain blabbers it out at our B&F lol :wallywink. No decision needs to be made until Oct 31 and usually clubs keep quiet with trade week coming up in a month's time in case they can score a useful trade.

Richmond has asked its players with one to four years' experience to resume on October 25. The rest of the list will resume on November 7.
Bullies start on Monday. Players are allowed an eight-week break under the Collective Bargaining Agreement, but the Dogs coaching staff has asked the bulk of its list back early.
Bombers are back on November 7.

Some of the players are returning today, but officially all the players return to the club on the 12th of November.
They will be training from now on but the trainings aren't for the Public to attend just yet. When Public Training sessions available they will be posted on our Website. But at the moment they are all closed training sessions.
-
if you a trainer just turn up
l hope they train hard on them weights :thumbsup

Most likely training at the moment is fitness tests, skinfold test and a tan run to test to see if the boys have came back from their season-break in good shape. After last year you'd hope so.

Our younger to mid-age blokes have been doing tan runs and training at Punt Rd including some ball work.
There were 5 blokes doing some 100m and 200m runs at Punt Rd today but they didn't look like any of ours and weren't wearing Richmond gear. Looked more like 17-18 year olds from Hailebury and Brighton Grammar by the jumpers they were wearing.

Here's a preseason training report (last Wednesday) from BF:
Not really a report as such, but just some tidbits for any rabid Tigers fans out there.
Strolled down and had a look at the Tigers doing some pre-season work last Wednesday.
- No sign of Richo or Brown.
- Raines looked incredibly fit.
- Foley spent the entire time I was there (about 40 mins), sprinting from one end of the ground to the other. Seemed to have about 1 min rest in between. He was under the watchful eye of a running coach who was giving him advice about spending too much time on his right leg whilst running.
He looked really, really fit.
- Joining him was Kayne Pettifer. He was about 60 metres behind him each time and was really battling. Perhaps Wallace wants to push him up into the midfield this year?
- David King appeared to run the session.
- They were very vocal and seemed pretty serious.

According to Nick's Pies' forum, Richmond trained at Victoria Park yesterday morning.

Was told today that there'll be no public training sessions prior to Christmas (excluding the fans' night). They want to give the players their privacy.

But maybe they want to keep the poor fans away so the players don't receive too much adulation ;D

To be fair, if I was a club official I'd be a bit sick of some of the supporters. Justifiably too. After last season I'm sure they could do without the agro. The supporters need to take some responsibility for shaping the way the club treats and interacts with us. It's a two way street and most of us are old enough and ugly enough to take responsibility for our actions. I know I am (especially the ugly bit ;D ).
This is not a criticism of anyone specifically or any of the posters on this board.

It's a two way street and most of us are old enough and ugly enough to take responsibility for our actions. I know I am (especially the ugly bit ;D ).
This is not a criticism of anyone specifically or any of the posters on this board.
Im not sure what you mean because I cant make it to trainings, Im a tad too far away, but surely One private session and one public would suffice.
Why punish the few bad eggs for all the other supporters who just want to see how their team is coming along?

I mean that a lot of what they say and do is criticised and they have been hung drawn and quartered by some for being too open at the beginning of last year. The media also like to get stuck in too. I am not surprised that they may want to just get on with it without having to justify every move they make. I agree it is a shame that a few wreck it for the rest of us but that's just how it is. I couldn't imagine what it would be like to turn up to work and the next day see a whole lot of criticism about the job I did in the paper and on the TV with 50 so called experts having an opinion about the program I just wrote. Admittedly software development doesn't attract the same media scrutiny as footy, nor do I expect many bulletin boards to be set up about the software package I develop or expect to see many "RROFO has no idea how to design a class hierarchy" threads. I also doubt anyone will dump a load of chicken poo on my companies doorstep if I introduce a bug in the software. I count myself lucky. ;D

You rarely see club officials at training though. Miller, Francis Jackson and the Flea would make brief appearances now and then. It was only one time towards the end of the season that we got to question Greg at length which was good of him.
I feel sorry more for the players who get swamped after every training session especially from "fans" who just want to collect signatures for ebay ::). So I can understand the "privacy" line from that respect. Still I've never seen any abuse towards the players at training (unlike after actual games) and next week I'm sure supporters would've liked to have seen the new kids picked up in the draft running around at training.
-
The club might want to keep preseason training sessions quiet but nothing stops our intrepid OER reporters from getting to watch preseason training ;D.
The session went well and Terry was pleased with it. Most of the senior list were present from what I saw.
Newbies
I didn't recognise a number of the extras but I did see Fanning (5), Zomer (20 - KPP from Eastern Ranges), Silvester (16), Horne and Collard. Richards was there also I think. There were about 3 others i didn't recognise (1 tall wearing 48 and 2 smalls)
Not a newbie but Howat was there also.
Cotchin (wearing 38) and Putt (wearing 13) were there also. A mate I watch at training with mentioned if he didn't know who Cotchin was he would've thought he'd been in the system 3-4 years already.
Rance I believe is flying to Melbourne tonight and will be at training Wednesday.
Here's a link to what Zomer looks like and his profile: http://rangesfc.com.au/content.aspx?page=PlayerProfile&Player=258
Injury/rehab update
* Simmo was in casuals sitting with legs up on one of the benches watching and talking to Wallace and Miller.
* Connors is wearing a moonboot. Not sure what exactly for but we believe it's due an ankle op(?).
* Hyde has a bandage around his knee.
* Cotchin was limited to handball of course as he's coming back from that broken foot he did in the TAC Cup PF.
Regulars
Lids, Clever, Whitey look bigger in the upper body/arms.
Sarge has put a bleach through his hair.
Cogs is moving freely with just a piece of tape around his knee. He completed full training so fingers crossed :pray.
Polo is in full training too. Just has some light strapping on his right shoulder.
Richo (in a tank top Julz) and Browny just did goalkicking while I was there while the main squad trained.
Jack snapped a goal across his body from the pocket during one of the drills which got a big roar from him and his teammates.
Still getting use to Jordie in a Richmond top.
I'll try bringing my camera next time and take a few snaps. Any questions just fire away.

Awesome report MT :clapping
Out of interest was Hartigan anywhere to be seen? Some rumour we may look to re-rookie him..
I hope to the heavens that Simmo & Cogs are 100% this year. Will have a huge bearing on our season.
Also did Schulz, Meyer and Hughes show good intensity?
Thanks again. 8)
-
cheers for the report MT :cheers

same here

Cheers Magic.
I went today expecting to only see the new kids so I didn't pay too much attention to the oldies to be honest unless they were right in front of where we were sitting. Most of more intense training was done at the opposite end of the ground. I'll have a better look next time. Clever, Danny and Sarge were as intense as the others from what I saw. There was a #33 running around but as I wasn't expecting Harts to be there so I didn't put 2 and 2 together. Interesting if we are going to rookie him. That must mean Harts and Cam are fighting over the same rookie spot.
Just as an aside, Lids was chatting about not being about to afford $1,000 for something or other and Richo quipped back "you're the richest 20 year old I know" :lol
-

Certainly not confirmed about Harts but I have heard that he is still around the club, so it makes for interesting gossip.
Would make sense if he was fighting it out with Howat...
Funny re Lids. :lol
-
One thing that stood out at training today was the extra height. Perhaps Plough has been converted lol.
-
has anythign about training been up on the site? can someone let me know training times id like to get back to going i just dont know when haha thanks ;D

Good to see the players in good spirits. They should hang in. Even if we have 1 more bad season next year, itll set up the club, especially if we have 2 early picks and 3 inside 20. Next years draft is a doozie. Set us up good for 2011 and 2012.

Just got back from watching training this morning. I popped in at around 10.45 but they actually trained from 9-12. No rehab group today although Connors did appear with his moonboot still on. Julz, Moi and Steph would have been happy. A warm day means shirts off.
Mostly tackling and close in work today. The NRL guys were helping out with the tackling drills. A couple of new and odd drills too. In one drill one player had to lie down on the ground while another laid on top with his shoulder pressing down and him rotating around. Miller said it's designed to build-up strength. Another drill was where they would pair up joined by an elastic rope tied around their waist. One player had to evade while the other tried to catch him. Greg said this was designed to improve their agility. While they were paired up they were also doing one where they would face each other and press their shoulders into each other alternating between left and right shoulders.
David King was taking groups through close-in kicking and handballing.
Later on the session Royal took Graham, Patto and the midfielders to work on ball-up set-ups. Foley, Tuck, Cogs, Edwards, Blingers, Cotchin, Collins, Hyde were some of the mids involved IIRC. I'll need to check my photos when I get home tonight.
Fanning, Putt and Sullivan (I think he was one wearing #48) did ruck practice with Monkhurst.
As for the newbies, Cotchin, Rance and Putt all trained. Putt has the Southern Cross (Aus flag style) tattooed on his back. Rance has a blonde streak at the back of his head. Looks a good size already. About Jack Riewoldt's height and solid looking. He looked comfortable at training. Showed no sign of first day nerves or anything. Very clean skills.
Silvester and Callinan were at training too. I didn't notice the others today that were on the permission to train list. No sign of Richards or Pfieffer. I was told a rumour that the club thought Richards was too slow. Another rumour has it Lachlan McKinnon broke his toe so that's why he no longer isn't training with us.
I didn't see the older blokes - Richo, Browny, Sugar and Joel so they either may have left early or didn't train today.
I took a couple of photos. Hopefully some are close-up as most of the time the squad trained away from us. I'll post them sometime tonight when I get home.
-
Always look forward to and appreciate the reports MT. Great stuff. :thumbsup

Pleasing. Pleasing. Pleasing. Our poor tackling is my pet hate. My sig tells the story.
Foley, Tuck, Cogs, Edwards, Blingers, Cotchin, Collins, Hyde were some of the mids involved IIRC.
How's young Collins looking? has he bulked up at all and do you think he might play any senior footy this year?
Also any noticeable increase in size in Shane Edwards? I love this kid. Reckon he'll be a gun.
No sign of Richards.... I was told a rumour that the club thought Richards was too slow.
That'll please the masses if true.
Was Gourdis there today? if so how did he look?
Cheers again Mighty one.

I didn't really notice any major change in either Collins or Edwards to be honest Magic. Perhaps Edwards is a fraction bigger in the upper arms/body but nothing that would make you go wow he's bulked up. I took photos of both so I'll post them later tonight when I get home from work.

I know it takes time but I hope these youngsters are hitting the weights as hard as they can.
Any idea of how many weights sessions they do per week?

Not sure Magic. I remember when Terry first got the job and he was talking about our players having tennis legs, he said we only did 3 sessions and he wanted to make it 11. IIRC it ended up being a compromise say 7 sessions.
I forgot to say before Tucky had some tape or something on his ear. Perhaps a result of some sparring in the ring.

Ta.
IMO all of these guys are undersized for AFL footy.
McGuane, Thursfield, Meyer, Collins, Hyde, Schulz, Oakley-Nicholls, Polak, Collins, Edwards, Riewoldt.
Must strengthen up and get weight and muscle on these footballers bones as much as possible.
We just don't intimidate opposition teams at all. :-\
-
MT great stuff ... i hope you took a picture of the "strength" work done ... as you explained earlier ...
it just sounds weird ... must see ... ROFL ...
and ...
who is your (MT) tip, we will draft in the PSD and which 4 we will rookie ... just your tip !

Schulz has been told there's a position for him in the backline and he needs to finally get AFL fit.
Simmo has been doing specialist speed training btw. I presume similar to what Foley did last year.
-

Interesting. You can see that there is a spot there for him too. Polak, Thurst and Bowden just isn't enough size in defence.
I think Sarge could make a decent tall defender but the big issue is his stamina. There are massive question marks over his focus and ability to run out a game. I am also unconvinced by him at ground level.
Last chance for Jay Schulz.
He'd better get serious as his once promising career is fast slipping away..

No obvious clues as yet. It wouldn't now surprise me if we took Fanning in the PSD now. I'm guessing the ruck choice will come down to either Fanning or Sullivan (if that was him today). Sullivan is just as young and raw if not more so than Gus, Patto and Putt in the ruck so it probably makes sense if we go for the ready-made ruckman as back-up for Simmo who may be underdone match-fitness wise due to him being on Wafarin and unable to do any contact work until February.
Rookies are harder to guess as all 16 clubs get a go. We have picks 1, 17, 33 and 49. Silvester (backman), Gourdis (forward), Collard (mid) and Callinan/Howat (mid) could be the 4 but that's only me guessing. For all we know those 4 or 5 may be gone in the first round of the rookie draft.

Agree Magic. Sarge needs to work on getting to a level of fitness where he can make second, third, fourth efforts at a contest and last out an AFL game otherwise he'll be gone by this time next year.
In hindsight if the Club knew that Rance would slip to pick 18 then Schulz would probably be at Port Adelaide training now and we'd have whoever we wanted at pick 28 as there'd have been no need to ask for picks 16 and 18 to be swapped which is what in the end stopped the trade going through. The little quirks, swings, turns and roundabouts of the trade-draft system.
-
Did you notice Gourdis at all, seems quite a big lad. (He was at Club 80 last night)
-

Nah Beren, I didn't notice either Gourdis (I'm presuming he's just a forward and doesn't ruck) nor Collard today. Like I said I turned up halfway through the session so some players could have gone home or gone inside by then.

Excellent reporting as usual MT! :clapping :bow :cheers
Looking forward to the pics. :thumbsup

"mightytiges" great stuff ...
but to me they look the same size ... arms and body width ...

Thanks for the report.
Gee Gus looks like a massive boy.
Senior players are not due back until Monday I think? Training wise anyway.
-
Note to Terry: please do not allow your players to take their tops off unless they have decent pecs and abs ala Brett Deledio.

I want to go next week but im not sure what time to turn up.

Kingy is the exception.

Hey MT, great reports on the training, unfortunately it's the only time I come onto the site lately as I am flat out on another Tiger site and a few motorbike one's as well. I will try to get on more this year though, by the way any chance of a few pics of Cleve just to see how he has developed, next time. Also I noticed that Meyer has got some serious biceps going on now, he did need to bulk up though.
-
You need to start a site for Richmond supporting bikers who see training, WAT. ;D Would have to be good to match mt's reports though. :cheers
If I see anyone at training on a moped I'll try to recruit for you. 8)

We are talking about him on another site I am on, it could be Gourdis, Sylvester or Schulz?? MT might be able to answer.

Newy could handball about 70 metres with those arms, let alone launch torpedoes that far.

A nice but warm and sunny day at training today. I popped in again at about 10.45am but was told some blokes had been training/running since 8.30am. Training finished around 11.45am so it was a long session for some.
No sign of the older blokes - Richo, Browny, Joel, Sugar and Simmo as they start next week - but pretty much everyone else was present. Connors still had his moon boot on but occasionally went for a short job with a limp to fetch a footy.
As for the newbies - Cotchin, Rance and Putt were there again today as was Silvester, Gazzo, Horne, Collard, Callinan, Fanning, Sullivan and a couple of smaller blokes I couldn't put a name to the face. Callinan is small but he's a dead-eye-dick around the goals. I think Zomer was there too (No. 12? for anyone else who went). Greg and Francis spent a fair bit of time watching training. I forgot to ask if Gourdis was out there :-\.
As for the old hands - Moore looks like he's been on the 'roids in one photo :o. Lids is a well-oiled machine (I'll leave that for Julz, Moi and Steph to judge).
As for the drills I saw, the first was just long kicking circle work around the oval which was finishing up as I arrived. In the next drill they worked on clearances from packs. One player would stand in the middle of about other 8 players paired up in teams (attacker and defender (orange singlets)). David King would roll the ball along the ground to the centre player and then the attacking "team" had to clear the footy and pass it to the forwards (with defenders on them) near the goals. It looked like Jack was the forward with McGuane on him. The whole squad would rotate through the drill in these groups of 8. Foley and Blingers stood out. Blingers weaving in and out and then accelerating clear was good to watch. The biggest cheer was for Kel Moore who ran around the back of the pack to receive the footy then burst clear on a bouncing 80m run, a quick one-two handball with Jack and then banged it home from 5m out.
Any questions just fire away. I'll post some photos either later tonight or tomorrow.
-
How is Collard looking MT?
-
How is Collard looking MT?
He looks a good size for a mid (solid not skinny). A pretty decent and natural looking kicker of the footy and accurate set-shot goalkicker too. He stands out with his bleached blonder hair. There's no scratch matches so it's hard to tell much else about him in terms of other things like accountability, reading of the play, awareness, etc...

From the RFC site:
Richmond’s pre-season training regime is in full swing and Wallace was pleased to report the club’s medical facilities – stretched to near-breaking point at the same time last year – were enjoying a much quieter preparation.
“Probably the difference for us this year is that we’ve got blokes up and running,” he said.
“The same time last year we probably had half a dozen blokes who were coming off long-term injuries that we were fighting against time to try and get them right for the year. That’s not the case this year.
“Chris Hyde’s had a minor knee surgery but he’s really about the only one who’s not able to do what he needs to do. From that point of view it’s been good but the proof is always in the pudding isn’t it?”
Important duo Nathan Brown (leg) and Troy Simmonds (ankle) were two players who laboured through pre-season last time around, but Wallace gave both a clean bill of health.
“Brownie’s back to full health and fitness,” he said.
“Troy had those problems late in the year when he had that blood clot, but he’s overcome all those problems and his ankle's fine now as well. I’ve got a full squad to pick from which is what every coach wants.”

G'day everyone. This site seems to be a great find. Great to hear about training. Thanks MightyTigers!
A few questions if you would be so kind -
How is Cogs looking?
Where is Meyer training?
Is Lids training exclusively with the forwards?
How does Rance rate defending against our current forwards?
Any noticable size changes?
Are they spending more time working for each other - laying shepperds/blocks etc rather than looking for the receive? (sorry personal beef)
Thanks for your help
Stripes
-
How is Cogs looking?
Cogs is looking good Stripes and is doing full training with the rest of the squad. No noticable effects from the knee so far :pray.
Where is Meyer training?
Is Lids training exclusively with the forwards?
How does Rance rate defending against our current forwards?
They haven't really done a lot of that sort of specific group training as yet. More circle and in-close work. The senior players start back next week so at the moment our two main forwards Richo and Browny aren't training with the main squad yet. Lids did spend some time with the forwards on Wednesday but most of the training sessions have been done as a whole squad. Meyer has been with the mids as far as I can tell. Rance has looked clean with his disposal so far.
Any noticable size changes?
Graham, Hughes and Moore look bigger in the upper body.
Lids is like he has been carved out of stone. Straight out of one of those late-night home-gym commercials lol.
JON looks a fraction taller than what he was listed at the start of the year.
The rest don't look too different.
Are they spending more time working for each other - laying shepperds/blocks etc rather than looking for the receive? (sorry personal beef)
They had the NRL boys down to training on Wednesday to work on tackling and today as I said in the report they did some in-close clearance work. Yep our sheparding and blocking is pretty poor. Work in progress I guess.

No sign of the older blokes - Richo, Browny, Joel, Sugar and Simmo as they start next week - but pretty much everyone else was present. Connors still had his moon boot on but occasionally went for a short job with a limp to fetch a footy.
As for the newbies - Cotchin, Rance and Putt were there again today as was Silvester, Gazzo, Horne, Collard, Callinan, Fanning, Sullivan and a couple of smaller blokes I couldn't put a name to the face. Callinan is small but he's a dead-eye-dick around the goals. I think Zomer was there too (No. 12? for anyone else who went). Greg and Francis spent a fair bit of time watching training. I forgot to ask if Gourdis was out there :-\.
As for the old hands - Moore looks like he's been on the 'roids in one photo :o. Lids is a well-oiled machine (I'll leave that for Julz, Moi and Steph to judge).
As for the drills I saw, the first was just long kicking circle work around the oval which was finishing up as I arrived. In the next drill they worked on clearances from packs. One player would stand in the middle of about other 8 players paired up in teams (attacker and defender (orange singlets)). David King would roll the ball along the ground to the centre player and then the attacking "team" had to clear the footy and pass it to the forwards (with defenders on them) near the goals. It looked like Jack was the forward with McGuane on him. The whole squad would rotate through the drill in these groups of 8. Foley and Blingers stood out. Blingers weaving in and out and then accelerating clear was good to watch. The biggest cheer was for Kel Moore who ran around the back of the pack to receive the footy then burst clear on a bouncing 80m run, a quick one-two handball with Jack and then banged it home from 5m out.
Any questions just fire away. I'll post some photos either later tonight or tomorrow.
thanks for that mate....greatly appreciated...
i really want someone to post a definitive confirmation that Gourdis is here training with us.....to put my mind at ease...in the previous 2 training posts...no one was able to confirm....i know it's been reported that he's with us..even on the club's own website..but....it would make me feel a lot better knowing that he's with us......perhaps we're just hiding him from the prying eyes of other clubs..

Moore looks like the hulk!
Noticeable body changes in Deledio as well.
The Tigers look fit!
Great reports and pics MT & OT.
Fantastic stuff. Thank you for the effort. :thumbsup
-
Brett Deledio - now that's what I'm talking about! :clapping :bow :thumbsup
Boy how white is Riewoldt?
-
It's Newman, absolutely no doubt about it.
There's definitely some doubt, it's Schulz
You can see in the latest photo of him without his shirt on that he's much bigger, none of our mids should be bulking up that much, it reduces mobility.

Schulz has packed it on too. Good signs.
Hopefully he recognises he's on his last chance and finally makes something of himself.

;D Newman's always been a big boy. I didn't think of Schulz though. That's the only other possibility, absolutely no doubt about it. ;)
Just went back and had another look. I still reckon it's Newman.

The boots looks like Newy's not Sarge's so that's why I think it's Newy.

Boy how white is Riewoldt?
His nickname should be Ghost ;D
Moore looks like the hulk!
2008 will be his last chance so hopefully he can build on his late form this year and this bulking up is a sign of it. At the start of August I thought he was gone but he saved himself from the cut for another year.

the issue is ... is he doing enough at the moment on the track, anyone want to give us a clue as to how the young man has gone about his business.

Anyone know training times for this week?

Thanks.
How has he been looking at training seeing as he's shaping as our #1 PSD selection..

A couple of years ago I was a big rap for Ian Callinan and hoped we would rookie him at least but wasnt to be. The kid is enormously skilled, possibly the best kick either foot I've seen but is now 2 years older. I am sure Rawlings had something to do with him training with us. Anyone seen him in action or have any idea what his chances might be?

The only thing going against Callinan is his height or lack of and whether he has the pace for AFL footy. He's obviously a gun at VFL and SANFL level. His foot skills are still as good as you've described TT and he is a dead-eye-dick kick for goal be it crumbing or a set shot. I watched him the other day and he missed only one shot and that was one where the ball slipped off the side of the boot. I don't think the club would have brought or asked him over from SA and kept him training with us for so long if they weren't seriously looking at him. He's obviously one of the final 5 or 6 Miller mentioned in the paper last week. I'd rather give him a rookie spot than say Howat.

I have heard of a small player with exceptional skills who is impressing at training and is looking in line for a rookie position. This is a whisper from another site, I have no hard facts to support this, but it sounds like Callinan may be the player from your description.

We can pick him up as our one mature-aged rookie.

Many thanks MT, sounds pretty promising. I agree with your comment re Howat as I think Callinan brings something different and desperately needed in a genuine goal sneak albeit not super quick or exactly as tall as we may prefer. Howat, Tiv and Hyde all seem to be competing for the one spot for mine. His ability to deliver pinpiont either side of his body wont go astray either and the kid has always had his head on straight which is a bonus. Maybe I am just biased and want another Taswegian.....lmao
-
id have callinan purely because i know what im gonna get from tiv,howat and hyde. a fresh scapegoat ... i mean face would a nice change ;D
-

Yep TT. Howat, Tivs and Hyde only use their non-dominant leg and foot for standing on. Tivs at least has tried to be more "inside" this year.
-
Just got back from a warm day at training. Only about a third the squad trained fully today. Mostly the senior players - Lids, Polak, Browny, Joel, Richo, Polo, Petts, JON, Tambo, Tivs, White, Thursty, Foley and Kingy. Rance was the only newbie who did the main training.
Hyde jogged a fair few laps (coming back from a knee injury)
McMahon did 100m straight semi-sprints and did a few laps.
Sugar, Newy and Cass did a few 200m runs together.
Howat, Collins and Gus were also doing some running on their own. Gus is looking superfit and bigger in the upper body.
Simmo did some ruck practice (non-contact) which was good to see along with Patto and Gus.
I saw Rainsey in the race for a sec. I was told Rainsey and a few others were out there when training started but they had gone inside.
No sign of any of the PSD/rookie trainees today. So I still haven't seen Gourdis.
As for drills, they were doing some agility work again when I rocked up. The players were paired up with a rope or elastic cord tied between them. With cones about 1m apart they would move sideways back and forth facing each then turn and run/sprint 100m. Not sure how hard the others were running but sheesh Rance is quick going by today's training and not just for his size either. He's quick to accelerate to high speed. He was teamed up with poor old Joel first and dragged him along :lol then comfortably kept ahead of Whitey who is no snail.
After that Thursty, Polo, Kingy and Richo went for some kick to kick while Newy joined the main squad for tackling practice with the NRL guys. First up was some 1-on-1 wrestling on the ground. Um Richo showed some of his "bedroom" moves when he was on top of Rance :whistle. Welcome to the AFL Alex ;D. Next up was some 1-on-1 basic tackling. They finished with each player having to lay on the ground and then jump up and tackle someone trying to run past them. Polak copped it in the nether region when he tackled Rance and had to have some time out. Rance found out that Foley and a few others have some tricks in their bag to avoid being tackled. He got a bit ticked off with himself but the others walked over and gave him a encouraging rub on the head and tap on the back.
Training overall has been in good spirits and as someone I sit with mentioned to me Plough isn't training them into the ground after what happened last year with all the injuries we copped with that NAB 15 idea.
I only took a couple of photos today which I'll post later tonight. Any questions just fire away.
-
Sounds like Rance was trying to kill a few of the old fellas. Good to hear Richo asserted his dominance in the tackling practice, though I have a very unsavoury mental picture after your description MT. Thanks for that, going to take me a few days to get over it. The Dog Whisperer would be impressed.
-
Rance seems to have made a bright start- good attitude, works hard, self analysis, seems to have other players trying to educate him ... not a bad start at all.

Come on guys. This is one of the best threads on the board IMO. Lets not fill it up with rubbish. Plenty of other places you can have a go at one another.
Looks like my concern has been addressed. My post doesn't make much sense any more. Thanks mods. :thumbsup

are you serious ???
that means it is the record ???
Craig ran it in 13:10 ???
well done White !!!

Mottram holds the record at 10.12 (officially) and 10.08 (unofficially when running against Richmond this time last year). Whitey now holds the record for an AFL footballer :clapping.
The Tan
There is a 3.8 km running track parallel to the perimeter fence of the Botanic Gardens. Officially termed The Tan Track as it has a surface of tan bark, it is more commonly and affectionately known as The Tan.
The Tan originally served as a horse track for Melbourne's well-heeled, and is now one of Melbourne's most frequented locations for joggers. Locals, visitors and famous alike now share the space as its international reputation has grown. The Tan is often used in training by professional athletes, such as AFL footballers, particularly during pre-season time-trials. Running greats such as Hitcham El Guerrouj, Steve Ovett, Cathy Freeman, and Sonia O'Sullivan have all rubbed shoulders with the general public on The Tan.
The quickest lap of the Tan has been held by such notable Australian runners as Robert de Castella and Steve Monaghetti (10:41, 2003). The current record is 10 minutes and 12 seconds, run by Craig Mottram in 2004. On the 21st of December, 2006, Craig Mottram unofficially broke his personal best time around the tan, running a scorching 10 minutes and 8 seconds [1] while running with the Richmond Football Club during their pre-season training. He gave the footballers a two-and-a-half minute head start and still managed to beat them comprehensively.

Lids would be close to the fastest if he isn't. Kingy won the GF sprint and Axel came second? after Fev was given a Flemington straight start. Whitey's got toe and Blingers and JON are meant to be super quick although they don't use it to their advantage during games. McMahon should be up there too. At training Rance showed he is pretty quick and he's 193cm tall.

from the Herald-Sun
The players chose a bad day to resume training after the Christmas break with the temperature already nudging 30C and a compulsory fitness assessment time trial lap of the Tan awaiting them yesterday morning.
Cameron Howat was the first Tiger to complete the 3.8km course in about 13 minutes.
Daniel Jackson and Chris Hyde were next home, about 40m behind Howat. Star forward Matthew Richardson took around 14 minutes.

At least it's good to know Simmo is running as far as his ankle goes. Hopefully for his and our sake the blood clot problem is behind him too and he can get off the Warfarin soon.

whats warfarin doc ?

a blood thinner for clots

Careful who you're calling a clot, Simmo's got a black belt in karate. :whistle 8)
-
lmao
-
on the gear myself actually. 10mg (2x5mg tabs) everyday for the term of my natural life. They want to keep my I.N.R. (blood viscosity) at 2.7 to 3.0 which just means 2.7 to 3.0 times thinner than normal thickness.
doesnt really affect your natural physical ability in any way just if you bleed from a cut or something it takes a tad longer for it to clot up.
I also notice in high altitude i tend to get out of breath a tad quicker than i normally would.
He's coming off the warfarin soon and it wont be a problem at all. I'd say he's on it now purely for safety's sake.

Do you have to have regular blood tests blx so they can monitor your INR levels?
Incredible drug Warfarin - contains Rat sack ;D. We used to give Ma Powell heaps about taking rat sack :thumbsup

on the gear myself actually. 10mg (2x5mg tabs) everyday for the term of my natural life. They want to keep my I.N.R. (blood viscosity) at 2.7 to 3.0 which just means 2.7 to 3.0 times thinner than normal thickness.
Do you have to have regular blood tests blx so they can monitor your INR levels?
Incredible drug Warfarin - contains Rat sack ;D. We used to give Ma Powell heaps about taking rat sack :thumbsup
yeah regular blood tests at varying times. average about 1-2 a month.
Rat Sack hey, sounds like an band name from the 80's.

Miller said Simmo won't be allowed to do any contact work until February but apart from that no problems. Cogs going very well too. Thankfully no serious injuries so far (touchwood :pray).

Surely with all the heat in Melbourne, there should be plenty of pics of shirtless players training? On Chan 10 news the other night, they had Freo players trainingn in speedos.

They sure come up with some odd training drills over in the west. First the Eagles training blindfolded and without footys and now Freo the other day.
You'll have to contact the club Julz and say you're a biomechanics expert if you want that sort of thing :wallywink.

I think the blindfolds are for them to get used to the sensation of solitary confinement. Well the club did say they were going to have more involvement in supporting their players off-field issues. The blindfold apparently also helps in finding your stash on the car floor when it falls off the back seat whilst trying to avoid the local constabulary! :lol

First training report of 2008 :thumbsup.
Training today was at Vic Park :P. Went for about 2.5 hours but I only saw the last hour.
Howat has done ligament damage to his ankle is on crutches and Connors has re-hurt his ankle ::). Gus had one ankle tapped but he did the whole session. Collins also looked to have hurt himself at one stage but he completed the session. It was hard to see who was in the rehab group but I presume Cotchin was one as he didn't do all of the drills (he was walking freely though). Also McGuane told a friend of mine that he had OP over the past year and is just now getting over it.
On the positive news front I was told Simmo was involved in some of the contact drills. So hopefully that means he's off the Warfarin (blood thinner) and is ready to go. Cogs said he's happy with how things are going. Meyer is also apparently pain-free.
The drills that I saw were inside 50/forward line drills. Basically pairing up as 1-on-1 attackers/defenders from the centre and forward lines and the attacking team needing to score. The other one was mainly lead up work from the goalsquare. The skill level was decent but I wouldn't say they weren't going hundred miles an hour in training today.
As far as match-ups: Rance on Richo/Hughes, Raines on Lids, King/Jordy on Collard, Silvester on Putt. Petts, Edwards and Polak were also forwards. Foley was ripping it up and probably the standout of today.
I've taken some photos so I'll post them tonight. Not a hot day today so sorry Julz.
Any questions fire away.
-
Connors has re-hurt his ankle ::).
Thanks as always MT. :thumbsup
Very disappointing news about Connors re-injured ankle. :(
Given Cotchin's ongoing lower leg problems as well it is some reason to worry.
These two exciting prospects are where I'd hoped some improvement to our team might come from this year but interrupted pre-seasons are not going to help them one iota during the '08 season.
A few questions..
How did Rance look against Richo?
Is Schulz lining up in defence or attack during the drills?
How freely is Meyer moving?
Cheers

Rance was only on Richo for a little while to be honest and there wasn't any vigorous defending today from anyone. The defenders were more there to clog space and most passes went to those who lead out on a 45 degree ankle than straight up the ground. Rance is a good size for a first year tall kid but Richo is massive compared to him.
We were watching the group nearest the Sherrin stand end so I didn't notice much of what Schulz did. When Rawlings had all the forwards around him Schulz wasn't one of them. I forgot to say Jack was playing as a forward too. Connors and Cotchin listened in to so perhaps a clue where they might be spending there time this year once they get right.
I saw Danny at the end walking past but it was a friend at training who told me he was now pain-free. She thought he had bulked up a bit too.
Speaking of bulk, Gourdis is a big lad. Incredible he is also the fastest :o.
Oh and I forgot to mention on the photo front that I inadvertently captured in the background a certain senior leadership player "rearranging the furniture" through his shorts. I doubt I'll post it but it's amazing what the camera picks up :wallywink.

Thanks again MT.

Not 100% sure. He's reinjured the same ankle but he was still able to walk around on it barefoot (he straight away took the shoe off). Hopefully it's not too bad.

good to see polak in the forward group. I hope they use him deep near the goals, FF.

i have no doubt rance is ready to go the only thing is i think as the season goes on fatigue will be the biggest factor. Needs to be monitored.
Cotchin should also be eased into the season especially with his ankle. Give him a taste this year to make sure he's honky dory for next years preseason then release the Cotch on the world fully fit and ready to go.

I agree with ya about easing in Cotch, but he'll need at least 1, if not 2 full uninterupted pre-seasons before he leaves the nest.

Agree with blx. No reason Rance can't play a number of AFL games this year as body-wise he's fairly developed already for a 18 year old. Even Terry said last night that Rance will play in the NAB Cup at some stage. Polak's taller than Rance. Alex is 192cm tall.

Just got back from training today at a very warm Vic Park. I got there at 10.40am so they would've have started a lot earlier. Finished up at midday. Today was the first mini scratch match of the year. Basically a 25-30 min quarter. Lots of goals for a change.
On the injury front, in rehab were Connors, Howat, Gus, McGuane and Meyer. They basically did handball and in close reflex stuff near the boundary. Cotchin, Simmo and Cogs trained with the main squad before stepping out of the practice match. It seems Cotch is allowed to run and do handball drills at this stage but no kicking based on today. Gus, McGaune and Meyer were able to run to and from the boundary to the huddles when Terry wanted a chat so hopefully it's just niggles and we're being precautious. McGuane as I mentioned on Wednesday is starting to get better from OP he had last year. Howat was off the crutches but still limping. Sugar and Collins needed attention for blisters.
When I arrived they were in the middle of a handball drill they also did last year. In groups of 6 they would handball between each other until they reached Rawlings or McRae who would knock the ball down and then it would become a 3 on 3 task where one side would need to maintain possession until the got back to the main group.
The next drill was a full ground kick and run and carry. 4 groups in each pocket and you needed to pass the ball to the someone in the centre, who'd dish it off back to you and you pass it again to the opposite pocket. All cleanly done.
Terry commented that the enthusiasm and workrate was very good. They were a touch rusty in the hands but overall he was pleased with things so far this preseason. Happy to have basically everyone on the training track.
After a drink which was treated like a quarter time break it was time for the scratch match.
-
continued.....
The squad was split up into Yellows and Whites. David King had Cotch set up with a camera in the Sherrin stand behind the goals to take footage of this end's match-ups. I might not have everyone in theri right position as there were many rotations and it was hard to see what was happening at the Yarra Falls end. Today was a good guide as to wear certain players will be playing this year.
Match-ups
Yellow backs: Tuck King plus Raines, Gourdis, Thursty, Morton
White forwards: Richo Collard plus Jordy, Patto, Browny, Collins
Yellow mids: Cartledge Hyde Tambo Foley/Polo Newy White
White mids: Putt Tivs Edwards JON/Sugar Jacko Casserly
Yellow forwards: Petts Riewoldt Hughes Polak (more CHF) Polo Lids (in goalsquare)
White backs: Bowden Moore Rance Schulz JON Silvester
Score
Yellows: 7.5-47
Whites: 4.4-28
Goalkickers
Yellows:
goals - Hughes 2, Foley, Newy, Raines, White, Lids.
bhds - Lids 2, Tambo, Petts, Morton (all set shots)
Whites:
goals - Richo 2, Browny 2
bhds - 2 were rushed off the pack. I couldn't see who kicked the other two.
Special mentions
It was mostly a free flowing game. Lots of midfield rotations and only a couple of minding jobs (looked like Sugar and JON had them). Sugar took the kick-ins too for the whites. The yellows pretty much dominated fair chunks of the quarter and looked the more dangerous side. They were a lot cleaner going forward and their forwards teamed very well which set up numerous scoring chances. They could have kicked 10 goals if their set shot radar was better. The Whites comitted 2-3 clear turnovers going forward which caused Plough to yell out. I was surprised the difference was only 3 goals at the end although possession wise there wasn't too much difference.
Hughes: Most impressed by Cleve today. Really presented himself well on the lead and was rewarded with two goals. His attitude has been questioned in the past but you couldn't fault him today. His first goal started him off. After going for the ball in a pack with Jack he got the handball from Jack and nailed it on the run from an acute angle :clapping. Cleve had the better of Rance (it's only his first hitout) although Rance rebounded well out of defence 3 times (fluffed one kick).
Lids: Played close to goal all game and could have had 3 goals if he had kicked straight. No fault of Silvester as he was effective and on Lids' shoulder most of the time but when someone can vertically jump high unaided and mark the ball in his fingertips as well as mark a footy one-handed under his armpit at full pace he's a bit hard to stop ;).
Jack: Didn't kick a goal but look dangerous every time the ball went near him.
Raines played well and kicked a nice running bouncing goal. Collected the ball in the midfield and then bounced his way to 50 and fired. He said afterwards he had just run back after intercepting a turnover so after 3 bounces he was "f*****" and he hoped it would just go through :lol.
Newy played in the midfield from what I saw. He was told to man up once but apart from that was effective in combo with Foley and Tambo and Hyde on a wing. Another nice running goal from the other pocket. Tambo had the better of Edwards.
Jacko was probably the whites best midfielder. Singlehandedly set up one of Richo's goals. Richo pretty much stayed inside 50. Browny only once twice ventured further up the ground.
Out of the newbies - Jordy and Collard didn't do much although it was hard to see the other end from where we were. Jordy was played strangely forward for most of the game. He only came down to the defence end once to receive a kick-in and he looked so much better behind the ball. A 50m kick straight to teammate on the wing.
Morton did okay as did most of the yellow defenders. Not sure why Tucky was down there ???.
Cartledge had the better of Putt IMO but once again that's not expected given the experience and age difference. It was good to see the ruckmen working both ways up the ground and deep.
Forgot to mention there was also a kid wearing 48 in white who might have been one of the AIS trainees but I'm not sure.
I didn't have my camera unfortunately so no pics today. Any questions just fire away.

JON started on Polo on a HBF and then spent time chasing after Foley around the midfield before moving back onto Polo. I didn't actually see him get a possession :-\ apart from a good punch away from Polo. It looked like he was tagging both as he wasn't chasing the footy himself although he didn't shut down either Polo and especially Foley.
Jacko played the whole time in the midfield. It looked like he was given freedom to win the footy as he wasn't tagging or playing anyone too tightly. Probably got a handful of possessions in total and did a couple of nice things. His decision making and execution was very good going forward. Watching him you felt the ball was in good hands when he did have it. His best moment was winning the ball from the centre bounce and hitting Richo on the chest which set up the White team's first goal.
Not sure when or where training is next week yet. PM me next week CT and I'll see if I can find out. The club is still saying they aren't public sessions.

Top stuff MT
You know the season it getting close now the practise matches are starting.
Under a month to go!!!

Thanks for the report MT.
Can you tell us, how did Edwards play? Did he show any silky skills? What was his kicking like?
-
Thanks for the report MT.

Edwards played the whole time in the midfield and was fairly quiet possession wise (perhaps 2-3 possessions). He played on Tambo who had the better of him (Tambo was very good) except for once when he left Tambo for dead with a clever blind 360 degree turn and then bursted away. Kicking was fine although as I said he didn't get much of it to judge properly.
-
I hope that Jacko gets a chance to play as a midfielder free of the tagger role this year. I'm sure he's learnt a lot over the last couple of years. Jacko has the toughness of Tucky but with more pace and better evasive skills imho. I think he would hit targets inside 50 better then Tucky could. Tuck wins the ball and blazes away inside 50. Jacko looks for a target and is learning how to find them. It's time to move Jon into Jacko's old role as a run with player and let him learn the game. Tuck could play as a tough half forward or half back changing with Jacko through the middle.
-
Agree on Tucky CT. We won't improve until we find and add a number of classy A-graders into our midfield.
If JON is to become a run with player he's going to have to learn he can't allow his opponent to be 20m off him.
-
How was the Schulz/Polak contest? Seems like Polly did not get a goal, which possibly augurs well for Schulz as a defender this year?
-

A strange contest that one. Polak started high up (more CHF) but they were really bypassed as the Yellow mids were able to run forward of centre and kick deeper towards Hughes, Jack and Lids. In the couple of contests they were involved in it was a pack situation and Sarge was able to spoil.
For me the issue Sarge is going to have to deal with is the same one he has when he plays forward himself. He's got stay in contest when the ball spills from the pack and hits the ground. Those second and third efforts especially need to be there if he is going to play defence.
-
Well done Mightytigers! Great insightful reports. A pleasure to read especially during a footy drought. :)
I'm very interested in how the players who are playing in new roles went such as Casserly, Newman, Lids, Polak and Cogs (2 years absent).
I think Newman in the midfield will be a masterstroke as will Lids and Polak in the forwardline. The only problem I have with this is that I thought McMahon and possibly McGuane/Moore/Rance/Silvester would be played in the backline in free up Newman and Polak but McMahon in the forwardline seems to throw out this theory.
Casserly could be a great find for the midfield given his size, skills and speed but this depends on his ability to remain injury free which to date has proved his bugbear.
Cogs - expectations are unrealistically high from my end even though I know this year will be a rebuilding (confidence, skills and speed) year more than likely for the young fellow. Any information on him would be extremely appreciated though.
Once again thankyou for your reports MT

Cogs is training fully with the main squad as far as drills go but didn't play in the practice match. Likewise Simmo didn't either. Plough said on 3aw that Cogs wouldn't be ready for the first NAB Cup game so they are rightly being cautious with him and not rushing things.
Newy was very good. Apart from one time when he was told by a teammate to man up in the midfield, he provided good run through the midfield and along one wing, got a heap of footy and pushed forward to nail a nice goal from a tight angle which he was pretty happy about.
I didn't notice Cass too much. A couple of possessions that I saw but not too much influence on the game.
I mentioned Lids in the main report. Played FF starting deep in the goalsquare with Hughes and Jack 20m in front of him. Would use his explosive pace, leap and sticky hands to take marks about 30m out within the "vee". Really should have had 3 goals but missed two set shots.

Disappointing to hear about Cass but Newy and Lids sound the goods. Could we be witnessing the start of a new forwardline structure here?

Hopefully but we should wait till we see them perform against real AFL opposition before getting too excited. When you think about it they were only playing against Coburg's backline :shh.
-
Newy was outstanding in the midfield during the International Rules series while playing for Sheeds. I was always surprized when he wasn't played in a similiar role for our team there-after. With McMahon moving back into the backline (potentially) this would allow Newman the freedom to finally take up this role and add a strong bodied player with plenty of skills straight into the area. From what you said though he needs to become more accountable though while playing there which surprizes me considering that he has had to be nothing but accountable as a defender for years.
You are right about the forwardline and there opponents but I do have high hopes for Lids in particular and Jack just has a nack of creating goals, for himself or his teammates, whenever he gets the ball. Problem is he just didn't seem to get the ball enough for our Tigers last year. I still think Richo is unintentionally holding back our young forwards at the moment but that is for another thread isn't it ;)
Thanks once again MT
Stripes
-
I wouldn't be too concerned about Newy's accountability based on being pulled up once in a scratch match. On Friday I would've been pointing the finger more to whoever was matched-up against Newy. A coach won't mind if it's his player who is the more influential and damaging.

LOL and an emotive one at that ;).

lids will always look dangerous if they keep playing snails like sylvester on him, if they are serious about turning him into a forward then put thursty on him for a bit and then we'll see what he's made of

that basically means get there at 8:30-9am if there past times are anything to go by.

Terry usually talks to them for 20 minutes before they start.

I just want to say thanks to all those who take the time to attend training and write reports back to the forum. It helps make the interminable summer go quicker and keeps all of us unable to attend, informed and whether the information is good news or bad news it helps maintain a 'connection' with the club and other supporters. Keep up the good work.
:clapping :thumbsup

I didn't think I could go today but luckily at the last minute I was able to head down to training. It was at bright sunny and warm Vic Park this morning. They started the session around 9.15am and the session went for about two and half hours.
Six Tigers were in rehab - Cotchin, McGuane, Meyer, Thursty, Howat and Graham. Thursty had a bandage around his right knee. They all basically did aerobic boxing drills while the main squad trained. Cotch and McGaune could pack a good punch but Gus was hilarious. The trainer made them box with one arm for about 10 minutes straight. By the end of it Gus would've struggled to knock over a feather (and copping a good ribbing for it too) lol. Connors and Simmo only did half the session all up. Gourdis stayed out of the tackling stuff with the Melbourne Storm boys to work on his kicking.
As for the main squad there was actual no scratch match today but they did do match-like drills first up. The squad split up into two teams with one side wearing our black claw preseason guernseys and the other wearing greeny singlets over theres. The midfielders paired up into attacking and defensive mids would start at different positions around the ground at a stoppage (ball-up in the centre, defence or throw-in on a HBF) . The attacking side would then need to work the ball forward. If they scored a goal it was a win for them; if there was a turnover then it was a win for the defenders. Once again the forwards and backs were pretty much as they were on Friday. Everyone stayed within their forwards and backs grouping but match-ups were rotated and only 6 forwards/backs were on the field at once.
F: Richo Polak Riewoldt Patto Browny Collard Hughes Petts Edwards Lids
B: Tuck Schulz JON Rance King Moore Morton Bowden Polo Silvester
Mids: Cartledge and Putt dueled in the ruck. Rotating through the midfield were Jordy, Foley, Tambo, Tivs, Sugar, Newy, Raines, Jackson, Cogs, Hyde, White, Casserly, Collins.
Terry was up in the Sherrin Stand videoing proceedings. Rawlings had the forwards, Royal the mids and King the defenders.
Special Mentions:
Tambo - impressive again at the stoppages as an "attacker" as well as working hard to get back and help the defenders and cut off a pass. We spoke to Chocco and he's rapted with Blingers' progress this preseason.
Browny - good to see him moving so freely and being heavily involved. Made one stuff up (a kick across the forward 50 was intercepted by JON) but was buzzing around and took several marks on the lead.
Hyde, Tivs and Sugar are much maligned but they played well today. Tivs also kicked one of his trademark long left foot goals. I wish he do it more in the real stuff.
Collins got praise from Joel for his efforts in the centre. Edwards was handy to inside 50 and kicked a goal.
Morton off a HBF should please supporters with his field kicking if today is anything to judge by. One of the trainers commented that he's a good kick. Another trainer quipped back that at least we've got one :ssh.
Everyone loves Kingy because he's a little mongrel who annoys the heck out of his opponent lol. Richo one time shoved him away ;D.
Cogs didn't have a starring role by any means but it was good to see him finally back in the midfield. He had an icepack on his knee after training but it looked only precautionary as he didn't seem too fussed about it and walked off the track fine.
Jordy said after training you can judge how we're going in round 1.
Overall the midfield and defensive work was very good today. Clean possessions and delivery over distance. Probably the only criticism was some of the final passes to the leading forwards were still too Richmond-like (going over heads or leading at a leading forwards feet).
After the match simulation drills, Robbie Kearns from the Storm came by and took the squad through some tackling and wrestling drills. Simmo didn't participate and did some kicking on his own with a trainer and then Gourdis. For the first drill the players had to pair up to wrestle starting on their knees. Next one player had to tackle a whole line of players one at a time running at him. Richo loved this as he would dump everyone to the ground lol. For the final drill you had to try and stop them getting past you. Poor Rance still struggles at this when he has to tackle the nimble Foley and Polo.
The remainder of the session was then a run-a-thon for about 30 minutes. Whitey, Edwards and Tambo were first home most times. The boys not surprisingly were pretty stuffed afterwards.
I took some photos today so I'll post them up later. Not sure how they'll turn out as it was very glarey.
Any questions just fire away. I'll try to answer them when I get a chance.

Chocco mentioned that during Friday's public training session at Gosch's paddock there will a two quarter scratch match starting at around 10.15am. A good day to come down and watch training if you're planning to do so. It'd great to get different OERite opinions on how we're travelling :).
There'll probably be another one the following Friday before they head up to Echuca for a full intra-club. Then it's NAB Cup time.
-
Once again MT, thanks for the report, great stuff, almost too good, the club might ban you from training soon for writing such detailed reports!
:clapping

Six Tigers were in rehab - Cotchin, McGuane, Meyer, Thursty, Howat and Graham. Thursty had a bandage around his right knee. They all basically did aerobic boxing drills while the main squad trained. Cotch and McGaune could pack a good punch but Gus was hilarious.
What is wrong with Graham? I thought Meyer was injury-free? I most concerned about Thursty - I hope it is a very minor injury.
F: Richo Polak Riewoldt Patto Browny Collard Hughes Petts Edwards Lids
B: Tuck Schulz JON Rance King Moore Morton Bowden Polo Silvester
I'm curious about how Tuck, Schulz and Polo went as defenders. How did they match up?
Mids: Cartledge and Putt dueled in the ruck. Rotating through the midfield were Jordy, Foley, Tambo, Tivs, Sugar, Newy, Raines, Jackson, Cogs, Hyde, White, Casserly, Collins.
How did Cartledge and Putt ruck? Does Putt show any promise? Is Cartledge a ready made ruckman or is he barely beating a new recruit?
Tambo - impressive again at the stoppages as an "attacker" as well as working hard to get back and help the defenders and cut off a pass. We spoke to Chocco and he's rapted with Blingers' progress this preseason.
Exciting to hear. Now he just needs on field consistency.
Browny - good to see him moving so freely and being heavily involved. Made one stuff up (a kick across the forward 50 was intercepted by JON) but was buzzing around and took several marks on the lead.
Any chance he will regain his '05 form? :pray
Morton off a HBF should please supporters with his field kicking if today is anything to judge by. One of the trainers commented that he's a good kick. Another trainer quipped back that at least we've got one :ssh.
Harsh...but fair. :-\ I thought Morton would be a forward but obviously not.
Cogs didn't have a starring role by any means but it was good to see him finally back in the midfield. He had an icepack on his knee after training but it looked only precautionary as he didn't seem too fussed about it and walked off the track fine.
Hopefully he will add depth and size to our midfield this year. I'm not expecting him to star.
Poor Rance still struggles at this when he has to tackle the nimble Foley and Polo.
Why did he struggle so much compared to the others. Is he slow, weak or easily confused?
Thanks as always for the indepth report MT. You are a God-send!

-
considering that Rance is 6'3 and weighs 93kgs its fair to say that foley and polo are quicker on there feet.

No non public session you certainly have no problems getting in MT ;D
Do they not consider you a member of the public ;D
Are they training Monday - if they are I'll be there :thumbsup

Tackling drill // Rehab (Meyer, McGuane, Thursty, Graham, Howat and obscured Cotchin)
-
Thanks for the report.
How did Hughes train?
-
I thought Meyer was injury-free?
I've heard on another forum his hip is very bad. Just rumour but it doesn't look good. :-\
How's Casserly looking this pre-season MT? Hopefully can stay injury free and offer plenty.
Good to see Connors running again. :)
Pleased to see plenty of work going into the tackling!!
Are you feeling good about the sides prospects.
-
What is wrong with Graham? I thought Meyer was injury-free? I most concerned about Thursty - I hope it is a very minor injury.
With Danny apparently it's his hip. He had an op post-season last year but I don't know the current prognosis. I'm not sure what's wrong with Gus.
I'm curious about how Tuck, Schulz and Polo went as defenders. How did they match up?
Once again Polak and Schulz were pretty much bypassed. Sarge mainly got his hands on the footy deep in defence when the ball hit the ground and the greenies were trying to clear from defence. He didn't make a mistake under pressure.
Polo wasn't as noticeable as he was on Friday.
Not sure why Tucky has been playing on Richo the last few times. Whether that's just out of necessity with McGuane and now Thursty in rehab I'm not sure.
How did Cartledge and Putt ruck? Does Putt show any promise? Is Cartledge a ready made ruckman or is he barely beating a new recruit?
Hard to say at this stage. The NAB Cup will be a better guide on Cartledge. Putt is still a raw youngster.
Any chance he will regain his '05 form? :pray
:pray
Even if he get to 80% of that form it'll be a bonus.
Poor Rance still struggles at this when he has to tackle the nimble Foley and Polo.
Why did he struggle so much compared to the others. Is he slow, weak or easily confused?
As Ramps says Foley and Polo are smaller and quicker on their feet.
-
How did Hughes train?
Cleve played higher up yesterday which was deliberate. Many of the stoppages were started in the defensive 50 so as one of the CHFs he had to push up into the centre square to make himself a marking option. Not bad again but probably not as prolific as he was on Friday.
How's Casserly looking this pre-season MT? Hopefully can stay injury free and offer plenty.
Are you feeling good about the sides prospects.
Cass isn't tearing it up by any means but I guess the positive for him is he has so far (touchwood) got a full preseason under his belt. He does look to have added on some size and muscle since last year.
I'm positive we'll do much better than last year (that's not too hard though) just from the personel available we didn't have last year but I'll wait for the real stuff to properly judge our prospects. We're only playing against ourselves and we at times still make mistakes we really shouldn't.
-
No non public session you certainly have no problems getting in MT ;D
Do they not consider you a member of the public ;D
LOL
There was only 3 of us at the start and it ballooned to a whopping 7 by the end of the session. Most a regulars.
I don't think the club minds a handful of supporters who just sit and watch and take a few snaps. I'm guessing after finishing last they just want to get on with training without distractions. When it's a public session you get a heap of kids turning up and they all want autographs and photos with their heroes and then you also have some older fans asking players to sign guernsey after guernsey and whatnot. Plus of course the media pop in wanting interviews and something they can write about.
-
Once again Polak and Schulz were pretty much bypassed. Sarge mainly got his hands on the footy deep in defence when the ball hit the ground and the greenies were trying to clear from defence. He didn't make a mistake under pressure.
Sorry to harp on these guys but what do you think Schulz's chances of making a CHB are?
Despite his critics he has very good skills for a big man and could be a real boost for our defence if it works out. ???
Unlike Polak do you think he's capable of playing tight enough on the big guys?
Sarge is a crucial player for us because he's got genuine size and mongrel.
You can see why Wallace has told him there's a place there in defence if he wants it.
It would make us far better side if Jay could play on the big guys effectively which we so lacked last season.
I want him to succeed. :pray
* As always appreciate the reports MT.
-
jay should have played at chb last season, wallets plans at the beginning of his contract was to convert jay into a chb, and he didnt persist with his plans
-
Six Tigers were in rehab - Cotchin, McGuane, Meyer, Thursty, Howat and Graham.
Anyone know when Cotch and Danny are going to get into the full match practice regime? I am getting worried that they are going to start too late and spend half the season at Coburg just getting match fit.
-
Anyone else planning to go to tomorrow's public training session?

Sarge will need to show more desperation and second and third efforts than he did playing FF if he is to succeed as a key defender. He'll struggle if he has just a good first and bit quarters before going missing for the rest of the game as he has done so in the past. He needs to get "AFL" fit over this preseason.
-

I think Cotch will be fine. He doesn't look too far away. I just think we are being cautious knowing he has a long career ahead of him. 2008 won't be when we need him to star. Danny on the other hand seems to be the greater concern simply because we as supporters don't know precisely what's happening with him and his hip.
-
Thanks MT for the reports - your reports are like the rain in a drought of information about the Tigers this pre-season. Once the NAB cup starts we'll be able to see for ourselves how we are going. In the meantime thanks heaps.
-
MT ...
some questions ...
is it just me or has Deledio put on more muscle around his arms ???
same as Coughlan ... obviously he has had more time in the gym ???
when Jay was in defence was he matched-up ??? also Polak ???
how was the talk volume ??? on the ground ???
did you say before that Johnson, Tivendale and Hyde played similar roles ??? if so ... was Jackson playing that tagging role ???
i have read many times that we get someone from The Melbourne Storm to come and help us tackle ...
i guess take note when they play in today's 2 quarter match the tackling ...
who matched-up on Gourdis ??? and did Gourdis beat that player ???
Richardson looks a bit thinner in the body and bigger in the shoulders ??? maybe it is just me ...
how was his running and "strech-out marking" ??? is he still marking on his chest out on the lead ???
Riewoldt ??? played up forward i guess ... how did he go and who took him ...
i love your training reports like everyone else MT ... just great stuff champ !!!
The Age or Hearld Sun should have a word with you ...

just got back
highlights
JON played the best game he has ever for coburg/richmond
still fluffed the ball at times, but playing on HBF was very prominant, got alot of the ball, alot, and used his pace and evasive ability very well..took a big step forward today
Shultz played KP backman, was very solid. left his man and ran away and used the ball well
Jordy looked very classy
Brown was back to his best, absolute class act
Polo played very well
Collins showed something in the guts
Rance looks like he belongs in the AFl allready, was being tutored by mcguane ;)
Negatives
Pattison barely had an effective possession, butchered ball
I will let MT do a thorough report and will help answer questions from there
NOt a bad hit out
-
Thanks MT great stuff. :clapping
look forward to an in depth report. 8)
-
Lids and Simmo were boundary umps.
I didn't see newy or Joel out there.
Howat, Gus, Connors, Cotch were doing the stats.
No Thursty, NcGuane or Meyer either.
Tambo was the only casualty from today (see other thread).
Hydey and Rainesy said it was bloody hot out there which isn't surprising as it was hot just standing in the sun watching.
Individuals
Rainsey - liked what he did today. Ran hard and got a heap of it but more importantly he "gived and goed" instead of holding onto the ball for too long.
Polak - Quite in the first quarter but took a couple of good marks in the second presenting from CHF. Made a goal saving tackle in the back pocket too which resulted in a coast-to-coast goal to his blacks.
Browny - A typical browny game getting a fair bit of footy and kicked one (maybe two himself) and set up a couple of others.
Riewoldt - Kicked a couple of goals but one was a gift from Richo who should have gone back and kicked it himself.
Edwards - I didn't notice him too much today. Kicked a nice goal.
Richo - A typical Richo performance. The good with the "what are you doing Richo!". Missed a couple of set shots himself but gave off two goals to teammates. Also played on when he shouldn't have and stuffed one up.
McMahon - Got better as the game went along and was more influential in the second quarter rebounding of HB and setting up attacks.
Polo - Excellent first quarter. Started in the midfield and had 2.1 to his name and a fair bit of the pill. Was less noticable in the second.
Petts - Good game from Kayne. Presented hard on the lead and was getting the footy not only in the forward line but also pushed up to the wing. Another forward who had a short spurt in the midfield. Ended up with 2 goals.
Sugar - Solid game from the captain. Got his share of footy.
Rance - Started on Jack at CHB. Promising display. Did some nice work setting up teammates to run through the lines via handball and did a great difficult spoil on Richo near the end.
Putt - Was soundly beaten in the tapwork by Cartledge which isn't too surprising. Still raw.
Morton - I didn't notice him too much today. Did a nice couple of passes to the forwards.
Tuck - Not a real influence on the game. Looked like he started forward today and kicked the Yellows first goal.
Jacko - Solid. Nice goal.
Cogs - Got through the game which was great news. Got a few possessions and was running well but no real influence.
Schulz - Thought he did alright today. Started in defence once again and produced a courageous mark running back with the flight in front of Richo. Pushed forward in the second quarter to kick a goal.
Patto - Typical Patto game. Works hards, got his fair share of footy but his kicking can be hit and miss. Played CHF and as a follower around the ground. Had a short spell in the ruck.
Collard - up there with the bests today. Kicked 3 goals and had about 8 possessions if I head correctly. Skill level and finishing very good. Played mostly forward for the Yellows with a spell in the midfield. We were saying shame he's only a rookie.
JON - My God! He may be a footballer after all ;D. One of the bests today. Was everywhere and I overheard he had 10 possessions. Most of all his kicking was pretty good albeit he was in space and he actually ran to the right spots and just did things right 95% of the time. Played on Gourdis on a HBF as well as spells in the midfield.
Tambo - Solid in the midfield. Worked hard inside. Sadly copped what looked like an ankle injury.
Hyde - Another much maligned player in the bests today. Ran the lines well setting up inside 50s and collected 10 possessions. Only criticism is the usual one - no right foot. Stalled a centre clearance because he couldn't keep running out on his right and had to stop and cut back on his left.
Tivs - Solid game. Kicked one of his trademark goals on the run.
Collins - Not bad. Played on a wing and midfield. Probably more noticeable in the second quarter.
Hughes - I didn't notice Cleve too much today. Passed off a goal to Browny.
White - Was against Hyde on a wing.
Cass - Solid. Got a fair bit of it running through the lines and kicking long into the forward line.
Moore - Was on Browny who probably won the 1-on-1 duel today. Moore still had a few rebounds and runs out of defence.
Foley - Solid in the midfield as we've come to expect from Axel.
Gourdis - Had a couple of possessions and one snap at goal which missed quite badly. Still very raw.
Kingy - Started like a house on fire. Less noticable in the 2nd quarter. He started in defence but also spent a fair bit of time in the midfield and didn't look out of place. Love the little mongrel in him lol.
-
Forgot Silvester - Played mainly on Richo for most of the game. I only saw him have one kick but I guess when you forward opponent doesn't kick a goal you've done your job.
Match-ups (I didn't write these down so apologies if I don't remember them all)
Yellow forwards: Richo Riewoldt Gourdis Patto Collard
Black defenders: Silvester Rance JON Schulz King
Blacks forwards: Browny/Petts Hughes and Polak were the tall timber
Yellow defenders: Moore/Rainesy Putt spent some time in defence McMahon
The mids were heavily rotated and there were some surprises - Rainesy, Kingy, Collard had time in the centre. Hyde and Whitey on one wing spent the game on each other. Cartledge and Putt did most of the respective centre bounce ruckwork.
-
As far as the overall game went the teams were fairly evenly matched so credit there to the coaching staff. A much better idea than the probables vs possibles intra-club games of the past which were mostly one-sided. The Blacks got off to a flyer thanks mainly to Kingy, JON and Polo and kicked the first 3 goals. The game then evened out and the Yellows were actually finishing the stronger in the first quarter but missed a number of gettable shots. The Yellows had the better of the second quarter initially as Collard, Foley, Sugar and Tambo started to win some footy out of the centre and they got out to a 8 point lead. However the Blacks were able to get back the momentum through lifting their workrate summed up by Polak's tackle and Rance's spoil and the Blacks finished with the last 4 goals.
In terms of gamestyle it was pretty much direct and similar to the way we played the last 4 games of last year. Lots of rebounding from defence, running the lines and then a long kick forward. We still make a number of mistakes especially when entering our forward 50s but I thought the standard improved as the game went along. Initially a few marks were dropped so hopefully that's just a sign that they are rusty.
-
Cheers for the report blaisee. I'll merge the reports so they are all in the one thread and keep this one just for news on Tambo's ankle :).
-
Polo - Excellent first quarter. Started in the midfield and had 2.1 to his name and a fair bit of the pill. Was less noticable in the second.
Schulz - Thought he did alright today. Started in defence once again and produced a courageous mark running back with the flight in front of Richo. Pushed forward in the second quarter to kick a goal.
Collard - up there with the bests today. Kicked 3 goals and had about 8 possessions if I head correctly. Skill level and finishing very good. Played mostly forward for the Yellows with a spell in the midfield. We were saying shame he's only a rookie.
JON - My God! He may be a footballer after all ;D. One of the bests today. Was everywhere and I overheard he had 10 possessions. Most of all his kicking was pretty good albeit he was in space and he actually ran to the right spots and just did things right 95% of the time. Played on Gourdis on a HBF as well as spells in the midfield.
These reports are most pleasing. Schulz, Polo and JON particularly.
A little more on these guys would be appreciated. 8)
Cogs - Got through the game which was great news. Got a few possessions and was running well but no real influence.
Patto - Typical Patto game. Works hards, got his fair share of footy but his kicking can be hit and miss. Played CHF and as a follower around the ground. Had a short spell in the ruck.
Hughes - I didn't notice Cleve too much today. Passed off a goal to Browny.
A little more concerned about the guys above.
Patto's disposal seemingly hasn't got any better. :-\
Cogs is unlikley to have much early influence.
Cleve? Meh.
-
These reports are most pleasing. Schulz, Polo and JON particularly.
A little more on these guys would be appreciated. 8)
I've been one of JON's biggest critics but you wouldn't have thought it was same player seeing him live today. He was in control whenever he had the footy and looked more natural in his movements. He wasn't all gangly and looking like he had no idea like he did last year at Coburg. His run off the ball to support teammates and handball receive was excellent. He was hitting targets by hand and foot and using his height and pace to advantage. He actually looked dangerous out there. Like I said he finally looked and played like a footballer. JON would've been in the top 3 of the bests today.
Polo - think his debut game. Running through the lines and into space to get on the end of passes and finishing with a couple of goals on the run from 45m.
Collard was most impressive. Just a very classy display and most importantly finished off his work. Even Cotch, Gus, Connors and Cam who were watching right near us and taking down all the stats were saying "Collard again". If he's in range the opposition better not give him a couple of metres as he'll make them pay. Just a dead-eye dick.
Sarge - I noticed him more in the first quarter as we were closer to where he was playing. Picked off a couple of incoming passes (one was running back with the flight) and had a couple of rebounds. Would've had the better of Patto when Patto was inside 50. Mind you there wasn't a situation where Patto and Schulz were 1-on-1 going for the ball. Patto got more of it up the ground. Schulz had one minor fumble on the ground but most of his groundwork was clean. He was getting lots of encouragement from Gus, Connors, Howat and Cotch watching on the sidelines.
-
is it just me or has Deledio put on more muscle around his arms ???
same as Coughlan ... obviously he has had more time in the gym ???
Yep Lids is definitely bigger in the arms and shoulders. A friend of mine asked Lids if he was benchpressing a ute lol.
when Jay was in defence was he matched-up ??? also Polak ???
Yep on last Friday and Wednesday Schulz was right on Polak's shoulder.
how was the talk volume ??? on the ground ???
Nothing more than usual.
did you say before that Johnson, Tivendale and Hyde played similar roles ??? if so ... was Jackson playing that tagging role ???
No, Jacko last Friday wasn't tagging anyone. He was allowed to be a ballwinner.
i have read many times that we get someone from The Melbourne Storm to come and help us tackle ...
i guess take note when they play in today's 2 quarter match the tackling ...
Tackling was good today. Our sheperding at times though can still improve.
who matched-up on Gourdis ??? and did Gourdis beat that player ???
Gourdis was playing defence at the Yarra Falls end last Friday so it was hard to see who was on who from where we were. He may have been on Jordy but I'm not sure. Today he was on JON and JON was allowed to do almost as he pleased.
Richardson looks a bit thinner in the body and bigger in the shoulders ??? maybe it is just me ...
how was his running and "strech-out marking" ??? is he still marking on his chest out on the lead ???
Riewoldt ??? played up forward i guess ... how did he go and who took him ...
I don't think Richo is any smaller than last year up close. He's still able to outlead his direct opponent and yep marking on his chest. That will never change.
Jack did well last Friday in combo with Hughes and Lids and looked dangerous but he was a bit quiet today. The 2 goals were basically his only contribution and one of those was fed on a platter in the goalsquare by Richo who should have kicked it himself.
-
I forgot to add that old habits die hard for Richo. Pushed his opponent in the back about 4 times :shh but only had one free paid against him
-
Looking back at the photos from Wednesday's training, Lids may have been rested yesterday due to a knock to his left hip.

Pie fans aren't too happy about us training at Gosch's paddock or Vic Park :wallywink.
Are my eyes deceiving me or are the boys from tiger land training on Magpie turf? As I passed by Gosch's this morning a sea of black and yellow were going thru their paces on our holy land.

-
The best thing about Vic Park these days is looking up and seeing the Magpie logo has been ripped down. So much for tradition eh Eddie :rollin.
-
I just back from training which was at a warm Vic Park today. A very light on session and not much action albeit I only saw the last hour of it. A bit of running, some more tackling practice with the blokes from the Storm and a little goalkicking practice at the end. The rest of the time was spent in a huddle listening to the coaches.
In rehab were Gus, Cotchin, Tambo, Connors and Simmo from what I saw. Rance, Putt and Gourdis were also with them for the boxing drills. I didn't see Browny today. Howat was doing some running on his own. Most of the rehab group were taking pings from the boundary at the goals. Cotchin nailed one through the middle with his uninjured foot and David King only missed one :o. It looked like Danny Meyer, McGuane and a few others were also doing groundball work with Royal.
Not much else to report. There's something happening at Crown now with Cogs and one or two others but I don't know what. Cross-training for the rest at 1.15pm.
-
I forgot to say Casserly needed some tape to his left thumb. When I first saw him with the trainer pointing at his thumb I thought oh no he's not done himself another injury but he got it taped up and got on with training.
-
hi if anyone knows when they are training can u plz let us know so we can go watch them, thanks chloe.

10.00am gochs paddock
selected richmond players vrs coburg
-
Seen the line ups a couple of days ago and they are fairly weak teams in regards to an AFL level but it will certainly give all the kids an opportunity to show how good they are.
Some of our older kids, should really put their stamp on this game.
-
Sounds like fun. Pity I am stuck at work.
-
Just got back from it. It was already started when I got there but I basically saw most of the two quarters.
Non-older Richmond players and a number of Coburg players made up the teams. I didn't recognise most of the Burger players but of those I think I know were Joe Gazzo, Josh Jones? and tall Chris Stewart from North Heidelberg who has joined Coburg this year.
Richmond players who didn't play were the older guys Richo, Browny, Joel, Sugar, Tivs, Petts, McMahon. Richo, Joel and Browny were there watching in casuals. Foley didn't play either. Lids didn't play again plus those injured or those coming back from injury - Thursty (had tape around his right knee area), Simmo, McGuane, Cotchin, Meyer, Tambo, Connors, Howat, Graham.
Another injury from the game. This time Moore with a left calf :(. He had it bandaged up.
Scores (from what I saw)
Yellows 2.2 10.5-65
Blacks 4.6 6.8-44
Goalkickers
Yellows: Polak 2, Collins 2, Stewart 2, Riewoldt, #3, #31, #36.
Blacks: Morton 2 (2.5 actually), Casserly, Polak, Hughes, Edwards.
I think Polak switched sides at the break.
I'll post more later.
-
With everyone no wearing their usual numbers and with so many Coburg players it was difficult to pick up match-ups. I'll post a rough idea of the teams.
Blacks Yellows
Newman Riewoldt
Raines Polo
Edwards Rance
Morton Putt
Tuck Cogs
Jackson Schulz
Patto Collard
JON Hyde
Hughes White
Gourdis Silvester
Casserly Moore
Cartledge Collins
King
Polak looked like he switched sides at "half-time".
Cartledge and Patto went up against Putt and Clever in the ruck.
-
It was a very blustery day and it showed in what was a scrappy game especially by foot. Goalkicking was difficult especially towards the freeway end with the ball veering severely left to right.
Individuals
Newy - One of the best today. Got a heap of it through the midfield and ran through the lines well. Seemed to be playing more his familar rebounding role today.
Raines - did okay but probably too much 2007-like (got caught twice).
Polak - solid. I thought he kicked a goal for the Blacks in the first quarter but maybe I mixed him up with someone else. He definitely kicked 2 goals for the yellows in the second quarter taking a handful of marks on the lead.
Riewoldt - Much better today. Played forward and back, got a decent amount of footy and was clean with his marks and disposal. Very vocal too telling teammates to pick up opponents.
Edwards - Better today as well. As he was playing forward pocket at the other end of the ground it took me half the game to realise he was wearing #35. I was going this Coburg player is pretty good :lol. Only blemish was he missed a set shot from 15m out at the freeway end forgetting to take the wind into account.
Polo - Did alright when he had the ball. He was on Morton for a while from what I saw (plenty of rotations as usual though) and Morton was best of ground.
Rance - Started in defence on Gourdis. Not sure who he was on after that. Solid without standing out from what I saw.
Morton - best of ground. Brought his own footy especially in the first quarter when he kicked 2.4. Continually got away from his direct opponent to mark on the lead or gain the footy in space. Also played midfield for most of the game.
Tuck - Played in defence once again moving through the midfield. He and Cogs were given rests on the bench.
Jackson - I didn't notice him too much today although he popped up towards the end when moved into the forward line. Was matched up on Whitey I think in the midfield and they sort of cancelled each other out.
Schulz - Played in defence once again before pushing forward late in the game. Not as eyecatching as last friday but solid enough except for the time Cleve nailed him :lol.
Patto - Played forward as well as in the ruck again. Was fairly quiet in terms of posessions but he won most of his ruck duels.
Collard - not the ballmagnet game of last friday but was he did was clean and effective.
JON - fairly solid. Not the "where did this come from" game of last week but not the JON 2007 version either.
Hyde - Was in the bests again. Got plenty of the ball and ran through the lines well. Had the captain's guernsey on too.
Gourdis - Didn't get much of it but he looked more comfortable out there this week. Chased and tackled well which resulted in two turnovers (got a pat on the pack from Rawlings) and his kicking wasn't too bad. He's a project player which is what you'd expect from a young PSD pick.
Hughes - I thought Clever was solid. Had Richo's number and presented well at times.
White - See Jacko.
Casserly - Played in defence in his usual rebound and long kicking role. Solid and kicked a nice long running goal.
Silvester - I didn't notice him in the first qaurter but I think he was on Polak in the second.
Cartledge - See Patto basically.
Moore - Started on Cleve on defence but went off halfway through with a calf injury.
Collins - Not sure who he was on (I think he was meant to pick up Morton at once stage as that was what was yelled from the bench). Was allowed to run around on his own basically and pushed forward to take 3 marks and kicked 2 goals at the Richmond end and one OOTF at the freeway end from 20m out.
Kingy - Typical Kingy game. He was on #10 from Coburg in a back pocket.
-
Forgot to add that someone said at the game today that Terry's kid was having a run out there but I wouldn't have a clue if that was true or who he was. I'll check the photos later on and maybe someone here might recognise all the non-RFC guys.
-
I also forgot Cogs in the summary.
Cogs played about half the game all up. Would have 5mins on and then 5 mins off. I didn't notice him too much during the play but at the stoppages he would be the one often with his hands to the ball first and then give it off to a running teammate.
-
Good to see Morton in the midfield. Hopefully he has the tank to have some long stints in the guts and rest up forward.

Everybody // Some of the Coburg players - Chris Stewart is the big bloke in yellow.

Did tuck play as an attacking defender and was he played at CHB or on a flank
-
In that first photo can some one tell me who the big guy is directly in front of Bling?

Thanks R.I.G. and welcome aboard OER :). Your mate must have been stoked.

Like Cogs he spent about half the game on the bench all up. I would say 08 when he was on the ground he was played more as an attacking defender receiving a handball on the run and then bombing it long. The Talls occupied the key spine posts.
-
Great stuff with the reports & great photos, must be a good camera.

how do the centre bounces/stoppages look? is it just all uncontested or is there some actual thought in the matchups and work on clearances?
is that geoff raines on the boundary in the last pic?
-

One thing over the summer you notice about our style of play is there are very few ball-ups if at all during the play. Just mainly centre bounces and throw-ins. Anyone going to ground over the ball gets pinged for holding the ball. From what I've seen there's been hardly any heavy tags as such. More 1-on-1 match-ups at the stoppages and around the ground with just hand pushing contact with your direct opponent. An exception on Friday was Schulz for a bit was playing as a loose man in defence.
With so many Tigers missing and ring-ins playing I'm not sure how seriously the coaching staff took match-ups on Friday. I wouldn't say it was uncontested either as it was a scrappy game. Clearance work is done more in specific training drills rather than during these intra-club scratch matches.
Terry said that he'll be playing the best forwards against the best defenders etc in the Echuca game this Thursday and with it being the last game before the NAB Cup it should be a more serious intra-club hitout.
is that geoff raines on the boundary in the last pic?
That's Andrew with the shirt off so it could be.

Nah Lids didn't play ILL. He was one of the boundary umpires as he was the week before. I'm not 100% sure but I think he copped a slight knock to his left hip a couple of weeks ago at training (he was lifting his jumper to look at his hip and then he went down the race). Lids seems to be fine now though going by the training pics from Echuca.

when do Richmond train next ?
Closed sessions this week according to the Club.
-
The NAB Cup squad had a 1 hour "closed" training session this morning. There was no actually gameplan scenarios. It was mostly the usual handball, kicking, goalkicking and run and carry drills just to sharpen everyone up before tomorrow night. The trained well too with a fair bit of intensity and the skill level was actually good albeit under little pressure. Hopefully that continues tomorrow night.
Gus, McGuane and Connors were also there. Connors and Gus ran laps while McGuane basically joined in with the main group. McGuane and Gus then towards the end of training were running around with the trainer playing kick to kick so I'd expect all aren't too far away. I think Gus said he's back into it next week. Connors apparently did something on Tuesday as a friend told me he was limping. Edwards pulled out towards the end of training to chat to the trainer but he rejoined in the goalkicking so I think he's okay.
St Kilda had a spy in the stands with binoculars and a mobile. Surprised no one kicked him out.
-
Connors apparently did something on Tuesday as a friend told me he was limping.
Hopefully not the ankle again. :-\
Geez he's had a very interrupted pre-season.
Disappointing.
-

Not sure what it is Magic. Daniel's just come back from the ankle he reinjured in the first place :P.

Training today was at a hot :P Victoria Park. The session went for around 2 1/2 hours with regular drinks breaks.
The whole squad, minus Cotchin, were present. Rance and Kingy only did the warm up from what I saw and Putt spent some time with Monkhurst. Rawlings thanked Rance afterwards for his encouraging words and talk while Kingy was offering advice to our defenders in particular Schulz. It was good to see Meyer train fully. Hopefully a sign he's getting over his hip injury.
After warming up with a run and in close handball drill, the squad spread out into small groups of 3-4 for the first drill which was to work on moving the ball quicky with runners receiving handball from markers. Basically a kick in from one goalsquare to HB then dish off and kick to the centre then dish off and kick inside 50 then dish off and kick a goal at the other end. They had two footys going at once end to end. Still the one too many missed targets but at least they were working on handball receives which they didn't do on Friday night.
Next up was 1-on-1 match-ups from the HB line. Inside forward 50 they had Schulz on Hughes, Thursty on Richo (where Thursty copped a cut to his leg towards the end of the drill and went off), Tucky on Lids. Moore was on either Browny or Petts. Moore was again the best defender following on from Friday night. Richo the best forward. The big fella held onto a ripper of a mark at full pace on the lead. He was holding onto everything that Thursty couldn't get a fist to. Unusual seeing Richo taking marks with his arms out away from his body (like they should be). They rotated players a few times so I can't remember all the match-ups. Rawlings was instructing near the goals while Wallace was barking instructions from the wing. One time both Polak and I think Petts or Collard both led out of the square leaving the goalsquare vacant which forced the inside 50 kick wide to Polak (which was too long btw). Plough told Rawlings that he wanted someone to run back to the goalsquare so the ball stayed in the corridor.
The last drill was an inside 50 kick one. They had a 3-on-3 contest on the HBF where the attacking teammate had to handball their way out of it (sometimes it looked a lot like Friday night :P but without the turnovers) and then pass to someone just outside 50. They then had to pass to a leading forward who needed to kick the goal otherwise everyone bar the kicker had to run a lap. Morton, Richo and Lids nailed their shots but Gourdis just missed his.
Training was then finished off with about 5 or 6 ~200m goal to goal runs and then another lap of Vic Park before warming down. Edwards fetched some ice to place on his quad. Rance had his foot and ankle in a bucket of ice.
Any questions just fire away.
-
Forgot to add there was a lot of emphasis on pressure and intensity today. Sugar saying at the end to the group that's the way we should always train.
Also when Terry had them in a huddle someone received a big round of applause. Not sure who or why. I was thinking it could be someone who hasn't played seniors but Cotchin and Rance injured I couldn't think who else it could be.

You may be right Gracie. Good thinking.

Great report mate. Did you actually hear sugar say that? You've seem many training sessions, can you actually say that this session today had a greater tempo than the previous sessions?
-

Yep. The drinks are right by the fence so he was clearly audible within the group.

Slightly but I wouldn't say massively. It was bloody hot today though so I'll give them some slack today.
I thought they were more vocal. The kept saying to each other more pressure and intensity and certain players would get ticked off with themselves or apologise to teammates if they stuffed up. Foley is probably the hardest on himself.
-
Thanks MT. One more thing, was Edwards & Conners in the drills?
-

Yes both were in the midfield group. Probably up there with our better skilled players from what I saw of them. I didn't see them have a bad kick or anything.
-
Well done again MT. Did you notice how Foley trained? I'm still a bit nervous about the rumour doing the rounds re: shin splints (knowing how debilitating and long term they can be).
-

Trained the whole 2 1/2 hours and was running and leading hard. Even gave I think Polo a nice bump off the ball to win the footy in a 50/50 contest. As I mentioned in the other thread, in the 200m and 400m runs he was finishing first. Hardly a sign of someone with shin splints.

Rance had his right foot/ankle in a bucket of ice water for the last 30 minutes or so of the session. I'm not 100% sure how bad it is but he's able to stand and walk and he said he'll be right. There was no mention by the trainers of any other long-term injuries apart from Cotchin of course. McGuane is fine. Trained for the full session. Same goes for Meyer, Thursty, Connors, Gus and Howat who have all recently been on the sidelines yet all trained fully yesterday.
-
Thanks MT.
Great report. :bow
Hope Collins does get his chance. I think he needs a match situation in the Y&B no matter how mickey-mouse it is.

Fantastic news there MT, thanks again.

Well done as always MT. Appreciated. 8)

Welcome to OER richoman.
How did hughes flatten shulz
No flattening at training yesterday. Both didn't see much of the footy in their duel. Kingy was instructing Schulz to keep sticking his hip into Hughes so Sarge could know where Cleve was via body-contact rather than turning around.

sorry must have read something different

sorry must have read something different
Sorry richoman I now remember what you're referring to but that was from an earlier intra-club scratch match a couple weeks back when Cleve did nail Sarge. Yesterday's best bump was Foley bundling Polo out the way in a 50/50 contest.
-
Training yesterday was at a warmish sunny Vic Park. The whole group was present and trained except for Cotchin and Meyer who were in rehab. I missed the first part but they would've trained for 2 hours all up.
Initially the squad was split into smaller groups all doing different things. I was told the Storm boys were down again to take tackling practice. Simmo, Cartledge, Gus, Patto and Putt were practising ruck work. Others were doing handball and kicking drills. They then all came together for a standard longer kicking drill and circle work.
Next up was a newish drill where it looked like it was designed to make players spread out into space and encourage longer forward handballs to runners (rather than little sideways or backward handballs) and to have the attacking team linking up properly with overlap and support. Terry was constantly barking out instructions especially if he felt there wasn't enough support for the player with the ball and he couldn't move the ball on quickly as it should've been. Plough should use this drill more often as it's the less possession quick forward moving footy we should be playing. As for the drill itself it began with about 12 mids (6-on-6) at CHB and the attacking team had to get to one of the two forwards. There were a few straightforward marks dropped today for some unknown reason. Clever dropped one and to add insult stubbed his toe on the lead but he's okay. Polak dropped a couple of marks also and then missed a set shot at goal so Terry said to him "if you can't do it Polly you can't play there". Polly then marked and kicked the next one and Terry said much better Polly. Polak also laid on off to Tuck rather than have a shot himself 30m out on a 45 degree angle.
The last drill was an inside 50 passing one like last week. They had a 3-on-3 contest on the HBF where the attacking teammates had to handball their way out of it and then pass to someone just outside 50. Sometimes it worked well with one quick handball and a long handpass or kick out to someone who had run hard out into space; other times it didn't work too well when they didn't spread out and the player with the ball had to dodge and weave, or they overhandballed. Once clear into space they then had to pass to a leading forward who needed to kick the goal otherwise everyone bar the kicker had to run a lap. Jack kicked one and missed one from his two shots. Edwards missed his shot. Lids kicked his. Tambo nailed his to end the drill and the whole group ran to him.
Training was then finished off with about 8 ~200m goal to goal runs. The boys were breathing pretty heavily by the sixth run but after a drink finished strongly. Blingers and Axel received praise. Cotch, Meyer, Thursty, Petts, Bowden, King, Collins, Cartledge, Connors and Tucky didn't do any running at the end.
Chocco Royal showed he still has the skills kicking grubbers from the boundary through the goals 9 out 10 attempts :clapping. A trainer near us then said at least he (Royal) can show them what to do unlike the bloke we use to have who didn't have a clue not naming names of course :shh.
Any questions just fire away.

These drills sound hopeful. The coaching staff appear to know where the problems lie, hopefully the new drill may have an effect on our play. Anything to reduce the amount of chipping around we seem to do. I really like the emphasis the first drill seems to have on supporting the ball carrier.
MT, the trouble we were having with the second of these drills when it didn't work so well, was this caused by poor skill or was it good pressure?
Polak dropped a couple of marks also and then missed a set shot at goal so Terry said to him "if you can't do it Polly you can't play there".
lol Too right!

I thought Meyer was injury free?
Any news on this MT?

I guess his hip is still giving him trouble. :-\

Danny is close to playing. Not sure why he didn't train at all yesterday but a friend at training spoke to him at Family Day and he hopes to play next week for Coburg.

MT, the trouble we were having with the second of these drills when it didn't work so well, was this caused by poor skill or was it good pressure?
Not so much poor skill although there was the occasional poor handball or footpass. Moreso pressure and poor decision making by both the player with the footy (not taking the first option) and his teammates who stayed too close to him and didn't find clear space further away to offer up a clear option.
Given there were 3 attacking teammates the drill worked the best when the 2nd attacker ran quickly pass to first attacker with the footy, received the handpass and then kicked to the third attacker who had ran away 30m from the contest into space towards the centre corridor. He could then pass to the first guy who then runs forward to create an overlap over the top of a defender and then this first guy has the choice to give off to the 2nd attacker supporting him (overlap over the top of a defender) or if clear just run and bounce himself and pass to the leading forward. Hope that makes some sense.

Sorta along the lines of who should play this week or how.
We get to a real game situation and some are like rabbits in a spotlight. cough cough KJ
Should be using pracice matches as real game simulation instead of 'practice' as such.
We can use them as practice matches when we are up with the eagles and the cats of the world.
Until then soldiers at war in all situations ..... lmao doubt some of them are capable ..... LMAROGutless

If Meyer's hip is as bad as I have heard then unfortunately it's curtains.
You DO NOT want to be having major hip problems at 21.
They are almost impossible to shake and will continue to haunt him unfortunately..
Thanks for the reports as always MT.
How is Luke mcGuane shaping up and any idea how Connors is progressing?

McGuane returned to full training last week. Connors returned the week or two before that IIRC. Both played in the Coburg intra-club last weekend. I haven't seen either yet in a game situation so it's hard to tell footy wise how much they have improved although both are training well and moving freely without standing out. Connors has had an interrupted preseason so that could affect him this year in terms of fitness. He still has all the smarts and skills. McGaune also missed a fair chunk of the preseason but he played with mild OP last year so he wasn't 100% last year either despite breaking into the senior side. I think with Luke we'll have to wait and see how he goes in the real stuff. Both may start off the year at Coburg IMO.
On Danny, if he breaks down again soon after returning then obviously his hip problem is far more serious than the club is saying publicly.

The club wanted to see how Danny goes if and when he gets over his hip problem. He may be playing for Coburg tomorrow but if not then next week.

Training today was at a warmish Vic Park. The whole squad was present with Cotchin, Simmo, Polak, Kingy and Meyer in the rehab group with Collard joining them late on. I forgot to mention in the injury thread that Gus also has a slight niggle in the groin/upper right leg.
When I arrived the squad was doing some in close handball work on the wing. Next up was a drill similar to what they did last week designed to make players spread out and run hard into space and encourage longer forward handballs and to runners and to have the attacking team linking up properly with overlap and support. Once again you had about 12 mids (6-on-6) at CHB and the attacking team had to get to one of three forwards - Lids vs Newy, Hughes vs Thursty and Edwards vs Moore. This week it seemed the runners were running more at full tilt when receiving the footy. Only spotted one stuff up where the handball was a fraction too behind the player running at full pace.
The following drill was similar except Rawlings situated himself about 25-30m out from goal facing away from the goals and the long kick forward was deliberately batted down to work on crumbing. Initially the players attacking overran the ball getting too close to Rawlings allowing the defending team to clean up (Moore was excellent in one play). After about the 4th or 5th go the attackers started to get their hands on it better with Petts kicking about 3 goals and Tambo, Whitey, Edwards, Browny and McGuane kicking one a piece. Edwards set up McGuane's goal cleverly where he scooped the loose ball from Rawlings' bat down and with two defenders chasing him towards the pocket he did this classy look away handball straight to McGuane running past who didn't need to break stride and ran into an open goal :clapping :bow. Shane got a big cheer and high 5's from the rest of the group too.
Next up was footpassing circle work with a twist at the end. With the squad split into 5 groups spread around the ground the ball was passed from one group to the next until it got to the last group on the wing who had to pass to one of the assistant coaches who were randomly calling for the ball leading from different positions inside 50. It was cleanly done (as were all the drills today) so I watched Gourdis' kicking a fair bit during this drill. He's fine over short-mid distances with his kicking but his action looks a bit clumsy when he has to stretch for distance and he floats it up and under.
The session finished with the squad spilting up into smaller groups to work on specific skills. Gus, Putt and Cartledge were with Monkhurst doing ruck practice; Foley, Cogs, Sugar, Collins and Whitey were with Chocco practising ground-ball work bouncing off a bag. The rest were doing some run and carry and set shot goalkicking. Hughes was working on his marking on the lead.
While warming down the players mentioned they had group meetings (back, mid, forward) in the afternoon to go to.

I see Lids has dyed his hair again lol.
Thanks MT. Boys look like they are growing up a bit in those pictures.

Great report again MT, by the way how is Rance and why hasn't Edwards been selected for the Cats game??
-
Great report again MT, by the way how is Rance and why hasn't Edwards been selected for the Cats game??
WAT, I haven't heard anything new about Rance. Although those photos of him on the ground clutching his ankle make it look serious, he walked off the ground fairly calmly with no noticable limp just chatting with the trainer that the problem was when he changed direction. It didn't come across as being too serious an ankle injury but I'm guessing they will cautious with it given he has re-injured it and give it more than enough time to fully heal.
Edwards had a slight quad injury last week so although he trained fully yesterday I guess they are bringing him back via Coburg.
-
Excellent work MT. I hear on the grapevine that Shane Edwards is lacking form, from your observations how hard is he training, is he making more errors than 'good' things? Does he deserve a spot in the 22 for Round 1?
-
From Tuesday's training he looked classy 3121. No noticable mistakes that I saw. I thought Edwards missing out on selection was more due to him coming back from the quad he had but I didn't see how he went for Coburg last weekend to judge his form in games where it matters.
-
How are Connors & Polo traveling MT?
-
How are Connors & Polo traveling MT?
I didn't notice Polo too much on Tuesday Magic to be honest. He was there and training but he didn't stand out from the others.
I'm glad you brought up Connors as he was really feeling it towards the end of one of the last drills. Had his arms on his head haunched over slightly trying to gather his breath. Being pale skinned showed up him being red in the face. Newy who was playing as a defender on Lids walked over to Connors and gave him a encouraging tap on the bum to keep going which to his credit he did. Not surprising his fitness base is down given he missed most of the preseason due to that ankle.

These are two young footballers(see gatherers) I'd hoped a large amount of our improvement would come from.
To hear that they (along with Cotchin & Edwards) are struggling doesn't give me any joy whatsoever. :-[

Training was again at Vic Park today. Typical Melbourne weather too. Pouring with rain at first then bright sunshine lol.
All Tigers were present. In rehab were Cotchin, Meyer, Polak, Simmo, Gus and Patto. I think Patto was just rested. Schulz was around the place too. Everyone else trained fully.
No real specific or technical drills today. No game based stuff either. More your general circle work of kicking, handballing, marking and goalkicking so not much to report on that front except the skills were clean (no pressure of course ;) ). The whole group seemed very happy and jovial. I was told the boys regularly catch up with each other for dinner so some signs of the team bonding. Highlight of the day was Daniel Jackson letting go of a massive barrel from inside the square that went straight between the big sticks :clapping. The session only went for an hour and a bit as they play a game tomorrow. Gourdis and Rance were last to leave practising banana kicks.
One of the tv networks had a camera down at training so a chance there might be some footage on the news. I didn't notice Plough or any of the assistant coaches do an interview though.
Any questions just fire away.
-
Rance's ankle can't be too serious if he was kicking bananas and not in the rehab group.
Do you know if Meyer is still going to play for Coburg?
EDIT: I just read the Injury thread, answered all my questions :thumbsup
You've got all bases covered MT :bow

Training today was again at a warm Vic Park. They trained for a couple of hours. Every Tiger was present except for JON and of course Meyer who was having his operation on his hip. I don't know why JON was absent. Initially in the rehab group were Cotchin, Polak and Schulz. I didn't see it but I was told Cotch was also doing some roving work to the ruckmen :thumbsup. Later on Polly and Sarge left and Cotch was joined by McGuane, Connors, Collard, Rance, King and Gourdis. Rance said he's ankle is fine and he's playing tomorrow for Coburg. Luke is also playing for Coburg tomorrow. Not sure about any others. Cass came off towards the end of training and went down the race with a trainer. I'm hoping he's okay.
As for the drills from what I saw - they began with the standard circle work of marking and kicking to one another. They then did more specific 1-on-1 stuff. The first of these drills was to start with a 10 vs 10 situation deep in the backline and then the attacking team (in black) had to run off hard into space and link up to work the ball forward. The defending side was continually told to apply pressure and were given a wrap when a turnover was caused. Not too many today thankfully. Once they got the ball to just inside the square at CHF the attacking player with the footy would pass it long to one of the assistant coaches and then the defending side (in orange singlets) became the attackers and vice versa and they worked the ball the other way. The various match-ups were rotated so hard to say who beat who but Foley and Blingers stood out.
The next drill was similar except it was 5 vs 5 so obviously there was more space and longer runs and more bounces. Terry would yell out if the attackers weren't running into space enough. It meant the player with ball had to run and bounce or stop and prop for too long. A couple of times there were 100m run and bounces from the backline to the forward line (Foley, Tivs and Blingers) due to everyone else being manned up which is unrealistic and won't happen in a real game. As for the drill itself David King and Rawlings would pump the ball towards a pack at the Yarra Falls end goals. Richo took some top contested marks and it looked like Blingers took one too reaching up and snagging a grab. If the ball spilled then the 5 attackers would move the ball forward towards the Sherrin stand goals where they had to pinpoint a forward. Riewoldt, Whitey and Tucky had shots but missed :-\. Jacko did a brilliant 50m pass to Whitey on the lead btw :clapping. Gave even Lids no chance to spoil. Foley kicked a couple on the run as did Tivs. Tivs was very good today btw. Ran and worked hard to his credit. If only Tivs had a right foot and didn't have to cut back on his left all the time. I guess we can say that about a few of our left-footers.
And that was about it. They warmed down and then headed off.
Any questions just fire away.

Yes I saw that too. Pretty silly attitude. I was actually surprised by the poster who did it since I didn't expect it from them. Problem with the particular site you are referring to is that links to this site are not allowed and the swear filter (or whatever) automatically gets rid of them. Makes it difficult to post a link. :-\
Oh. Thanks for the report MT BTW. Much appreciated as always. :thumbsup

Well done again MT on another fantastic report. To some of you that actually have a problem with posting the link to this site on another site for the training report thread then I do not understand you. I have actually posted the training link on another site and MT and the training report has had nothing off that site personnel but praise. I have actually read some pretty poor posts on this site regarding, our game plan, Wallace, Meyer and just about everything else to do with the RFC. Please have a good look at some of your posts before submitting them, this is probably one of the reasons I do not regularly post here as there are a lot of negative posts that do not contain much thought. With the exception of the moderators and some of the veterans on this site some of you need to take a good look at what you are saying.
I have also posted a link on this site from another forum and MT did not seem to mind, however if you do mind me posting your fantastic training reports on the other site MT please let me know and I will just continue to check here for the updates.

Hi WAT,
I don't like beating around the bush so what I am referring to is posting links to OER on PRE. If you put in http://oneeyed-richmond.com/ in a post on PRE it gets filtered out so it is non sensible and will not take you to this site. There is some history between the two sites which I frankly do not care to know too much about but the upshot is is is not possible to post links to OER there. That is neither here nor there as far as I am concerned since it is up to the owners and moderators of each site to run their site as they like. I hold no grudge against either.
As for the negative posting I tend to agree. It is easily ignored I find, but can get tiresome after a loss or an appearance by TW or GM in the media. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and I certainly have an opinion about the posting to which you are referring but I keep it to myself since there is little point in arguing and I don't want to encourage discussion. It is a pity since this site has a lot to offer and that negativity you refer to can be very unattractive.

Yeah look I hope I didn't offend anyone and thanks for the support Y&B & RROFO. This site is really good and I would love to post here more and just might. Maybe that way I could help change the culture of a few people, I am as passionate as anyone when it comes to the Tiges, I hate when they lose, I hate the turnovers, the poor skill level, but that is done as a team and that is theissue that we need to discuss. I am sick of lynching players.

I don't know if you're the culprit WAT but I have been seeing a few OER training reports cut and paste onto other sites (more than one) without a link or due acknowledgement to the author.
There used to be a general ettiquette when it came to sourcing from other sites whether it be an official news site or a general forum. A - ALWAYS provide a link. B - try not to quote the entire thing word for word if it's not yours. ie. show the sentence or paragraph that proves your point but not the entire 1500 words. C - (optional) identify the author by name, but definitely don't claim it as yours.
That's basically it.

Spot on. MT has done an amazing job and deserves all due credit. The same if someone wrote something on another site and we quoted it here, a link, an acknowledgement is in order.

Exactly. That was the only point I was making. It's common internet courtesy to credit the original source of info and it goes for everyone as Moi and Obelix said :).
Anyway we're getting away from comments about training which is what this thread is about :thumbsup.

I have actually read some pretty poor posts on this site regarding, our game plan, Wallace, Meyer and just about everything else to do with the RFC. Please have a good look at some of your posts before submitting them, this is probably one of the reasons I do not regularly post here as there are a lot of negative posts that do not contain much thought. With the exception of the moderators and some of the veterans on this site some of you need to take a good look at what you are saying.
I have also posted a link on this site from another forum and MT did not seem to mind, however if you do mind me posting your fantastic training reports on the other site MT please let me know and I will just continue to check here for the updates.
To all of you that can't support the RFC and our players through the hard times go and follow someone else and join the Bigfooty forum!!
:thumbsup The silence from the antagonists is deafening.

Yeah look I hope I didn't offend anyone and thanks for the support Y&B & RROFO. This site is really good and I would love to post here more and just might. Maybe that way I could help change the culture of a few people, I am as passionate as anyone when it comes to the Tiges, I hate when they lose, I hate the turnovers, the poor skill level, but that is done as a team and that is theissue that we need to discuss. I am sick of lynching players.
Lynching players, ummmmmmm
Move over Tivs, welcome Jordon McMahon :lol

Rance's ankle can't be too serious if he was kicking bananas and not in the rehab group.
Has Alex progressed to kicking footies yet?
Sorry, been looking at that line for days and eventually couldn't help myself.

No proper report today as I got there late and in any case I was told they didn't do much today anyway given they're playing tomorrow.
While the 28 squad were stretching and warming down after training Terry walked around and had a chat to a few of them. Had a longish chat with Hughes with Cleve nodding. A friend said they were told Cleve still needed to learn how and when to lead so that's why he hasn't been getting much senior gametime and the reason he's spent time in defence to learn from other forwards.
I saw Connors and McGuane leaving early as I arrived. Apparently they were training with the Coburg group who were training earlier. I'm guessing that's everyone else outside the 28 squad. I forgot to ask about Meyer.
Schulz was driving today what looked like a navy/black subaru with P plates. They love their cars as there was about 8 Tigers around one car after training giving it as a rev in Lulie St.

Cheers MT good stuff, do you think Schulz will get up and Morton will be a late inclusion??
-
do you think Schulz will get up and Morton will be a late inclusion??
Hard to tell as I didn't see them do any contact work. Sarge looked to be moving fine from what I saw. I actually thought out of him and Polak he looked the more freer in movement walking off and up the race :-\.

Training today was at a soaking wet Vic Park. Seriously it was like the old suburban VFL days. No drainage and with large puddles of water lying on the surface. So much for the Matrix Men and their special hair products :lol. Browny and Lids were chucking mud pies at each other at the end of training.
Most of the 42 squad were present today. Only Cotch, Meyer, Cogs or Gus were absent. They also had a ring-in training with them so he could have been a Coburg player. Jacko still has that bandage around his head. As everyone was training there's no inkling as to who's coming in for Sugar and Howat. Terry spoke to Polo for a while at the end of training but really there were no clues.
I only saw the last 30 minutes but the drill I saw them do was a rebounding one from deep in defence from a batted down ball and then working their way up the ground to the forwards. Lots of running in numbers to support and block, handball receives and passing by foot to players leading into space. So going by today we're not going to change things too much from the Carlton game. Foot skills were actually good in the wet conditions btw. Those around the defensive contest were Newy, Thursty, Rainesy, Simmo, Edwards, Jordy, Polo, McGuane, Rance, Morton, Schulz, Tambo, Hyde, Silvester, Connors, Moore, Foley, Collo and Kingy. It looked like Richo, Browny and Lids were the forwards. Kel received a few wraps from the coaching staff for his efforts and Rance showed some toe running behind the contest to collect the pill then away from a chasing Lukey in the wet conditions. Schulz did some nice things too.
That was about it. Jack and a couple of others took some set shots at goal but they left pretty quickly after the main drill.

Ta 632. I wish I had my camera today as Vic Park was a swamp. Think of that Freo game 5 years ago at the 'G when it bucketed down all day. It was that much water on the surface.

A positive that Danny is back on the track after his op. Whether his hip is now right is yet to be seen though.

Just got back from training at Punt Road today. Beautiful day outside too. Only a skills session which went for about 45 minutes. The assistant coaches took the session as there was no sign of Terry who most likely was inside doing Tuesdays with Terry. The media (Ch 9) were filming so there might be some stuff on the news tonight.
In rehab were Cotchin (looks to be moving fine and helped rove to the ruckmen), Graham, Meyer, Connors, Polo and Edwards from what I saw. Edwards and Polo looked like they both had a limp.
Training had already started when I got there and they were doing some competitive group activity. Basically it was footy race between two teams up and back down Punt Road. The team that kicked a goal first won and it looked like the losers had to do some body rolls on the ground. Very animated especially the younger blokes after a goal was scored and they seemed in good spirits after such a bad loss. A friend I was sitting with commented why aren't they in such good spirits on gameday.
They then broke up into their various skill groups. Near us Royal was working with some of the mids/attacking defenders (Sugar, Tambo, Tivs, Joel, Newy, Tuck) on in-close work and keeping the arms away from the body dishing off by hand in a double tackle. The forwards practised their goalkicking - Richo, Cleve, Jack, Petts, Browny, Lids, Polak and Collard. It looked like Foley and Cotchin were roving to our ruckmen while they were working on their tapwork. The others were in the centre of the ground but I wasn't paying too much attention to them.
Tambo and Collard stayed behind going for torps at the goals. Polo did some reflex work with Flea.
And that was it. Any questions fire away.

Cheers tigersalive.
The main training session of the week is Thursday as it's a Sunday game. Some major overreaction on BF to what is meant to be a light session. Royal was at training too so it wasn't just Rawlings either. I reckon our players are soft enough as it is without needing the coach to hold their hand every minute. They're meant to be professional footballers :-\.
I forgot to say Rainesy and Thursty were also in the rehab group. I'm guessing Thursty was just resting up. Rainesy had a bandage around his knee and was doing some kick to kick.

I thought it was the norm for most clubs to give the assistants a go at the early week session.
I must admit him not turning up at all is a bit strange and pretty bloody hopeless though.
-
it may be the norm for developed hardened teams like sydney, geelong, etc, but for a team that desparately needs guidance, nurturing, development, leadership, direction, better game plan, better skills, more confidence such as rfc, the coach should be there 24/7
wallace can take a hike
-
If Wallace was doing media stuff & not at least watching training then l'm very disappointed in the way the club is run
We dont need media around the club at this time, this spin doctor has been going on with the same pathetic crap for 4 years
we were told media would be limited but infact its increased worse than before
Richmond are liars to there supporters, Gary march said he would put a stop to media & the players had to perform
all liars thats all l can say, its a spin to get supporters money. >:(

thats where the club is going wrong having the assistant coaches doing what Wallat is payed the huge money to do
if your not hands on your no coach IMV & may as well leave the club

March said at the time Tuesdays with Terry would continue but other media duties would be diminished.
I don't see the big deal for a short skills session. The gamestyle stuff is done later in the week. Are we meant to stand next to our players and hold their hand while they have shots at goal?! They're meant to be professional footballers with self-discipline. Plus the players are spoken to indoors before training starts and as WP said you can watch training from indoors at Punt Rd.
I would've thought some people would've been happy that Plough wasn't there coaching ;D.

Training today was at warm and sunny Vic Park. I only saw the last 30 minutes where they were doing 1-on-1 match simulation. Play as you train would be very apt today :-\. Terry took training today by the way for those interested and concerned lol.
Virtually all the squad was present. I didn't see Meyer, Cogs, Cleve or Gus but I may have left earlier. I was told by a friend that Foley spent the first half of the session with Rainesy in the rehab group.
The main news out of training was 3 new injuries :(. Cleve has apparently hurt his back, Polo his ankle (sat in the race with ice on it) and just our luck Cotchin had an ice pack on his right hammy. It could be precautionary as they told us he would be playing a half for the Coburg ressies and he was smiling and shaking hands with the trainers but if he misses you'll know why. Cotch trained with the main group for all but the last 5-10 minutes when he came off while training was still going and did some leg stretches while waiting for the ice pack.
Any questions just fire away.
-
Did they do any forward training?
Did they have any small players such as Edwards etc practising crumbing? What about Riewoldt - how did he go?
I'm interested - does Rance, Collard etc train with the main group? If so, how are they looking?

1. Not today specifically. More part of the full-scale match simulation.
2. Not crumbing off a pack but they did have the mids running around and opponent and kicking long running goals and across the body goals.
3. Jack was maily up the other end of the ground with the forwards so I didn't spot him too much. Took a couple of marks on the lead. He had a long talk with a couple of the coaches. He also was his usual vibrant self and took pot shots at goal on a sharp angle at the end of training.
4. Yep Rance and Collard train with the main group. I still can't under why Rance is playing VFL ressies when one or two others are struggling in the Coburg seniors. If Collard can get his fitness up then he'll be a dead-eye dick in the forward line.

Noticed on the VFL site and the teams that Rance is named on the extended interchange for the seniors

Ta WP. Good to see :thumbsup.

I didn't make training today but I bumped into a mate who did. It was just a short 30min skilled session at Punt Rd and if I heard him right Jack and Moore took the session. The whole squad was present from what he saw. The only concern was Sugar who had a big bandage wrapped around his thigh but when he asked one of the trainers they said Sugar will be fine for Sunday so hopefully it's only a precautionary measure.
-
Yeah wouldnt expect it to be much after a getting into town early Monday morning (2am) and then having recovery session yesterday arvo.
Rev it up on Thursday. :thumbsup
-
Training today was at Punt Rd. They were meant to start at 11 but they really didn't get out there until 11.30 and the trained for only a hour and a quarter or thereabouts. No surprise given they are backing up after the trip to Perth.
As mentioned in the changes thread, all 22 from the Freo game trained along with Joel, Tivs, Jacko, Howat, Petts and Gus. Petts trained with the main group but during the breaks and afterwards he had long chats with one of the recovery trainers about his right thigh just above his knee. Rainsey was with a trainer on the boundary do some ball and reflex work. Cleve, Cass, Meyer and JON were in casuals. Jack while having a ping at the goals from the boundary kicked one off the side of his boot and almost hit JON in the back of the head as he was walking out of Punt Rd. Missed only by a whisker and JON's head quickly shot around :lol.
As for training itself they did a lot of work on clearing the ball from stoppages in particular ball-ups and then hitting a lead inside 50. Lids, Jack, Morton and Patto were the noticeable forwards (i.e. No Richo up forward ;) ). One thing that was noticeable was a number of the cubs can clear the ball forward without needing to do a great big u-turn unlike some senior fringe players. They whole squad also worked on their midfield spread running into space to offer option and moving the ball in numbers through the corridor.
And that was about it. Jack, Patto and Edwards stayed behind longer to do some goalkicking.
Any questions just fire away.
-
Training today was at a sunny Punt Rd Oval. The whole squad was present and it was only a short session which went for around 45 minutes.
Before training started Meyer, Petts and Tivs were doing some straight running drills with the fitness coordinator while Kingy was running laps. They formed the rehab group along with appearances at various stages by Hyde, Cotchin, Gus, Rainesy, Collard and Cogs. Cogs didn't do much apart from so hand reflex drills and then when everyone had gone in he stayed out there with the fitness cordinator doing some technical things with his running like high-knee skips.
Royal mentioned to a group of school kids watching training that given the game was on Sunday the players are still sore from such a physical game. So today was more about the players keeping their hands sharp and as motivation is harder when the players are sore they also try to make it a bit of fun. Putt was given the job of leading training initially - running a lap, stretching and a game where the players got into a big circle with someone in the middle and the rest of the group had to copy the party trick the teammate in the middle was doing. So there were a few basketball moves with the footy moving it around the body, around the legs, etc. Edwards got them to catch the ball behind their back and poor gangly Gus had the footy going everywhere except behind his back ;D.
The next part of training was the players breaking up into the specific skill groups. Royal said this was designed for players to either work on their weaknesses or strengthen their strengths. Most of the younger Coburg based boys were doing to kick-to-kick with their non-preferred foot and hitting a 25m away target with a man on the mark. They were overseen by McRae. The young rucks and mids were with Monkhurst. Royal said that was for them to work on understanding the hitting zones at stoppages. Richo, Browny, Cleve, Jack and Schulz were in the forwards group at the Brunton Avenue end with Rawlings while the rest were in the middle with David King. Royal said as he is director of football he oversees training. He said Terry has to face the Board tonight.
Royal also gave a basic run down on training each week. Given a Sunday game, Monday is recovery day and a team review of the game the previous day.
Tuesday starts at 7.30am. They have a massage, do a weights session then come out to train lightly before having lunch in the social room and then if in the senior side watch their individual tapes.
Wednesday the Coburg RFC boys watch their tapes and then the boys walk through the upcoming opposition set-ups. Royal mentioned Hawthorn's defence sets up as a zone like in soccer.
Thursday is the main training session for the week.
Friday is their day off.
Saturday morning they do their final training.
For Saturday and Friday night games all that comes forward to the day before or two respectively.
That's about it. Any questions just fire away :cheers.

Great report mightytiges... :clapping

Training today was at a sunny and warm Punt Rd Oval. I only saw the last hour or so but they were out there for an hour and a half.
It looked as though only the squad for Sunday and a few underdone ring ins were at training - Newy, Thursty, Lids, Simmo, Polak, Browny, Jack, Edwards, Joel, Richo, McMahon, Petts, McGuane, Sugar, Putt, Morton, Tuck, Meyer, Jackson, Schulz, Patto, Blingers, Hyde, Cleve, White, Moore, Foley, Collins, Gus and Kingy. Everyone was wearing different guernsey numbers to their normal ones probably in a bit of a silly attempt to confuse Hawk spies. I think we can tell Blingers from Hydey Terry ;D.
It was good to see Danny training fully. A friend at training said Danny told him within the last week that he hasn't felt as good in ages. Petts left about halfway through the time I was there but looked to be moving fine. Kingy hardly trained and went indoors. The trainer said he'll be fine for Sunday. Putt and Cleve did a lot of 1-on-1 marking with Monkhurst with Monky telling Putty to put his body between the fall of the ball and his opponent so the opponent has to go through you to reach the footy.
As for training itself it was mostly match simulation. The squad was split into two teams and they worked on full ground rebounding from defence, run and carrying through the midfield and then spotting a teammate inside 50. Out of interest Richo was playing in defence at one end (more loose man) while Jack was used both as a forward and defender. Going by today I doubt we'll be changing the way we play from the last 2 weeks. In fact today was full on direct attack - a few change of hands out of defence, Blingers, Newy, Lids and co sprinting through the centre corridor and then spotting someone on a 45 degree lead or long and deep to the top of the square where Polak was. Browny, Morton and Edwards were the small forward while Lids was used both as a forward and midfielder. Morton just adds so much footy smarts to our forward line.
They then finished with some goalkicking on the run and hitting teammates on the lead from a kick about 60-70m out. Jack, Edwards, Blingers and Lids stayed out longer to practice kicking goals around their body from an acute angle.
Any questions just fire away.

Thanks for the kind words Snatch and welcome aboard OER :) :cheers

The only thing I would say RROFO is the ultra direct play they were doing at training looked like they were planning to K.I.S.S. in wet weather. Don't stuff around with it; just get it forward quickly. Other than that it was hard to simulate wet weather conditions when it was dry and warm. We told Tucky it was going to be wet and he seems to be looking forward to it. It'll probably suit him when you think about it.
Just on another thing Moore received praise from Wallace for his defensive reading of the play while Lids after stuffing up a kick that went straight to Moore was told there were no reputations here Brett.

Good to hear. Reputations should mean nothing, every one should be seen as equal. Frankly Lids has no reputation yet only perceived potential.

Training today was at a cold and blustery Punt Rd Oval. They didn't train for long (about an hour or so) and it was pretty much a light session for the main training session of the week. I'm guessing that's due to the 6-day break.
Virtually the whole squad was there. The only one I didn't see was Cam but I could have missed him. Foley spent most of session indoors as I was told he was limping yesterday with some lower leg problem but he came out with Flea towards the end to work on some quick release handball and he told us he was fine to play. Rainesy was doing some kicking early on before heading indoors. No other injury concerns from what I could see.
Drill wise they had players in pairs on the edge of the square with one chasing and trying to catch the other who was running with the ball towards goal. They had Bowden paired up with Moore and Joel couldn't catch Kel. After that the talls were working on their speccies and Polak, in flying for the mark over the bag, went A over T and landed heavily. He's okay but he had everyone laughing as he gingerly got up off the ground. The mark of the day went to big Cartledge who took a one-hander. While they were doing that Cleve, Edwards, McGuane, Silvester, Rance and Meyer were having shots at goal. Poor Cleve was getting frustrated with the breeze pushing the ball strongly to the right but he stayed out there having shots for about 20 minutes. Edwards also did some tackling drills with Connors and Jack.
Any questions just fire away.

Yes, very very strong through the hips and legs. Definitely what you need to be able to break tackles.

A typical Melbourne day for training at Punt Rd. Started off in sunshine followed by dark clouds and rain lol.
I actually got their early and the younger Coburg RFC players were out training with Rawlings - Polo, Rance, Putt, Meyer, Cogs, Collard, JON, Gourdis, Cleve, Silvester, Cass, Cartledge, Connors, Collins and Gus. They were wrestling each other in pairs. The last of them was Putty trying to get the ball of Rance with everyone standing around them in a circle laughing and encouraging Putty.
While this was going on Rainesy was have a kick-to-kick with a trainer and as mentioned in the other thread Whitey was having a fitness test. They basically got him to do some technique drills with his running, 20m and 50m sprinting, changing direction sharply around 5 cones, and then finishing with some kicking. Matty got through it all and then trained with the main squad. After training Plough had a lengthy chat with him.
The main squad was the 25 named plus Bowden and Tivs. They had a quick warm-up and then went back inside. Stan Alves then suddenly turned and was taken into the rooms so I presume he was there to give the boys a pep talk. A friend suggested he maybe still holding a grudge towards the idiots at Linton St who gave him the sack a year after getting them into a GF and he wants us to pump them lol.
As far as training was concerned they were only out there for half an hour and they just did some close-in handball, circle work by foot and then spotting up leads in the forward line from 60-70m out. It was wet so not much use training on a heavy ground when we are playing at the sterile Dome off a 6-day break.
The funniest thing from today was Kingy asking for a new guernsey and the trainer brought out Mitch Morton's spare. Kingy starts trying to get it over his head and shoulders and it gets stuck because it's too small for him. He then had to get the trainer to pull it off for him and they got Sarge's one for him instead. I didn't think Kingy was that much bigger in the upper body than Morton but there you go.
Any questions then fire away.

Hiya all.
I usually post on Y&B and am a long time reader first time poster.
MT, thanks for all your training reports. I don't know where you find the time but they are always a pleasure to read.
From what you saw today, will any of the emergencies or Tiv or Bowden come into the line up for Whitey or anyone else?

Welcome to OER Con65 and thanks for the kind words :)
From what I saw today we will be unchanged for tomorrow night. Everyone named in the squad including Whitey trained fully and got through.
-
Training today was at an overcast Punt Rd Oval. Training started around 10am and went for around an hour and a half. Most of the squad were present from what I saw. The only ones absent were Richo who is training with the Dream Team squad today at the 'G while I didn't see Morton and Kingy out there but may have missed them.
In the rehab group were Howat, with his right calf bandaged, who spent a while just running laps along the boundary. Rainesy had a bit of a kick-to-kick with one of the fitness blokes. He's got a bandage on his knee. Moore did some 100m runs on the far side of the ground as did Gus. Foley and Simmo just did some reflex drills for half and hour as they'll be training with Victoria this week.
The session itself was more like a preseason one in terms of the drills they did. First the squad split into 2 groups with one group getting into 3 small circles of about 6 with 2 players in the middle battling for handballs from those on the rim of the circle. Each clean handball receive and give off was given a point. Joel was trailing Polo 3-6 but Joel took the last 4 points and David King gave him a pat on the head. Cotchin was up against Gourdis and made this drill look so easy. While others were over each other wrestling for front position, Cotch was just too nimble and strong in the hips and had plenty of time to receive and then give off. While that was going on, the second group were working on linking up via hand. Running up to Royal in a line of 6 and then competing 3 attackers vs 3 defenders on the way back. After 15 minutes the 2 groups swapped over. Blingers hurt his ankle halfway through it in a tackle and had to head into the rooms for treatment but he returned 10 minutes and completed training.
The next drill focussed on clearing from a stoppage and entering the forward 50 and goaling. 6 vs 6 mini teams with the attackers linking up via handball and then passing to someone inside 50 who in turn would dish off by hand to someone running past and goaling. A few basic skill errors and missed targets to remind us of Saturday night :P. Cass walked off and went into the rooms midway through but I'm not sure what is wrong. Hopefully he hasn't copped another injury :-\.
They then finished off with some goalkicking across the body. David Kingy was getting a group near him to do it with someone on their tail. Joel, McGuane, Connors, Edwards, Jack, Gourdis, Thursty, Newy, Blingers, Cotchin, Jordie, Patto, JON, Silvester and Cartledge stayed out longer to work on set shots and let go of torp after torp. Jack tried about 3 times going the torp and none of them connected properly so I can see why he went the drop punt. In fact most of the boys couldn't get the torp to go straight. One off-target torp just missed by a whisker a very expensive silver car parked to the side of the goals. Some very relieved faces :lol
Any question just fire away.
-
MT how did Polak train? Was his ommission from the StK game due to injury or just strategic matchups?
Also does Cotchin look like he is ready for his senior debut against Geelong or more likely the following week?
-
MT how did Polak train? Was his ommission from the StK game due to injury or just strategic matchups?
I didn't notice Polly too much to be honest. What I saw him do was solid and clean but nothing noteworthy or outstanding. I have no idea why he dropped out before the game as he looked to be moving fine today. In that case it could've been strategic with us wanting an extra runner at the Dome but that's just a guess and I wouldn't know any more than your good self Con.
Also does Cotchin look like he is ready for his senior debut against Geelong or more likely the following week?
Skill wise Cotch is definitely ready (during the goalkicking with an opponent on his tail he was strong enough in the hips to hold his balance in the tackle and free up his leg enough to chip kick over someone in front of him for a goal :clapping). However with no preseason he's obviously going to have to be patient and build up his match fitness more at Coburg. He's keen to play that's for sure.
-
Great report as always MT. You do sound excited about Trent. :thumbsup
Casserly can't take a trick. Hard to believe he's yet to play a senior game yet..
-
Thanks MT much appreciated.
I agree Polly out sounds like it was strategic to have more pace than the Saints. Esp as the Saints dropped Blake and were one taller player down.
-
cotch is young and is fit, he is ready, just a matter of time
-
Pleasing to hear that Cogs is in full training, how does he look to you MT?
-
he looks buffed ans sexy lol
-
he looks buffed ans sexy lol
Not exactly what I meant but whatever floats your boat. ;D
More interested in how he's moving and whether he is doing full contact work etc..
-
Pleasing to hear that Cogs is in full training, how does he look to you MT?
Cogs looks to be moving confidently as far as the knee goes (touchwood). I guess the next test is whether he can adjust to the extra pace of the game now (he probably won't have to face that issue yet in the VFL given his footy smarts) and also whether his body can hold up given the amount of footy he's missed (ie. not copping anymore soft tissue injuries like hammies). He's only just got back into full training so he's going to be rusty and needed to be rotated on and off the bench until he gains some match fitness.
-

Training report - Wednesday 14th May
Training today was at a sunny Punt Rd Oval and roughly went for 2 hours. A Geelong spy was watching as he was jotting down things on a piece of paper. Everyone except Hughes were present. Simmo, Richo and Foley were only given light duties after playing in the hall of fame game. Simmo had a stretch bandage around his knee but he was moving fine. Richo and Axel only joined in full training in the last 30 mins. Likewise Kingy with his wrist only joined in towards the end. He was marking the ball okay so he may play this week. Sugar also didn't train. He was out early on then went inside. Rainesy and Cass were popping in and out of the rooms.
As far as actual training went, it was very much match-based.
They had a mini scratch match for starters. Fairly physical too for training and the way they set up at stoppages with huge numbers around the ball seemed to be a deliberate ploy to get them to work on being hard at the footy and the man with the footy as well as work on skills in tight spaces. A Edwards (high-ish) tackle on Petts was no training drill lol. They were all wearing different numbers to what they usually wear so at times it was difficult to pick up who was who but most impressive were Blingers' run through the middle, Sarge's defensive work (spoils, smothers and footskills rebounding out of defence) and Jack leading and presenting from CHF and up to the wing. Reckon he had half a dozen marks. Putt and Hyde kicked a couple of long goals from a 45 degree angle on the run which received praise from the coaches. Cogs was fine at this stage of training. He feigned about 4 gives in traffic before trying a banana on the boundary which was smothered by Schulz. Browny though left the track after the scratch match and went inside the rooms. He looked okay though.
Next up the group split into two groups of midfielders and about 4 forwards/defenders who went 1-on-1 for a rebounding from defence and hitting a inside 50 target. From memory inside 50 it was Polak vs Gourdis (Dave did well spoiling actually), Morton vs McMahon (Mitch won this duel easily - he was on fire today), Bowden vs Rance and Jack vs Silvester. Each of the two midfield groups would be split into teams of attackers and defenders and the attackers starting in defence needed to get it to one of the forwards inside 50. After each go the trainers had a couple of tackle bags with a ball on top and the midfielders had to run back to the wing and slam into the bags and then get the ball back to a teammate. They repeated this attacking inside 50 drill starting with a stoppage on the wing. Blingers again and Morton stood out.
For the last drill, it was another rebounding from defence one whereby McRae would bomb the ball into the defensive 50 where Richo would knock the ball down or either mark and give off by hand to crumbers who would cut it out to a teammate sitting wide off the pack and then they would all run forward linking up and footpassing to others in space. As well as Richo, Kingy and Foley joined in and Kingy looked fine and didn't seem hampered by his wrist injury.
After the main drills, they finished off in smaller groups doing specialised training. Collard, Rance, Gourdis, Jack, Putt and Cotchin were working on tackling techniques with McRae. Jack also joined Silvester, McGuane and Rawlings for mark on a bag. McGuane once didn't bother with the bag and took a bit of a specky on the back of Rawlings which got a cheer and a laugh. Foley, White, Jacko and Hyde were pairing up with one trying to stop the other from sprinting in on goal. Cartledge and Gus did some ruckwork with Monkhurst. Petts was doing some goalkicking and cracked it once when he missed and swore loudly. A friend said to me he's one frustrated footballer because he can't get back into the side. The rest of the group were on the other side of the ground chatting with Royal I think. And that was it.
As usual, any questions just fire away.

from the Herald-Sun....
The latest setback [Cogs] was a bitter disappointment for coach Terry Wallace, who had been relieved no one was injured during the 15 minutes of match-type collisions in what was a high-class 70 minutes of training to prepare for Geelong on Saturday at the MCG.
"At the moment we've got virtually most players available. So for the sake of coming back and being hardnosed and having the right approach and attitude to taking on your games, that's the equal to taking the risk of losing someone by running the gauntlet," Wallace said after training.
Hall of Fame game participants Matthew Richardson, Nathan Foley and Troy Simmonds were given light duties.

The rest of the group were on the other side of the ground chatting with Royal I think. And that was it.
As usual, any questions just fire away.
Very detailed and insightive report as usual Mightytigers!
Just a few questions -
Did Thursty, JON, Lids, Patto, Tiv or Meyer train?
Were they practising shepherding and blocking in the forwardline to create space?
How many people were watching training?
Have you noticed a difference in intensity at training over the past few weeks?
Is there anyone who seems to be dropping there head or underperforming?
Thanks

Just a few questions -
Did Thursty, JON, Lids, Patto, Tiv or Meyer train?
Cheers Stripes
Yes they all training fully.
Were they practising shepherding and blocking in the forwardline to create space?
The forward line was left fairly open. Sat 4 forwards at the most so there was plenty of room to lead into. They also played high and low so that allowed them to keep out of each others way. The congestion was more in the midfield and there was a noticeable emphasis on shepherding and blocking when clearing from stoppages and when linking up running and carrying through the corridor from out of defensive 50 to about 80m out from goal.
How many people were watching training?
There was a group of 25 teenage schoolkids watching and they made up 70% of the 'crowd' watching training. In total there would've been 30-35 people. Each week there's usually a group of schoolkids down at Punt Rd so it must be part of the club's community work.
Have you noticed a difference in intensity at training over the past few weeks?
Not really over the past few weeks but definitely yesterday it was full on during the scratch match. Usually they do little full on contact work midweek during the season as the players are still slightly sore and recovering from the previous weekend's game. I'm guessing with the week off Plough and the coaching staff took the opportunity to up the ante in intensity and organised a 15 minute scratch match. I'm glad we didn't cop any injuries (apart from Cogs of course and his hammy was pre-existing).
Is there anyone who seems to be dropping there head or underperforming?
No not really apart from Petts' tantrums when he misses a shot on goal lol. Actually the enthusiasm is up. Players happy for each other when they do something good. Jack even had his arm around Danny Meyer for about a minute laughing over whatever they were talking about. That might have been as Camel said on Y&B when Jack commented on his coaching lol.
-
Thankyou very much MightyTigers for answering my questions. You are a font of knowledge! :)
Just out of interest-
Does Myer look anywhere near ready considering all the injuries and time off he has endured?
What about Hughes. Is he looking downhearted? Is he showing any form? He seems to have dropped off the radar.
Stripes
-
Meyer's obviously match fitness wise nowhere near ready for an AFL game yet but he's trained strongly now since the op and should be fine for the Coburg ressies which is where he has been named. From what I saw on Wednesday which was pretty physical and would've tested out his hip that he'll only need 1-2 games before getting a gig with the Coburg seniors. From there it's a case of building up his match fitness. Skills aren't an issue for Danny. He told a friend at training a few weeks ago that he's feeling the best he's felt in ages since the last op so hopefully his hip/back probs are now behind him :pray.
As for Cleve, he didn't on Wednesday but is named for Coburg tomorrow. He was getting frustrated with his goalkicking a week or two ago at training (it looked like he was trying too hard or thinking too much about it IMO) but he started well against Collingwood last week before copping that poke in the eye and Rawlings gave him a rap in his EOTT Coburg report.
Cleve Hughes
Injured himself halfway through the second quarter and was sidelined for the rest of the match. Up to that stage, he’d already taken five marks and kicked two goals. Has been a big improver this year and is a more rounded player now.
-
did you go to trainingb today and would just like to say for all the reports and do you have a job because it seems like your always at traing.

from the Herald-Sun
Coughlan's teammates took part in a light session at Punt Rd yesterday before Saturday night's Dreamtime at the 'G clash with Essendon.
Matthew Richardson walked around in sneakers for 10 minutes before disappearing into the rooms, while ruckman Troy Simmonds performed only light duties.
Trent Cotchin, Cameron Howat and Andrew Raines trained away from the main group.
Raines, who has not played since Round 2 because of a dislocated kneecap, was restricted to stationary drills.

Just got back from a semi-packed Punt Road oval today. They had the indigenous boys who are playing in the curtainraiser tomorrow night down watching training along with another group of teenagers from some school. There were also some Dutch backpackers who had dropped by for a look before going to their first Aussie Rules tonight. Of course the media were everywhere filming and taking photos. There should be vision of it on Ch 10 news.
Anyway at training today were the squad of 25 named (Petts, Cleve and Connors emergencies) plus Rainesy. JON was also present running laps with his arm in a brown bandage/cast from his wrist along his arm to just above the elbow. Cass just did some kick to kick with Rawlings before going inside the rooms.
It was only a short 45 minute session as in the norm the day before the game so nothing special as far as the drills. Just a tune up with ballhandling in the air and along the ground, footpassing, run and carry and linking up and then finally some goalkicking on the run.
While Richmond was training, the indigenous boys had changed into Richmond jumpers and stood just inside the rooms waiting for their turn to train after Richmond did. A nice touch after training by our Richmond boys to form a guard of honour as the indigenous boys ran onto the ground. Hi 5's all round.
The only damper is a mini-concern on Richo. He wore a glove on his left hand throughout training (perhaps protecting a finger injured late in the game against Geelong?) and he had a bandage around his right knee. Immediately after training had finished he scooted into the rooms without signing any autographs or waiting to be apart of the guard of honour.
As pre usual, any questions just fire away.
-
good vibe.

Yep, didn't look good. They said it was tendonitis in his right knee, and struggled to train. Please be good for tomorrow Richo!
GO TIGES!!!
-
does not sound good, tendinitis can linger for a very long time
-
can we expect a late change. :shh

can we expect a late change. :shh
We certainly can, but it wont be Richo :thumbsup

Late May is becoming injury time for Richo :(.
2006 - May 27 - cracked a bone in his wrist against Geelong.
2007 - Round 8 - cracked his cheekbone
2008 - Round 8 - knee tendonitis

Can tell you that the player not playing tonight will play tomorrow :shh

Richo has worn a glove or strapping on his wrist for like, ever.
Hope he pulls up OK for tonight, it will be interesting to see who the late change is!

Training today was at a sunny Punt Rd Oval. The RFC site had a 11.15am start but they actually started before 11. I rocked up halfway through so only saw the last half of training.
The only absent Tigers were Cogs and McGuane from what I saw. Rawlings in EOTT said McGuane got "crunched" so maybe he has injured himself. Silvester and Cartledge didn't training and watched from the race as they're playing in the state game on the weekend. No rehab group as Cass and Rainesy trained with the main squad. Richo did most of the session and only went into the rooms with about 15 mins to go. I was told he's on light training duties for the next couple of weeks.
As for training itself, there was a clear focus on 1-on-1 footy. The squad was split into two teams with everyone paired up and sticking with their man. Nothing fancy tactically - just the usual run and carry rebounding drills - but with everyone paired up. Towards the end of training, they split up into specific tasks. The young guys - Gourdis, Rance, Cass, Collard, Collins - did tackling practice with Craig McRae while the mids did running goalkicking. Tivs was extra happy with one of his shots that split the middle.
No obvious signs of any changes this week so we'll have to wait till later today for the squad of 25. I'm guessing Tivs, Polo and Polak will be the 3 added but that's just an opinion.
-
Thanks MT :thumbsup
I like the sound of what they are focusing on in training.
-
Nice stuff MT. :thumbsup
Did JON train??

Nice stuff MT. :thumbsup
Did JON train??
Yeah I think from memory he was out there Bateman. He's got the cast off now with a plate inserted in his arm. He should be okay to play next weekend (no VFL games this week).

Training today was again at Punt Rd. A mass contingent of the media were there. Obviously trying to find the scent of blood after Sunday's debacle ::). 3 cameras and a host of photographers. They left about halfway through because as one journo said she was bored because nothing was happening lol. Terry wasn't present because of Tuesdays with Terry.
They only trained lightly for an hour given they have a 6-day break so that's why nothing much happened. A bit of group running to start with followed by breaking into 3 groups to do some handball and kicking. They finished with something to rebuild morale after the flogging. The players forming two lines and each Tiger having a go at hitting the top of a wheelie-bin about 30m away on the full. 5 "hits" from what we saw - Howat, Browny and Joel were 3 of them. They were jumped on by the rest of group.
Nothing much else to report as they then went inside to see some opposition analysis on the Crows. Richo once again ran straight inside the rooms before anyone else as soon as training finished. Both he and Simmo had stretch bandages around a knee while JON still had a protective covering on his arm. No Sugar of course.
The biggest news out of training was seeing Cogs back at training doing a few 100m runs as mentioned in the other thread.
As usual any questions just fire away?
-
Bowden is one of our best kicks l'm not surprised he hit it 3 times & supporters want him dropped
5 times from a team of professionals is nothing more than peeweak
This Tuesdays with Terry is the rot of the club >:( his more concerned with his media spin than the RFC itself
l want this prick out of the club, if l was a coach it would be a lockout session & them lads would be hurting after that performance but l hold Wallace responsible for that lose totally
-
MT thanks for the training report once again.
Tigermonk...i dont agree at all. Why is Wallace a prick? What did you expect Wallace to do during Sunday's game? Clearly he wasn't to blame for that insipid performance, the players simply didnt switch their collective brains to "play" mode. Some days you have it and some days you don't. On Sunday our youngish team simply didnt have it.
As for Wallace being a prick cos of Tuesdays with Terry - whats wrong with that? He is promoting the club. And I must say does a reasonable job of handling the media- in fact from what i have seen this year he is better at it than a few other afl coaches eg Harvey and even Ross Lyon (based on last night's effort on Footy Classifieds where he looked very defensive).
Flogging players - sheesh I thought that went out with the cat o nine tails...We have a young list and a young team - aberrations like last sunday will occur. It is how we bounce back that will matter...lets see this weekend...Go Tiges!!!
-
Yep they don't flog players 1-2 days after a game anymore. They're still sore and we've only got a 6-day break too. The only time I've seen them 'flogged' on the track this year was after the Pies game when we played the following Sunday. Plough flogged them on the Thursday.
Bowden is one of our best kicks l'm not surprised he hit it 3 times & supporters want him dropped
Joel hit it once. I meant he was one of the three who we saw hit the top of the bin along with Browny and Cam. We didn't see who the other 2 were through the bodies of 40 players. They only had one attempt each.
-
... We didn't see who the other 2 were through the bodies of 40 players. They only had one attempt each.
BF are saying Cotch was one of them and Meyer the other.
-
MT - how is Meyer travelling?? Is he moving at full pace at the moment and doing all of the contact drills?? Is he moving freely?

Cheers for that RROFO. The Cotch legend keeps on growing ;D :thumbsup.
MT - how is Meyer travelling?? Is he moving at full pace at the moment and doing all of the contact drills?? Is he moving freely?
They didn't do much of that today TT but yes he is. Last week Meyer trained fully with the main squad and he was moving freely and doing all the contact stuff. Apparently he's feeling the best he has in the body for a long long time. At this stage he just needs to get his match fitness up. I'm guessing he'll get another run with the Coburg ressies this week as there were no VFL games on the weekend just gone. He played his first game back the week before to blow away the cobwebs from not playing for ages.

I am interested to know how Troy Simmo is going ?
Reason being just went to a gym in Essendon and he was out the back doing strengthing exercises for his knee. :shh

He has had problems with his Knee since the Victoria clash. We need to give him time to recover but unfortunately with no one on the Long Term Injury List we can't bring up Cartledge who is currently our 3rd (inform) ruckman to replace him. :(
He will play but he will struggle to nullify Adelaides ruck division in contests and around the ground.

MT thanks for the training report once again.
Tigermonk...i dont agree at all. Why is Wallace a prick? What did you expect Wallace to do during Sunday's game? Clearly he wasn't to blame for that insipid performance, the players simply didnt switch their collective brains to "play" mode. Some days you have it and some days you don't. On Sunday our youngish team simply didnt have it.
As for Wallace being a prick cos of Tuesdays with Terry - whats wrong with that? He is promoting the club. And I must say does a reasonable job of handling the media- in fact from what i have seen this year he is better at it than a few other afl coaches eg Harvey and even Ross Lyon (based on last night's effort on Footy Classifieds where he looked very defensive).
Flogging players - sheesh I thought that went out with the cat o nine tails...We have a young list and a young team - aberrations like last sunday will occur. It is how we bounce back that will matter...lets see this weekend...Go Tiges!!!
If you like Wallace coaching style & matchups then keep dreaming cause they aint going nowhere in the future with him around. All he does is spin the media tripe when a real coach would be out on the park instructing, his matchups are pathetic & l'm tyred of the rabble skills being produced out of there & its time March grasped his job properly & put them on notice
Wallace should be good with media his a professional spinner, he should have kept doing it & left the coaching to someone who is more concerned where we are going. l dont give a pooh about other clubs & thier coaches what they do & cant with media l'm only concerned about Richmond & thier skills & how they present themselves to the supporters on the field.
Who tells them to play like that ??? why kick backwards to a contest when they should be kicking to the goalsquare l mean fair bloody dinkum thier rabble
-
Joel hit it once. I meant he was one of the three who we saw hit the top of the bin along with Browny and Cam. We didn't see who the other 2 were through the bodies of 40 players. They only had one attempt each.
lol ok well just goes to show Joel Bowden is switched on 1 from 1 from 30 metres, l dont find that very hard for professional footballers to acheive, l'm surprised they were not using basketballs the why spinster coaches
Yeah Jackstar they will send Simmonds out there this weekend with his bad knee till they destroy him & we will have a excuse then why we are so rabble
A rest would be the sensible way to treat Simmonds best & bring in Graham, infact is Graham still training no-one talks about him does he still play down there ;D

Teach me to get to training late :wallywink. Richo didn't do any of the runs at the start of training according to Ch 10. Sugar was there earlier on too with a brace around his left knee.
Gus had a interrupted preseason due to his broken ankle IIRC so he's nowhere near ready for a senior call up. Putt of course is too young and nowhere near AFL either. If they were to give Simmo a rest then the ruckwork would be left to Patto and Polak or even Tuck :help.

Well if that is the case, they should've thought the ruck situation through last year and left Gus on the rookie list (like they do with Howat every year) and picked Cartledge in the December draft along with Gourdis.
Professionally run clubs would not rely on 1 ruckman to play 22 games and have no back up at all in the event of injury or suspension. What makes this even worse is the fact we had the same problem last year. Karma will dictate that Simmo will go down with injury in the next week or two.
We do not problem solve and contingency plan well at Tigerland.

Richmond is not a professional run club, its still thinks its in the days of the old VFL
lives on its history instead of creating a new future for the new gerneration

Simmo's knee is hurting his leap at the moment and in any case his height means he is really should be a second ruckman in modern footy. We're missing that experienced agile 203-5cm ruckman who can consistently win hitouts and tap to advantage to compliment Simmo. A ruckman who should have been drafted 6-7 years ago ::).
The problem with current contingency plan was it was only for long-term injuries; not the 1-3 week injury like a minor knee or hammy. 3 of our 4 rookies are just "back-ups" rather than finding another Foley, Thursty or Moore for the future. Why is Cam still at Punt Rd ??? and Cartledge's footpassing in the VFL vs SANFL game was no better that what we saw up in Sydney :help :P. I also think the club thought Gus was going to come on more this year despite coming back from an ankle.

I would've much preferred Ben Hudson to Jordan - heck pick 19 would've blown the doggies out of the water.
Ben Hudson and Troy Simmonds, now that sounds a bit more like it compared to what we currently have in the ruck.
I think that are plenty of aspects where our club is professionally run - take our injury management this year as one example.
Our football list strategy seems a bit one dimensional and linked to this obsessive run and carry style of play that demands 33 small players and a couple of tall players on our list.

At 29 and coming back from a knee Hudson was never on our recruiting radar. We should have just held onto the pick but that's a tale that's been done to death.
I thought last year with the actual picks we had we finally drafted correctly in terms of picking up kids with size instead of the usual stick-figures. Francis Jackson seems to be a half-decent spotter of junior talent at this stage (based on 2006-7 drafts) although it's too early too judge properly. I just hope Craig Cameron adds to the recruiting knowledge base and doesn't cramp Francis' spotting. The Dees recruiting was nothing to write home about.

Ch 10 news showed a snippet of Richmond training today. They said Richo still only trained lightly but we expect his knee to be better this week.

Tiger2020 on Y&B has done a report on today's training:
http://www.yellowandblack.com.au/forum/showpost.php?p=171859&postcount=236

MT did you get a chance to go to training today? Apparently it was a hard session, can you shed any light on it?
-

I couldn't make it today Con but Ch 10 said they did a heap of punishing 400m sprints. Some of the boys looked pretty red in the face from the vision. They also showed Richo squating gathering one footy after the other off the ground. Plough said Richo will play mostly up forward until the break (R14) as he is playing sore :-\.
-
why would a coach say his players are sore & carrying injuries ??? it strikes me
you may as well just give your gameplan & documents to the other club your playing against
cant this coach shut his mouth for once & keep it all in house
saying Richo is not 100% gives the other club a advantage to put a lower class defender on your #1 forward & leave them to use the #1 defender on our next best forward
Saying our #1 Ruckman is in the same boat gives the other club a edge to push thier ruckman harder & use them to break open games
Wallace only openly says these things surely to have a excuse for when we play the ugly football he teaches & to save his ass after a lose
His ass is on the line, the axe is sharpened, just let the blade come down Gary SWING THE BLOODY THING please no more pain at seeing our youngsters with bad skills which they never had before they came to the club
You told the supporters thier will be no more EXCUSES ;D
-
Tigermonk...what if Wallace is playing fox...they put their weaker defender on him and Richo is fine...and plays a blinder like he did on Kepler Bradley a couple of years ago....
Now you just dont know do you...Richo looked ok to me running the length of the G last week...what do you do if your an opposition coach...play a weaker guy on him...and get cut up...or waste your best defender cos Richo is injured and cant cut you up...hmmmm
Foxxy on the run I say....
MightyTiges...thanks for the Channel 10 training report...much appreciated...
-
Interesting to here Geelong doctor Chris Brayshaw will always take the risk and allow footballers to play if they can rather than be cautious and rest them for a week. The reasoning that if you're too cautious you panic in your decision making out of fear of a bloke possibly doing an injury. He'd rather live with his decisions so you always make decisive decisions. Seems to be the way AFL clubs think in regards to sore players.

Fact is l do know his injured cause he limps around after the games & does little training
what you say dont make any sence
Oh & Richo & Simmonds are playing with injections thats why they get through games & can run the length of the MCG
but l can tell you his very sore during the week right upto gameday then some more injections ;D
-
Training today was as usual at Punt Rd. Fine conditions but with a strong breeze. Initially it was a closed session with gates locked but they were opened once the Melbourne spy who was peeping through the gate left lol. Doug Vickery was giving every stranger the once over lol. It makes no sense anyway as you can see everything from Punt Rd.
As mentioned in the other thread, there was a squad of roughly 30. Newy, Lids, Simmo, Polak, Browny, Jack, Cotch, Edwards, Joel, Jordie, Polo, Petts, McGuane, Rance, Morton, Tuck, Jackson, Schulz, Patto, JON, Tambo, Hyde, Tivs, Cleve, Whitey, Moore, Foley and Howat did the full training session. All were wearing different numbers to usual again.
Richo didn't train with the main group. Just did some 100m straight jogging and some kick to kick. He looked to be pulling up better today.
Thursty and Sugar ran some laps and did some kick to kick.
No sign of Kingy.
Cogs did about the first half of main training. I thought there was a problem at first when he stopped as he went over to the physio but he then went and did his own thing. A few half laps around the boundary, some kick to kick, and repetitively collecting the ball off the group with a trainer pressuring him.
In terms of training itself after the gates were opened they did nothing out of the norm apart from using a younger forward line (still with the same set-ups) - Jack vs Rance, Hughes/Patto vs McGuane/Schulz, Lids vs JON. Browny, Morton and Whitey were also used as forwards. Newy was their opponent. Simmo vs Patto were given a free license to push inside 50. The forward half of the field was left open for the forwards and the mids/half-backs (everyone else in two rotating groups) ran and linked as full pace and then spotted leads inside 50. Polly played as a rebounding defender btw. Neither Joel or Petts were used as forwards or HFFers which is meant to be their role these days.
After all the footy drills they put on their tackle tops and did some 1-on-1 tacking with one player running towards the tackler. McRae told the defender not to stay to far off the oncoming attacker. The defender to corral initially to corner the attacker and then go in to tackle.
As per usual - any question just fire away.

MT well done once again. Great report.
Now I'm looking for clues who will likely play this week so....
Do you believe Bowden and Petts were excluded from the forward drills because they will be excluded from the team this week? :pray
Was Hughes right in the mix?
What do you think the likelihood of Rance gaining a jumper this week?
Was Angus and Carledge rucking?

Sorry Stripes I'm a bit late answering some of those with Petts out and Cleve overlooked.
Joel I think will get one more chance. I think we should go all kids but I've got a feeling Plough and co. didn't think his effort was in the Tivs/Petts shocker category.
Gus and Cartledge didn't train with Richmond (they could've trained earlier as sometimes the RFC players at Coburg train before Richmond does. Cartledge and Connors were around the place in their casuals.
Rance I'll leave to the other thread.

MT whats the story on Cogs training
Cogs did about the first half of main training on Thursday then did his own thing after talking to one of the physios. A few half laps (200m) around the boundary, some kick to kick, and then repetitively collecting the footy off the group with a trainer slightly physically pressuring him as he picked up the ball.

Thats says to me he's still feeling that hammy and decided to slow it down.
Not a good sign. Sad such a player that imo had not reached the top of his game has been absolutely mowed down like he has. Doesn't look like he'll ever be the same or near it. :-\ :( :-\ :( :-\

well thats some good news, l dont want to see him rushed back, in fact l would like to see him rested for the remainder of the season & have a good pre-season with a chance of playing round 1.
l dont see any point in pushing him when his contracted for 2009 anyway

Training today was at an overcast Punt Rd Oval. With a 6 day break they didn't train long. Perhaps around an hour although a few stayed out for longer.
In rehab were Johnson, Thursty, Kingy and Jackson. Not sure what's wrong with Jacko or if he's just sore and being rested. Apparently Richo's copped a few bruises as well as carrying that knee but he'll play this week. No sign of Cogs. Rainesy and Meyer trained fully. It looked like Geoff Raines was watching training too.
Training was short so they didn't do much apart from the usual kicking and handball drills. No "half-time" break like Adelaide did from what I saw. The only thing that stood out was Tambo taking the kicks from inside defensive 50 as they worked on defensive clearances so he may play in defence again this week.
After training a few stayed out. The rucks were with Monkhurst. Schulz was doing goalkicking practice. Cleve and Gus were doing a few 100m runs. Connors was doing some contesting marking and Cotchin worked on ball skills.
-
thanks for the training report MT
great news about Meyer :)

Yep good report MT, I would really like to know what is going on with Cogs though?? How did Polo train mate please??

They didn't much to really judge WAT other than to say he was solid and didn't cost himself a place in the team like last week (stuffed up a couple of times last week) as he's deservedly been promoted to the seniors.
You're right Cogs' current status is a mystery.
-
Training today was as usual at Punt Rd in overcast conditions. A very light and short session. More lighthearted than anything strenuous. I believe the main session is tomorrow but as it hasn't be advertised it may be a closed one and perhaps at the G (?).
The rehab group was chockers today.
Thursty - looks fine (no bandages). Miller said he's fit.
Sugar - still a bandage around his knee. Miller said "a chance".
McGuane - bandage around that thigh with the hammy.
Simmo - bandaged thigh. Miller said it's a corky similar to what Richo had.
Cogs - no bandages. Miller said he'll play VFL ressies this week down at Frankston.
Richo - still has that huge bruise.
King, Jacko, Cass, Howat and Schulz were also in the rehab group. Miller said Schulz was Coburg's best and he believes Jay was unlucky to be dropped in the first place. Missing those goals against Melbourne probably cost him.
Meyer and Rainesy trained with the main group again.
As for training itself, like I said it was light. A bit of a jog as a group and the standard footpassing drills. They then did some handball and reflex stuff in small groups with which most in the rehab group joined in including Cogs. Only Simmo and Richo didn't do it. Richo went in and changed his polo top and jeans before walking over to the Social club so I'm guessing he's at Tuesdays with Terry.
We had a brief chat with Miller....
He defended Jordie by saying he takes the risks with his run and long kicking that win you games. People take no notice when he hits targets, they only notice mistakes. He might have a lower kicking efficiency than someone else who kicks safe short and wide but he has the highest kicking efficiency.
We also asked about our ruck stocks in terms of back-up for Simmo. He said to my friend don't you rate Patto and she said he's not a ruckman. We also said Gus and Putt are too young and unknown to judge. Miller said Gus missing most of the preseason means he's not as agile as he was this time last year.
We then asked about Rance and he hasn't been as good the last couple of weeks. I took from what Greg said that if anyone from Coburg comes in this week it'll be Sarge but Thursty will come in for McGuane.
I also asked him about any U18s he has his eye on in the Champs but that's not for public consumption.
-
Thanks alot MT, another great post by you.
Would love to know what is not for public consumption. Pity the tigers are not doing the Rookie Club this year so as to have the pre-draft night... :(
-
You sure they're not doing the draft night this year?
I'd heard otherwise
-
They may charge a one off fee to attend?
-
Hayden Hill told me a couple of months back that the Rookie Club wouldn't be running in the same manner this year but the Draft Preview night will still be held.
Said he planned to send an email to Rookie Club members once confirmed.
I haven't heard any more since.

Training today was a wet Punt Rd Oval. It was bucketing down for most of the session. Not a bad crowd watching on a wet day after a loss. About 80 people - mostly mum and dads with kids and teenagers. Bright sunshine in Melbourne now though lol.
Not present to my knowledge today were Thursty, Petts, McGuane, Jackson and Howat. Polak too of course for obvious reasons. A few Tiges also didn't do much in the rehab group - Tambo, Cass, Moore and Richo. Connors trained for most of the session but stayed out afterwards to run laps around the boundary.
Cleve and Jordie trained the whole session and both showed no signs of being down.
Cogs trained fully too and got through as far as I know.
As for training itself they mainly focussed on long kicking today. Set up in a circle of 6 groups and after getting the handball receive, footpass to someone in the next group around. Skills were okay but it was wet.
They then finished off with 10-15 minutes worth of goalkicking on the run or across the body. At this stage Cotch was doing heaps of handball work off the bouncey net, Gus was doing some ruckwork with Monkhurst, and Lids, Morton and Rance worked on their tackling techniques with McRae.

I forgot to say there was also some kid training with the Tigers today (in Richo's jumper). Not sure if he was a Burger or not but he was a good size and decent skills too. I saw him standing next to Gourdis and he was taller than Dave.

Any chance it may have been a bloke by the name of Harrison Lee, down for the school holidays ?

LOL wayne ;D

It could have been HMH. Harrison Lee played up in Sydney on the weekend and he could have come down. He's played mostly ressies for UNSW/Easts but he had a couple of senior games a few weeks ago.
Just on Cogs - Ch 9 news said Cogs trained impressively this morning. I agree he was moving perfectly fine. Good to hear he got through unscathed and is ready to play this week.
-
MT :thumbsup
good news on Cogs, his going to prove me wrong l hope ;D
-
I'll wait until Cogs has got through a few games and pull up fine before getting too excited about a comeback but good news so far TM :thumbsup.
Also as mentioned on Y&B, Tucky was doing his best Bruce Doull impersonation yesterday at training with that headband :lol.

Memo to clubs: Stop shutting fans out
Bruce Matthews | July 04, 2008
ANOTHER football tradition is just about dead.
Fans are no longer encouraged to watch their clubs train. In fact, they are bluntly discouraged by the increasing number of closed sessions.
School holidays - let's take the kids for a kick and check out those names who keep bobbing up in the VFL's best players. Fat chance if you are looking for your club's training sessions.
If it's not closeted in secrecy, there is every likelihood it will take you twice as long to get there than the time your heroes will spend out on the ground.
Clubs like Hawthorn and Geelong "generously" open up their last training session of the week, generally a Friday, to the public.
Trouble is it lasts no more than half an hour. A handful of ball drills, a few shots on goal, five minutes of autograph-signing and the players are gone.
Sure, most clubs are on a break this week for the split round. And Carlton and St Kilda did conduct clinics. But pity if you follow Collingwood or Geelong.
Collingwood's main session on Wednesday was closed after the 15-minute warm-up (as much as you can train in private with traffic zooming past on Punt Rd) and Geelong had a run yesterday . . . in Adelaide.
School's out again next week. Still, you can bet few fans will get to see their favourite players preparing for the next round.
Yes, we understand the physical demands of the modern game, particularly three months into the season, preclude the old midweek match-practice flogging.
There will continue to be stay-away-in-case-you-spot-something closed sessions.
This ridiculous practice is a direct snub to fans, many who for various reasons, be it family, professional or economic, can't get to the weekend games and still want to maintain some sort of tenuous link with their players and club.
Don't tell me with just about every player now full-time that coaching staff couldn't find a quiet time, early morning, late afternoon, even lunchtime, to work on game-day strategies away from prying eyes.
These set plays invariably involve only groups of onballers or the backline unit rather than the entire senior list anyway.
And the folly of all this subterfuge is that their opponents that week generally know exactly who is carrying what injuries and who will or won't be fronting up against them.
There's certainly no sausage sizzles on the terraces to grab a snag and watch the boys train at this time of the season.
Perhaps, to be blatantly cynical, it's because the deadline for memberships has expired.
Fan-friendly tactics won't reappear until next summer when the marketing manipulators go chasing those membership commitments that the AFL tells us is the lifeblood of the clubs and competition.
The AFL has a rule that each senior coach must speak publicly at least once a week.
Maybe they could extend that edict to one open and advertised training run too.

What closed training sessions?! ;D
You could always see in from Punt Rd but it's even easier now with the Northern end of the ground behind the goals bulldozed flat with just a wire fence around the perimeter.

MT :'( no training report, are you not well this week :(
some news on how Cogs pulled up & how his doing on track this week with any soreness
Hope his able to go another round this week.
Surely Richo is ruled out already, l always knew he be damaged goods before the rest thanks to Terry Wallet bad decision making & not resting him against Carlscum & now we will pay for his bad decision

What you say may be correct but to speak of these things as fact when they are still pure speculation is what? Wishful thinking? I really hope you aren't hoping Richo is injured to back your anti TW bias.

I couldn't make training this week. It was a choice between the U18s or training and I wanted to see the U18s yesterday. Cogs got through fine so no probs so far. Richo has been ruled out.

haha speculation & bias :lol cant be further from the truth, its the people l know ;D
Todays FACT is Richo is out because of bad management of his injuries being played at 60%
would a 100% fit Shulzs not do the same job overall on gameday, Wallace is holding back talent to save himself from looking stupid & playing injured players only shortens players careers if not ends them. Its bad management which predicts performance overall, the ladder, the percentage & player moral

thats just it :lol l'm not in any doubt cause l knew :lol & l tell ya that Richo willnot play next week & be very doubtful to play the week after that because his carrying 3 types of injuries, why not go down the club sometime & ask him yourself. ask his coach how he is going he will tell ya he might play next week
you took the cheap shot at me by refering me as a Jackstar. l quite like Jack his right to the point & takes no shortcuts. If you think l'm not on the ball or wrong about things just tell me. l'm known to be wrong sometimes, but mainly correct cause my sources would be doing themselves harm :lol :lol

Thirsty and of course big Richo !!! Did they train, will they play etc...
Cheers.
-
I didn't go today but I doubt they would do much today anyway just 2 days after a game especially coming back from Perth and with only a 6 day break to the Essendon game. My guess would be they would've done some running and some light kicking and handballing at best and the older guys or those with niggles would've just watched or been in the rehab group. Perhaps those that played for Coburg on Saturday would've done more training.

Training today was as usual at Punt Rd. Funny day weather wise - sunny at first then came down the rain. The ground was wet under foot from the rain overnight. Training itself didn't go for that long. Just over an hour.
Most of the list were present. In rehab were Cass and Connors (both hammy injuries). Both did some handballing with Lids and Howat then ran some laps.
Lids didn't do any of the kicking drills as far as I saw. Obviously just resting his knee through the week.
The good news is Richo joined in about half the training and was running around fine so he must have pulled okay fronm yesterday.
King and Rainesy trained fully too.
Thursty at the start of training was down the other end with I think Flea working on something specific in regards to distributing the ball and doing some kicking and footpassing.
As for training it was a light session. The main group did some jogging initially before Terry got them in a huddle. Someone got a round of applause and some cheers but I didn't hear who it was. Plough then went inside to do his media conference and left the session to the assistant coaches as he normally does. The main squad then split into two and one group did the usual running, marking and footpassing while the other second group got into small groups of 4 and did some circular handball both clockwise and anticlockwise. They then did the usual training while I was chatting away with friends so I wasn't paying too much attention. They finished briefly with some goalkicking and that was it. The rucks only stayed out longer to work with Monkhurst.
-
Thanks MT, pity about Cass and Connors...really bad break for Connors who had just forced his way into team calculations.
-
what about Cogs MT must tell us every week hows cCogs pulling up ;D
-

I didn't see Cogs but like I said I was distracted talking to friends so I may have just missed him on the far side of the ground. I didn't see Jacko, Tivs, Hughes or Collins either. Of course no Polly or Petts. I didn't realise Foley was training until 5 minutes from the end :wallywink.
-
It's all just one big social event for you isn't is MT. Where's the dedication?!
I'm joking, just in case you are one of those people without a sense of humour who will take may statement seriously. (Which I am sure you are not). Any training info is always gratefully receive and much appreciated. :thumbsup
-
It's all just one big social event for you isn't is MT. Where's the dedication?!
Of course it is ;D. I hadn't been for a couple weeks so I was catching up on the footy goss.
-
I didn't have time yesterday to type this up so here it is now. Better late than never.
Training was at a sunny Punt Rd. Only a shortish session that went for about an hour. Virtually all the list was present except for Polly and Petts of course plus Cleve.
A fair few who were at training didn't train and spent the session with the rehab group. Richo, Thursty and Moore did some kick-to-kick. Newy, Cotch, Browny, Foley, Jordie, Patto, Gourdis and Cass did reflex ball stuff with Gordon Casey. Connors looked also to be switching between the main squad and the rehab group. Cartledge, Graham and Putt worked on the ruck techniques with Monkhurst for the whole session.
As far as training itself, the first half of the session was the usual stuff they did each week. The second half of the session they worked on a couple of specific things. One of these was forming 4 groups on the corners of a square about 30-40m apart and the idea was to pass to any of the other corners avoiding an assistant coach standing the mark and 2-3 players roaming the middle the square trying to cut off the passes. Basically it looked like they were simulating footpassing through a mini-zone. Perhaps working on our kick-ins and clearing the defensive 50 which we stuffed up in the 3rd quarter against Brisbane turning the ball over. The coaches gave the squad praise after they did the drill. I roughly saw about 4-5 passes miss the target in the whole 10 minutes or so they were doing this drill and most of those errant passes had nothing to do with the zone. Just passes going over the receiving player's head. The other specific drill was just working on setting up outside forward 50 and hitting a teammate on the lead with an opponent on his tail.
They finished off with a brief spell of set shot goalkicking. After most of the squad had gone in, David King kept our defensive group (both Richmond and Coburg-based RFC guys) out there for a further 10 minutes talking to them in a huddle.
As for the guys making their comeback from injury: Cogs trained fully and got through another session as did Rainesy and Jake King.
-
MT, thanks for your training reports. We don't hear much in Sydney and I always look forward to reading them. Cheers

If they plan to do this on Sat night, we may as well put up the white flag now. In the cut and thrust of a game against the reigning premier in ominous form, this strategy will cause enormous pressure on our kicking skills and then our defense. We will turn it over.

I think we'll stick to what we've been doing but I guess the above drill was for two reasons. Firstly we at times get in a rut with our kick-ins after a point trying to find an open man and clearing our defensive 50 (remember Jordie doing the kick-ins against Brisbane and going long only for the Lion talls to pick them off :-\ ). This especially happens when the opposition have the momemtum of the game (our dreaded 3rd quarter sleeps). Secondly Geelong are the best defensive team at applying pressure when they don't have the ball and force turnovers by the opposition.
-
Training today was at a sunny Punt Rd Oval. Quite a long session for midweek. Nearly 2 hours long. A nice day to be outside too. The club had also organised for some visiting NT kids to watch training and talk to Blingers and JON afterwards. Hopefully we can convert some of the non-believers over to the Tiger faith.
Most of the squad was in attendance. Only Polak (for obvious reasons), Putt, Petts and Rainesy I didn't see train. Not sure what's wrong with Rainesy although I missed the first 30 mins. Hopefully he hasn't done his hammy again. Petts was on crutches in the race watching training and I was told Putt was inside in the gym.
As for training itself, there was a heavy emphasis on 1-on-1 work. The squad was split into two teams and paired up over the ground. One side would be the attackers/defenders going one way down the ground spotting up players leading into space and then they would swap heading back. Blingers was the standout in the drill as he was able to use his pace to get goal side of his opponent inside 50 and mark. They kept the forward 50 open so players ran from the midfield inside 50.
The drill that followed was still 1-on-1 but involved more run and carry from the team attacking and breaking the lines. Cotch lapped this up. Some brilliant one-twos with teammates as he keeps on running. He's looked like the lack of a preseason was catching up with him the last couple of weeks but he was flying today. They did some running goalkicking towards the end of training and he was slotting the middle of the big sticks without miss. Cotch was pretty happy with himself too high-fiving the assistant coaches.
As far as the rehab group there wasn't a permanent one today. Browny and Cass stood out of the run and carry stuff. Richo did some running on his own to start with before joining the main squad about halfway through the session. I mentioned in the other thread that Simmo stopped to chat about his left knee with the fitness coordinator midway through training doing one leg bends to test it out before joining in main training. The rucks Simmo, Patto, Cartledge and Gus training separately with Monkhurst for most of the session.
Just before the end of training the coaches pulled the side from last week plus Browny aside and into a huddle for a lengthy chat.
-
Training today was as usual at Punt Rd Oval. A sunny winter's day to watch training which went for about 45 minutes. It wasn't a heavy training session either given it was just 2 days after they played and they're still a bit sore. Mostly it just running and a bit of a light kick and handball. Morton showed his goal along the ground on Sunday wasn't a fluke as he was practising it today.
There were a few guys in the rehab group:
Moore had the left ankle he hurt on Sunday tapped up.
Browny just did handball and no running or kicking. We all thought he won't play again this week.
Foley looked much freer in his movements. He was jogging and kicking. I wouldn't be surprised if he comes back in this week.
Putt has a brace on his right leg supporting the knee he injured.
Meyer was also in rehab presumably with his ankle.
Howat was there too.
Absent from what I saw were Petts, Polly, Silvester and Cass. I didn't see Tivs either but I may have just not seen him.
The rest appeared to train fully with the main squad before going inside. Richo and Collins went in first. Tucky, Collard and Polo stayed out longer to do some bananas from the boundary line. Tuck then did some marking on the lead and handball with Gordon Casey.
Cotchin and Riewoldt were showing off their soccer skills. Bouncing the ball from foot to foot to thigh and on their head. Both talented sportsmen as well as AFL footballers. Even the photographers were impressed and snapped up a zillion photos of the both of them doing their party tricks.
Rawlings then took the Coburg RFC guys for another 15-20mins of marking on the lead. Cartledge, Edwards (compression bandage around his right elbow) and Polo stayed out with Cogs, JON, Gourdis, Rance, Graham, Patto, Collard, Hyde and Hughes (left wrist was tapped up).
Patto told us as he was walking up the race that he should play this week. Not sure if he meant for Richmond or Coburg though.
-
Very insightful as always MT.
Interesting that Patto suggested he would play. I would thin they would give Cartledge another chance in the first given his circumstances so maybe he meant the 2nds?
Doesn't sould like OP for Foley as rumoured. Hope they don't bring him back too quickly unless he is 100%.
Will be interesting this week to see who is named. I would guess that we will remain unchanged.

I would think we'll at least name Foley as an IN to give him every shot at being right for Saturday.

Yep TA I think they'll put Axel in the 25 too with whoever they drop in the emergencies ready to come back in if Foley doesn't come up.
Interesting that Patto suggested he would play. I would thin they would give Cartledge another chance in the first given his circumstances so maybe he meant the 2nds?
I hope they give Cartledge another go too Stripes. In fact I'd give him the remaining 2 games to prove himself at AFL level. He can't be re-rookied as he is too old so it's either the senior list in 2009 or delist him come the end of October.

MT is there a posibility we would keep Cartledge and offer up Patto as a trade ?
-

There always the possibility if a deal is too good to pass off but Patto is only 21 and the big guys usually take longer to develop unless they are freaks so IMO the club will hold onto him.
Cartledge's future could come down to trade week as it occurs in early October while the first delistings don't have to be finalised until the end of October. If we pick up Warnock in a trade then I doubt Cartledge will survive. If we fail to pick up an experienced ruckman then who knows.

Well got to say the training thread will be down for a while unfortunately but this year thier is no spankings with a wooden spoon ;D gee the season went to quick :lol
l like to thank MT for his training reports & anyone else who shared reports throughout the year
cheers to you :thumbsup
-
I can't wait to read the first one in Late October/Early November :thumbsup
-
Cheers TM. I'm not sure when they start preseason training. Early November as wayne said I guess as they get 8 weeks off now plus a few more for the oldies like Richo. The best time to go is after the National draft when you get the first glimpse of our new draftees at Tigerland.

The BP was a lot better in the second half of the year apart from the Carlton and Adelaide games. It was a pleasant change going to games nearly every week expecting us to have a strong chance of winning :o.

Players need a longer break
Jon Ralph | October 13, 2008 12:00am
THE AFL Players' Association is worried by the increasing number of clubs returning to pre-season training within their mandated eight-week holiday. The Demons will this morning begin pre-season training just 43 days since their August 31 loss to Richmond.
In contrast, several of Richmond's senior players will train separately from the main group and will only return to the club close to Christmas.

Yup, same as always so as expected.

The misleading thing is the older Tigers can start a month after the rest so it's not unusual for us.

All starts again in a couple of weeks :clapping

Is pre-season training starting today??

Yer im pretty sure I read 3rd year players (and under) are back this week, with the other blokes slowly getting back over the next 2 months. Alot of the senior boys aren't comming back much before Christmas too I heard.

Tigers return to the track
4:58 PM Mon 27 October, 2008
The first group of Richmond’s playing list returned to training today ahead of the 2009 season.
Players with 1-3 years of completed service began their pre season with a light training run and a series of fitness and strength tests.
Players with 4-7 years of completed service resume training on Thursday 30 October, followed by players with eight or more years of service on Thursday November 6.
The Tigers’ pre-Christmas program will run until December 20, before resuming on Monday January 5.
The 2009 AFL season kicks off on Thursday March 26 against Carlton at the MCG, before a trip to Skilled Stadium to play Geelong in round two.

You'd hope those who started back today came back in good shape otherwise they might find themselves off our list by the Friday cut off.

MT did you go to training yesterday, or are you still on your summer vacation being more than 3 years on the list of training reporters?

yes yes we want pics

This thread is pretty long now shouldn't we do a Training 2009 one to make it a little easier to keep up?

Rumour from BF
Collard better start working on his weight...has arrived at training in terrible condition

Let's hope the rumour about Collard is off the money. I guess we'll find out by Friday.
MT did you go to training yesterday, or are you still on your summer vacation being more than 3 years on the list of training reporters?
I normally don't start heading down to have a look at preseason training until everyone is back but if I find time I might have a squiz if I can find out where they are training this week. It's difficult to know where as there's 3-4 grounds where they train at and they can change locations at late notice. Plus if they're just doing running at this stage they only might be going around the Tan.
-
Collard will get the chop on Friday then if this is true.
-
Not sure if we'll be that harsh, he got in some pretty good shape last pre-season by busting his ass, so there's no way he'd be close to what he was back then.
Unfortunate if it's true, but we have plenty of room on the rookie list this year
-
That's upsetting. I had high hopes for Collard this year but this has been his problem sice be began his career - poor fitness and attitude. I hope he is not another Richmond player who's potential goes unrealised. :(

According to BF,
Adam Cockshell and Fabian DeLuca, both formerly from Port Power are trying their luck at Tigerland by training with the group hoping to get drafted in the PSD or Rookie draft.
Adam Cockshell
Height 198cm
Weight 98Kg
D.O.B. 09/08/1986

If Cockshell isn't from the 2004 draft I am not interested ;D
-
Can you imagine having a Cockshell and Sidebottom in the same side? :-\
-
It's pronounced Cochshell. The family must have got sick of the teasing.
Cockshell was pick 4 in the 2006 PSD when we took Kent Kingsley at 6 :P. Made an okayish debut at the start of 2007 but got dropped after two games and was never seen again in a Port jumper.
Geez what's our obsession with ex-Port players at the moment ???

Does anyone know how Raines is travelling at the moment??
Don't know WAT but I'm guessing as a 5 year player if his knee is okay now he returned to training this week. The last I heard Rainesy was overseas on holiday with his girlfriend during their 8-week after-season break. We told him to sit out the rest of the season in August because he was getting other related injuries like hammies and quaddies on the same leg as the knee he dislocated.

Not sure of weekends pmac but they are training now during the week (I don't know yet the days/times though). You could try ringing the club but you'll probably get told all sessions are closed off prior to Christmas except for the designated public one in December. If you'll be in the Richmond area you could go past Punt Rd Oval or Gosch's Paddock and see if anyone if training.

There's some footage of yesterday's training (15 secs worth) on the Herald-Sun site. Towards the end of Sugar talking:

2009 is going to be a crunch year for Rainesy. He needs to learn to be smarter with the footy than just run as far as you can with the ball tucked underneath his arm. Other clubs have now prepared for that since his 2nd in the rising star year. Think first option Rainesy.

good advice and applies to a few others as well

We might have to put that excitement off for another week as they were inside doing weights in the gym or swimming in the pool today when I got there.

Any of them bulked up much MT other than Rance.

RG on BF has a thorough report of training yesterday (Monday):
http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showpost.php?p=13168146&postcount=1
-
Good on you OE, I needed that fix..... ;)
-
I got down to today's training session at Gosch's paddock. It was nice day to be outside in the sun, catch up with friends and get a footy fix for a couple of hours.
The squad was huge with all the ring-ins so it was hard to follow everyone but in the rehab group were:
Thursty
Schulz - he had a stretch bandage around his right knee.
McMahon
Cotch - apparently is still feeling the affects of the achillies on the 'good' leg (not the foot he broke) from training too hard when he returned. I still think he did some running on the main oval with Connors and Patto? while the others trained on the Melbourne Storm practice pitch.
Tambo - a friend said he was told it was OP :( but I couldn't get a confirmation.
Moore
Petts - was walking unaided.
Silvester - copped some leg injury on Monday and was limping as he walked.
Gus - had an op on his hip and ankle but he should be right now for the rest of preseason.
Putt - had a stretch bandage around his calf but he was still doing running.
As for training itself it was a mixture of fitness (running) and skills work. Some kicking, handball and team/game drills. The 1-on-1 team stuff was spotting up and passing to teammates leading towards the ball carrier. The skills weren't too bad for December. Hands cleaner than feet. The popped over to the main oval for a short while as well but I was talking to friends at this stage so I didn't head over to watch. From a distance it looked like they did some more 1-on-1 team/game drills. When they came back to where we were, they formed small groups and did some 1-on-1 contesting with 2 in the centre and the others in each group circling the two while handballing to one Tiger in the centre while the other tried to stop him getting it. Lukey and Kingy were pretty funny to watch with Kingy holding on like a dog lol. Whitey and Foley were an even competitive match-up and weren't treating it as a training session. About half the squad including most of the newbies left after that and the rest finished off with some sprinting. The shirts had come off by this stage so Julz and Moi would have been in heaven :wallywink.
Some individual reports:
Jacko - I was told he had come back in the best shape out of everyone which impressed the coaching staff.
Whitey - looked really good using his pace to break lines in the team drills. Likewise Lids with his shaved head. They'll be going head to head apparently next Friday in a sprint at the fans training day.
Sugar is still wearing #17 and Newy #1. The oldies - Simmo, Richo, Sugar, Joel and Browny - took short breaks while the others trained. Joel said he'll feeling good. The others were 100% too.
Cogs - trained well and for the full session. He actually looked a fraction lighter in the body. Maybe to help boost his speed(?).
Rainesy - trained fully and moved well. No sign of injuries which plagued him in 2008. Another one who needs a big year in 2009.
Putty and Rance look more solid in the body this summer. Putty was definitely noticeably bigger from the skinny beanpole he was this time last year. I was told they are given a bucket of protein to drink to bulk up.
That's it for now. I'll probably remember more when I look back at the photos. My camera was playing up :-\ so hopefully at least some pics come out and I'll post them.
-
Nice of the media to get the tv cameras out and gush over Carlton and Collingwood's draftees at their training sessions yet not a single tv camera around at Richmond's training to show off our newbies ::).
-
great work mightytiges as always.
hope cotch and tambo are fine and will be training soon.
-
Great stuff MT really missed your reports mate. I stil can't believe we have so many injuries or players in the rehab group at this time of the year. Tambling with OP, freaking great, one good pre-season last year with hardly any injuries to all players and when we are heading into a break through year we have the injury curse again........ sheez. :banghead
-
Tambo - a friend said he was told it was OP :( but I couldn't get a confirmation.
:nope :nope
-
Not sure how someone could develop OP just as training is getting started again
-

Pic 3:
the trailing three are:
A 188cm 19 year old who I won't name. He's also in pics 4 & 6. He's relative new to footy and comes from another sport as a junior.
In the middle I think is Elroy Gilligan - the kid from outside Fitzroy crossing (Y&B have mentioned his name),
and it looks like Jamie Sheahan is on the right.
I can't put a name to the face of the solid kid third from the right.

As all our sessions are closed until the fans training night, we may not have told them it was on or where. I'm quite happy to slip under the radar. I don't see lots of hype about Geelong and Hawthorn and those are the teams I most want to be like.

Thanks for the pics MT. Looks like you might need to clean your lens. I remember taking a who heap of holiday photos only to have them come out almost exactly like that, perhaps a bit worse. Very disappointing. Turns out my daughter had been sticking her fingers all over the lens. Kids, sheesh!

regarding sheahan, i've heard it confirmed that he's been invited down to training. but i dont' think that looks like him, it looks more like liddle.
still very keen to get sheahan tho.
there's a new article from the border mail on the murray kids.

again says klemke is down at training. andrew browne and sheahan invited for the rookie training day on sunday but didn't make it for some reason. have both been invited to come down and will probably do so soon
let's hope so. i'm keen on sheahan and browne, not as much with klemke.

is Graham Polak training???
Apparently (I'll let you know the exact source if you PM me) Polak can not see below his knees and has no peripheral vision. He needs help to work a treadmill and has no chance of ever playing again. The club has kept Graham on the list for welfare and moral issues only.

I doubt it, he is not there to muscle the opposition, he's role in our side is purely as a runner out of defence to deliver the ball in a attacking way up the ground.

On a lighter note.
Can anyone confirm or deny that there is an intra-club practise match planned for tomorrow ?
It's is supposedly going to be held at Coburg.
If so. What time ?
If so then it's likely the majority of our senior list won't be there as they are training elsewhere tomorrow morning.

is Graham Polak training???
Apparently (I'll let you know the exact source if you PM me) Polak can not see below his knees and has no peripheral vision. He needs help to work a treadmill and has no chance of ever playing again. The club has kept Graham on the list for welfare and moral issues only.

I find it hard to believe that we'd let him participate in training drills if that was the case

All I know is Polly gets tired and when he does they pull him off the track. We've also be told he is dropping marks for someone whose marking was a strength before the accident.
-
Isn't it training drills with no contact that he is participating in?
If he is at training due to welfare and morale for his well being then surely he has to be allowed to participate.
-
Just read on another site that Tambling does have OP and Rance and Cotchin have slight achillies strains. Really peeed for Tambling, can't believe this kids bad luck.
-
Thanks for the training report MT, it gave me my off-season footy fix!
Re Richies osteitis pubis, it's a treatable condition and he has a couple of months to get it right so its not all doom and gloom.

Re Richies osteitis pubis, it's a treatable condition and he has a couple of months to get it right so its not all doom and gloom.
But he'll miss a shedload of pre-season training which puts him behind the 8ball in what shapes as a key season for him.
Bad luck indeed.
-
Will certainly open the door for one of the other Mids/HBFers. With Thomson and Hislop coming on board and others like Collins and Raines in the wings it could be hard for Richie to hold his place. Look what happened to Pettifer. Dropped and Morton took his place, Petts found it impossible to regain the position. Possession is 9/10th of the law they say. If Richie misses a few matches to injury or doesn't start the season in the firsts, unless he's obviously a level above one of the other players, he could be stuck in the twos for a wee while.
-
Have to agree with you RROFO. This is going to be a very competitive year for spots with so many good players pushing up at once. Bad timing for Richie. I was hoping he would have his breakout season this year but without a pre-season he may be struggling.
Stripes
-
is there any confirmation that he ACTUALLY has OP?? i mean...all the talk have come from people who say they hear things when they go to training. that doesn't mean jack all.
last year people started rumours that foley had OP half way through the season, which turned out to be false. i think alot of people just start guessing when they dont' see a certain player at training or in the rehab group.

Stripes, not sure who your source is but please tell me it's not this joker.
Everyone is an expert these days and if the Polak thing isn't true then it disheartens me to think of the possible implications that can be caused by someone who spends there time surfing the internet to only plagiarise posts ( factial or not ! ) and make there own.

He's driving a car again. I can't see how he would be allowed to if this is true.
Polly said himself in the Age article he wasn't marking like he used to be so this is no surprise.
Gee I remember the all the different rumours disguised as fact flying around about Browny when he broke his leg.........

They are saying on KB's show today that Polak won't play at all next year and it'll be 2010 at best. It seems we've got a better idea about Polly's rate of recovery since he's been back training for a while now. I think this is the argument the Club will use as to why it has left it to now to apply for Polly to be put on the rookie list as opposed to the end of October.

Y&B report by L&C from the fans training night. Blingers didn't train again.
http://yellowandblack.com.au/forum/showpost.php?p=212462&postcount=48
Plus this from JSFish on BF:
First thing I noticed was that the reports saying Graham Polak can't see below his knees etc are a load of poo. He took a couple of marks from right off his toes, and his skills seemed fine. Was left out once the drills started getting remotely physical/tight though.

-
While I'm a little sceptical about the can't see below his knees thing, if he really is suffering from tunnel vision then he can obviously see below his knees if he's looking down.
-
No matter what anyone says Polly still won't be playing footy next year. Even Polly himself has admitted he is dropping marks he would've taken in his sleep before the accident.
Btw I'll be a lot happier when I see Blingers is back in full training :-\.
-

And on Polak, he was bending down and picking up the ball while running, saw him take a mark low to ground as well but on the other hand saw him drop that hit him lace out on the chest.... but then again so did Richo :whistle ;D

Wrong move, tomorrows session should be open to the public. Its a good chance to sign up members ... if the club closes the session tomorrow its a mistake.

Ben Cousins here for first session
Kids on school holidays
Dads mums uncles aunties grandparents siblings who have had 25 years of pain deciding to take the day off work to see this close up could be a once in a generation chance to go bezerk and make heaps of money from this.
Could be an absolute gold mine in the merchandise shop in terms of footy gear memberships etc. Richmond should publicly declare the time that training is scheduled tomorrow and make a mint out of it. It'll be like an open day before Christmas. Lost opportunity if the Tiges don't open their doors for us Tigger fans.

Just got back from watching training at Punt Rd. The place was chockers :thumbsup and thankfully the rain stayed away. It's our last main session before the Christmas break so hopefully Cuz will be able to have some peace until the squad returns in the new year.
I'll give a more detail report later but just briefly Cousins trained well. He and Richo did about half the session until they walked off together to massive applause and cheers of "go Richo", "go Cuz", and "go Tigers".
In the rehab group were Petts, Jordie, Newy, Connors, Cotch, Schulz. The rehab guys wore black tops while the rest wore white. Tambo was in a black top but he still did about half the session and looked to be moving fine. No problems running at pace or anything.

Training itself was pretty standard for this time of the year. Footpassing, handballing and marking followed by smaller group drills. The only difference is there would be a massive cheer and round of applause everytime they can near the race to have a drink. Makes a change from the usual 5-10 people who watch training. The news crews were moving through the crowd interviewing Tiger fans on their thoughts. One reporter was even asking if gaining Cousins means a premiership next year. Geez it's only December mate :P.
The first group drills were footy based ones starting with a stoppage on the wing between two teams of about 7 or 8 players each and then passing to a one-on-one contest inside the forward line. The skill level was very clean and crisp for December. Clean hands even when gathering the footy at pace on the tips of the toes. Jack from memory who was up forward at one stage took a spectacular mark in the tips of his fingers at full stretch :clapping.
For the next drill the main squad would split into three and they would do more game like activities under the instruction of an assistant coach. Once they finished with one activity the groups would rotate to the next one. The group closest to the fans was run by Cambo and it was handball game where the group would be split into two teams and the attacking team would have to handball their way playing keepings off until they were close enough to handball the footy through a hoop on top a stand. If a player was tackled/touched with the ball then it was an automatic turnover to the other team.
Some individual reports. First the newbies.
Cuz - trained well for his first full on training session with a club in over 12 months or whatever it is. Some fans were getting carried away cheering and clapping every possession he had but he got through the half session he was expected to do successsfully and injury free. He also seemed to gel with the rest of the players as training went along which was good to see.
Browne is a big boy :o. Just from a size point of view he is virtually readymade. What would have impressed the coaching staff is he is good below his knees for a big kid. He's not a big inflexibile lug who will go missing once the ball hits the ground.
Nahas and Gilligan are slight and short. We'll need to see them in a game environment before judging if they can make it at AFL level. I didn't notice Nahas too much. He might have been in the rehab but I can't remember for sure. Tambo after training drove Gilligan home in his car. Good to see Richie taking care of the Alroy.
Gourdis' kicking technique is still hit and miss when passing to a teammate.
A mate who has been to more training sessions in the last couple of weeks told me he's been very impressed with Thomson.
Now onto some of the others.....
Lids - he's looking the best of out there IMO. Solid as in the upper body and classy as you'd expect.
Browny - a mate I was sitting with thought Browny looked like he could play more in the middle next year. I agreed. It's probably his first full preseason since breaking his leg and he's looking super fit. He and Rainesy had something going on during the handball game. They kept going on with it after a tackle pulling shirts and wrestling on the ground. Nothing too agro or anything like that but they were having fun having a go at and stirring each other.
Cogs moved as well as we've seen him. Still it's how he goes during a match especially once the ball clears out into space that will test whether he is back. I was told the club gets nervous about his knee when he's in pack situations because he has no fear and just throws himself in there without care for self preservation.
Edwards looks to have added muscle across the shoulders.
Gus - A friend asked him about his ankle(s) and he said they were fine. "Didn't you see me train out there today" lol.
Rance is another one who is a big boy now. I forgot to say before they also had him in the rebab group IIRC.
Good to Blingers even for half a session train fully. Seems the OP rumour was garbage after all. For the other half of training he trained on his own.
Kingy - Cambo had to give him the hurry up "push" a couple times when he was trailing the others in the handball game as they from one end to the other.
I'll post some photos that I took later on.
-
Thanks heaps MT :thumbsup
Re Lids, the couple of photos I have seen of him lately has his upper body looking absolutely awesome. I am excited about Cotch and Cuz but the one I am looking forward to the most is Lids.
-
I was going to go but I did not wake up till 9.15 and CBF :-\
How was it lads?
Anyone got a photo of Lids/Cuz/Cotchin together by any chance? :shh
When is next one?
-
Just one more thing - the buzz around the club and today at training is infectious. It feels like we've woken up and remembered we are a big club with a big following. A bit like '95. Let's hope this time it's not just a fleeting moment and we as a the club make it last.
At the moment we are THE CLUB in Melbourne. LOL at the Pies naming their new captain today because we are getting all the attention. Sorry maggies no one gives a stuff :lol. There were journos and news crews all over the place at Punt Rd. They were running everywhere from entrance to entrance and inside and outside Punt Rd. Ch 9 had two news FWDs plus another car to cover it all today. They even had one journo rushed by taxi to the door of the Social club to make it. Then we had supporters as complete strangers exchaning mobile numbers and minding different entrances to try and catch Cousins before the press conference. Cuz was snuck in directly between the changerooms/pool buildings to the Social club. It was crazy as.

You guys are great, fantastic report and pictures thanks again. Tell me something though please do we have any major injury concerns that will keep any of our players from completing a full pre-season that you have heard? Tambling is obviously ok, what about Thursty, Cotch and anyone else you can think of.
Cheers.

regarding the rehab group. on top of the guys u've mentioned, it also included rance and nahas. as for the top colours, i believe rance, nahas, mcmahon and newy wore white tops.
i believe tambo was in the black top because he let alroy wear his white no.30 top

Cousins play by play
Jeff Wortman | December 17, 2008 11:00am
PUNT Road oval was gripped with Cousins fever this morning as Ben Cousins made his first appearance in the yellow and black. There was a strange feeling of accomplishment from the fans. The tribe has spoken and they got their man. Even the signing of Nathan Brown in 2004 didn't produce crowds like this in December!
It is clear that Cousins is going to be heavily scrutinised in the coming season. In the interests of starting the ball rolling I decided to make a log of his first training session to be used as a sort of form guide for eager Tiger fans wondering if Ben is going to deliver them a long-awaited premiership.
Morning training session
9:02 Cousins runs out with the team to a massive ovation. He is wearing Greg Tivendale’s number on his back number – 32.
9:03 Jack Riewoldt, wearing a hat backwards gives Ben his first high five
9:05 The team do two slow laps around Punt Rd, stopping to stretch as they go. Ben is not the hard head setting the pace at the front of the pack, he sits somewhere in the middle.
9:15 Ben has a short kick to kick with Jake King. 100 per cent efficiency on his right foot, his left not quite as impressive.
9:17 Ben scuffs a kick to King and he walks over menacingly but to Cousins relief all he receives from King is a pat on the back.
9:23 Huddle forms around Terry Wallace – Cousins starts to pad his high five stats with the players indicating he has been well received.
9:25 Richard Tambling and Cousins perform some sort of ghetto high five with a closed fist.
9:30 Marking and kicking drill. Cousins' pinpoint skills impressive
9:32 Cousins executes his 128th disposal for the session, taking him past Tivendale’s career number of disposals and thus making him the greatest Richmond no. 32 in history
9:37 Light warm down run with Richo, away from the main group. Hard to read Richo’s lips from distance but he appears to say something along the lines of ‘here’s how it works. You get the ball to me and I do the rest. It the way it is and the way is has always been
9:40 Cousins leaves the track.
Possible afternoon schedule
12:00 Collect advance salary payment
12:30 Spend advanced salary payment on two Nathan Brown tee shirts.
12:45 Visit solarium with Terry Wallace. Terry to pass on 50 per cent of discount for signing another new customer
1:20 Swotvac training session with Tom Hafey to amend 12 months away from the game.
3:00 Urine test
3:15 Ask Richo if he fancies a glass of apple juice as a practical joke.
3:30 Break news to Ricky Nixon that the Tigers only have $120,000 in their salary cap.
3:45 Haircut.
4:00 Hair test.
4:15 Rehearse Tigers theme tune with Russell Robertson. He just can't say no.
4:45 Call Matthew Lloyd and ask if he wants to hang out in the interests of avoiding any trouble.
5:00 Have a latte at Pellegrinis and talk about La Mama. This is Melbourne, baby.

From: A case of dual identity: 'Cuz" at Tigerland
Greg Baum | December 18, 2008
....
About 2000 fans were back yesterday morning at a dampened Punt Road to welcome Cousins to their club. Some, a gaggle, waited three hours after training for a further adoring glimpse.
Fans, of course, have a luxury that officials do not: to judge only on appearances and to close their minds to all sensitivities except the imperative of the next win. At Richmond, there have been too few of them for too long. And the Tigers love their saviours, the more so if they are flawed.
The other Cousins was the footballer on the ground, distinctively his pigeon-chested self even in Greg Tivendale's vacated No. 32 guernsey, fit-looking, but finer in the arms and legs than when he last played.
At first he performed regulation running and kicking drills with the squad, responding to instantly familiar calls of "Cuz" from new teammates, some whose names he could not have known. Then he changed into running shoes for a series of 200-metre sprints alongside resident legend Matthew Richardson, run at an earnest pace and causing both to gasp and wince.
Notably, Cousins stretched his hamstrings after every sprint and every kick, did not kick through the ball at any stage and did not bend for balls kicked at his feet; this being Richmond and December, they were plentiful. At length, Cousins and Richardson called it a day; it had lasted three-quarters of an hour.
Cousins' precautions were sensible, but they were also a reminder that he is 30, has barely played for two years and limped out of his last game with a torn hamstring, memories that deterred some clubs from drafting him as much as any underworld connections and history of drug addiction.
This, in shorts and training guernsey, was Cousins stripped down to the essentials — a footballer again, to live or die on his footballing wits and exploits. Now the reconciliation begins, between Cousins and the game, and between the two Cousinses. Yesterday's news conference was a start.
....
He said he had learned much about himself, categorically the hard way. He spoke of how he had learned to deal evenly with the attention, but regretted that it had been "painful and stressful" for family and friends.
He said he had deserved his suspension, but now deserved his second chance. He said he had begun to despair of getting one, that he would have to earn his place in the Richmond team, that he would have to adapt to a game that had changed since he last appeared, but that he was confident of returning to "somewhere near" his best.
It was a vintage Cousins display: poised, self-confident, without artifice, disarming in its way, delivered as he once delivered on the field and hopes and intends to again, from the heart.
But as the microphones and lights were turned off and he made for the exit, he was still rubbing his hamstrings.

The journo's are desperate to see Cousins fail aren't they?! Now that they have ridden the positive wave of optimism from the football public they want more headline and Cousins breaking down through injury or, even better, getting back on the drugs would be on every journo's Christmas Wishlist for the coming new year. Sad profession really.
Lets ease Cousins back in and give him every support we can because the wolves will be baying next year for Cousins, Terry and the club in general next year...the media live for it.

MT, any chance you can do some investigatory work to find out why Cotch isn't training?

Read somewhere that it is the Achilles, not the bad one from last year though??

The journo's are desperate to see Cousins fail aren't they?! Now that they have ridden the positive wave of optimism from the football public they want more headline and Cousins breaking down through injury or, even better, getting back on the drugs would be on every journo's Christmas Wishlist for the coming new year. Sad profession really.
It seems that Australia media is fairly big on this, building celebs/sports/music stars up and then tearing them down all in the name of selling papers.
Very sad indictement that our media profession has gone down this path (in the majority anyway).

regarding the rehab group. on top of the guys u've mentioned, it also included rance and nahas. as for the top colours, i believe rance, nahas, mcmahon and newy wore white tops.
i believe tambo was in the black top because he let alroy wear his white no.30 top
Cheers peggles. You're right.
You guys are great, fantastic report and pictures thanks again. Tell me something though please do we have any major injury concerns that will keep any of our players from completing a full pre-season that you have heard? Tambling is obviously ok, what about Thursty, Cotch and anyone else you can think of.
Tambo will be okay. WP said he'll be back training fully in the new year and yesterday he showed no signs of restricted movement when he was running and kicking. Not sure about Thursty but he's often be one who doesn't train every session. Cotch trained too hard when he returned after the break. Not sure what's actually wrong. It could just a niggle although he hasn't trained with the main group for a few weeks. There was a rumour going around he had an achillies problem (in his 'good' leg) as tigerfan mentioned but I haven't heard anything since. Petts is of course a long-term injury. Fingers crossed everyone else remains fit. I heard Simmo was having a little bit of trouble with his knees last Friday but he trained yesterday. Gus said his ankle is and will be fine.

Never let us down do you MT, cheers for the report mate, are you sure you aren't Terry Wallace....... with that info you keep coming up with mate...... :bow ;)
-
Was Hyslop there? I don't think anyone has mentioned him...
-
Yeah Hislop was there. Couple of photos of him on the 120 photos thread.
-
From thecotch on BF:
"I spoke to foley who is amazed with cotchin. Says he's a freak. Confirmed it's the achillies causing him some trouble but says will be fine."

Training today was at an overcast yet warmish Vic Park.
They trained for just under 2 hours from 9am. I got there just after 9.30. Not much to report as far as what they did. One footy drill where they linked up to have running snaps on goal and then the rest of the session was repeated 100m and 200m running in groups of about eight. Some very stuffed boys by the end.
As far as the rehab group:
I was told Cotch was there for only 10-15 minutes at the start and then left. He's still recovering from that achillies.
Schulz stayed for the first hour and watched from the sidelines.
Daniel Connors has apparently hurt his ankle again.
Apart from that the rest of the squad looked in good shape. The oldies Richo, Browny, Sugar, Joel and Simmo trained for the whole session. As did Cogs. Browny looked like a drenched rat by the end. The sweat pouring out of his head. A friend mentioned he's slowed down a touch but he kept up with the others from what I saw. Whitey, Foley and Jacko dominated the 200m runs. Whitey was still flying that by the end of training that they were starting him 10m behind the others in his group. He still caught up with them easily by halfway.
At the end of training they sat on the ground in their midfield, forward and backline groups with their respective assistant coach in charge. Richo of course is now part of the midfield group with Foley, Lids, Tuck, Tambo, Thomson and co. IIRC I think Rainsey was in the mids too. Cambo handed the mids all a sheet of paper and talked it through with them. I don't know what was on the sheet but we all joked that on Richo's it said in big bold type - "do what you want" :lol.
Wallace sat on the boundary and watched on for the whole session. The assistants ran the session with Cambo directing most of it from what I saw before the fitness coordinator took over for the running.
Our first year guys were absent and were at Monash instead. I believe they had their AFL induction day today. Cousins wasn't at Vic Park either which meant the media stayed away. All trained with Cambo and Rawlings at Punt Rd later on around 11.30am for about 30-45 minutes. Wallace turned up at Punt Rd as well for the last bit to watch.
We also had a couple of AIS boys at training. One of them wore #13 - Rhys Mott from Ulverstone, Tasmania. A small midfielder.
I took some photos. I'll post them later on when I get a chance.
-
I forgot to add Morton and Nahas were also in the rehab group although I don't know what was wrong with them.
Also during each drink break every player was told to start leaning and pushing against someone else as they walked off just to test their fitness out further.

Brilliant report as always MT. :thumbsup
Looks like bloody hard work from where I am sitting.
Not great news about Connors and Cotchin particularly. Both these guys missed slabs of last pre season too. :-\
Other notes:
How is Cogs keeping up with the rest of the group?
By the looks of the photos he seems to be well holding his own. Very encouraging. :)
Please tell more.
The boys are looking super fit.
Kel Moore particularly looks fantastic as do White & Jackson.
Lastly seems the team have a good rapport with each other particularly the youngsters.
Good to see.
Thanks again.
-
Nice to see most of our side with bodies about ready to compete at AFL level.
Even Putt looks a nice size for a second year player. Polo still looks thin - especially those sailor legs as Wallace calls it.
-
and how's the condition of that dung heap?
The surface is a lush green colour so it looks in decent enough nick. I didn't go out and walk on it to notice how hard it is under foot. Hopefully we've had enough rain in Melbourne to soften it up enough so we don't need to worry about stress fractures as in previous years. This year will be the last time we'll need to train at Vic Park with Craigieburn almost ready thank god.
Off-field the stands and all deserve to be levelled. Dung heap is a good description. So much for the Pies caring about their traditions eh! :chuck

No probs Magic.
Well the word I heard out of the club today is "Cogs is burning" as far as training goes but I guess we'll have to see how he goes in actual matches even the intra-club ones before we know where he is exactly at. All clubs are saying their players are burning at this time of the year. He was moving perfectly fine and if you only saw him for the first time today you wouldn't have guessed he is coming off two-knees and OP over the past 5 years. I was also told via a friend that the club is slightly concerned about him in packs (how his body will cope) but there's no stopping Cogs as he knows no other way than hard at the footy.
Just as an aside the club has finally realised from Gary Ablett jnr and Daniel Kerr that you need 'blockers' around stoppages who can not only win the ball but also when they don't have it protect your best mids like Foley from being continually targetted and crunched by the opposition. Hence us chasing after Adam Thomson.

doesnt matter where that mob set up camp, it still wont bring them they success they think it will, the only tradition they have now is that god awful jumper.
and the funny thing is that they all follow the Pied piper and hang on his every word....what a gullible mob they are. :lol
-
From the pictures Cogs certainly looks he's able to keep up around mid-pack in the sprints which is a good sign
He's clearly ahead of Tuck in the 100m and we all now how well Tucky went in the 2nd half of last year so I don't think lack of pace will be the issue.
-
Is that JON coming near last in the 100m sprint?
I thought he was one of our quickest?!?

Great to hear. Boy do I hope Mark makes it back. :bow
Cogs like Cousins will need game time now.
Match fitness is a whole new ball game after missing so much senior footy.
-
Is that JON coming near last in the 100m sprint?
I thought he was one of our quickest?!?
Yeah, looks like him but if you look at the first photo he is right up there with Jackson and Deledio so there must be a reason for it.

The starts were pretty arbitary so a one off last place is no big deal. He may have been slow out off the starting line or just behind it.

Halfway back from Holidays to home and thanks to MT yet again I have had my training fix, excellent work again MT. By the way any news on the Cotch, I mean has he wasted that early training form from this achilies injury or what??

I guess it depends on when Cotch eventually gets back into training :-\. He was still good enough to play without a preseason last year but he couldn't last a full game. In hindsight Cotch lead the other young guns like Connors in a hard preseason to start with and now both are out injured :P.
-
Thanks for the report MT.
I do know that Cotch is really struggling at the moment and will (most likely) not participate in the NAB cup...he 'should' be ok for round 1 but it's a shame he once again misses a big chunk of the pre season... >:(

Ta for that Goohuc. Cotch has learnt a lesson about levels of training the hard way :-\. I know he is a freak but you'd still think he'll need to be back on the training track and playing the last few practice matches to be right for round 1. Geez I hope he is right by March if he is really struggling at the moment :(.
-
Cotchin needs to be better handled, everyone has to understand he is a 12 to 15 year player ... he shouldnt be overworked in preseason to the point where he is suffering injuries.

It can be argued that it is what they're doing.

i dont think anyone at the club has overworked him Ramps.....
DOn't forget that he and a couple of others trained on their own during their break (I am sure I read Cotch and Jack trained together) so perhaps that had something to do with it.

Certainly appears from the outside that training over enthusiastically has cost him.
Obviously trying too hard to improve given he missed such a slab of the previous pre season.
He'll learn from it.
Just do whatever it takes to get him right now..

Training today was at a hot Vic Park. It started around 9am and finished about 2 hours later. The cool change thankfully came around 10.30 but it was warm in the sun. A day the boys earnt their money.
I got there about 9.15 and I saw Cotch, Connors, Gourdis and Nahas leaving so they weren't around long. Petts was running along the boundary but left as well shortly after. I didn't see Morton or Patto. Browny didn't do much except have about a 100 snap shots at goal. Adam Thomson left during training so I'm not sure what was wrong with him. Apart from those guys everyone else trained.
As for training itself they first worked on a couple of full ground things for an hour. As well as the usual run and carry and coaches telling them to take their man on they also were working into the drill spreading from little groups placed evenly around the ground. So you would say a 4 on 2 situation in each group with the 4 attackers starting close together with the 2 defenders and then as the ball was kicked towards them the 4 would spread quickly into the space to offer up leading options. I know we're hearing Cousins this and Cousins that but his kicking skills are spot on. Every kick of his is to the advantage of the reciprient and hits the target whereas others were rusty and kicked the occasional pass that landed at the feet of their teammate.
They then changed the drill slightly so it was more game based. Defenders zoning and spread amongst the attacking team while it was one-on-one up forward. The first time the kicked off all 3 kicks missed the target :P so Cambo blew his whistle, told them you've got to hit your targets and made them do it again. The skill level improved as the drill went along and players started to pinpoint longer passes that split the defence which gained praise from Cambo. They had Lids, Cuz, Jordie, JON, Schulz, Foley, Whitey and Jacko behind the ball starting from HB as he rebounders. Richo, Jack and Cleve up forward from what I could see. It seemed everyone was encouraged to play on quickly. Even the lead-up targets would mark, take a step back away from the mark and then either dish off a handball to a receiver running past or just play on themselves.
After the run and carry drills they did some punishing back-to-back-to-back length of the Vic Park sprints. Foley finished first by 5m in about all of them followed by Jacko, Whitey and Hislop if my eyes didn't deceive me. Poor big Andrew Browne was feeling it big time afterwards at the drinks break. Hands on the head and gasping for air. Welcome to AFL training. Good on Jack to pat him on the back and to give him encouragement.
They then finished off with some team-based goal scoring. They'd have a group line up 50m out on a line between two cones with 5 defenders in front them. An attacking group would then have to handball and work one of their teammates into space to have a snap for goal. This was done directly in front and on a 45 degree angle. Ummm all I'll say is we were a bit rusty.
Lids and Cuz stayed out of the last 30 minutes of training and did some reflex drills together with a couple of the trainers. The first year guys also did their own thing away from the main group as did the rucks - Simmo, Putt, Vickery and Gus.
As I was leaving I noticed Brian Cousins was watching training. Apparently his mum was there too. Good to see Ben now has solid support around him.
I took some photos myself so I'll post them later on.

Another Mighty report. :)
Bloody hell it looks like thirsty work.
Speaking of which I have hardly heard a peep about Wil this off season, how's he going MT?
Also we've heard about which boys are flying but are there any that are doing it noticeably tougher than others?
Cheers as always. 8)
-
Just a couple more things from training I forgot to mention earlier....
The crowd was over 100 people there. Plenty of kids in Tiger guernseys too with school holidays. Cuz knows how to pull a crowd.
Bucks showed up with the AIS kids to watch us train.
In the goalkicking drill, Polak was a defender intercepted the ball. Jack spent the next 5 minutes saying great defence Graham Polak. You can't shut Jack up lol. Even when everyone was stuffed from the sprints and trying to gain their breath he was still very vocal encouraging the group.
Polo looked very good today. Hopefully a sign the riot act he was given has sunk in.
-
Speaking of which I have hardly heard a peep about Wil this off season, how's he going MT?
He trained for most of the session today but for most of the preseason as he did during the actual season last year he doesn't always train every session. I'm not sure why. Maybe Will and the fitness staff know his limits?! I'm sure when the actual scratch matches start he'll be involved.
Also we've heard about which boys are flying but are there any that are doing it noticeably tougher than others?
The newbies always do it tough. It's a big jump from training say 3 nights a week in the U18's to full-time professional 6 days a week with the elite open age. The Club wisely only makes them do only part of the training each session to protect their developing bodies. There was an article in the Age yesterday about junior footballers (AIS kids) copping injuries before they arrive at the AIS through training too hard.
The older guys also need to be treated with kid gloves except Richo does everything anyway because he is a freak who appears to be getting better with age. Browny has slowed down a fraction.
Cotch is still carrying that achillies problem :-\.
Apart from that everyone who is uninjured appears to be putting in. It's hard to get a true guide as they've done no real match practice yet.
-
Appreciate the great pics but Pick 4 not working for me cyclops. :-\
Ta Magic. Fixed. It's a bit blurry but it shows Hislop finishing ahead of the others with Foley.
-
Great info as always. Thanks for the update on WillyT & the strugglers.
Cotch is still carrying that achillies problem :-\.
It is of concern as it's been some time now.
Do you know the extent of the injury?
Is it tendinitis or a partial tear?
I am a little worried considering he's also had problems on the other leg too.
Safe to say he is the last player we need having ongoing injury concerns.

Polo looked very good today. Hopefully a sign the riot act he was given has sunk in.
did i miss something "MT"?
what "riot act he was given"?
great reporting. :thumbsup
no good about Cotchin. :-[
is Cotchin running?
how is Tambling training?
how is Hughes training?
-
Excellent work MT, thanks!
I look for ward to their next training session so I can take a few pics and post a report next time too.
-
Id like to know how Vickery, Thomson and Hislop are going ... anyone who knows please tell us ;D
-
thanks for the reports and pixs good stuff

On Cotch, I don't know for sure but I beleive it's more soreness Magic and not a tear. The Club isn't talking about it or making a fuss about it. Cotch isn't running. Only doing some handball in the rehab group at the start of starting then leaves after 15 minutes.
torch, Polo was apparently told at the end of last season to get his act together (re: on and off field). He's signed a new two year deal but the word is the second year of it depends on the first. So far in the preseason you can't criticize him. He looks to be working his backside off. Hopefully also he's over his shoulder problems which have bugged him since 2007.
Tambling is training fully now and moving well. I wouldn't say he's bulked up noticably but he looks more confident in himself now days.
Cleve has had a full preseason so far but i haven't noticed him that much too be honest. You need to them perform in a scratch match to judge if there's any significant improvement. In Cleve's case to see if he can give us those second and third efforts which are missing from his game at the moment at AFL level.
Vickery like most of the newbies is doing about of the main squad training to ease him into it as well as spending time with Monkhurst practising ruckwork along with Simmo, Gus, Putt and Patto.
Thomson went off the ground with a trainer about 30 mins into the session. Not sure if there's anything wrong or just a precautionary thing.
Hislop was finishing in the top 4 in the sprints which surprised me a bit as I've heard a couple of Bomber fans criticize his pace or lack of it. Hopefully a sign he's making the most of the second chance we've given him.

:santa Well either were really slow as a team and just kidding ourselves (I don't think we are, nothing wrong with our pace as a team) or we may have uncovered a winner. Signs are good.
Lets all face it. Who in there right minds would be motivated to play with the bombers? lol.

Thanks for the update MT. I also was of the opinion that Hislop was "slow" so hopefully he has found another gear. Hopefully his attitude is improved as well, he could be a real bonus along with Thomson.

thank you "mightytiges"
Cotchin doesn't seem right. not running and completing the training can't be good news.
great to hear that Coughlan will play in the NAB Cup Round 1.
-

Maybe they sent Hislop to the same sprint school as Foley. I always thought Foley was a bit slow until one year for some reason he exploded with pace. I think they did a lot of work on his running technique to draw out more pace. They may have done the same with Hislop.

They probably play a police siren behind Hislop to get him running fast :lol

A poster on BF says they spoke to a RFC trainer and Cotch may be back training next week (won't play round 1 NAB Cup though). Hopefully that's right :pray.

Hopefully that's right on Cotch MT. :)
How's Polak looking in the drills BTW?
Looking at some of the photos he seems to be going ok, can you please give us a clearer picture as to his progress?

I don't know exactly how Polly is coming along but I think the media got carried away yesterday reporting almost as if Polly could play actual matches. There's been no scratch matches or game conditions with full only tackling, bumping and collisions that he has been or can be involved in. I'm not saying that where Polly is at now isn't amazing given where he came from after the accident and he is doing most of the running and skillwork at training (a sign he is not getting as tired as before especially in that heat IMO). But let's allow him to train and get his life back together which he is doing without raising expectations that he may be able to play actual games as the media did yesterday.

i agree. while it's too early to expect him to play actual games, i think he's certainly moving in the right direction. pre-christmas he wasn't doing any contact work at all, only kicking drills and handball drills. but at wednesday's session he was doing all of them, including some with the kpps wrestling for position etc. certainly good signs but early days yet.
-
Can anyone who watches training tell me how Polak is going re: ball handling/marking? I know there were stories going around pre-Christmas that he has lost some peripheral vision and I just wondered if this is still the case or noticeable.

I saw Polly drop a mark but from just one error you can't make any conclusions. He could have just stuffed up one. He looked fine in terms of ball handling (that's why the media got excited) and as a defender even intercepted a handpass in the goalkicking drill to which Jack yelled out and gave him praise for. So if he has lost some peripheral vision it wasn't noticeable at Wednesday's training.

Training today was at a warm Trevor Barker Oval in Sandringham. It's a good place to watch training and Cambo said it's one of the best training grounds. Until Craigieburn comes online we are still moving around here, there and everywhere. It's handy training by the beach as after training finished they all headed down for a 10 minute dip in Port Phillip Bay. They all got into their togs in the changerooms at the oval before walking down to the beach (Julz and Moi would've been in heaven). Well not all as Richo came out in these beige boxer shorts (not a good look :lol) and even posed for photos with a couple of fans in them :wallywink. Anyway back to training ...
In rehab was Cotch who again didn't hang around long again. I asked Jade Rawlings about him and Jade said Cotch is doing fine. He's just not training on Wednesday's yet but will be back in two weeks. We also asked a trainer about Cotch and he said 3 weeks :-\.
Also in rehab were Connors, Polak, McGuane, Thomson.
Browny didn't do much except goalkicking.
The rucks mostly did their own thing. Simmo and Gus were doing marking duels when I arrived. The comic relief moment of the day was when Gus slipped over and then Simmo thinking here is the easiest of marks slipped over too about a second later and the ball went over the both them :wallywink.
The first drill I saw was a tackling drill. Everyone was wearing those padded puffy tops and they would get in rows facing each other with one player with the ball and the other player facing opposite had to charge in and tackle. They were told by one of the assistant coaches it doesn't matter if you miss I just want you to go in hard and fast. Most of the tackles stuck btw. I overheard a coach tell Cleve that he needed to go in harder.
After a drinks break, for the next drill the squad split into three equally sized groups in the shape of a triangle about 30m apart for a handball/handball receive drill. The main point to it was to run in 3s or 4s into a group of defenders in the middle of the triangle and the attacking team to attract the defenders towards them and then dish of a teammate free in space. Cambo congratulated them on both the standard of handballs and defensive efforts especially from Blingers who was able to close down attackers a few times. The last go at the drill got a bit sloppy though. Cousins make these peripheral visions and footy smart drills look simple. He always has time to spot and execute clean disposal. Mind you the natural footballers in the squad like Jack, Morton and Moore also do well. I'll also add there was plenty of noise from a verry vocal group which was good to hear and see.
Next up was a similar drill but they spread out further to three groups 40m apart and introduced kicking and they took away a number of the defenders in the midde.
Before finishing up they seemed to discuss some tactical ploys in a on-ground lecture. I kept an eye on the group closest to us where Cambo along with Wallace were instructing the mids and smalls defenders on where to be and run to in various scenarios. As part of this they also had Hughes at FF near the goalsquare with Silvester on him plus Jack at CHF (Sarge on him) and Morton up high (Rainesy on him). Rainesy was asked to push up then drop back and in each case Cambo would be advising all the mids (inside, outside and taggers) on what they wanted from them. They started on the 50 then Cambo and Wallace moved the mids up to the wing for more on-field tactical instructions. While this was going on David King had a few of taller defenders with him going through things verbally.
That's what I can remember for now. Any questions just fire away.
Photos to come. Cheers!
-
I forgot to add that JON said he had a shoulder reco after last season as we know and although it is still a touch sore it's all good and he can train fully with it.
-
How is Cleve looking MT? Is he going to be our FF on a long term basis? Have always thought that once his body matured, he would be the one to target and finish for us up forward. Looks a real classy player when he gets the footy and also seems to time his leads well. Has good hands as well, and as we all know, he is a good finisher.
The midfield that is being built will kick it down his throat IMHO, just a matter of him being capable enough. With Jack and others like Mitch Morton up there as well, our forward line is looking pretty good, but Cleve has to fire!!
-
Great stuff MT, yet again, thanks for the info on Cotch it would be nice to ge a straight answer though wouldnt it?? What about McGuane, Thompson and Connors are they far off and do we know their injuries? I realise Connors has ankle issues but how far off is he?
Cheers
-
tf1961 - with Cleve I'm waiting to see him in a scratch match or intra club game. He's doing all the work at training and training well in the main so it's hard to critique if he has improved when it comes to actual games. He definitely has the size now to be a key forward so there's no excuses there. He needs the mental toughness and overall fitness to commit to second and third efforts if he wants to be an AFL player. He got told off once today by Terry to go in harder in the tackling drill. Unfortunately it's hard to give you a proper answer without seeing Cleve under game pressure and scenarios.
WAT - yep it would be great to have a definitive return date for Cotch. I'm hoping this isn't one of these "1-2 week" injuries that last for ages :-\. As for Connors he was still limping and wasn't wearing any footwear (ankle only tapped) so he might still be a couple of weeks away. I'm not sure what's wrong with Thommo. He went off midway through training last week but there was no obvious sign of any injury when he walked past. Lukey I don't either. I'm guessing he may have been give a rest today as he looked fine to me.
-
Great stuff MT, cheers mate.

Let's hope so tf1961 for our and Cleve's sake. He has a lot of critics amongst our supporters who see him as soft and lacking intensity. As a tall he's just turned 22 and from the 3rd pic we can see he's got the size now so I'm willing to persevere with him but he needs to start showing he can stay in the game even when the goals aren't flowing.
-
thank you MT ...
just some questions ...
1) this may seem like a silly question, but does any player talk to Ben Cousins, encourage him, have a laugh etc with him? all the pictures i have seen in this thread, Cousins seems to not be near anyone when walking off? if not, which player(s) talk to Cousins the most?
2) Mitch Morton completing all sessions?
3) does Nathan Brown seem slower?
4) has Jordan McMahon put on weight?
5) is Coughlan finishing high in the group running the sprints?
6) is it "OK" to go down to training and film Richmond training?
-

One of his biggest critics is right here.
Cleve needs to extract the digit massively if he's to make it.
I get the feeling Terry knows Cleve's game & is on his case.
No favours. No walk up starts. Go and work your arse off or you are outta here. 8)

Nah not a silly question. There is hand slapping after each drill with Cuz but he does seem more focussed on his training without being buddy buddy with everyone. I'd give him some slack. We don't see what goes behind closed doors (the players say he's now one of the boys) and he's only been at the Club for just over a month with a young list that he wouldn't know. 18 months ago when Cuz last played consistently many of our young guys now in our 22 were still at Coburg. He'd be familiar with the older guys and Morton but that's about it. Also he's been on a modified training program where early on he was training separately with the first year newbies who themselves would be shy around a Ben Cousins. I think we need to wait a few months and playing some matches together before he becomes truly comfortable at Richmond. He's told fans one-on-one he is enjoying his time here.
2) Mitch Morton completing all sessions?
Mitch missed a couple of sessions a week or so ago with some niggle but now he's back into full training again.
3) does Nathan Brown seem slower?
I wouldn't say slower than last year but he is slower than when he was in his mid 20s. He is getting older. He still has the footy smarts though to create time and space that isn't there.
4) has Jordan McMahon put on weight?
;D Next!
5) is Coughlan finishing high in the group running the sprints?
I wouldn't say high up as in top 3 but he's not at the back either.
6) is it "OK" to go down to training and film Richmond training?
I wouldn't try it unless you want Tyrone's dad who is our boxing coach to throw you out thinking you're a spy :lol. You may get away with a 10sec clip using a mobilephone or plain digital camera but that's about it. You could always pretend to be part of the media pack if you're game enough but then the media guys know each other as well as the coaches so they'd blow your cover.

I think we need to wait a few months and playing some matches together before he becomes truly comfortable at Richmond. He's told fans one-on-one he is enjoying his time here.
Think we also need to remember what a huge year this is for him personally. There would be a lot of stress to go along with managing more pressure than probably any other AFL footballer has ever had to manage before.
Can anyone think of another situation or player that has had so many different angles and areas of intrigue associated with him? I cant.
He's got to deal with his addiction. Up to three drug tests every week. Media speculation. His past history with underworld types. Some very public mistakes he has made. The tall poppy syndrome. Huge expectations from fans. His possibly suspect body (hamstring history). The fact that he has turn 30 and is not getting any younger. The fact he is in a new town. Making new friends. Being away from football for over a year. The fact that this is his absolutely last chance.
I am not surprised if he is taking the training very seriously and may not seem to be quite as chummy with the guys as some of the others. The training and the football after all is what he wants to do and what he enjoys, he would not want to make a mistake now.
We laugh about the media crap and we have our thread where we make up funny and seemingly ridiculous articles about Cuz and the Burly Man. Funny for us but this is his reality. He makes one false move and it's plastered all over the front page. Facts exaggerated, associations made with very loose ties to reality.
This is a HUGE deal for him and will probably define a fair bit of the rest of his life. Stuff this up and his life changes dramatically for the worse, get it right and a lot of doors open for him.

Indeed that is a very insightful most there RROFO.
Plenty on Cuz's plate.
I hope he's getting a lot of support from the club to help him deal with what's going through his head.
No doubt Bond & Livingstone will be well involved with him.

Training today was an early start (9am) at Vic Park. More milder temperatures than compared to last week's scorchers although it still got hot when the sun was fully out. The session went for just under 2 hours.
The only media was a photographer taking snaps from the stands until a helicopter turned up and kept doing laps of Vic Park in the air for about 10 minutes. Someone must have forgotten to tell them it was an open session lol. About 20-30 fans turned up to watch.
In the rehab group were:
Petts and Sugar who did some laps. Sugar apparently hurt himself at training on Monday and had a bandage around his knee.
Cotch once again did hardly anything. A couple of laps plus some ball-handling and that's about it. He has no strapping around the achillies so he looks fine but he's just not training.
No sign of Tambo or Thursty today. I don't remember JON either but I'll have to check the photos to be sure.
Training itself began with a warm-up kick to kick before they got into the first drill which was a standard pick up a rolling ball along the ground, handball off and then run to the next mark where you then mark and footpass to a teammate.
The next drill was about quick running and movement of footy from one end of Vic Park to the other. Each player had to start at one end of the ground with the footy and then footpass to a teammate who in turn would pass it to someone else inside the centre square. By the time this 3rd guy gained possession the first player would have had to sprint towards him in readiness for the handball receive and then footpass it off again to someone at the opposite end of the ground and then they would repeat the process the other way and have two footys going at once in each direction. This drill seemed made for the upcoming game on the spacious Subiaco Oval. Fairly cleanly done although Jack had a case of the fumbles until he warmed up.
Next up was some match simulation. The main squad was split into 3 groups - 2 groups of forwards/backs at either end of the ground plus the rucks/mids in the centre with one 'team' in white jumpers and the other in blue singlets.
They would continually swap jumpers and singlets to mix the match-ups up but in the group closest to the Sherrin Stand we had the following match-ups:
HF: Riewoldt up high @ CHF / Polak Hislop
Moore/Schulz/McGuane Rainesy
F: Morton Post/Gourdis/Hughes Nahas
McGuane/Bowden Silvester/Schulz/Moore King/Rainesy
It was really great seeing Polly involved in contact work although he never copped any heavy stuff. Most of the forward/defender work was more one-on-one with the forward leading up or out wide to mark the footy.
In the centre we had the rucks Simmo, Gus, Patto and Vickery from what we could see tap it out to various combinations of match-ups out of midfielders Jacko, Foley, Tuck, Lids, Cuz, Cogs, Whitey, Browny. It was a bit of a heart in mouth moment when Cuz was tackled awkwardly around the upper legs/hips while he was kicking the footy at full stretch but he was fine and he got the next clearance from the next ball-up. Whitey, Tucky, Foley and Cogs looked good. Richo of course is now part of the midfield group these days :thumbsup.
In the main the skills were fairly clean although there were some grubbers. I was told by a friend that in their first scratch match 2 weeks ago the skills were pretty same old ordinary but the scratch match last week was better. My only criticism today was we passed wide into the pockets a bit too much although Morton especially, Nahas and Hislop made the most of it getting their hands on the footy and kicking goals. Gus was putting one hand on the bag in the ruck. He won't be able to do that against an opponent's shoulder or he'll give away free kicks.
After the match simulation it was time for tackling drills under McRae's instruction. They got into pairs and threes and focussed on both pinning both arms as well as pinning one arm and dragging the player to the ground.
And that was it. Whitey, Gus, Morton, Cleve, Browny, Cuz and a few others stayed out longer with David King having nearest to the pin pot shots from the boundary. Clever was also going through his normal goalkicking practice routine.
Photos hopefully to come. Cheers.

Great stuff as usual MT. Was Cuz getting heaps of it in the match simulation drill? Did he stand out with his skills or were there others at his level?
-
Yep fantastic reporting yet again MT, thanks mate. I have seen the Tiges train last year on the Subi oval and then go out and wallop the Eagles by 77 points. We play that ground very very well and the way we trained on it was the way we played it. We also beat the Dockers there by about 54 points so Subi holds no fear for us. If anything it suits us.

Well done OE, just one thing though, since Gogs has been coming back everyone has says how much body mass he has lost. Well I really didn't think he had, I actually thought the boys around him had just bulked up. Now have a look at that picture with Richo leading them off the ground for drinks. Cogs is behind tuck and his biceps are just as big as they have always been. IMO.

oneeyed - In that pic of Cousins weaving through traffic, is that actually Cotchin he's up against in the #9?

Brilliant report & pics as usual MT & thanks cyclops for putting them up.
Quick update on Dan Connors..is he back in the group yet?
Also how is Shane Edwards progressing? He looks to be putting on a little size albeit slowly.
-
Great stuff as usual MT. Was Cuz getting heaps of it in the match simulation drill? Did he stand out with his skills or were there others at his level?
TT, Cuz got his fair share of the footy without dominating. They were all required to be attackers and defenders/minders (wearing blue singlets) at the stoppages so it wasn't technically a unrestricted short scratch match as such. Tomorrow will be when they are let free. As for Cuz's skills - spot on. Seriously his field kicking skills would put him clearly up near the top of our list so he does stand out in that regard apart from the obvious curiousity factor because he's a Tiger newbie. His goalkicking makes him look mortal though - he does miss now and then like everyone else. When Cuz finally gets his match fitness back up to 100% we won't be worrying about him hitting targets :thumbsup.

Connors - apparently he hurt his ankle again on Monday but he trained fully yesterday albeit with a slight limp.
Edwards - agree he does look like he has added some size across the shoulders although he is still slight. With Shane I feel he is one of those players you need to see in actual games before you can judge if he has improved. We know he is a good athlete as endurance was one of main reasons why he was drafted. It's whether in his 3rd year he is learning to be smarter using it to his advantage getting to contest after contest rather than just running around wasting energy.

Cogs is looking in good shape. Hopefully tomorrow and against Freo he shows he does have power back into his legs that Wallace believes Cogs has regained :pray.
You'll also notice from those photos that Joel is part of the forwards group now although he did play as a defender as well in the match simulation. Richo of course is now a midfielder :thumbsup.

Good on you MT great fedback.

Thanks again MT. :thumbsup

How's Simmo travelling? I've heard he's still got a bit of a niggle with his knee.

Yep Julz he's worn a support bandage around his knee for a while now but he still trains fully (doing as much as the other rucks do). We do though need Gus to step up this year :pray just to avoid an overreliance on Simmo.

At one stage today Simmo ran to position so swiftly I had to look twice to make sure it was him!

Training was at a coolish Vic Park today with even the occasional light rain falling (rain what's that :o). The squad was late arriving and didn't get onto the track until around 10.30pm so a few of us displayed our esquisite footy skills prior to the start of training to show how it's done :lol. They finished up just after midday.
In rehab was Petts who did a fair bit of running, Sugar, and of course Cotch although once again apart from some reflex handball with a trainer he mainly watched training before leaving. A supporter asked Trent when he'll be back and he said maybe round 1. Cogs was around the place in casuals.
As for training itself, apart from the usual light kicking and handballing stuff, the first main drill they worked on was some match simulation from stoppages and rebounding out of defence and then moving the ball up to the forwards. They had a rotation of 'teams' going so it was like watching two games inside each other. Cousins was pretty much rested for this and his only participation was to kick the ball into play to start the rebounding drills.
The forward/defender match-ups I can remember were as follows:
HF: Riewoldt Connors
HB: Schulz
F: Morton Hughes Post
Moore McGuane
HF: JON Nahas
HB: Rance King/Silvester
F: Gilligan Gourdis Patto
B: Moore McGuane
Richo, Hislop and the usual midfield suspects were in the midfield groups. It looked like Jacko, Edwards and Johnson were being used as taggers.
The other match simulation drill they worked on was the kick-ins. Especially what looked like kicking-in into a cluster zone. They had Newy, Lids and Jordie doing the kick-ins. Newy appeared the more successful as he can mix up the normal spot-up passes inside the defensive 50 with the long torps that go over the bulk of the cluster. You get into trouble when you short pass wide into the pocket and then are forced to switch across the last line of defence and back again. As Jordie found out it leads to a turnover because you can't outflank or break through the zone that way.
After finishing the match simulations drills the whole squad did some goalkicking on the run within the forward 50 at the Sherrin stand end of Vic Park.
Any questions just fire away :). Photos to come.
-
Thanks MT grat stuff mate. Cant really see how we coming over here with this supposed full squad.
-
Great report as always MT!
How did Post match up as a forward playing against McGuane?
What about Patto? Was he quick enough on the lead to trouble McGuane? Could he be remoulded as a forward?
I heard Laidley(sp?) on SEN this morning discussing kick-ins and how Hawthorn was very successful moving the ball out of defense using a different type of setup. He went onto state that North had studied the setup and was exploring its use as part of their game plan. I wonder if what you observed today was the Tigers attempt to emulate the Hawks kick in strategy... Newman is a beautiful kick who can pinpoint players at close range or load up and kick it long past a zone.
Interesting what you said about kicking to the pockets MT. We seemed woeful at clearing the oppositions defensive 50 at the start of the year but improved near the end. I hope we have learnt and refined our ball movement out of defense because with the new 'rushed behind' rule the pressure will continue to mount on our defenders which may result in more turn-overs in our defensive 50 and we all know what they turn into.
Cotch continues to worry me. Just can't see him returning anytime soon considering the amount of preseason training he has now missed. Round 1 just seems unrealistic to me.
How did Rance look? I'm hoping he gets a chance in the first early in the season. I would love to see him and Post find a spot in the team this year.
Once again thankyou MT for the great reports.

-
Yeah how did Rance go please MT, why has no one selected him to play in the NAB Cup??
-
How did Post match up as a forward playing against McGuane?
Points even although some of the balls coming in were hail marys which resulted in packs and defensive spoils by the 3rd man in. Postie still looks like a boy especially in the face so he may initially find his feet more as a tall rebounding backman while he bulks up.
What about Patto? Was he quick enough on the lead to trouble McGuane? Could he be remoulded as a forward?
Patto was playing high around 50m arc so he was pushing up and out to the wing to take a mark. His footpassing is still up and down.

We obviously see kick-ins as important too to spend a specific amount of time at training practising it but to me today it looked more like methods we used against Hawthorn's zone which we effectively dismantled in round 20 to win that game. I guess also it allows those acting as the defensive team to practice setting up and maintaining such a cluster. Wallace has publicly said late last year that we will be working on improving the defensive aspects of the team.

:thumbsup
Some here who aren't Newy's greatest fan may disagree though :lol

We still went to the pockets today when going deep into the forward line. It's not as though the marking forward ends up on the behind post having to kick bananas but it is getting out to beyond the centre "vee" corridor. We also would bring the ball down one wing and then the final pass inside 50 would go across to the opposite pocket where a forward was calling for it having lead from the goalsquare. If the ball movement was quick enough then this final pass would clear the backmen for a straightforward mark to the forward.
Cotch continues to worry me. Just can't see him returning anytime soon considering the amount of preseason training he has now missed. Round 1 just seems unrealistic to me.
The word today is a round 4 return.
How did Rance look? I'm hoping he gets a chance in the first early in the season. I would love to see him and Post find a spot in the team this year.
Solid again. I noticed today he was instructing the defenders when setting up so maybe another sign he is gaining more confidence. Probably why no one has him in their NAB Cup team because with Kel, Thursty and Lukey there aren't the backline spots open compared to other spots in the side. Maybe with Post training as a forward this week and 8 on the bench a spot may open up for Rance.
Speaking of confidence it was quite noticeable again today that the group as a whole is very vocal now when you think back to only a couple of years back when the criticism was we had an introverted group. A lot of credit goes to Jack. You can't shut him up. Everytime Newy had a kick-in you would hear "Chrisssssss Newmannnnnnn" lol.

Thanks for the reply MT and the photos OE.
Wonder what will eventuate if Hughes doesn't step up in the first part of the season regarding our FF position - do you think (judging from what you have seen) they would risk trying a Post, Putt ot Vickery in the position or just resort to Schulz?

Yeah how did Rance go please MT, why has no one selected him to play in the NAB Cup??

Where is Dan Connors at MT? Unfortunate that he's missing the trip to perth.

I know Connors re-injured his ankle at training a week or so ago but trained the following session two days later. He looked alright in the intraclub. Perhaps precautionary that he's not playing. That's the only thing I can think of :-\.

Probably right. Hopefully he gets another couple of games before the start of the season.

I don't think Sarge would be used as a full-time forward. He hasn't delivered consistently previously as a forward so he's probably not seen as a permanent solution otherwise he would be playing forward to begin with now. Polly would've been next in line but that's obviously not an option now. Patto is being used more as a forward at training but he doesn't have that acceleration on the lead needed to play FF. Someone out of the blue could be Bowden at FF (he's 188cm tall) as a temporary measure trying to buy time while Post, Vickery and Putt develop. It's a big ask to expect 18/19 year olds to carry a lot of the goalkicking on their shoulders.
-

This wouldn't be a bad option, you would think Bowden would get the respect of having one of the best defenders on him which would take some heat off our other forwards. Plus Bowden has the footy smarts to be able to snag a couple of goals every game you would think.
-
brilliant report MT ...
now some of my questions ... :rollin
1) why didn't Ben Cousins train?
my biggest concern is our forward line. i believe that you need a powerful forward line to be a threat in the AFL.
i know that we haven't got a "powerful" forward (reason why Hughes has pressure on him).
though, teams like Adelaide, Sydney (only Barry Hall), North Melbourne, Collingwood and to some degree Western have not got a "powerful forward".
though, they still manage to kick goals and play finals.
i truly believe Richmond's problem is our entry into the forward line.
we seem to not have a structure at all.
those five teams have a structure and any player can kick goals if the team follows the forward line plan.
i really really really believe that Richmond have better players that can kick more goals then any of those teams, but our problem is the entry into the forward line.
if we get that right, you will see players like ...
Nathan Brown kicking 40 + goals
Mitch Morton kicking 40 + goals
Jack Riewoldt playing as a tall foward kicking 40 + goals
Cleve Hughes playing at full foward kicking 40 + goals
and finally, Matthew Richardson kicking 40 + goals when rested on the forward line.
then you can have 20 + goals kicked by players like, Deledio, Tambling, Cousins, Cotchin, etc ...
we really do not need a 80 + goal kicker.
we have the talent to share it and work out plans for ever forward line player kicking 2-3 goals a match with someone kicking the odd 4-5-6 goals.
if you do the math on those totals, Richmond would be one of the most attacking team in the AFL.
and teams have to not only stop one player ... but three or four.
what frastrates me the most, is that our forward line has no room to move.
we are slow kicking it down there.
we are a lot more dangerous having Hughes, Riewoldt, Brown and Morton in the fifty one-on-one then just bombing it down and hoping Cleve or Jack can take a screamer 15 times a match!
the teams that play finals have space in their forward line.
obviously teams "get back", which i know. :)
so my question to you MT is ...
2) have you seen any forward entry so fair that you have noticed. who kicked it? and who marked it?
3) when do we find out the "26" players off to Fremantle?
Pre-Season is now over. (i believe)
we are now playing matches even if they are not "the real deal"
MT ...
4) who are your Top 5 '08 - '09 Pre-Season performers? for what reason?
-

the teams that play finals have space in their forward line.
But Torch surely you have seen some improvement in that area with the transition from the Bowden "run" out of defence to the more direct fast run of Jordan McMahon. He was put there to deliver the ball out of defence in an attacking way and that is what he has been doing, of course he is under the gun for being unaccountable and a turnover merchant but to a certain extent that is caused by the attacking defensive role he is given.
-
I don't think Sarge would be used as a full-time forward. He hasn't delivered consistently previously as a forward so he's probably not seen as a permanent solution otherwise he would be playing forward to begin with
I don't see Jay as a permanent FF either but I do see him switching between HB & HF when matchups require during the game.
Schulz is much fitter than he was 2/3 years ago and he's one of the more physical types we have.
I think he provides much more of a contest on many levels than Hughes.
When not utilised in a defensive role, IMO Sarge still offers us something up front as a marking tall.
He should be used out at CHF in tandem with Riewoldt with Richo drifting forward from a wing.
He is a beautiful kick of the footy and carries the ball as well as anyone in the side on the run, if Jay's progression keeps up, over time he may even fill Richo's current link role on the wing.
-
Yeah how did Rance go please MT, why has no one selected him to play in the NAB Cup??
Terry, Jade and Wyane all said (at Club 80) that he would get his chance in subsequent NAB games, be they regional or the Cup itself if we win.
Cheers Beren, geezus torch they are massive questions man, poor MT... ;)

1) why didn't Ben Cousins train?
Cuz trained but he just didn't do everything. I'm guessing it was a lighter training day for him. Normally the older guys get a session off here and there compared to the others to keep them fresh. There's no injury or anything as he was kicking and running fine.
i truly believe Richmond's problem is our entry into the forward line.
we seem to not have a structure at all.
those five teams have a structure and any player can kick goals if the team follows the forward line plan.
i really really really believe that Richmond have better players that can kick more goals then any of those teams, but our problem is the entry into the forward line.

if you do the math on those totals, Richmond would be one of the most attacking team in the AFL.
so my question to you MT is ...
2) have you seen any forward entry so fair that you have noticed. who kicked it? and who marked it?
We did finish 2008 as the 5th highest scoring side but I agree we can improve the way we enter the forward 50. IMO we need more options across HF leading up and at the kicker. Players who are reliable long goalkickers from 50m are valuable. Jack is doing this now out of the young cubs but the others need to as well instead of leading out into the space around the pockets and away from the kicker. I'm hoping as the other young talls bulk up and gain confidence at AFL level they will straighten us up more. Of course you also need mids who can take the edge off the pace of their kick so those that are leading up can mark it. There's no needs to kick hard bullet passes to teammates 25-30m away who have 5m on their direct opponent. It's February so the skill level at training is still shall we say "rusty". We look very good and move the ball quickly when we hit our targets. It's when there's an unforced error that a whole play can be stuffed up. Even if we maintain possession every missed target slows you down.
3) when do we find out the "26" players off to Fremantle?
See the Squad for Freo game thread.
4) who are your Top 5 '08 - '09 Pre-Season performers? for what reason?
Tough one.
Whitey - just looks incredibly fit and ready to go up a notch.
Rainesy - just like Matty he looks fit. I hope he's found new tricks though.
Richo - superfreak
Jacko - still like Rainesy has to prove himself in actual matches but has trained hard and very well over summer.
Edwards - his intraclub effort has bumped up his ranking in my eyes.
Jack - I know it's six lol but just couldn't leave him out. Infectious enthusiasm.

Richo - superfreak
Superfreak ... Superfreak ... He's super freaky!!! LOL.

Superfreak ... Superfreak ... He's super freaky!!! LOL.
Thank you Grand Master Funky Richo ;D

Training today was at a warm Vic Park today. It started around 11am and went to about 12.30. We found a convenient spot to watch the session where you can hear everything but more on that later.
In rehab were Cotch (left early again), Patto and Petts from what I saw. A friend said she spoke to Cotch on Friday and he told her he's improving. He had no support on the ankle or achillies when she spoke to him. Cotch didn't mention a return date. Round 4 is what she's heard. From what I saw everyone else trained although Richo only trained for the first couple of drills while and Newy and Sugar didn't join in the last drill.
Onto training and the first drill they were doing when I arrived had the squad split into two with small groups running and linking up via handball while "defenders" with tackle bags tried to bump them and force errors. After Sunday it was great to see more handball lol.
The whole squad then moved into the centre of the ground for a chat with the coaches and then got into the next drill which was to work on hitting up a leading target by foot. Basically we had players running through the centre and then drilling 40-50m passes to forwards leading out from the square. A few sloppy kicks that ended up at the feet but obviously the coaches also saw that our entries inside 50 on Sunday weren't enough and up to scratch.
The rucks - Simmo, Putt, Gus, Vickery and Browne - by this stage had split from the main group and were working on body positioning in ruck and marking contests with Rawlings and Monkhurst. Simmo shows his experience in these situations although the young guys like Browne showed they have good hands. As I mentioned in the player photo thread Vickery can leap higher than most players and certainly got off the ground more than Monky lol. Poor Gus had the marking yips today with the yellow footy. He was the last off the training track because he didn't leave until he started hanging onto his marks. Thursty and JON later joined them with Thursty acting as a close defender on Simmo and Gus when practising their marking on the lead. Simmo said it better having someone to compete with while Thursty said this sort of practice helps with his timing.
Back to the main squad and after another chat in the centre of the ground they added run and carry to the previous drill of hitting up leading targets in the forward. Starting from CHB a player would to someone in the centre of the ground and then run on to receive the handball and then fire a 50m pass to the leading forward. These drills really show up who has the best skills with Cuz and Lids the standouts. Out of the newbies Gilligan was very clean with is disposal. They stood out to be honest as nearly every attempted run involved at least one skill error (mostly errors were kicks landing at the shoelaces). Schulz yelled out "F---" when Jacko's pass missed him. Jay then missed the goal :wallywink and a friend said he missed it because he was still peeed off about the pass lol. One run had 4 errors out of 5 disposals including the forward missing the goal :-\. Hopefully just February rustiness.
Midway through the players had to do a lap around the boundary before getting back into it. I heard Plough from our handy viewing spot tell Jordie to lift his training performance (which he did as on his next run he hit all his targets). Connors must have broken a team rule because Terry told him off - "it's about the team not just you" and Daniel then ran a lap around the boundary back to the exit and we didn't see him again. Mind you at the end of this drill the squad thinned out to what looked like most of those who played on Sunday plus Cousins, Vickery, JON and Thursty. I'm guessing they could come into the squad against Collingwood. The coaches were pretty happy with how the boys executed the drill at the end of it.
The final drill was just the usual mark, run and kick. They then finished off with some goalkicking. Cuz did the whole session. Ch 10 news tonight claimed "he's flying". We'll see how he goes in a week's time.
Any questions just fire away. Photos to come.

Brilliant reports as ever MT. Cannot underestimate how much they are appreciated. :)
Thursty and JON later joined them with Thursty acting as a close defender on Simmo and Gus when practising their marking on the lead. Simmo said it better having someone to compete with while Thursty said this sort of practice helps with his timing.
How is Thursty looking?
Has he bulked up noticeably? Recent pics of him I have seen show a boy who's become the man over the summer.\
Schulz yelled out "F---" when Jacko's pass missed him. Jay then missed the goal
Sarge had better start to get it together if he wants to be on the list in '10.
Others are closing fast and he's just about out of time.
This comes from me a big fan and supporter of his over time.
Connors must have broken a team rule because Terry told him off - "it's about the team not just you" and Daniel then ran a lap around the boundary back to the exit and we didn't see him again.
Dan's another of Jay's type. A heap of talent just needs to focus it better.
I really hope he can make big strides this year.
Is he a chance to play this week you think?
Cuz did the whole session. Ch 10 news tonight claimed "he's flying". We'll see how he goes in a week's time. .
Rehardless of how Cuz goes for us this year it's hard not to get excited by his Y&B debut.

Ta for the kind words Magic :cheers
How is Thursty looking?

Thursty does look a bit bigger in the shoulders. Check out pic 7.
Dan's another of Jay's type. A heap of talent just needs to focus it better.
I really hope he can make big strides this year.
Is he a chance to play this week you think?
I hope so but he doesn't want to go annoying the coach :-\.
A friend said to Daniel the other day she's expecting big things from him. He replied he's expecting big things from himself too.
-
thanks for the update and pixs gents
any word on young Rance is he a chance to play v the pies ?
-
Fantastic as usual MT, really can't thank you enough for these reports. Was Cogs anyware to be seen??
-
Oops I forgot about Cogs WAT. Nah he wasn't there yesterday. Probably another week or two away with the knee.
any word on young Rance is he a chance to play v the pies ?
Like Connors I hope Rance plays too but neither were in that main group towards the end of training which composed of mainly those who played on the weekend plus Thursty, Jordie, JON, Cousins and Vickery. Sugar was still around too at that stage. It looks like the INs will come from those 5 or 6.
-
Cheers MT, I would like to see Rance play, lets hope they are going to give him a go at some stage.

Good on you OE... :thumbsup

Training today was at a sunny Vic Park. A bit different today as they had a normal open session from 11am for half an hour with the media making up half the crowd. Then at 11:30 it was closed session time and they (John Vickery) threw everyone out that they didn't know ;D. Of course OER's reporters were allowed to stay and watch the last hour of training :thumbsup.
In rehab today were:
Cotch - only did a bit of boxing and a few snaps from the boundary at goal. Pretty funny at the end when Richo had about 3 goes near the point post and just missed them all before Cotch has just one go and squeezes it through the middle.
Cogs - had a stretch bandage around his right knee. He did a few laps around the boundary.
Cleve - was also in rehab and did laps with Cogs.
Patto - same as Cleve.
Petts - trained with the main group for the first time for the first 30 minutes then joined the boxing in the rehab group.
Polak - likewise trained with the main group initially before sitting out the scratch match and joining the rehab group.
I don't remember noticing Thursty today but I might have just missed him in the pack.
As for training itself, the open session was a pretty much stock standard kick, mark, handball drill. The media were mainly taking snaps of Cuz.
I can't really say too much about the closed session except to say they played a short 10 minute each way scratch match and we were wondering what was so secret about what they were doing lol. It didn't look any different from a gameplan point of view. Perhaps a couple of positional moves with the younger guys although anyone here on OER would guess where they played anyway. The younger guys based on today won't be shielded away from key positions. Richo will remain on the wing, Cuz in the midfield, Rance at CHB, and Vickery and Simmo swapping between forward/ruck.
The skill level by foot on the whole was a marketed improvement on last week. A couple of turnovers but most kicks hit their target and some of the longer footpassing was impressive at times. The goalkicking could still improve with Richo missing a goal on the run from 30m out and yelling out "F---" at the top of his voice lol.
Lids was the standout IMO. Brought his own footy and used it well through the midfield. His goalkicking was on song too today. Threading the eye of the needle :o.
Cuz played in the midfield and got one clearance which I mentioned in the other thread when he gained possession from the tap, dished it off and then ran forward to be near the contest when Simmo marked up forward on the lead. I think that means he's ready to go ;).
I kept an eye on JON as I knew he was playing on Thursday and apart from one kick into the space in the forward pocket that missed everyone, he hit every target in general play. Played both across HB and HF.
They finished off with some in close handball and snap shots at goal. a few misses (LOL @ Gus kicking around his body and not making the distance :wallywink) but Morton showed how it's done.
Any questions fire away. No photos this time as I arrived about 10 minutes before they threw everyone out and I wasn't sure if we were allowed to take photos during the closed session and I didn't want ot be thrown out lol.
-
I forgot to add that Schulz almost cleaned up Richo in a pack marking contest in the goalsquare. Richo got up gingerly but he's okay. A force of habit those two collide at least once every game :P.

Here's some Herald-Sun footage of training plus Plough chatting to the media:

Thanks MT. :)
How did Connors train? Do you expect he will play?
-
Robbo headed down to training too today and talks about Richmond with Jon Ralph:

Robbo really like the look of Vickery. Tall as Monkhurst (but not as fat lol) and athletic. Said Vickers looks a likely type.
Lids is a jet.
Browny looks fit and ready for a big year.
Joel looks a lot slimmer and fitter to him although a trainer said he's still at the same weight. Pressure on Joel to start the season well unlike last year which resulted in him getting dropped.
Robbo expects Cuz to play 70% of the game maybe on a wing and Pies to play someone young on him like Cook to learn from Cuz.
-
Great going yet again MT, how about Collins, how is he going??
-
Collo played in the midfield WAT and got a couple of possessions once the play broke out into the open. He wasn't too influential on the play. Interesting to see if he gets more of a run this week or gets dropped to run around with Coburg.
Thanks MT. :)
How did Connors train? Do you expect he will play?
He did the whole session which was good to see. I didn't pay too much attention to him sorry. He must have been either playing across HB/HF at the other end of the ground in the scratch match as I didn't see him up our end or at the centre bounces in the midfield.
Not sure if he'll play Magic. I would prefer Daniel to play than Kingy but out of the nine changes we could come up with it was hard to find room for him given what we were told. I guess if he doesn't play on Thursday he'll come into the side the following week. I believe he played in a Coburg intraclub match on Saturday (no news on how he went sorry). Coburg have their first practice match for the year on Saturday at Gosch's Paddock so if we don't see him on Thursday he should be playing Saturday.
-
Thanks MT, it would be goo to see him get a real go imo.
-
Thanks MT.
-

Thanks for the report MT, as always very insightful.
Lets hope JON has a decent game on Thursday night, seems like a genuine, decent kid and it might shut up some of the impatient posters who expect him to develop at the same rate as Lids.

Just love these two commenting on how "bored" they are with the Ben Cousins hype. Pot, kettle etc et al.

He is a genuine and decent person who will freely talk to supporters but if we're being honest he hasn't actually done much even at Coburg to win supporters over that he can play. His decision making out on the park has been poor and his kicking has been hit and miss. Plough told us at training in JON's second year that we had to wait 4 years to judge him. Well 4 years has arrived and he needs to start showing he can play at AFL level otherwise he'll be cut just as Meyer was last year. Our list is gaining depth and others younger than him (JON's now 21) will pass him by if he doesn't get a move on. Footy is a tough business.

There are 40 odd players on our list and he would be in the bottom 3 or 4. Right now, that is the most relevant rating of his standing in the football community - not his draft pick.
I'm quite sure your summary is pretty much what both coach and player would've have already discussed at seasons end last year.
If he makes it, fantastic for him and the club - if not, well he has had a fair crack at it and good luck to him. :thumbsup

Agree with all that Y&B. And he won't be the first top 10 pick that hasn't made it. The Club at least seems to have got it right with their first rounders since - Jack, Cotch and Vickers. A sign of more and better recruiting resources in the last couple of years.

Not good signs for JoN I don't think Wallace has much faith tbh.

Well if he didn't then TW should've delisted him and kept Meyer or taken an extra pick in the draft for Nahas. They didn't hesitate with Casserley who was picked up in the same draft so we can't argue that 3 years is not long enough to make the call.
TW must sees something, lets hope it is the same thing he saw in Tucky all those years ago....
Anyway, all will be revealed this year. I'd love him just to pop up and show us some magic mr (pardon the pun) if just to make the natives behind the keyboard a bit edgy!!!

Contracts can have say in who goes or stays. I can't remember but JON may have been contracted till 2009 so he couldn't be delisted unless we paid him out. Meyer on the other hand was out of contract so he was chopped. This situation happened previously with Rodan going yet Krakouer staying one year longer. More likely it is just that Terry was/is willing to give JON 4 years as that is what he told us.
-
Casserley was paid out. I reckon the coach would want JON - he would cost nix to pay out.
-
I got along to training again today. A fine but mostly overcast conditions with the sun making only a brief appearance. It was a closed session so once again OER's reporters had exclusive access :thumbsup. Sorry no photos though.
In rehab today were Cogs, Patto, Cleve, Sugar and Cotch. Petts trained for most of the session and only stepped out during the game-based drills. Cotch is still just making a short appearance at the start before disappearing again without doing much apart from chatting to the staff. Sugar did the same thing later on. Cleve just watched on for most of the session (he's out due to a foot injury and was wearing a moonboot a few days ago a friend told me). Cogs and Patto did some 200m runs plus some kick to kick. Hopefully Cogs is not far away.
Apart from the usual handballing and kicking drills, most of the session was based on game-based drills and pleasingly working on areas we stuffed in last Thursday night. The first game-based drill was a mini scratch match where the team in white had to rebound and attack through the midfield zone of the other team in green singlets. As we've seen in most of the preseason games the side with the ball goes wide and indirect to try and outflank the zone. Even Terry afterwards admitted it's not pretty when my friend asked him if she had to put up watching this rubbish all year :lol. Plough said you can't just kick directly up the centre as the midfield zone is in the way and means the ball comes back the other way just as quick over your head as we saw today when there was a turnover. I told Plough just to make sure the boys bloody kicked straight and he agreed it cost us the game as you don't win games kicking 5.15. Fortunately in this drill most of the shots inside 50 went between the two big sticks even from shots on a wide angle. Royal was inside the forward 50 as a guide for the forwards to lead within the "vee" rather than towards the boundary unless the kick itself went wide.
The next drill was goalkicking on the run and from snaps. 5 cones were set up about 30-40m out from the Sherrin Stand goals on different angles and groups of players had shots from each of the 5 cones. On two of the cones Royal and David King would tap the ball down and our smalls like Nahas, Morton, Gilligan and Whitey would have quick snaps. Obviously we want to improve the number of crumbing snap goals.
That was about for most of the squad. I noticed Jack stayed out there longer practising his set shots directly in front. Hopefully he's learnt to stick to a routine as far as number of steps in the run-up etc.
Any questions fire away.
-
Great stuff MT. A couple of questions.
1. Where do you expect JON to play against the Saints and how did he train in the scratch match today?
2. From what you've seen at training, is Gilligan likely to be a better FP or BP? Where have they been playing him in the scratch matches?
3. Is Tambling dominating these intra-club scratch matches like he has in previous years? If so, what is missing in terms of him translating this to games against real opposition?
-
1. Where do you expect JON to play against the Saints and how did he train in the scratch match today?
Across HB or at least behind the ball based on training today. Actually he was quite good today. Hit most of his targets by foot and ran and overlapped.
2. From what you've seen at training, is Gilligan likely to be a better FP or BP? Where have they been playing him in the scratch matches?
At the moment I would say they are grooming him as a FP. I haven't seem them use him as BP from memory. I actually thought he was playing on Friday night but I must have got my wires crossed.
3. Is Tambling dominating these intra-club scratch matches like he has in previous years? If so, what is missing in terms of him translating this to games against real opposition?
Belief in himself.
He did this great perfectly weighted 50m pass today from the centre to the advantage and down the throat of the leading forward (I think it was Schulz). Rarely seen him kick that far let alone with that precision in the real game. The same as on Thursday night when he ran to 50 and then kicked short sideways instead of taking the responsibility to nail the long goal. He's got to believe in himself and take ownership of his game instead of going into a shell. It's been said he has that belief and confidence playing against players he's familiar with (such as in intraclub matches) but that it's not always there against other sides. Ritchie needs to belief in himself 100% of the time out there.
-
Great report again MT just two questions from me mate; one, how did Polak go I noticed he has been named for the Saints game? Two, is there any way based on what you saw today that we could possibly replicate the poo we dished up last Thursday Night??
-
Great report again MT just two questions from me mate;
one, how did Polak go I noticed he has been named for the Saints game?
Polly didn't standout but he was moving as well as the others. If you hadn't known he had been in an accident and coma just 8 months ago you wouldn't have noticed any difference from the rest of his teammates training. In an article the other day they said he got through the Coburg game well.
Two, is there any way based on what you saw today that we could possibly replicate the poo we dished up last Thursday Night??
Sadly yes :help lol although our goalkicking was much better.
-
I forgot to mention that a friend said that on Monday they trained for 2 hours and did heaps of tackling practice. McRae was in charge of it apparently and after watching them for a while where they mistackled like last Thursday night he stepped in and was jumping and stomping literally telling them this is how you tackle. After that blast they were quite good. Foley and Lids did more tackling practice with McRae today after main training finished.
-
......Two, is there any way based on what you saw today that we could possibly replicate the poo we dished up last Thursday Night??
Funny how many are saying we were absolute crap last week yet only 2 things cost us the game against a team widely being touted as Top 4 - physical conditioning and goal kicking accuracy - and both of these things will correct themselves as the season proper commences. Has anyone noticed almost EVERY team making the same skill errors in the PRACTICE matches - gotta be something in that don't you think?

I cant understand that either, we were in it for three quarters and in the last quarter when we were done we rested a number of our prime players if memory serves correct. I am sure if we had kicked straight and were still in it at the end of the third quarter, the fourth quarter would have been played much differently.

Although the pathetic goalkicking cost us a game we should have actually won (yep we turned off in the last quarter), the overuse of handball, indirectness of play and the unforced turnovers is why people are saying we played crap. Mind you they are saying that about most sides in the preseason thanks to the zoning and stupid new rules. As long as it's all tidied up by the time the real stuff comes along then no one will remember let alone care about what happened in a glorified preseason practice match.

Training today was at Vic Park. Quite a warm day once the sun came out. It was officially a closed session with a board by the locked gates saying so but OER reporters were allowed to sit in and watch the roughly 2 hour session :thumbsup.
In the rehab group today were:
Cotch - still not running and just watched why kicking the footy to himself.
Sugar - likewise just watched the session from the boundary.
Petts, Cogs, Cleve and Patto joined in with the main group for the usual handball and kicking drills but once the game-based drills started they stepped out. Cogs and Cleve did some jogging kick-to-kick with a trainer. Cogs then joined Patto and they plenty of hard running around the boundary line for the rest of the session.
I didn't notice Silvester out there but I may have missed seeing him.
Connors was absent with his broken finger as mentioned in the other thread.
Apart from the scratch match the rucks - Simmo, Gus, Putty, Vickers, Browne - and Gourdis worked on contested marking and leaping marking from behind and across the front of the pack with Monkhurst. Without Gourdis they also did the usual ruck practice.
After the main squad had done their usual handball and kicking drills, the main purpose of the session was to work on and fine-tune game-based scenarios - rebounding, work at stoppages, and zoning (both implementing it defensively and attacking against it). A scratch match was also played although it wasn't a proper game as such as it seemed to be more about getting the yellows (team most likely for round 1) ready. The coaching staff would intervene during it to work on different aspects of the gameplan. For example the yellows would kick a goal yet the other side (blue-singlets) got to kick it in as if a point was scored so the yellows could work on their kick-in zoning. Another time they restarted with a throw-in in the forward 50. The blue-tops did plenty of zone set-ups. Plenty of yelling orchestring where teammates needed to stand and fill space. Cambo was instructing both sides how to free up a teammate once they got forward of centre.
From memory the teams and match-ups were:
F: Morton Schulz (Yellows)
B: Polo King
HF: Browny Riewoldt Bowden
HB: Rance
R: Simmo
Gus/Browne
C: Tuck, Lids, Cuz, Jacko, White
Foley, Thomson, Edwards, Post, Gilligan
Wing: Richo
Putt
HB: McMahon McGaune Newman
HF: Tambling Polak Hislop
B: Raines Moore Thursty
F: Nahas Gourdis Vickery
JON?, Collins?
Tuck - BOG today. Got a heap of it at the stoppages and through the midfield.
Cuz - Just makes it look so easy and was running all over the place without probs. He played both in the guts and on a HFF. Edwards was his match-up in the forward line. You've got to love Cuz's blind turns to spin out of a tight situation and out into space. The look on Putty's face was priceless at one stage :lol.
Lids - got plenty of it also. At one stage got a clearance and then pushed forward into the goalsquare to mark and goal.
Richo was Richo. Started on the wing, took a mark in defence and then pushed forward to nail a great pack mark against 3-4 opponents :clapping.
Browny also got his hands on the footy. I notice I'm mentioning our main guns but they were very good today.
Looking at the team if seems Wallace and the match committee have settled on their back six with Raines making up that "6th" spot. Newy was the general off half-back. Got a heap of it and pushed to wing and half-forward line at times as he usually does.
Post appears to be being groomed for Richo midfield role. Basically played as a midfielder. Didn't get a lot of it but did some nice change of directions with his decision making that impressed the coaching staff. Hislop had something mentioned to him about switching the play and the next time he got ball and followed the instruction Cambo gave him a wrap. David King's voice is hard to miss btw lol. Jade Rawlings turned up on crutches. Not sure what was wrong.
After the scratch match, the blue-singlets headed off and the yellow side plus Foley, Tambling, Rance, Browne and Gus (side for Carrara) stayed on and did the more rebounding drills with the assistant coaches acting as nuisances to pick off any errant kicks which were good to see few and far between today. Interestingly the side was flip-flopped at times with the rebounding sometimes starting with the forwards and going both ways so everyone was linking up with run and carry.
I try to be as balanced as I can for a Tigers supporter and not look through rose coloured glasses at training but overall I have to say this was one of the most positive training sessions I've watched and walked away afterwards from. Very hard to find fault with them today as they trained hard and more importantly their intensity, skills and decision making were all very good. They were switched on today. I'll feel quietly confident about round 1 if today's training is the standard we set and deliver on March 26.
Any questions just fire away :cheers.
-
I got in today also MT and I was again impressed by young collins playing midfield in the scratch match. He is being groomed as a long term ruck rover.
Silvester did train today.
-
Another thing I will mention is how delighted I am over our young Rucks. Browne and Vickery in particular.

Agree CT. Short-term our ruck stocks are still an issue (too reliant on Simmo) but long-term I'm feeling more confident our ruck division will be a strength once the cubs develop and bulk up in their 20s. We knew Vickery has talent but Browne is the surprise packet for mine. Interesting to see how he goes up at Carrara. A good game in the ruck won't do his rookie promotion prospects any harm.
-
Thanks guys. I'm at half mast already after reading that and the game is still two weeks away. ;D
Can't wait for the 26th of March.
-
Good to hear the guns are hitting their stride.
Damn shame about Cotch & Connors though.. :(
We're a few down but it's been a damn sight worse.

Wow he's just a baby.
Goes to show you never can tell with ruckmen. Their development follows a very unpredictable path.
At least we're finally utilising the rookie list to unearth these big guys.

If it isn't too much to type out what does it say wayne?
At least we're finally utilising the rookie list to unearth these big guys.
Agree Magic. What the rookie list should be for as big guys take longer to develop. When you think about it 2 of our 3 key defenders are from our rookie list. In fact McMahon is our only top 35 pick in our starting back 6. All the rest were either late picks or rookies - McGaune 36, Newy 53, Raines 76?, Moore (r) and Thursty (r). Rance of course will change that in time being pick 18.

Browne was one of the TAC Cup's leading ruckmen in 2008, performing well not only in the ruck contest but also around the ground. He averaged 13 hitouts per game and maintained an elite hitout-to-advantage rate, and also won his fair share of the ball with an average of 14 disposals per game. He took more contested marks than any TAC Cup ruckman, pushed forward to boot 17 goals and also read the play well when dropping back in defence to average two marks from opposition kicks.

A pretty impressive wrap. Basically everything a recruiter would want from a ruckman.
-
Sounds like a premiership ruckman after that write up.
Move over Dean Cox. ;D
Ta Wayne!

Well done again MT and thank you. I noticed you said it looks like the back six are settled, did you mean: Moore, Thursty, Sanchez, Newman, McGuane & Rance?? If so I hope so it looks pretty good down there now.
-
the knock on browne was his capacity to cover ground (atleast at reasonable pace).

Put Raines instead of Rance.
B: Rainesy Moore Thursty
HB: Newy McGuane Jordie
That's the starting six.
-
Just hope Raines can be less predictable this year, stop freezing in the headlights and being run down. This is what turned him from coming 2nd in the Rising Star competition to a liability.... For mine Rance is a far better prospect. Sorry to be a downer... :(

After watching tonight's game you are so right Stripes. Raines was serviceable without standing out but much of the same old. Rance showed that with another year under his belt he will be very good and he has the build to be more versatile than Raines.

Anyone go today? Any reports? Axel?????

Ch 7 showed a quick shot of Cousins training and said he's pulled up well after the Brisbane game and is ready to play a full game against the Blues in round 1 :thumbsup.
No mention of Foley.

I went to training today but didn't see Axel at all
Of note.
Kane Johnston sat and watch training, I didnt see him doing any training!
Connors and Thompson ran laps
Vickery had to rest at the end but was training well enough
Cotchin has has ankle foot iced up
Hislop left the track early
Petts moved reasonably well by had a slight limp
Cogs was the best result of the day for me as he looked sharp and participated in the full training sesion from what I could see.
Tambling was sharp by foot
Patto looked good
In summary, the boys looked sharp with their skills and were all look marathon fit.
-
Cheers for the report Camboon :thumbsup :cheers.
I went along to training today too. All the media were there when I arrived so there should be footage of training the newses tonight. They all had left after half an hour.
It was good to see Cogs back into full training. I think Coburg have an intraclub this weekend so hopefully we can get permission for Cogs to play so he has a quicker chance of getting back into the senor side eventually.
Cleve also did most of training except for a short while where he went down to the Yarra Falls end goals with a couple of trainers/coaches and did some pick-up and snaps at goal. It looked like they were testing out his second efforts and ground skills which a lack of is a criticism of Cleve.
I didn't see Polly as well as Axel. Foley they are resting up all week as mentioned in the other thread.
Connors was running 400m reps around the boundary with a bandage covering over the break in his finger. I don't know why Thommo was only doing laps.
Vickery didn't do a lot of the training with his busted lip.
Gourdis trained mostly so he must fine after the concussion he copped against Willy. He also did some running alongside Richo towards the end of training.
As for actual training it was pretty much similar to last week - drills of in-close handball and kick to kick footpassing on the run followed by more game-based drills as we fine tune and build up towards round 1. Another good session and one that makes me quietly optimistic especially with hearing Foley is okay.

How does Gourdis' body shape compare with Richo's?

Gourdis is a solid boy but Richo is bigger (taller too). Only Simmo and Bam Bam (Andrew Browne) would be the same if not bigger than Richo but of course without Richo's super athleticism.

Hi MT, thanks for that , you covered a all the bits I missed with interest.
PS: all of a sudden we seem to have a bit of height about us - On average heights, Patto looked smaller
In addition I liked the bullet passes Patto did in the drills.
(That was me with the tall bloke sitting in the stand )
-
Thanks for the reports guys, not sure how I feel going into this game, really undecided at the moment.
-

A nice change from previous years to finally have plenty of height on our list albeit still young. One more big key forward would top it off.
Camboon you are right about Blingers footskills today. Apart from one missed target he was nailing a number of long penetrating passes from the centre to inside 50 amongst traffic. Let's hope he can now do that during the games.
-
Yes lets hope MT, lets hope he does not get stage fright, we really need this kid to stand up this year. GO RICHIE!!! :thumbsup

Cheers MT, Geez I hope Tambling takes it up a notch this year.

Well done Camboon on your report. Better to have 2 sets of eyes out their giving us the inside word than just the one (even though the one is usually extremely comprehensive hey MT! :thumbsup).
Best news for me was Tamblings skills and Cogs training. Wonder if he will get a gig sooner or later..???
Great to hear Foley is expected to play also.

Spot on Stripes about the more reports the better. Great stuff Camboon :thumbsup.
Cogs looked fine out there yesterday Stripes. Fortunately he only missed a couple of weeks now so he still has the bulk of the preseason behind him as preparation for the season ahead and he'll be right to play starting at Coburg when the season starts.

Yep it's a closed session. The RFC site says no open to the public training sessions this week.

lol. Sounds like MT is no longer "the General Public".
You'll probably find he's been hired by Sheeds as part of the great RFC membership and propaganda machine.

I headed down to training this morning to watch the final session before the game on Thursday night. They trained for just under 2 hours. It was a closed session so I can't go too much into specific details but they trained well.
In rehab:
Cotch - when we arrived he having a kick with the others in the warm-up before spending most of the session on the far side of the ground to us doing plenty of running. 100m and 200m.
Connors - still is waiting for his broken finger/hand to heal so he's limited to running as well to keep his fitness up until the finger comes good.
Thommo and Petts - joined in the handball and kicking drills but then ran laps while the game based drills were on.
Vickery also did the handball and kicking but that was about it.
Patto - was around the place early on but I didn't notice him after that.
Sugar - he looked to have done most of the training from what we saw. Not too sure how far away he is though.
Cogs - trained for most of the session then did laps. He's fine. Hopefully he plays for Coburg this weekend.
We appear to have no one "out" for a lengthy period (not that we want that). Virtually everyone in rehab is in the recovery phase of the rehab. Probably Cotch is the longest away from playing and that's round 3-4. Let's hope we have some good fortune as far no serious injuries.
As for training itself after the usual handball and kicking drills the game based drills they focussed on were run and carry and linking up from the backline to the forwards. I have to say apart from literally a couple of mistakes the skills were on today both by hand and especially by foot. Hopefully they take that training form into the game.
McRae then spent some time taking them through tackling drills. Not only one-on-one "watch the hips" but also working together to stop the opposition receiver if the first opponent gets a handball off or the ball spills and it's play on.
After that they split into two teams and had a mini scratch match. Poor Collo had the match-up on Richo lol. Lids, Tuck and Jordie were the standouts for mine. They worked on a number of specific things. Nothing out of the ordinary really but not for public consumption. At least not until after Thursday.
Throughout the whole session the coaches emphasized that this was the last preseason training session and there is only 2 days to go so keep the intensity up high which they did.
They then finished off with some goalkicking on the run. Geez I hope we keep straight this week :pray. Jack brought out the party tricks where he flicked the ball on the outside of the right foot through for a goal.
Towards the end of training Post, Silvester, Cogs, JON and Gilligan were doing laps. Speaking of party tricks, at the end of his last lap Alroy finished off with somersaults and flips which were impressive. He then kicked a goal and did a backwards somersault. He had the shirt off too. He should be in the NFL ;D.
After main training had finished the squad of 25 split from the rest and Terry had a long chat with them in a huddle. Cambo then took the midfielders and rucks Simmo and Browne for some more centrebounce work.
And that was it. Now for the real stuff :gotigers.
-
Great stuff MT you have done it again and without divulging any specific information........ I bet that was hard. I can tell YOU are pumped mate and good on you.
Great to hear most of the the rehab group are going well in particular Cogs, don't you just wish he did not miss those three weeks, he would be up and running by now and more than likely in the team.
How did you find Browne and did we evevate him from the rookie list I haven't heard??
-
For a closed session u managed to see alot MT.
Fantastic report. :thumbsup
That's what I want to see on Thursday. Intencity. Beat the Blues to a pulp and put them to the sword early on to lay the foundations to a win something we failed to do in the Centennary Game last year when we were on top. :pray
-
Never mind MT just read on the AFL page Browne elevated..... go big fella.... ;D
-
I can tell YOU are pumped mate and good on you.
Just a touch :lol. I think we all are. Hopefully we still are at 10:30pm on Thursday.
-
Yeah well I won't be posting until either late on Thursday night or early Friday morning because of the delayed telecast, cant do the radio, get too nervous because I cant see whats going on.... :whistle

Hey MT how did Foley train today mate, please?
Axel didn't dominate or anything but he was moving around as good as new. It looked like he must have been okay already for a few days as there were no noticeable signs of his ankle sprain. He's right to go :thumbsup.

MT, thanks for all the reports over summer, you've given us all a great feel as to how we are going for the season proper.
One query, overall how would you compare this pre season to last year?
Our skills, tackling and general training intensity - in your opinion has there been a step change forward?
Or is it similar?

Or is it similar?
I think our overall skill level is improving slowly but there's still a way to go as we know. I know Cousins is flavour of the month since he came to Richmond but his ability to consistently hit targets and kick to advantage of his leading teammate still stands out. So I guess the rest of the squad needs to raise the bar again as far as not making unforced errors when there's no physical pressure. Having said that I think the past two or so training sessions the skill and intensity level has been good and if we bring that level to Thursday night I'll be quietly confident. McRae has been adding more tackling drills so hopefully that starts to have some effect to lift us up from last in tackling.
The one really noticeable change maybe not from last year as much but definitely from say 2 years ago is the vocalness of the group. Training use to be fairly quiet as players went through their drills but now there's a lot of noise during drills and our more extrovert players are pumping up the squad.
-
The Tigers had a short light session this arvo at Gosch's paddock. Everyone got through so we'll go into the game as named. Ch 10 showed Cuz having some snaps at goal and Kelli Underwood said he looked terrific. Terry said Cuz will start on the ground and is ready to go. He also had to tell the media if they had any questions other than about Cuz.

Haha...they were a bit concerned it would turn into a public demonstration session. Or maybe they just canned training completely. They train their ass off and still play like crap so they might as well not bother training as it couldn't get any worse.

Cotch running and continuing his way back :pray is the main news out of training anyway. The rest of the team can only prove themselves and regain some respect on the weekend.

Training today was at Vic Park this morning from 11am to about 12.30pm. Pretty warm day for April too. Steven Wright and Francis Jackson were both there watching.
In rehab were Cotch and Sugar from what I saw. No sign of Cuz or Raines. I didn't notice Gourdis out there either. Sugar once again didn't do anything but watch which explains why he is now on the LTIL. Cotch did more running today. He looked like he was limping at one stage but Francis said he's just got ice on his ankle and he was running and kicking the footy on Tuesday so he's coming good. Blingers only did about 1/2 to 3/4 of the session and did some handball, kicking and marking along the boundary. I think he's fine though. Foley went to a trainer midway through the session about his sprained ankle and sort some treatment but he returned about 5-10 minutes to main training so he's thankfully okay.
As for training itself they did the usual handball and kicking drills before spliting into two teams and having mini scratch matches to work on gameplan matters. Closed session so I can't say anything specific although applying pressure was mentioned more than once or twice by the coaching staff. There were also still the occasional reminder of the horrors of last Thursday night in terms of lazy footskills and lack of shepherding so the proof will be on Saturday. It felt like Hislop's training session at some points as "Tommy" was yelled out a hundred times thoughtout the scratch matches....."Good Tommy", "make him be accountable to you Tommy", "Tommy that was a great kick", etc lol. As for the scratch matches I thought Tucky was best and in everything both inside and spreading out to receive the footy. Rance looked good too using his height and agility. Browny and Lids didn't miss one target. It was good to see Connors back into full training as well. Francis rates him highly.
I've heard the club has organised a special extra boxing group for the younger guys to help boost their physicality and having the confidence in using it. They got some guy in who sounded like he wasn't just into boxing but also martial arts. Anyway he had Putty in the ring with him, then turned his back to Putty and told him to try as hard as he could to choke him. As you've probably guessed this guy got out of the situation fairly easily. He then reversed roles and poor Putty "struggled" apparently lol. It's not quite running up sandhills like the old days is it :eyebrow

I actually seen 20 minutes of that today.
If they dish that crap up on saturday, they will get slaughtered
They trained terrible

Are you really that surprised Jack?
instead of starting the drill again they probably just continued on as if nothing happened.

Foley went to a trainer midway through the session about his sprained ankle and sort some treatment but he returned about 5-10 minutes to main training so he's thankfully okay.
I wondered about this and his disposal last Thursday. I know his disposal is not up there with the best but usually it is better than avergae and miles in front of his last game.
I think a strapped or needled ankle may have affected his disposal, I'm not even too sure if his injured ankle is his kicking leg but even if it is the support leg having an injury on that one can affect disposal.

SEN saying Cousins ran some light laps again this morning at training. He's expected back in round 5.

WP said something similar to what you said Chucky during the game last week. That's what it seemed like given Axel made 9 clangers all up :-\. Still if you cross the line you are classing yourself as 100%.

foley has had a history of suspect and bad disposal, it is just a miracle that no one has exposed this til now, but you watch his clanger count mount up this year. im not a big fan of mcmahon, but foley makes more clangers than macca but because he has a loved reputation it gets unnoticed
even tivendale made less kicking errors than foley

You are the one having a go at Foley over his clanger count, it's actually very common for inside midfielders to have a low disposal efficiency. It's why McMahon had the highest disposal efficiency in the AFL last year during the season despite his massive clangers, because he is an outside player and he always has time to dispose of the ball. Foley is predominantly in the guts in congestion and is disposing in traffic or getting tackled as he disposes of the ball. This was never about comparing Judd & Foley as players, simply explaining why things are the way they are.

Okay no worries comparing the 2 of them and their kicking effieciently is laughable.
Judd is a gun. Number 1 at contested footy in the business and Foley has shown nothing lets be honest. Ive seen Foley rtack up the clanger count and there was not an opposition in sight.
he is not our worst by any means

no one but rfc rate foley and the longer he plays the more and more his bad disposal will be evident
the only thing foley is good at is winning the ball, but what is the point of winning the ball if you are handing straight to the opposition
opposition teams let foley win the ball, because he rarely rarely hurts teams

Gday MT,
I know you will anyway, but can you have a good look at Thomson and Collins at the next training sesion.
I would also be keen on how Cogs is moving and your thoughts on who might get the gig out of Angus or Browneeee for the next match based on the way things go at the session ( body laugauge - training drills etc).

Will do camboon when I get down there next. I think Gus will keep his spot in the side this week as his around the ground work was better than Browne's was.
-
MT i know you are good, but posting a response to a training question at 2.30am...man you are GOOD and dedicated.!!!
Somewhere else i read that Browne gets to position better than Gus ie naturally goes back to fill the hole in defence after competing at the centre square...do you see that in his game?
Also, i know you go to heaps of training sessions, but did you pick that Browne would debut in round one ie. could you see this kid had something or did he just play 2 blinders in the nab games to get his promotion and debut?
-
Training today was at Gosch's paddock this arvo. Pretty much a waste of time as they hardly did anything. The session would have gone for only 45 minutes tops. I'm guessing they are still sore from the Geelong game as Richo said last night he was glad they had a nine day break to recover and not a six.
The main group started on the second oval next to Swan St but after about 30 mins most headed off back to Punt Rd while a small group peeled off to do laps around the main playing oval. That group was Jacko who blitzed the rest, Bowden, Hislop, Gus, Connors, Tucky, Foley, JON, Cleve and Gilligan.
Blingers was still in rehab with Petts so he must be doubtful to play on Monday.
I arrived a bit late but I was told Cotch was training but as I said they didn't do much so he probably could join in where he is at. A friend of a friend saw Cuz walking back to Punt Rd with a tall trainer.
Collins and Whitey were one of last to leave having a kick to kick.
That's about it. A bit hard to comment on Cogs, Collins and Thommo based on today as they did so little training but they all were moving fine from what I saw.
-
Somewhere else i read that Browne gets to position better than Gus ie naturally goes back to fill the hole in defence after competing at the centre square...do you see that in his game?
Yep and he showed that in the preseason games. Unfortunately he didn't do it in round 1 which is why he was replaced by Gus. Long-term I think BrownE will become our No.1 ruckman but that could be 5 or so years away as rucks take time to develop. He's still only 18. The weekend games proved a big ruckman is priceless and still very important to any side.
Also, i know you go to heaps of training sessions, but did you pick that Browne would debut in round one ie. could you see this kid had something or did he just play 2 blinders in the nab games to get his promotion and debut?
I thought with a week or two out before round 1 that he might be a chance as Gus was struggling with his marking and Patto was injured. But really it was a mate of mine from training who became a big BrownE fan from early on in preseason and said in December after we drafted BrownE in the rookie draft that he has the size already to play round 1 as second ruck. So he deserves the credit for being spot on.
-
Thanks MT, your da man
MMM, I think you gave me a little hint - the boys get real keen and leave training last if they think they have a chance.
Good to see some competition in the ruck anyway and I agree about Gus doing more around the ground. The big fellows must run hard to position if they want a spot. Cox is still the benchmark and I think Hill and possibly Jolly are close behind.
I also loved the way Maric shepherded last week for Adelaide, thought he was being beaten in the ruck by St Kilda but had the heart to run down the wing to protect a running player. We need that attitude and fitness level form out ruckmen. Patto would do it but I am not sure if he will play as 2nd ruck in the future, I see him playing like Drew Petrie!

Any news MT? Given Monday's game, when do they train?

Any news MT? Given Monday's game, when do they train?
They trained yesterday morning and I think they'll train tomorrow morning at Vic Park (closed session) plus a short loosener Saturday morning. I couldn't make it yesterday and it would've been a light session anyway just two days after a game. It looked that way on the news last night. Cotch was just chatting to Plough. They said Cuz and Raines did some light training in the paper this morning.

according to sen, cuz and cotch both trained extremely well :thumbsup

I went down to Punt Rd today. It was a light "skills" session so they didn't do much apart from a bit of kicking and handball as though they were having a kick in the park. So not much to report on what they did. The team from Sunday did most of the session separate from those who played for Coburg.
As for rehab Schulz has two bandages on him. A compression/stretch bandage around his right knee which he's had for a while plus another heavier white bandage around his lower right leg. A friend I sit with at training said Sarge collided with the goalpost during the Coburg game so maybe it's related to that but I don't know.
Petts trained but after training as he headed towards the pool he had a clear limp. Apparently copped a knock to his knee while playing in the Coburg ressies.
Sugar was in rehab but didn't do anything other than a bit of handball from what I saw.
Browny had some groin problem prior to the Melbourne game and didn't train at all last Friday. Why play him if he was carrying an injury? ???
Thursty's arm had a bandage on it and no plaster so he just copped a knock to it.
Cotch trained but still for precautionary reasons he had what looked like ice bandages around both knees and his right ankle as he headed for the pool after training.
Rainesy and Cuz trained fully and looked right to go in the VFL this week.
Foley missed due to being sick which is why Richo spoke to the media instead.
-
Thanks MT.
Incidentally, is the light 'skill' session something that the other clubs do too - to your knowledge? I would have thought after Sunday's debacle that a harder session was in order...maybe i am old fashioned. I have read your views on what they do and dont do at training and find it bemusing that with all of Rome burning down around them, they only do a light 'skills' session. I understand that it is just 2 days after a match, but when do they do their 'hard' training session, given we play North on Sat night i believe? Surely it cant be Friday's session.
-
Thats why Richmond get flogged they play injured players. they will never learn

The first training session of the week is usually light as their bodies are still sore from the game two days before. The main session is the closed session midweek where they train for 2 hours. They then have another short session the morning of the day before. The days of punishing the playing group the morning after the game to make up for a poor effort are long gone.
-

Simmo is another one btw with his knee.
Connors is underdone having missed a large chuck of the preseason and has only played a couple of games at Coburg in recent weeks before getting the call-up.
-
Thanks MT,
Do any of the kids look like they could be close?
How's Patto looking? Is Jon the real deal and is Cogs fast enough to step up
-
Do any of the kids look like they could be close?
Probably more mature players such as Cogs, Patto and Thomson are more likely than our teenagers at Coburg. The likes of Vickery and Post aren't ready yet for AFL footy but do you give them a debut knowing they'll at least try and be grateful for the opportunity while at the same time enabling you to drop underperforming senior players?
One of my friends said he spoke to John Vickery (Ty's dad) about playing this year and apparently he's quite happy for Ty to develop at Coburg until he's big enough in the body to contest at AFL level especially in the ruck. Another friend said just play him up forward to give the side some structure and someone tall to kick to. I didn't see Coburg on the weekend but apparently we had 4 talls up forward - Schulz, Patto, Vickery and Gourdis - and Geelong's VFL side really struggled against it. Compare that to Richmond where we had Browny at FF until Richo was eventually moved there so we could actually generate a score.
How's Patto looking? Is Jon the real deal and is Cogs fast enough to step up
I think Patto will come in this week and play up forward. Maybe pinch-hit in the ruck although he's struggled as a ruckman in the past in terms of winning hitouts.
Cogs must be very close but going by news reports he'll be playing alongside Cotchin and Cousins this week at Coburg. We won't know fully about Cogs until he makes his AFL comeback. Is he now too slow for AFL after two knees and OP? Let's hope not :pray.
I'm not a JON the footballer fan (one of the nicest blokes mind you) but his form as a lead-up HFF for Coburg must make him close to getting a game for Richmond with the senior side so out of form. At least it will show one way or another if there's any point keeping him past this year.

Thanks for the information MT. It will be interesting to see if they play both Patto and Schulz in the forwardline this week given the poor form of our forwards last week. I'm still not sure Patto has the pace to be a great forward but at least he could bring the ball to ground for our crumbers (as long as they remain in the side that is).
Having Cotch, Cogs and Cousins playing for the Burgers this week will make for a big crowd. I suspect Cotch may still need more time.
Interesting times at Tigerland.... :whistle

He is the spark we so desperately crave in our side.
The match winner we desire our Petts is.
stuff Coburg just bring him straight into the seniors.

40 touches our petts got in the Burger ressies. his found his new home he can stay there until he gets 30+ in the seniors

Ch 10 news said Richo didn't train and neither did Browny although they showed vision of him looking glum while having a kick off one step.

I think Petts will play for Richmond before the seasons out, may still have something to offer i think.
Has shown some reasonable touch in his first two matches back for Coburg.
-

I guessing it would be similar to scratch matches at training. A mixture of mid/HF to rack up that many possies even at 3rds level.

I popped into Punt Rd today to watch training. Another light skills session so it was more about seeing who was out there training.
Richo didn't train again although he was out on the oval. He had a white training singlet different from the others and we only noticed him as he ran off and up the race. He looked free in his gallop.
Sugar wasn't there.
edit: Rainesy was out there.
In rehab were Browny, Thommo, Hislop, Nahas and Collo. I think apart from Browny with is groin injury the rest must have been just sore.
Cogs trained fully so he's pulled up well after his first game back :thumbsup.
Cotch and Cuz both trained fully with the main squad so both should be playing for Coburg on Saturday. If they get through don't be surprised if both line-up for Richmond against Brisbane.
A friend spoke to Tucky and Tucky said Simmo is too good for VFL level. Maybe a clue if there's any changes this week (ie. if Richo doesn't come up). I'm guessing they are thinking of rotating 3 rucks against Jolly and resting one up forward as a long target on the small SCG.
Rohan Connolly interviewed Terry after training so expect an article soon in the Age. He asked Plough if he was relieved the media gun had moved off him and onto someone else and over his 5 years at Richmond was the past month the toughest in terms of scrutiny. Terry said he doesn't like seeing any coach under the pump as we all know the feeling and he hopes we keep winning so the spotlight doesn't come back onto us.
-
Thanks MT - much appreciated.
What do you think the possible ins and outs will be based on today's light training?
Also whats the story with Collins...just sore or injured?
-

Nahas has a corky and also his groins are playing up again but he should play this week...
As usual, thanks for the report MT.
-
Cheers for that Goohuc. Yeah I heard Nahas was sore (re: groin) yesterday.
Thanks MT - much appreciated.

Collo didn't have any noticeable problem (no bandages or taping) so it must have been just soreness. He should be fine by Sunday.
As for changes I think there'll only be a change if Richo misses. That would mean a tall to come in. Do you go with Schulz who has been good at Coburg yet has failed previously at AFL level? or do you go with Simmo and rotate 3 rucks with probably Patto spending more time up forward? As I said in the other thread I've got a feeling Simmo may come in for Richo if the big fella doesn't come up.
-
I agree with you MT - Simmo to come in if Richo doesnt come up.
Simmo gives a bigger body at ruck contests against Jolly ...frees Patto to play a Richo role on the wing and sliding up to the forward line...which he did a little of last weekend when Richo went down.

Yep Con that sounds like the plan if Richo misses. CHFs are bypassed on the SCG so Patto up forward to take a key defender and at least provide a contest for a long kick inside 50. Have Nahas and our other small forwards front and square and crumb goals that aren't marked as well as to keep the ball in our forward line. The Swans love to get numbers back and then run it out via their numbers around stoppages and contests. We need our forwards to provide plenty of forward pressure to hinder their rebound.
-
MT this isnt the right thread for this but last week's game was the first time in ages that I thought we had some sort of defensive pressure from our forwards...
I know you go to training...have they been working on that at training? Most other teams seem to have this down pat...we seem to be a little late getting to the plate...In a way they needed to find the small forward who is a dynamo tackler ala Rioli...and seem to have found that in Nahas who will only get better the more game time he has...I fear we need another though...one small forward isnt enough...

I haven't been able to get to a closed session for a couple of weeks where you notice if there's been any recent change. Today was a public session which are usually just light skill sessions. I know we drafted Nahas to improve our forward pressure and Terry mentions regularly during the preseason that we needed to improve our defensive pressure but I can't say I noticed much change during the preseason. We've had Richo, Newy and Cogs come out in the past week saying we have altered/simplified our gameplan and structures and gone back to more one-on-one footy so perhaps there has been more of a focus on pressuring the opposition. Obviously our workrate increased dramatically against North which is probably the main change from the first 4 rounds. Apart from the first 5 minutes it was a 4 quarter team effort.
-
Ch 10 news showed poor Browny copping one in the crown jewels at training today which would've done his groin injury the world of good lol.

Ch 10 news said Richo didn't train again today during our "closed" training session at Punt Rd.
we assume he didnt train, but we also know that barry hall is in doubt and may not play as he didnt train either
Richo you would think is in lesser doubt than Hall. Richo at least played last week so missing training isn't that big a deal whereas Hall hasn't played or trained in weeks. The Swannies have got 196cm tall Barlow as an emergency after being dropped so they must still be unsure.
-
That's interesting because according to Dmactiger he's OK and trained well.

All 3 emergencies played for Coburg so Richo must be okay

They trained early today as far as I know. I was hoping they were still going by the time I went past Punt Rd this morning but they had all finished up and gone. I'm guessing with a six day break training would be light this week to keep the team fresh and make sure all soreness from the Swans game has gone.

I will let you off then MT... ;)

Cousins trains lightly ahead of comeback
May 8, 2009 - 11:17AM
Ben Cousins has trained lightly ahead of his AFL return for Richmond, with coach Terry Wallace declaring him "100 per cent and fighting fit" to play Brisbane at the MCG on Saturday.
Cousins trained for only part of a short session on Friday, doing some light running before leaving the field to consult with club medical staff.
The Tigers' much-vaunted signing has played just once for his new side in the home and away season - his troublesome hamstring giving way during their heavy round one loss to Carlton in March.
But he starred in a reserves hitout last weekend to earn a call-up for the Tigers' clash with Brisbane.
Cousins, forward Nathan Brown and ruckman Troy Simmonds have all been recalled for the match.
Wallace said Brown, who had a groin problem, was also ready to play as was Simmonds, who had been dropped to the reserves to find form after a poor start to the season.
"All three are 100 per cent and fighting fit. They'll have a little bit of a runaround this morning and we'll go in with the medical staff and make sure we tick them off," Wallace said on Friday.
Richmond have won just once this season, while the Lions have a 3-3 win-loss record and are coming off a solid victory over Essendon at the Gabba last weekend.

Huh? Didn't think Simmo was injured as he has been playing in the twos for the last two weeks. Why would the medical staff need to tick him off? Is Terry starting to get a bit dizzy from the spin?

Simmo has been carrying that knee problem for ages now although still no excuse for him dropping straightforward marks in the first few rounds :P.

I popped down to Punt Rd this morning to watch training. I didn't see Terry so all the assistant coaches took training. It was only a light session so they didn't do much other than a bit of kick to kick and handball then a few shots at goal at the end. Yesterday they did more game-based and circle work I was told. The mids such as Foley, White, Jacko, Tucky and Collo did some tackling practice as well today whereas the rucks Simmo, Gus, Vickery and Browne trained with Monkhurst. I got there 30mins after the start and so I was told a few guys I didn't see out there had left early. Browny left early again and he was in rehab yesterday so he may miss again. Cotch was in rehab with Rance but he trained fully yesterday so apparently he's okay. From memory they said they are being cautious with him and he's only doing one full session a week. Cuz left the track early being an oldie so no dramas. We saw him head over to the social club afterwards for lunch with the others. Richo of course was absent after his operation. I didn't see Joel, Hislop, Gourdis or Connors but like I said I may have just missed them. I didn't notice Sugar training but he was in his training gear when he was signing autographs in the race.

Thanks MT, is it unusual the coach is NOT at training?
-
Hello Mighty Tiges,
I'm just writing to clarify that Hislop and Gourdis were definitely on the track today, as they both walked up the race at the end of the session. We were so busy yakking that I guess you missed them. Also, Sugar spent a fair bit of time chatting to Alex Rance, who looks like he may be auditioning for a stint in a possibly upcoming production of the Elephant Man :lol

One thing I like about Malthouse is that you regularly see him getting hands on at training. Holding a bumping pad or throwing balls at players.

Ch 7 showed a snippet of us training today at Footy Park. They showed Browny and Cuz of course running around. Terry said there's so much been said about him and the team that there's nothing new to be said and you just get on with the job.

Hi Mighty Tigers. We didn't see you at training today. I even brought you a copy of the Melbourne Times and everything. Never mind. Here's my report anyway. Yes, Terry was there. Not so much media today.They did a bit of end to end work, a bit of goalkicking, handballing, and tackling drills wearing those padded tackling guernseys.The group seemed pretty bouyant and upbeat after such a week of often ridiculous media scrutiny. Fair bit of voice out there. At one point three little kids in Tiger guernseys of about 7 or 8 joined the group in goalkicking practice. They each had a shot, and when they managed to dribble a goal through, the whole group cheered loudly and made a fuss of them, hoisting them onto their shoulders. Parents took photo's. I guess it was a good PR exercise after being under siege all week. There were 28 players on the track, so I guess that was the squad. In numerical order the squad was:
Thursfield, Deledio, Raines,Simmonds,Brown,Riewoldt,Cotchin,Edwards,Bowden,Polo,Pettifer,
McGuane,Newman,Rance (yes), Morton,Tuck,Jackson,Coughlan,Pattison,Tambling,Thomson,White,Nahas,
Connors,Moore,Foley,Collins, and Graham.
Of those, Angus only ran laps, so he must be considered a doubtful starter. Johnson put in an appearance.Alroy Gilligan was also on the track, and was being encouraged in his goalkicking practice by Lids and one or two others. This led to a bit of speculation that he might be a smokey to come off the rookie list for the Dreamtime game. Joan asked one of her "sources" ;) about this as they came off the track. But he quickly hosed down any such speculation.

There was a closed training session today a Vic Park. They must have let the media in for the first 30 minutes before kicking them out lol.
Wallace and all assistant coaches were present.

Hi One-Eyed,
I rocked up at Punt Road at 11:05 today, to be told by some fans that it'd been transferred to Vic Park and was a closed session. I motored down there on foot, but by the time I got there at 11:35, they were finishing up. Joan said her goodbyes to Terry, and he gave his old adversary an affectionate peck on the cheek. It was kind of a sad day. Might see you at Punt Road tomorrow.
-
Excellent E thanks mate, gee Post looks the goods doesn't he! Good size, I would love to see him in action.

She kept telling Plough and Miller that we lacked height and size on our list but they didn't listen until it was too late (last two drafts).
-
Training today was a fairly quite session probably because we have a 6 day break. No sign of Terry or Royal so the other assistants took charge. As mentioned in the team changes thread the team from last week along with Thomson, Rance, JON, Jordie and Cogs trained. Sugar and Gilligan came out afterwards to do some handball. Sugar trained yesterday I was told. Kingy was running laps after everyone had gone in.

Nice to see Alroy being advised
-
I went along to training today. It was a pretty light skills session. Bit of media there as always. Apart from a short handballing drill, the players lined up and took turns at trying to lob footy's into a wheelie bin from about 40 metres. A couple of soccer balls were also brought out.
With speculation that Natanui will debut for the Weagles this week, I reckon now would be the perfect time for Vickery to get a game and let them go head to head in the ruck.

With Rawlings' first session they were probably trying to change things up at training and lighten the mood. They did this sort of thing during the preseason. Today is the main midweek session where you would notice any immediate changes to the way we'll play under Jade.
Cheers for the report RR :). The real question is did anyone hit the wheelie bin target from 40m away?
-
While all other clubs train their guts out even after wins ;D we train our players lightly cause most of them would breakdown under hard training. Thats says it all in development of a fit side & a even stupid coach.
Richmond uses bins & buses while the Saints use thier players as targets. go figure what method works better ;D
-
I definitely got the impression that the wheelie bin shootout was just meant to be a bit of a morale boosting exercise in a part of the week that's normally reserved for a light skills/recovery session anyway.
Hopefully I'll be able to report from their main session that they were slamming each other into the ground in gruelling tackling drills, and tearing up trees ;)
Incidentally, about half a dozen shots hit the bin, but nobody actually got it in. :lol

I would think that the first major job is for Jade to repair any fractures in the playing group.
The season is shot, get the boys bonding, get their morale up. Get them playing as a team and working for each other.
-
Wayne what you have said that sounds like the right thing to do.
-
Don't we think bonding and morale would have been covered off at the start of the season?? Regardless of what has happened they are there to play and win games of football not bond mid year and play with wheelie bins. If this crap persists they may as well pull up stumps all together for the season.

Just a brief report as I got this secondhand but I was told Browny, Sarge and Simmo didn't train yesterday. Whitey may be back this week but via Coburg.

McRae said Schulz is still struggling with a foot injury. They must have finally decided to rest him.

I went to training at Vic Park yesterday.Josh Free was training with the boys. At the end of the session he came up to the fence to chat to some fans,so I was able to get a good look at him. He's very small, shorter than his dad I'd say,though not slight in stature. He also had a nice old shiner and a few stitches in his forehead, so I guess it's safe to assume that he doesn't mind mixing it.
-
Oh yeah, I just remembered. At one point the group were all huddled in the middle and broke into applause. That can only mean they were either watching the Michael Jackson memorial on a portable TV, or somebody else is going to debut. Thomson maybe???
-
Yep Thommo for Foley sounds likely

You may be able to get in as sometimes the first 30 mins is 'open' but John Vickery (Ty's dad) might kick you out when it becomes a 'closed' session if you can't convince him you're just a keen Tigers man and not a spy lol. The next open session is Saturday morning, 10am at Punt Rd.

I'm only 20 years old. I certainly don't look like a spy. :)
Is tomorrow's at 10 or 11?

I finally got down to training after missing the last couple of weeks. This morning it was a closed session at Vic Park that went for a couple of hours although I got there late as I thought it was at Punt Rd initially.
I can't say much about what they did for obvious reasons but it was the first time that I got a proper chance to compare training under Jade to that under Plough. I was told they did heaps of handball on Tuesday so that's no different :P and today there was still the run and carry by hand but the one thing that stood out for mine is players weren't deterred from kicking to a long contest if need be. A friend of mine that watches training regularly said there's also been a couple of different training drills.
The enthusiasm is still high despite the year we've had. They had a goalkicking comp. between two teams today you got a point if the ball through the middle even if it bounced off the inside of the post. Jack was one who hit the post :-\ but it went in. Cleve was the only one who was doing serious repetitious goalkicking practice. I was told he is getting better as far as the "issue" he's had and that is showing up in his recent improved form at Coburg which is good news :). Richo and Browny were having a face-off pinging shots from the boundary. It was fairly quiet apart from the usual banta until Richo yelled out "oh yeah" as one ball left his boot and then he ran around like a crazed man as it snuck through telling everyone "how good was that one" :lol. He should have taped it for the footy show when they tease him about his goalkicking.
In rehab this week were Simmo, Richo, Kel, Axel (with limp :-\ ), Blingers, Collo, Connors.
-
I take it Jay Schulz will play for Coburg if he wasn't with the rehab group this week?

Oops I knew I forgot someone. I don't remember Sarge being out there but I may have just missed him as I arrived 30mins late.

Is Bling playing with an injury?

Is Bling playing with an injury?
Richie didn't train with the main squad. He only did today some 100m runs along the boundary. Not sure if there's anything wrong that will prevent him from playing or they are just giving him a light week as precaution. If there's an injury they should rest him. No point risking him with the season shot.
Cuz only partly trained as well but that's more likely because he's over 30.
-
The plot thickens :shh He has been our best this season...perhaps a rest is in order regardless :whistle
How does players like Thomson, Putt, Gourdis and Gilligan look at training? Are they any chance, given their comparitive training form, for a game this year?

Goo, Putt and Gilly are still playing VFL ressies. I'm not sure what they are going to do with Goo at the end of the year. He's project type so he could be kept on or after 2 years they might cut him. His kicking is still a major issue IMO even at training. Putty is still too raw and needs to fill out. Gilly is too young and only in his first year so he's got time on his side. As for Thomo, I'm probably the wrong person to ask as I didn't and still don't believe we should have recruited him. I believe at 22 he's just a State league player beit VFL or SANFL. At Port Thomo was a fringe player who couldn't get a game in a bottom 4 side crying out at the time for a inside mid. His kicking was ordinary which is why he handballed twice as much as he kicked. I'm not sure what we saw in him to cough up a decent pick. At 22 a traded player should walk into your side especially ours. The excuse was he was picked up to protect Foley. A bit hard to offer protection playing in the VFL :-\. Anyway nothing much we can do about it now except not repeat the same mistake.
-
Sounds like we need to get Putt on the powder and into the Gym for 6 months and forget the skills training for a time just to ensure he has the size to fit his height. He will be useless in the ruck or forwardline if he outmuscled every time.
Gourdis is another 'cut our losses' type IMO. He has been 'developing' for 2 years without even cementing a spot in the Burger seniors let alone claiming a place in the AFL. Obviously his kicking is terrible and is not improving and as a KPP this is a huge weakness. In fact if you can't kick in AFL footy you shouldn't be playing.
Which brings me too your favourite trade MT - Thommo! ;) I still have hope for Thommo. From what I have seen he attacks the ball at every opportunity, he is a great clearance player and strong around the packs but yes, he has no confidence in his kicking. Like you MT, it worries me that he has not even played one game for the side when similiar player-types like Foley, Collins and White have all been injuried at different times this year. He needs a developmental coach working religiously with his on his foot execution to build up his skills and confidence in this area over the preseason or next year will be his last.
Still love to see Gilligan make a cameo appearance this year to give him a sniff
As always MT thanks for being our eyes and ears on the training track. Best training reporters in Melbourne! :thumbsup

Sounds like we need to get Putt on the powder and into the Gym for 6 months and forget the skills training for a time just to ensure he has the size to fit his height. He will be useless in the ruck or forwardline if he outmuscled every time.
Putt and Edwards can get a joint membership at that gym please

Cleve was the only one who was doing serious repetitious goalkicking practice. I was told he is getting better as far as the "issue" he's had and that is showing up in his recent improved form at Coburg which is good news :).
I think as Polak improves, so will Cleve

In fairness to Thommo he had some weird sternum/rib injury that plagued him this year but at 22 I can't see Thommo's kicking improving up to the level required. IIRC studies have shown you can only improve someone's kicking by at most 5% by the time they reach an AFL list. A good solid instinctive kicking technique has to be formed when you're a kid IMO given the coordination involved.
Speaking of junior development just to go off on a complete tangent, I met some bloke today whose 11 year old son is in Casey's developmental program. Whether it's an AFL initiative or not I'm not sure but they seem to be grooming kids from much earlier ages these days in preparation for the big time. You'd expect in 10-15 years the skills of even the average AFL footballer will be incredible. A bit like what European soccer has gone through where now you need elite footskills to play with the big rich clubs.

In Melbourne for the week, so dropped into Punt Road this morning to get a dose of the winter chills. Got more than my fair share of chills when I saw Jordie out training with the seniors.
Cuz and Cotch didn't join in with the rest of the squad, they just sort of stood over to one side and watched what was going on. Cotch left the ground quite early on and then again later in the session with a physio. Cuz was out there the whole time, but didn't do any of the drills.
Petts and Richo joined in some the exercises, which were mostly handballing and some circle work (with pretend shepherding), but when there was some serious kicking drills, they went over to the outer wing and did run throughs.
Both Cambo and Jade were involved in taking the training session and Jade gave the boys a couple a short pep talks.
Towards the end, Gus and Vickery went off with Cambo for some overhead marking practice. Whitey was kicking some up and unders and Gus and Vickery were taking turns to mark the ball while Cambo interfered from behind with what looked like a padded baseball bat. He'd hit them on the head and shoulders from behind as they were taking the catch. It was quite funny to watch.
As neither Cotch nor Cuz did any running, it was hard to guess if either would miss the game tomorrow.
One thing that I did notice was that Lids looked quite happy out there. He was laughing and joking around a fair bit, but when they did some goal kicking practice he got pretty serious in a hurry, and his kicking was heads and shoulders better than anyone else out there. He didn't look like a player who was discontent with contract negotiations.
Training only lasted about 40 minutes and there wasn't much for an inexperienced eye to see.

Great report Muscles :thumbsup :cheers
Hopefully with Jordie they are just keeping a 23rd man aside as precaution and there's no late change :-\. Did Tambling train fully today Muscles?
which were mostly handballing and some circle work (with pretend shepherding)
That's the gameplan according to some of our senior players :lol
-
Bling was one of the last out onto the ground at the start of training, MT. He spent a lot longer than most warming up. He looked a little sore when he started, but as he warmed up he was moving freely and then joined in full training.
Edit: .... Jacko looked like he was a little worried with some sort of a calf .... He had a physio massage it out but it didn't stop him from doing the full session.

I went down to training this morning at Vic Park.
In the rehab group were Silvester (knee), Gourdis (right hammy), Hughes (wrist), Foley (ankle), Schulz (who was hobbling), Connors (not sure what's wrong), Nahas and Jack. It looked like they were just giving Jack and Robin a light week. Foley goes under the knife shortly. JON trained for the first half of the session then sat out the rest. Petts wasn't there of course with his busted kneecap.
Kel, Collo and Simmo were back in full training. As I said in the other thread Richo got through fine. Browny trained as well. Hislop had his shoulder strapped but trained fully. He wrestled Newy and Cotch but when Cotch wanted to go again he said he couldn't with his shoulder. Tommy then quipped to Cotch 'I'd beat you even with a sore shoulder'.
I can't say much about training itself as it was a closed session. Rawlings was encouraging them to share the ball around and it was basically continuing on from the way we played against Essendon.
So all up Silvester will probably miss. Kel or Rance you'd expect to replace him. You couldn't tell if there'll be any other changes or who all the ins will be.

McRae in the EOTT said its a hamstring strain.
-
if u notice the footage right at the end of the bomvbers game u see jack pull up real sore, i think he may have tweeked a groin, maybe thats why he was in the rehab group
-
Ta guys. Jack appeared to be moving fine compared to the others so hopefully it was just a minor tweek and he is okay now.

Tiger training will be suspended this week due to the Tigers not losing a game for 3 weeks straight :gotigers
everyone is in shock so please excuse them ;D

I went down to training at Vic Park this morning. A few photographers there, which was surprising for a closed session.Post was in the rehab group, but apparently he trained fully on Tuesday so maybe we shouldn't read too much into it. Cotchin was in the rehab group too, along with Gourdis and Andy Collins.
It was a pretty short session, with a bit of end to end competitive stuff, followed by some goalkicking practice. They were trying to slot bananas from the boundary line into a howling wind that was so strong it was wobbling the goalposts around.
Schulz said he was playing for Coburg this week.

Training today was at Punt Rd this morning. The last session in Melbourne as the final training session is in Perth on Thursday.
A pretty light session (for most of them) as they only trained for 30 mins and a few guys were missing.
We spoke to the head physio and he said Thursty's shoulder will be fine. He may still need an op on his AC but his injury isn't too dissimilar to Sarge's a few years ago and he's had no problems since. Newy said he'll be fine although he was still not 100%. Jacko (ankle) and Edwards (eye) trained fully. I was late to training so I didn't see Cuz but he was out there signing autographs. Ch 10 said he didn't train but apparently he'll still play on Friday night because he wants to against his old club at Subi. Foley also came out to sign some autographs. He's just got off his crutches although he's still hobbling.
Those I saw training today were - Rainesy, Simmo, Polly, Jack, Edwards, McMahon, Polo, McGuane, Newy, Rance, Putt, Morton, Tuck, JON, Jacko, Cogs, Hislop, Vickery, Tambo, Thomson, Gourdis, White, Silvester, Post, Nahas, Connors, Moore, Browne, Gus, Gilly and King.
As I said most had a light session. King and Hislop were given a faair workout sprinting back and forth along a line of the centre square. They were both totally stuffed coming off. Poor Hislop struggled to get the lid off the texter when asked for an autograph and the kid had to do it for him :lol. A lesson in not getting yourself suspended.
We asked Cogs and Rainesy if they were playing this week and both didn't know. They didn't look that happy either but that could be reading too much into their demeanour.

Schulz needed a full shoulder reco so I hope its not as bad as that

Thanks MT about bloody time you reported on training again.. ;)

Thanks heaps as ever for you reports this year MT. :)

Ta guys for the kind words :cheers. When preseason training starts hopefully there's quite a few new more talented faces added to the group. It'll be interesting to see how Hardwick's first preseason differs from training under Jade and Plough.
-
Yep, thanks MT, and again we will be relying on you (and RR and others) for our off-season 'fix'. You guys will be best placed to let us know how different this coming pre-season is and I pray (even though I'm not religious) your reports say "wow, how hard is this"!
-

Yes thank you so much for the reports MT as always I value your reports more than anyone being so far removed from the action. If anyone can report on the coaching differences next year between past and present coaches you can..... and I can't wait for your first report in 2 months... :lol.
Great stuff mate!! :thumbsup
-
when does Pre-Season start?
i know they have "8 weeks off".
-
I'd say it would be early to mid October as I think they also get 2 weeks off over Xmas
-
I would love to go too. I'm going to take a day off work just to go with a mate and kids to get a few autographs and see the new planning style early. Just hope I see more shepherds, tackles and skill accountability when training resumes.
-
I'd suspect there won't be much game based stuff before xmas, primarily strength and fitness stuff
-
I'll sniff around at the B&F tomorrow night and report back :thumbsup

Jacko & White were first and 2nd
Pre-season training starts Oct 26th :thumbsup :thumbsup

You can train as hard as you like, but if you aint got the ability, it aint going to win you games.
Hate to be so brutal but there the facts.

Hate to be so brutal ...
You see this is why it is so hard to take what you say seriously JJ. You say things like this when they are so obviously untrue. You absolutely love sticking the boot in.

WELL WELL Refer to me as JJ hey. ::)
Can tell you this.
I actually run the Tan and Matty White and Jackson were doing the Tan during finals time last years as well. ;)
Didnt make Matty White a better footballer did it. ::)
As for sticking the boots, dont think so.
Thats the way I see it.
It likes training a horse, you can do all the trackwork but if you aint got the abilty, you wont win a maiden at Colac , will you ?

-

Can't agree with that assessment Jack, effective training WILL increase ability and WILL win you games given that there are NO physiological or mental impediments, now that is a fact ;D

I agree, why else would you train. Fitness, training intensity and repetitions matter a lot. Which is why I'm not entirely critical of the recruiting. Its the weight training and other off field development activites that Ive been dissapointed with. Jack Reiwoldt should be much bigger if he is to be a forward. But I noticed in the last half of the year he put on mass, which is a positive sign. Robin Nahas must, absolutely must put on some weight.
Its really as much about off field spending as any thing else.
-
No doubt continual training honing skills and hardwork is critical to improvement and development but I think Jack's point is you need to have the class and ability in the first place otherwise anyone willing to train as hard could become an AFL standard footballer.

Have you noticed of late that a number of factors like endurance are not as valuable anymore. It used to be an endurance game, but now its much more of a sprinting power game with the huge number of rotations. So the best tan runner may not be the best footballer. Still I take your point, you do need some ability.
My point is we do need to get better off field with our development and injury management. Its not all recruiting.
-
Thought i would bump this up...when do we start training again?
I noticed that the dees stared on Monday this week...when is it our turn?

Think it's next Weds.

I thought Benny Gale said Monday? It's next week anyway.

I'm thinking a run around the Tan and skinfolds to test fitness levels and who has looked after themselves over the break. With a new coach anything is possible I guess. Hardwick could very well get the footies out on day 1 given our basic lack of skill.
-
Looking forward to your concise daily reporting MT. :cheers
-
same for me too having footy withdrawl at the moment
-
Hi MT!
So when exactly do the boys hit the track again? And more importantly where?
I'm going through the footy withdrawals big time too, in the midst of the horror of all this BORING Spring Racing nonsense, and am up for some sessions at Punt Road, Gosch's Paddock or Vic Park. I hope they're not ready to start at Craigiburn yet. That's a bit too far afield for me.
-
The boys are due to report for training on Monday 26th
Would think Monday will be the standard tests and then a run of some description
But it is definitely Monday 26th Oct
:thumbsup
-
Bring on the Hard way. :thumbsup
-
Will do us heaps of good I think.

Cheers WP :cheers

Well the HUN was saying he is holidaying in the US because Browny & Richo caught up with him
I think it is fair to say he is gone.
Well only a few more sleeps and we will know the complete list of the de-listed :rollin
On training I believe some started back today are another lot are due in on Wednesday

Taken from Bigfooty.
Was driving on Punt Road today and saw a few of the boys running around so I popped in for about 1/2 hour.
As others have said it look to be the first to fourth year players out there.
Players I can confirm seeings:
Edwards, Conners, Cotchin, Riewoldt, Browne, Rance, Nahas, Gilligan, Post, Gourdis, Putt, Hislop, Collins, and what looked like Farmer (smallish bloke with short blonde hair)
Anyway, as Hardwick promised, the balls are out already. I saw a couple of drills. In the first drill coaches were poping balls up to "fowards" in which a "defender" had to come from front on and spoil without trying to give the free kick. Browne was actually very good at defending - beat Gourdis and Riewoldt more then not.
Then it moved on to some short lead and mark drills (non-contact) in which two teams simply had a 1-on-1 oppoent who they had to lead to the ball then pass it 20 - 30m up to the next guy in the chain. Gilligan was the best at this. Each player only had 4 or 5 kicks each, but his kicking was presitine over the distance. Where as a few players kicked it straight to there teammate, Gilligan always kicked it to the side they were running too.
As for the leading and marking, Jack looked the most comfortable. He certainly has a swagger about him, as if he knows he's the best. Expecting a big year from him
After this they pretty much called it a day.
As far as I could tell the rehab group was Cotchin, Collins, Farmer and Hislop as they only took part in some light kicking excercises and no running.
Conditioning wise, noone really stood out. Nahas and Gilligan are still very small, though Gilligan has some nice pins . Collo hasn't added weight (maybe lost some in fact). Physically Chimp look excellent as does Riewoldt who may have put on some size. Titch Edwards has worked on his shoulders and back a bit but still has no arms to speak of. Conditioning wise, Conners was the one who impressed me the most. For the first time I actually saw some definition in his arms. The other major stand out was Posty for his size. Hasn't put any weight on, but is a really big boy now. Significantly taller then Rance (192cm).
Everyone seems to be in good spirits, alot of pats on the back.
As far as coaches go, Hardwick was the one explaining the drills and then was assessing the players. Leppitch was there, and he is a monster of a unit. He took some rills with the bigger boys, completetly outmuscled them. I think Cambo and Free (?) were there aswell, but on the far side. A big bloke was there in a cap, wasn't Monkhurst. I thought it could have been Lade but he did look quite young.

Cheers for that Danog and to RichosGuns for the report.
Hopfully Cotch's rehab isn't too long and he can get into full training in the next month. Good to hear Connors sounds fitter :pray.
Interesting that Putty and Goo were there. I guess the question is will they still be after Oct 30 but you would think so as it would be weird to bring them back for just one week.
-
RichosGuns said he may have confused thinking a dreadlockless Vickery was Putt.

I got to training at Punt Rd today just as it was finished :P but I was told they trained for about 45 minutes. I didn't see Hardwick but Lade, Leppitsch, Cambo and Clarke were all there. The word at training is the coaching staff are fully aware it's going to take a couple of years to get things right such is the state of the list.
The playing group was about 25-30 strong on the other side of the ground. Most had gone in by the time I got into the ground. Thomson and Rance stayed out longer with Cambo doing handball. I also saw Cuz, McGuane (looked more solid in the upper body), Kel, Morton, Connors, Simmonds and Jack. I was told Vickery (with the dreads gone), Postie, Tucky, Polly and Gourdis were there as well. Richo was also at training although apparently he didn't do much. We bumped into Neville Crowe too as he was driving out and as we were chatting to him we held up Richo in the car behind lol.
No photos sorry as the players had gone in. I'll try to get some next week.

its bloody common sence to have one place ready before you start ripping the other down.
But that's what the Club is doing TM.
The Social Club (including the old Tiger Den shop) is the only thing that has been knocked down so far. The training facilities and clubrooms are in the David Mandie building next door and in the Jack Dyer stand so the players are unaffected. The new player facilities will be built first and finished before they start guttering out the ground level of the JD stand where the Museum will go.
Craigieburn is a separate facility and is independent of what is happening at Punt Rd. The pavilion which is half-built already will be finished around Feb/March next year.
The main issue for the footy dept. isn't the state of Punt Rd or Craigieburn but where will we hold our closed training sessions from now on given Vic Park is going to be redeveloped and opened up to the public. You can't hold closed sessions at Punt Rd or Craigieburn even when finished.

Thanks for clearing that up MT
could always build a high fence around Punt Road. The build walls on freeways so why not around the Punt road oval.
Its not like a huge crowd gathers outside on busy Punt road to watch football or cricket
-
I'm sure one of the big private schools may be able to accommodate closed training sessions. Most of them I'm sure are fully fenced and have security.
-
I was told where they think we'll be training for closed sessions so they do have something in mind. I'm just not sure if it's set in concrete.

Actually there were a few people on Wednesday who stopped to watch us train as they were walking past the fence along Punt Rd. Even included some construction workers lol.
I don't think they'll ever build a wall around the perimeter of Punt Rd oval as it would be seen as a unnecessary expense and it'll become a graffitist haven.

Closed Sessions at the MCG?

Closed Sessions at the MCG?
Not a hope - any team is lucky to get to train at the MCG once a year - especially the tennants
Actually the using the private scholls is a good idea. There is a very good sports complex down near where I work in Port Melb - owned by Melb Grammar ;D

Does anyone know when they train again at Yarra Park / Punt Road?

I know they were training this morning at Punt Rd. Not sure where yet next week.
We are not allowed to train at Gosch's Paddock this summer apparently. Collingwood won't let us because they claim other clubs wreck the turf for them ::). And no I'm not joking.

Collingwood are just pure scum. Remember when they played Fitroy at Vic park when Fitzroy were co tennants at Vic Park? Their banner said "Fitzroy, Co Tennants or unwelcome house guests?"
Well, that pond scum are now the unwelcome house guests at the the MCG.
Malthouse is even having a sook about their draw

When did Collingwood buy Gosch's Paddock? I thought it was a public ground. Does this also mean the Storm can't train there either?

Where are we training on monday? I wanna head down as I have the day off work for once!

I believe we are training Monday Vogs but not sure where as yet. If I can find out before Monday I'll send you a PM.

Well Collingwood use it as their own. They have their signage and sponsors plastered along the boundary fence.

this is because when the Govt decided to build the rectangular stadium the Pies lost "edward Flack reserve" which was part of the Lexus Centre development. The rectangle stadium is being built where "edwin flack reserve" was
Trade off is they get Gosch's Paddock - Pies were well within their rights to demand a replacement ground for something they actually have along term lease for.
If it was us instead of them, we'd have wanted the same ;D

Remember that day well and the Skunks were crying even more back on that day in 1985 as Daicos did his knee and the Roys won by 85 points. Everything Collingwood say and do backfire on them lol. :ROTFL

Without giving too much away, The reason why I thought of this is because I work at a large Private school here in NSW and one of the nearby NRL teams use our facilities for private training sessions. Our gates are locked come training time and the fields are well away from the main road so you would essentially need a chopper. I know its a bit of a trip (but not too far from Craigieburn) Being an ex Assumption boy I know the main oval there is tucked well away from prying eyes. 8) :shh

I did last week. I turned up just as they finished :wallywink. Until they get into the regular preseason routine it's harder to know when and where we train. Not everyone (mainly the oldies) is back yet.

Hi MT,
I don't know if I've caught you in time. But I just found out that training is at Punt Road this morning (Wed) at 10:00. Hopefully I'll CU there.
-
The session went for about 2 and a half hours. The first two thirds was devoted to ball work, and the last third was running, so I think they had the right balance between skills and fitness.
They started off in a 5-point star formation in groups of six, criss-cross handballing, then split into smaller groups. The rucks were contesting under the watchful eye of Brendan Lade, Campbo took some midfielders and was going through a fairly complicated clearance drill, and the defenders were working man -on-man on their spoiling. A couple of other groups were shuffling the ball around. Eventually they got into their end-to-end work, and match simulation.
Polak was training with the group, as were the two Irishmen, and four Coburg players that I didn't recognise.
I didn't see Cotchin or Andy Collins, but Nathan Foley and Richo were both running. Hislop was restricted to running laps, and Lids and Bling were only doing a bit of kick to kick together early before disappearing up the race. I don't know what, if anything, was hampering them.
Mitch Farmer didn't train. We asked him how he was doing, and he said he'd had a cyst removed from his knee, and would be back on track by December.
When they started sprinting laps, Hardwick, Leppitsch, and some of the other fitness staff joined in with the running. I was very impressed with Andrew Browne who looked to have dropped some kilo's, and looked more streamlined. He was actually heading the running on the last lap.
That's about all that I can recall.
-
Thanks a lot, RR. :)

I don't watch training, but from what i've read Terry Wallet was hardly ever there, let alone joining in any sessions.
It's good to see the coaches getting involved, i think they'll get a lot more respect from the players doing this.
-
I went as well. Thanks for the heads up RR :thumbsup. You've summed it up well already :cheers so I'll just add some extra snippets.
It sounds as though Foley is still getting over his ankle or some kind of leg injury. He said he was having trouble accelerating.
Doing full training were Thursty, Simmo, Jack, Edwards, Jordie, Polo, McGuane, Newy, Rance, Morton, Tucky, Jacko, Vickery, Thomson, Gourdis, White, Postie, Nahas, Connors, Moore, Browne, Gus, Gilly and Kingy. Cuz about half the session and then did some laps on his own. As one of the oldies I don't think he was expected to do the full session.
Both Irish boys were there as well. We also had 4 Coburg ring-ins training with us. We couldn't recognise the faces but I'll have a look at the photos I took and see if I can find out who the four are.
One other little thing I noticed was players who went to get a drink were expected to get another one for a teammate as well. Likewise if you finished your run first then you gave encouragement to the others still running. All ideas to build up team spirit and doing things for each other.
-
how is Cotchin going?
:)
-
Great reports guys, thanks for the info, anyone copping a blast yet or is it too early??

Talk about recreating history...who said Terry was "hardly ever" at training? I think the fact that you can't spell his surname displays your bias. Further what has Terry got to do with today's training session? Answer: nothing, totally irrelevant.
Thanks for the report guys, much appreciated. The water bottle issue seems to be a small step in respect of the bigger issue - working for the team.

Will do danog when I upload the pics to the site. Hopefully they turned out okay.
how is Cotchin going?
:)
Still in rehab presumably. We didn't see him today.
Great reports guys, thanks for the info, anyone copping a blast yet or is it too early??
Nah there was a pretty good spirit between the coaches and players. Some laughs towards the end despite a pretty heavy 2.5 hour long session.
-

He was our last coach, and it's interesting to compare what they're doing differently.
From all reports Terry hardly even spoke to any of the young players, whereas the new coaches (including the head coach) are joining in some drills. I think it'll do wonders for the team.
-
I forgot to mention that not only has Collingwood prevented us from training at Gosch's paddock but they also stopped us from training at Vic Park this week because they wanted it for their seconds (VFL) side ::).
-
Speaking as someone who used to attend training sessions pretty regularly under Terry Wallace's regime, I can say that he wasn't very hands-on as a coach. This is not revisionism either. He would frequently leave his assistants to take the sessions, while he stood outside the boundary line talking to staff members or reporters, and sometimes being absent altogether.
I certainly don't remember ever seeing him join in with the running drills he put his players through either.
This is only the first of Damien Hardwick's sessions that I've attended, so it's a bit early in his tenure to be conclusive yet, but I like what I've seen so far.
-
Looks like some real positives have happened at training. I hope it continues..... ;D
-
From my memory he was absent usually on Tuesdays as he was doing Tuesdays with Terry.
As for Terry being absent generally - slattery media must have been lucky and taken these shots on the days he was present:
http://images.slatterymedia.com/photography/results/?q=terry wallace&sub_code=15084000&x=22&y=12&page=1 (lucky photographer)
For the record, I thought and still think there is nothing wrong with the senior coach leaving the assistants to take training whilst he watches. I must say, when i have been to training, he was there. He even turned up for a Coburg game at the TEAC oval (with his whole family)...
Now back to the present....How did the Irish boys go? Will they play senior footy next year or more likely the year after?
-
Thanks for the review guys, intersting to hear the water bottle thing. It would be assumed that core "team first values" have been spoken of and subtle things like that should underpin the team.
I remember Fev talking on the footy show about the influence of Judd on the team. Judd made a point that the entire team had poor posture and they should try to adopt a stand tall attitude.
I think these things have to be constantly practiced in day to day life and expecting to just happen when you walk over a white line is naive.
Thanks for pointing out stuff like this MT, its a good bit of insight.
-
Lids and Bling were only doing a bit of kick to kick together early before disappearing up the race. I don't know what, if anything, was hampering them.
DOn't know about Lids but Bling had some clean up surgery at the end to the season ;) :thumbsup ;D

Connors looks to be in good shape. Important for him to have a really strong pre season.
Edwards looks as skinny as ever. :-\
Great pics BTW. :thumbsup
-
I must admit I'll be surprised if we do pick up a Burger even as a rookie. There wasn't anyone to get excited about this year :-\.
Connors looks to be in good shape. Important for him to have a really strong pre season.
So true Magic. Fingers crossed Daniel can get through a full preseason for the first time :pray. Every year so far he's been basically playing without a preseason fitness base.
-
i really do hope daniel come up trumps however i have huge doubts about it.he has the skill and class no doubt about that,but his decision making is abysmal.he leaps too early,he grubs trhe ball,he takes on one too many opponents,he expects the ball to be deliveredd onto his tit all the time,he goes missing for large parts of the game......
Hopefully as age marches on and maturity sets in these aspects of his game become less and less prevalent
-
it doesn't look like players have put on some size!
:)

Wait till January/February.
In reality, they've just had 8 weeks off after the finishing the season. How are they meant to stack on weight in that time?

They might not have put on size, but maybe they have improved their endurance and speed.

Training report of today's session on BF
http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showpost.php?p=16244790&postcount=66
Great report and great to hear about our style of training and players such as Hooper, Collins and Post. This is the type of report that gets the blood pumping but I've told myself to expect rock bottom this year so I'll just calm myself down until we have runs on the board.
Thanks OE

Just posted this on PRE - for those that are interested, I thought I'd cut and paste!Went to training today... Circa 9:30AM - 11:30AM - Wednesday's seems to be the 'main' session at this stage!Firstly - everyone in attendance except Richo, Polo, Hislop.Rehab group consisted of Foley, Cotchin, Tambling and one / two others I couldn't make out (maybe Farmer?).A lot of ball work today - in fact, all drills were kicking related - and rarely were these stagnant drills. A lot of circle work - in terms of different groups around the oval and a lot of contested work being done...Rhan Hooper to be looks fat / bloated - and as such spent most of the session running laps with one of our trainers - he was blowing pretty hard too... Still his skills were there to see when taking part in the drills (probably the first 45 minutes with laps thereafter).Deledio and White spent the second half of the session away from the group - 200 metre times sprints about 15 meters sperating them. Cousins and Collins joined them for the last 20 minutes of the session - endurance training?All in all I liked what I saw - for those who have watched a pre Hardwick session, there was not a lot of involvment from assistants... Under Hardwick, its one in, all in! Hardwick, Lade, Campbell and Leppa were all business for the entire session...As said above, a lot of contested / match like training... Skills looked good - but they tend to on the training track...The two Irish kids were there - not much of either one and you can tell their kicking action is a work in progress - they spent a decent amount of time away from the group with Tim Clarke on kicking, on the run and stationary - and fwiw I though Clarke was really impressive...General observations - Connors looks sharp (has the skills...), Edwards, albeit still skinny looks to be getting bigger and looked great today - took off like lightening every chance he got, Rance (cant kick - not being funny but he missed more than he hit...) Post - gee I like this kid... And his set shot is very good - would love him in the forward line... Reiwoldt (getting very big in the quads / legs - looking good nonetheless).From what I saw today - and from what we've heard from the club re development - I wouldn't be aty all surprised to see King, McMahon, Tuck, etc play very few games next year - in their place I think its feasible that they'd be trying to get 22 games into Collins, Cotchin, Connors, Farmer, etc...

Cheers mate, appreciate it! Good report, interesting that Hooper is still fat! Apart from Rance impressed with what was posted, good to see Hardwick et al getting involved in the training! And my favourite part was the last 2 sentences ;)

Collo's arms although not big are getting some definition though going by those pics. I'm looking forward to see how he goes next year. Hopefully in time he adds quality and depth to our midfield rotation.

I am looking forward to him having an impact next year too MT, just hope the body can hold up.. :pray

anyone know when the next open training session is?
-
Went to training this morning. Took a few photos / videos (will upload when I get home). Edwards definitely looks bigger this year. I was surprised to see that Connors was mainly training with the defensive group. Jumpin' Jack was definitely the most vocal during training, trying to put off his opponent as much as possible. My favourite was "Don't let the coach's hair put you off" :hihi It's a bit hard to tell the difference between some of our talls now, with their new haircuts. Rance is an absolute tank. White shaved his hair.
If Post ever wanted a career in the NFL as a quarterback, he'd probably succeed. Can throw a massive spiral pass.
If you have any particular questions, just ask and I'll try to field them as best as I can.
-
Did we look like we are as one, or are we looking like a lot of individuales out there ?
I know it is only training, but it does transfer to the feild.
-
Polak ?
-
Polak was there.
We did look pretty team-oriented, apart from one lapse in concentration from Jack and Posty. There were poles with pointy bits on the end of them, and these 2 made them into makeshift javelins to throw around for a bit (though this was when training was winding down).
-
What type of drills were they doing? Was there any other surprizes with players playing in groups you wouldn't have expected?
-
They were doing handballing, contested marking, contested situations (body work), and tackling.
I think I saw Vickery briefly working with the defenders, but that was mainly to work on contested marking. Post and Polak were in the forward group. I didn't see Lids, but he might have been down the other end.
-
Thanks Danog. :clapping
-
Cheers for report Danog :cheers.
How is Cotch going?
-
Cotch was doing laps around the oval for the whole session (with breaks, of course). Collins trained with the group, but only for about 3/4 of the session.

Cheers for that Danog. Fingers crossed Cotch can start full training again in December :pray
One other question - Is Farmer doing any training yet or is he still in rehab?
-
Farmer did full training. I'll be posting the pics and (possibly, if they're not enormous) videos on PRE in a bit. I can't be stuffed posting them on 4 seperate forums, so it'll have to do. I'll provide a link when it's done.

Like the last clip. First time i watched it i thought gee they look unco for afl footballers, then i realised it was a left handed drill.
It actually makes you wonder about the junior development. They are the sort of things that should be done all through the teens so when they get to this stage those basic drills should not have to be done.

can someone find out where Cotch is at and how far he is away from resuming full training.
Surely someone knows something on here and how good he is tracking along

Ask Jackstar, he knows ALL the inside goss............. apparently... :whistle ::)

Went to training again today. Cotch was in the rehab group along with Farmer, Hislop, Rance, Tambling, Collins and Foley. Most of them went off around halfway through, though Collins may have stayed a bit longer and Foley and Tambling did light kicking drills.
-
Cheers Danog :)
I went to training as well today but watched from the grandstand as you know it was bloody hot in the sun :P.
I think Thomson was in the rehab group as well.
Cotch - a man in a boy's body is still the reason they are giving. I don't think he's meant to be back into full training until December at least but that's what I heard about a month ago.
Foley - not his ankle. More back of the foot (achilles?).
I'm not sure what was wrong with Blingers but he told a friend of mine on Monday he's okay so hopefully nothing too bad.
As for main training everyone else on our list was present plus Ben Clifton and the two Irish. I was told by a friend Hooper trained with us last week but she hadn't seen him this week. The other Coburg boys trained with us on Monday.
Training started with a standard kick to kick. They then worked on running off half-back and kicking over a teammate's head running away from them on the wing so the receiver didn't have to break stride. Most of the drills today involved this type of kick in some way. This was followed by full ground rebound work. Basically bringing it out of defence one side to half-back then going inside the corridor and switching with a longer kick to the fat side wing.
They mids also worked on stoppage plays (both ball-ups and throw-ins) and clearance work. Linking up and hard running in numbers. The emphasis today seem to be on quick movement and keeping the ball moving forward. A lot easier of course at training with no opposition.
The main squad then went inside to change into runners and then they came out after 2 hours of training and did a few 800m (two laps) runs. All the coaches joined in as well. Jacko and Whitey finished well in front in the first run with Edwards and Nahas next followed by Lids.
Cuz didn't do the running with the others as he had already ran a few laps during main training.
I took a couple of photos so I'll post them later on. Any questions fire away.
-
ps. I was also told O'Reilly has really improved in the short time he's been training with us. He participated in the full training today. The other Irish boy McCann who's on trial with us spent some time with Tim Clarke working on his kicking technique with a Sherrin.
-
I left after they went to change into their runners (thought it was finished).
I posted pics here. The university proxy doesn't let me upload videos, so I'll just upload the small ones when I get home.

What was Whitey thinking. His new nickname should be romper stomper :D.
And speaking of nicknames Edwards doesn't like being called "Titch".
I sizzled in the sun. :-\
I learnt that lesson the hard way watching previous years training sessions at Vic Park :P. I watched the first 15 minutes in the sun and then popped up into the Grandstand. Even poor Leppa after years living in Qld was saying it was too bloody hot.

Edwards was being called 'Sheddy' by his team-mates.

Jordie is doing full training with the main squad whereas Hislop is in the rehab group. He was limping so he must have some leg injury.

I plan on attending my first Tigers training sometime over the next 3 weeks with my little fellow. I have a 'day-in-loo' ;) owing and I'll give my son the day off but firstly I wanted to find out when/where a good session would be. Does anyone have any suggestions?

The Wednesday morning session goes for 2 hours so that's probably the best one to watch. The players won't mind signing an autograph for your son either Stripes.

Hi Mighty Tiges,
I just heard that the Tigers will be training at Monash all next week for anyone interested in checking out all the new recruits. Incidentally Stripes, I'm not trying to be a smart-arse here, but the term is "day-in-lieu." A day-in-loo suggests a bad reaction to a curry.

Sorry I was trying to be funny :P

We must have been training at Monash today because there was no one at Punt Rd this morning.

where abouts in monash uni are they training? id like to get along.
Is it the oval thats along Blackburn Rd. I think the entrance is the first entrance to the right as you enter Wellington Rd from Blackburn Rd. Is this correct?

From comments regarding Dustin Martin, today is a day off and they're back Monday, he wanted to get started today

Looks like I'll be going in on Monday then. ;D
I'll be sure to have my camera handy. ;)

Hey all,
Can anyone confirm where and what rough time training will be on Monday?
I've gone down to Punt Road and watched it a few times, however I heard they were training down at Monash Clayton last week.
Just want to check out the new fellas and take a couple of snaps which i'd be happy to post up on here

I'm guessing it'll be held in the morning as that's the time they've been training this preseason (except for last Wednesday arvo) but that's just a guess.

Cant wait for the training reports and the pics of the new kids...
Interesting and enthusiastic times ahead...

it is going to be very interesting who is training with us for a spot on our list.
1 Senior spot and 4 Rookie spots.

Glad to see the RFC is actually managing to have a closed session without all the details being plastered all over the internet anyway. I'm actually enjoying the silence.

Training today was at Monash. A fairly punishing session and it was pretty warm out there too :P.
No sign of Cotch, Cuz or Gilligan when I got there. I don't remember Hislop being there either.
Of our new draftees I didn't see Nason. Griffiths watched with his arm in a sling (apparently it wasn't a full shoulder reco which is good news). Taylor was lying on a table having work done of his lower right ab/leg. He left soon after with Jordie. The other four had a fairly light session with their own routine set up for them separate from the main squad. They did 10 150m runs along the boundary. Dea was really feeling it during the last few, falling back behind Martin who had no probs. Astbury easily kept up with the smaller Webberley. Moves well for a 195cm kid. Martin is ready-made to play when you see him close up. Taylor looks taller than I expected although he's a beanpole and needs to fill out.
As for training they first worked on full ground rebounding from defence to attacking the goalsquare. Hardwick has said he wishes to initially have us playing fairly direct predictable footy and that's what it looks today with hard running, spreading and linking up getting the footy past the centre and then a long kick forward. Our iffy footskills from the usual suspects are still there (Hardwick's broom still has work to do next year) but overall it was fairly well done.
Next up the main squad split in two groups and the coaching staff set up two oval boundaries quarter the size of the main oval at each end. Then each group split into two teams - one attacking and one defending. The idea was for the attackers to work on maintaining possession via short passes to leading teammates or sharing the ball around by hand, and then reseting attacks to go again. Attacking players needed to run hard to find space in the smaller confines and work hard to run and support teammates to maintain possession. Defenders had to close down space and fill holes. I watched the group closer to me and the skill level was pretty good.
The squad then came together for some more full ground length rebounding drills. They then finished off with five successive approx. 1 km runs around the Monash ovals. Kadhlefelt and Jacko had a good duel. Jacko won the first two runs with Kadhlefelt just a shoulder length behind. By the time they got to the 4th and 5th run Kadhlefelt had a 20m gap on Jacko. I know it means nothing if he can't play but Justin is definitely living up to his reputation of being a running machine. The coaches once again joined in at the back. Just before the last one Hardwick turned to Postie, who was having a massage on the table as he didn't do any running, and told Postie he'll need the table to collapse on after the run ;D.
As for injuries - a couple of Tigers had niggles. Whitey rolled his ankle on Saturday and so had his ankle in ice after doing 80% of the session. Kingy trained but he also had some ankle niggle with his left ankle tapped up. Vickery has a niggle near the achilles (it's not the achilles though) which he felt yesterday. It wasn't a sore today so hopefully it's only minor. He can still train.
No photos sorry as it was a closed session. I was allowed to take pics for myself but I didn't bother as I wouldn't be allowed to post and share them.
-
Thanks heaps for that MT. Interesting to hear about Kadhlefelt & Jacko, appears to be an impressive engine he has there! Do you think we would be looking at him in the PSD or hoping he slips past GC's picks in the RD?
-
i would hope we dont' take him with PSD. i want our PSD to be used on a 'real' kid that just missed out in the national draft.
-
Thanks again MT, great reporting, is it just me or every year do we seem to have more players injured, with injuries, recovering from injuries or niggles than every other club??????

I'd say rookie list for Kadhlefelt cranny.
I don't think we have any more niggles than other clubs WAT although our medicos/fitness staff didn't do themselves any favours last year playing certain players injured :-\. Niggles are never reported in the media so we don't hear about them at other clubs.
Are the Coburg boys still down there MT?
Not that I saw TFL. They aren't listed on our permission to train list either.

Have a look around on other clubs boards etc. WA Tiger if anything we have less injuries than alot of other clubs.

Great reports :clapping. Cheers RROFO :thumbsup
The guys with numbers on their backs in the photos are the potential rookies training with us. No.30 is Kadhlefelt.
I forgot to mention it on Wednesday but yeah Hardwick and the coaching staff are big on positive body language after a drill. No crouching over looking half dead. Players had to stand up straight even if they were sucking in the big ones. They also wanting guys walking around to fellow teammates encouraging them or getting them a drink. When the main squad was doing the five 1km runs Martin had about 5 gatorades ready to hand out to the guys as they finished. It doesn't sound much but Hardwick is obviously trying to get the "team first" mentality drilled into them in everything they do.
Another thing I forgot to mention was everyone on the sidelines during a drill were laughing when Jack cracked it with a teammate further upfield. They were calling him the next Richo lol.

Reading the various reports around the traps there are a few references to a small solid bloke that seemed to do alright. Someone even called him mighty mouse. He had number 35 on. Any one able to shed any light on this? Is it Andrew Hooper?
al, I believe that's Josh Free in #35.

Question, where is Cousins??
-
on a plane heading to perth with a bandaged hand according to Con65 from Yellow and Black who had a mate on the same plane.
-
he was going to a funeral

I was there today, and I can confirm what the poster on Big Footy said, that they are working very, very hard. They were on track by 10am, and still going at high intensity when I had to leave at 12:30.
As well as doing a lot of gruelling, keepings off stuff in several groups,with hard running and tackling,they also did an exercise where players had to gather the ball and bust through two tacklers thumping them with padded bags. If they spilled the ball in the process, they had to do 8-10 push-ups. They did two variations on this drill, where they had to either fend off the guys with the bags with a stiff arm, or bump them back with a shoulder. I loved the physicality, and the fact that they were made accountable if they fluffed the drill.
Incidentally MT, don't be too shocked when you next see our mutual friend. She took a bit of a tumble into her rose bushes this week, scratching her face, and breaking her wrist.

Thanks again sezza. :thumbsup
Any one on here take any pics, you need to be a member AND have made more than 20 posts AND been on for more than 5 days to see these :banghead
I know its absolutely absurd. I've been a member for 6 YEARS, 6 BLOODY YEARS, but i've only made 11 posts sooo I don't get to see them either. Maybe in the year 2015 I'll get to see them and maybe just maybe after being a member of there board for 12 years someone just may realise that I am a richmond supporter and that I do post on other Richmond boards like this one and you know just maybe they can grant me full privileges, what ever that entails.

The 20 post probation period is entirely automatic, there is no intervention from moderators. IMO 20 posts is not unreasonable but everyone is welcome to their own opinion of course. Unfortunately the forum software does not contain any AI so it cannot make any judgements about a posters worth. All it knows is 11 is less than 20. :) Sorry for any angst caused I did not realise there was a restriction on the albums.
Glad sezza posted them elsewhere so all can enjoy. Thanks for posting the link smokey (and al). :thumbsup

thank you for the link's!
i have some questions for anyone could answer them?
1) Is our forward line still leading towards the pockets in training?
2) how is Gourdis training?
3) who is likely to be Rookie listed?
:)
-
1) Is our forward line still leading towards the pockets in training?
Would say no but we haven't had scratch matches yet where defenders are sitting in front of the forwards.
2) how is Gourdis training?
He's in full training with the main squad and looks in good nick. The real test for Goo will come in game-based drills and scratch matches which will test out if his kicking has improved.
3) who is likely to be Rookie listed?
See the permission to train thread torch. Those training with us will be where most likely our rookie picks will come from. Polly and O'Reilly are knowns (unless another club grabs Polly before us which is unlikely).

Sticking with the low key approach to preseason training presumably. There's a session tomorrow morning for the fans.

Well there's problem number 1 ...Morning session, not much use for those who work and when kids are at school.
Second point I've been told it has nothing to do with any "low key approach" Mr One-Eyed. The reason being given is it's because of the re-development

True WP although there's still room in front of and up in the Jack Dyer stand for fans to watch training. You just won't be able to fit 2000 people in Punt Rd Oval like last year with Cuz's first training session.
Blame Hardwick for the early morning times :eyebrow. On Wednesday they trained all morning and then the afternoon was taken up with boxing. Jake King had a smile on his face when he mentioned they were off to do boxing ;D.
-
Hope Hardwick has a role for Kingy this year, l got a feeling he will get a better go under him & produce something
-
oh well at least we can see it changing down there.
-

Kingy should have a good year anyway, he had injuries leading into the season and during the season hence his poor form. He only got over the injuries late in the year and thats why he played a few games. NO excuses from this bloke now with a pre-season behind him.

Kingy will be fighting for his AFL career in 2010 that's for sure. He only survived because he was contracted. If he doesn't cement his spot in our best 22 then he'll be out the door this time next year you'd reckon.

Do you know what, I would be tempted to plonk him in a forward pocket opposite Nahas (other pocket) to see how he goes with a forward such as Reiwoldt, Post or Griffiths.
-
If anything King tackles hard and shows some grunt so at least the opposition defence may have a hard time getting it out. Nahas I think has footy smarts and has a dip I just think King has a dip with not many footy smarts and poor disposal. Only as a pinch hitter can he be used forward with all his deficiencies. Maybe he can just get up the noses of the opposition defenders with few stats and start all in brawls that makes the opposition lose focus. Every club has a player like that.

Well with King and Nahas in the forward pockets, both very good tacklers, surley the forward pressure would be better than it has been x 2. Crumbing midfielders and forwards could have a field day.
-

Due to their below par footskills I can only see a spot for Kingy and even Tucky up forward if they are play at AFL level instead of Coburg. So not the worst idea out there WAT. At least turnovers won't hurt as much :-\. Tucky isn't a bad set shot at goal either.

Thats right MT, really agree with the Tuck call, but if King wen't to kick it out if bounds on purpose he may jag a goal or 2......get him down there ::)
-
i think Tuck up forward as a small forward could be good!
he is a big body!

I dropped in at training this morning. Couldn't stay long, but you'll be pleased to know that Cotchin was doing full training. He was taking part in a match simulation drill with two sides playing keepings off by hand and foot, and was twisting, turning, and accelarating comfortably.

yep. was there too. he certainly did participate in the match stimulation drills. not all of it mind you. my guess is the club is working him in slowly, but he certainly doesn't have anything wrong with him. just don't want to overwork him too quickly.

Seems everything is on schedule with Cotch. It's December and he's getting back into full training. Cheers guys for the reports :cheers.
I know we play Carlton round 1 but it's a long way out to be visibly spying on us at an open training session where we wouldn't be giving anything strategically away anyhow. They must be interested in one or more of the rookies we have training with us. Grimes may be on their radar if they are looking for a tall defender but we have two picks (PSD and rookie pick 7) before their first pick if we want him.

Yeah MT, I'd say most clubs have people at other club's training sessions checking out the rookie prospects. It's unlikely that you'd get everyone you were considering training at your club.

Very true al. No guarantee a kid we having training with us will last until our pick 51 say in the rookie draft so we need to keep all options open. No doubt we would have spies/recruiters checking out the kids training at other clubs. We'd be negligent if we weren't.
-
Here's my report on training -
I took my son along to the last training session before the PSD and Rookie draft and tucked ourselves up along side the other 50 or so keen observers for the next couple of hours. The players were already on the ground and the construction machinery roaring next to the ground making it a busy scene before we even had a chance to settle. We had very little chance to see anything but what was directly in front of us as the rest of the ground was out of bounds.
Cotchin, Rance and Foley spent the first part of training handballing in a triangular formation before breaking off. Cotch undertook a lot of back stretching exercises but was involved in most of the training which was great to see. Cotch was also kicking goals from long range which was also encouraging.
Foley and Lids looked keen to be involved but looked resolved in allowing the young fellows time to train against each other without their influence.
Rance spent most of the training session timing himself as he repeated sprints along the boundary. He looks in excellent shape, both in size and athleticism, and gave the adoring girls on the side plenty to ogle at.
I did not see Cousins (still in WA), Nahas, Vickery or Tuck but Simmonds and Newman were in training. Foley, Lids and Bling were hardly sighted either but looked in full health.
Gus is a monster and is easily the biggest player on our list in height and size. Simmonds and Browne look undersized against him. He show pace, strength, good skills (can you believe it) and marking capability. Gus, along with Simmonds and Browne, seem to be training as forwards as well as rucks this year and, after seeing the squad in action today, our obvious lack of size in the forward line we need them too.
Postie, Thursfield, Morton and Polo are big units now. Edwards is still small and struggled through all the strength drills (which there is much more of now). Kingy turned it over by foot and hand but was one of the most vocal.
Thompson looked bigger and displayed excellent skills. He’s fast to the ball and elusive. I think he may have a good season ahead of him if today’s form is any indicator. Hislop did not stand out.
McMahon was another who surprised. While no powerhouse, he has gained in size and was excellent in the drills involving skills. He tackled hard and shepherded. I was genuinely impressed.
Martin is everything people say he is around the packs. He is easily as big and strong as our other midfielders and will have NO trouble starting in week one. One drill he was involved in where the midfielders had to break through two bags and gather the ball Titch struggled with yet Martin smashed through like it was nothing and easily gather the ball. They set him up as an outside mid/wingman during the larger game based drills but it won’t take long before he is in the centre despite his age. There is no fear he will be targeted or hurt more than any of our more mature players particularly with is attitude.
Another great sign was that Griffiths was out training (leading, marking etc) without any bandage or sign of discomfort. At the end the players did a drill where they were paired up, one on his knees while the other kicked the ball straight at them from 3m away. He worked with Hardwick, who didn’t hold back, kicking to either side of his body and decent pace. Hardwick then worked with Polak just as hard who held up extremely well too. At one stage Polak kicked a goal during a drill and the cheer from the group was uplifting.
I turned around at one stage to ask the bloke behind me if he knew the name of one of the players but it turned out that it was Robert Harvey and Lappin scouting for Carlton. They were there to see what drills and focus we were using more than individual players from what I overheard from them throughout the session.
Of the fellows hoping to gain a guernsey I only took note of two – Free and a very dark skinned aboriginal player. Free is small but very broad seemed clean by hand and foot but the aboriginal player was the stand out. He looked overweight to my untrained eye but was extremely skillful, possessed excellent decision making skills and had a wonderful long, congestion breaking, handball.
Drills
Practically all of today’s drills focused on defensive, pressured and physical footy. There was very little running in isolation and no unpressured skills sessions. The zone was used offensively and defensively for over half the training and drills were continuously stopped if players were not following instructions or the coaches saw a problem. I saw a couple of ‘newbies’ doing pushups for fumbling balls and was told last week others saw dozens of players having to do similar punishments.
As MT has mentioned before the ‘get drinks for others before yourself’ routine was well entrenched as was the coaches encouraging players to be more vocal.
Lepptich took the backline and ran them through one drill where bags were held 3 meters to either side of them in the goal square. The defender had to hip and shoulder in bag in succession until and ball spilled free and they then snatched it up to move to forward.
He also ran a drill with them revolved around body positioning, particularly the legs and arms to make it very difficult for a forward to get to the ball let alone mark it. A later tackling drill followed a similar vein buts was more about wrapping up a player so the ball would spill free.
A drill where two teams matched off, using handballs to try and thread through a very congested space, ran for over half the session with ‘teams’ revolving through it. The idea was to keep moving regardless of which side you were on and for defenders to anticipate so as to intercept.
At one stage during the same drill Gus kicked the ball to Mortons opponent and Hardwick stopped the drilled yelling out to Morton that he should have cut off the space for his opponent to run into so Gus had no one to kick to. He then brought everyone in to discuss this as a group.
Hardwick was heavily involved with everything as was his assistants though he gave his assistants ownership of their areas he watched everything like a hawk and made sure everything worked to plan. In another drill where the offensive team had to make their way through a zone Connors decided to buck the trend and take the defenders on by hand to great effect. Hardwick quickly pulled in the defenders and instructed them how to close this tactic down and the next time the drill was run the offensive team found the ploy much more difficult to execute.
Connors looks strong and alert which is great to witness.
Another midfield drill revolved around the coaches throwing a ball in front of an attacking player with a defender 5m behind. The attacking player had to gather the ball and find space to kick it back to one of the coaches on either wing. Great evasive skill developer.
I also noticed the rookie wannabes kicking soccer balls back and forth which they found difficult to control.
Yet another drill had the players in threes with one player carrying a bag, one throwing ball and the other trying to gather the ball at ground level while being buffed. The player with the bag was unrelenting and by the end all involved were completely stuffed. The coaches were also involved here and would not let the ball carrier give up regardless of how tired they were.
A forwardline drill involved the forwards attempting to find space to lead into by shepherding, dummy leading and generally working together while some offensive midfielders attempted to kick it into them while defensive midfielders guarded space. It was mainly a defensive exercise but highlighted to me how lacking we are in strong forwards. The only forwards that looked a decent chance were our three rucks – Gus, Browne and Simmonds, in that order, though Browne snuffed a easy shot for goal after taking a great leading mark in congestion.
McGuane was clearly the best defender for pace, strength and smarts though Thursfield is a big boy now too. Moore ran the boundary so I think he was given light training duties today for whatever reason.
At the end the Collins stayed out to work with Campbell on more buffering midfield drills. He still looks skinny but seemed stronger in this drill that he appeared to be.
Overall my lad didn’t want to go home and spent the majority of the session asking questions so I apologize if I missed any crucial components. Good fun and I aim to get to another one in the school holidays if time allows.
If you have any questions fire away.

great report Stripes!
Q: you said that "Martin is everything people say he is around the packs. He is easily as big and strong as our other midfielders and will have trouble starting in week one"
do you mean he will start Round 1 or he wont? was that a typo?

Sorry - gramatical error. I've corrected it now. One thing Martin did make a couple of footskill errors when he was passing through congestion, into a crowded/zoned forwardline to a leading forward....so he is human afterall! ;) :santa

McMahon was another who surprised. While no powerhouse, he has gained in size and was excellent in the drills involving skills. He tackled hard and shepherded. I was genuinely impressed.

One drill he was involved in where the midfielders had to break through two bags and gather the ball Titch struggled with yet Martin smashed through like it was nothing and easily gather the ball. They set him up as an outside mid/wingman during the larger game based drills but it won’t take long before he is in the centre despite his age. There is no fear he will be targeted or hurt more than any of our more mature players particularly with is attitude.
Another great sign was that Griffiths was out training (leading, marking etc) without any bandage or sign of discomfort. At the end the players did a drill where they were paired up, one on his knees while the other kicked the ball straight at them from 3m away. He worked with Hardwick, who didn’t hold back, kicking to either side of his body and decent pace. Hardwick then worked with Polak just as hard who held up extremely well too. At one stage Polak kicked a goal during a drill and the cheer from the group was uplifting.
I turned around at one stage to ask the bloke behind me if he knew the name of one of the players but it turned out that it was Robert Harvey and Lappin scouting for Carlton. They were there to see what drills and focus we were using more than individual players from what I overheard from them throughout the session.
Of the fellows hoping to gain a guernsey I only took note of two – Free and a very dark skinned aboriginal player. Free is small but very broad seemed clean by hand and foot but the aboriginal player was the stand out. He looked overweight to my untrained eye but was extremely skillful, possessed excellent decision making skills and had a wonderful long, congestion breaking, handball.
Drills
Practically all of today’s drills focused on defensive, pressured and physical footy. There was very little running in isolation and no unpressured skills sessions. The zone was used offensively and defensively for over half the training and drills were continuously stopped if players were not following instructions or the coaches saw a problem. I saw a couple of ‘newbies’ doing pushups for fumbling balls and was told last week others saw dozens of players having to do similar punishments.
As MT has mentioned before the ‘get drinks for others before yourself’ routine was well entrenched as was the coaches encouraging players to be more vocal.
Lepptich took the backline and ran them through one drill where bags were held 3 meters to either side of them in the goal square. The defender had to hip and shoulder in bag in succession until and ball spilled free and they then snatched it up to move to forward.
He also ran a drill with them revolved around body positioning, particularly the legs and arms to make it very difficult for a forward to get to the ball let alone mark it. A later tackling drill followed a similar vein buts was more about wrapping up a player so the ball would spill free.
A drill where two teams matched off, using handballs to try and thread through a very congested space, ran for over half the session with ‘teams’ revolving through it. The idea was to keep moving regardless of which side you were on and for defenders to anticipate so as to intercept.
At one stage during the same drill Gus kicked the ball to Mortons opponent and Hardwick stopped the drilled yelling out to Morton that he should have cut off the space for his opponent to run into so Gus had no one to kick to. He then brought everyone in to discuss this as a group.
Hardwick was heavily involved with everything as was his assistants though he gave his assistants ownership of their areas he watched everything like a hawk and made sure everything worked to plan. In another drill where the offensive team had to make their way through a zone Connors decided to buck the trend and take the defenders on by hand to great effect. Hardwick quickly pulled in the defenders and instructed them how to close this tactic down and the next time the drill was run the offensive team found the ploy much more difficult to execute.
Connors looks strong and alert which is great to witness.
Another midfield drill revolved around the coaches throwing a ball in front of an attacking player with a defender 5m behind. The attacking player had to gather the ball and find space to kick it back to one of the coaches on either wing. Great evasive skill developer.
I also noticed the rookie wannabes kicking soccer balls back and forth which they found difficult to control.
Yet another drill had the players in threes with one player carrying a bag, one throwing ball and the other trying to gather the ball at ground level while being buffed. The player with the bag was unrelenting and by the end all involved were completely stuffed. The coaches were also involved here and would not let the ball carrier give up regardless of how tired they were.
A forwardline drill involved the forwards attempting to find space to lead into by shepherding, dummy leading and generally working together while some offensive midfielders attempted to kick it into them while defensive midfielders guarded space. It was mainly a defensive exercise but highlighted to me how lacking we are in strong forwards. The only forwards that looked a decent chance were our three rucks – Gus, Browne and Simmonds, in that order, though Browne snuffed a easy shot for goal after taking a great leading mark in congestion.
McGuane was clearly the best defender for pace, strength and smarts though Thursfield is a big boy now too. Moore ran the boundary so I think he was given light training duties today for whatever reason.
At the end the Collins stayed out to work with Campbell on more buffering midfield drills. He still looks skinny but seemed stronger in this drill that he appeared to be.
Overall my lad didn’t want to go home and spent the majority of the session asking questions so I apologize if I missed any crucial components. Good fun and I aim to get to another one in the school holidays if time allows.
If you have any questions fire away.

Stripes. I think u'll find that u got griffiths and vickery mixed up. Vickery was doing all the drills and towards the end was the one on his knees with hardwick kicking to him. He's cut off his dreads hence perhaps u didn't recognise him.
Griffiths isn't in full training yet but he was out there. big bloke he is. the spent the latter half of the session doing kick to kick with nason.

absolutely he was
also like to add that i really liked how towards the end of the train session, some of the assitant coaches took a few of the boys aside to do individual training.
Apart from the bumping drill collins did, i also saw one coach taking dea aside and had him run at full pace and kicking towards webberley with another bloke filming his kicking action with a digicam. no doubt to be used to analyse his action and to refine/perfect it. i was quite impressed by this.

Awesome report Stripes. A great read :bow :clapping :cheers :thumbsup. LOL Con. Yep I might now be out of a job as a reporter ;D.
Stripes, great news about Griffiths. It would be great if other clubs were scared off him thinking he needed a shoulder reco and now that it wasn't so bad we've picked up a real bargain in gaining a quality big key forward at pick 19. Fingers crossed :pray. You're right about Gus being a big boy now :o. Another year and preseason for Postie and he'll be strong in the upper body as well.
Here's some more pics: http://www.zimbio.com/pictures/LjIB4DCnfAh/Richmond+Tigers+Training+Session
The indigenous kid is definitely Roberts from the below photo.
Trying to figure the others. Kadhelfelt is next to Edwards. Grimes I think is in front of Jake King. I'm not sure who the two next to Grimes are?

Someone made a tongue in cheek comment about it on another forum, but i wonder if Richmond have pulled of the greatest scam in the history of the draft here :whistle.
Just on Kahlefeldt, this is the correct spelling of his name. The permission to train list put out the the AFL has the 'd' in the wrong spot. I actually thought that the reports that he is the brother of the Olympic tri-athlete were wrong but the AFL has got the spelling wrong. ( Sorry , just being pedantic :rollin)
-
I see Nahas is running in that group as well and I incorrectly reported that he was not at training. I never saw him as part of any of the training drills so I'm unsure whether he was excluded from full training or I just missed him on the day. ???
No MT, I am happy to bow to your superior training knowledge. :bow With all the oversights I made (ie it was Vickery in the last marking drill not Griffith, Nahas WAS at training etc) I think your job is more than safe. Certainly makes me appreciate your insight more and how difficult it is to identify players at this stage of the year. That was my first training session and I am unlikely to attend another until late Jan if at all. :-\
I think you could be correct al, Griffiths looks like he will be more than fine much quicker than the footy world believed he would. The big slight on him was that he was injury prone but from the people I know who have inside knowledge of him, he is not injury prone at all. His shoulder etc could have been blown up by certain medico's who may have had links to the Tigers but who's to say :whistle As always time will tell whether he is a find or otherwise.
Post looks big already MT which is scary at his age. If he continues to increase in size then he will be a monster and we may have an embarrassment of riches with forwards in the future :pray
The media are reporting that we are likely to take Grimes in the PSD.

Interesting that he would be stopped from taking notes when Harvey and Lappin sat and watched the whole session quite openly. Bloody wankers by the way - had no idea really. Keep whispering to themselves about various drills and made some ridiculous assumptions, errors in player names and even terrible generalizations.

It appears the squad is doing some "Amazing Race" bonding exercise....
"Been catching the train to Traralgon the last few weeks from SC, and I had a pleasent surprise this morning.
The guys came in groups of 6-7 through the station carrying mini back packs (and sleeping bags). It looked like they were in teams as each had diferent colours, but they had the Richmond bags and apparel. Ever 5 minutes a team came through the station from Ethihad direction and out the other side...

"well training started up again today. i saw punt road was in action this morning. almost everyone was there. was disappointed not to see relton roberts to see what he has to show seeing he has generated a bit of talk. on the plus cotchin was training with the main group and looked unhindered. he also stayed back once the bulk of the team went into the rooms to run repeat like 200m runs with mitch farmer. simmonds and thompson also were doing extra runs whilst collins and browne got some extra one on one work with the various coaches. only foley looked to be on restricted training. the rest of the boys looked very well, so many new faces down there. the drills were done well and there was plenty of talk. martin certainly impressed, gourdis as well. oh and apparently todays session at punt road followed a first up time trial around the tan - won by ranga jackson."

Not sure how accurate but nevertheless this is from BF:
Got a couple of results from the tan
Jackson 13 flat, Griffiths 15 something (only had been running for a couple of weeks)
Relton Roberts 24 something, had to re do it this morning and he knocked 6 mins off his time. Apparantly had a pretty large gut and was unfit.

Lol Relton.
Would love to see him on the park but at 24 around the Tan I don't think you can improve that much and run out a game of AFL football.
Bumped into a mate from Whitefriars who played footy with Griffiths and said he's an absolute monstor and enjoys hruting the opposition with his size and body (fairly of course). One day apparently in School Footy he kicked 6 goals but told his mates he only scored 3 that day as he busted 3 packs each time putting an opposition player on the bench with some sort of injury lol 15 is pretty good for a big man.
-
I don't believe the 24 min report, you could almost walk around it the tan that fast
I think the first time I did it was in about 18 mins and thats when I was unfit and didn't know how to pace myself for the hill
-
if there is any player at the club who cannot break 15 mins around the tan shouldnt be on the list full stop, I am horrifed if we have elite players who cant break 15 mins, fit or unfit, its only 3.89k for god sake

He must heve stopped for a crap, or to regurgitate his breakfast.. Knocked 6 mins off the next day so something wasn't right with him when he did that time, just hope it wasn't his head.

I have been away on 2 weeks holiday and went around this morning in 17.34 and I am 49. ::) and I am 6 kilos overweight
-
No, its not jack the star, but I never said it was.
He was overweight and unfit when drafted, as a rookie. I'd be more worried if he was still like that in a few months time. Of all the attributes needed to play AFL football, fitness is the one that can most easily be rectified.
Just to give an idea about the footy environment he comes from I heard Michael Mclean talking about how coaching up here had changed since he coached Southern Districts to a flag 5-6 years ago. He said you can't train them into the ground and push them too hard anymore ???
left me a little stunned actually.
So coming from that sort of environment AFL training is a huge step up and a real test of character to start so far behind the eight ball. He has so much more work to do than the others if he does get his fitness up to scratch then kudos to him.
Just out of curiosity, is there anything the club has done recently that you are remotely happy about?

He was overweight and unfit when drafted, as a rookie. I'd be more worried if he was still like that in a few months time. Of all the attributes needed to play AFL football, fitness is the one that can most easily be rectified.
Just to give an idea about the footy environment he comes from I heard Michael Mclean talking about how coaching up here had changed since he coached Southern Districts to a flag 5-6 years ago. He said you can't train them into the ground and push them too hard anymore ???
left me a little stunned actually.
So coming from that sort of environment AFL training is a huge step up and a real test of character to start so far behind the eight ball. He has so much more work to do than the others if he does get his fitness up to scratch then kudos to him.
Just out of curiosity, is there anything the club has done recently that you are remotely happy about?
YES.
Got rid of Terry Wallace , Greg Miller, David King, Jade Rawlings, Cleve Hughes, Jay Schulz, JON etc etc
Stupid question after all.
:lol

Drove past punt road tonight (5:30ish) and a team were training.
Was that us or does someone else use Punt road to train?

I'm not saying they won't train at all. Just that they may cut it shorter than the 3 hour sessions they've been doing this preseason.

Does the RCC still train at Punt Rd? If there weren't nets up you would reckon it was our blokes.

Just read on BF ("Riplyes Beleive It Or Not" of forums) that they trained today at 6am, gee they are getting under the radar, lets just hope they are under the Blues radar.

They were kicking footballs and had blue and red jumpers on, Coburg maybe?

Jacosh, the RFC site still says it is on at 9.30am today at Punt Rd Oval.
If you're able to make it I'm sure we would all like to hear your thoughts on training :).

First off id like to appologise if this isnt up to standard, i have big shoes to fill here. :bow
With the camp going on at the moment there wasnt any first year players there or Vickery who is speaking at the camp, also didnt see Cousins. Its hard to pinpoint who isnt there lol.
It was only about a 1 hour session today, mainly defensive drills.
Starting off with a small group that were practising a rotating zone for about 10-15 mins. they then had a break and the rest came out and just did some kick to kick warm up. Noticed that Rance teamed up with Thompson (i think), IMO those two should team up with someone that can help improve their kicking instead of each other being pretty sloppy. On the opposite hand watching Morton send 40 metre bullet passes to Newman, i would like to see him run farther up towards the wing with passes like that.
They then split into 3 groups the closest doing more zone defence training (Jack barking orders like mad), Mids and rucks (Browne is a big boy these days, i know he always was but it looks like he has been hitting the gym a fair bit) in the centre of the ground doing tap work with a tag on the receiver. couldnt really see what was happening up the far end but it looked like they were practising forward 50 kicks towards goal to a team mate.
Towards the end they were all up the close end of the ground with defense trying to get the ball out and offence trying to lock it in.
There didnt seem anyone that was obviously on a modified program with Cotchin and Foley doing the whole sesion with the group. Polak also did the whole session. Saying that though Collins? seemed to have his left thumb pretty heavily taped and was hindering him somewhat when marking.
Also didnt see a lot of Simmo, he was out on the ground at one stage but didnt really see him doing any drills. Gilligan looks almost ready for a call up if we are looking at someone, smoth player and he looks like he is finally starting to learn the game. There was someone in the last drill that i couldnt name but looking at the RFC website i think it is Gourdis, if so this guy is a unit and i hope he makes the grade he had one of the best bodies in the team.
As they say in the classics. Thats all folks. And im sorry if i missed out on ayone they you may have wanted info on.

You did indeed have big shoes to fill but did so with aplomb.
thanks :cheers

Top reporting Jacosh :thumbsup :cheers

good to hear that foley is doing the whole session. perhaps he's on the mend?? though it would still be good if they take it slow with him. i dont' have any expectations on the season, so results isn't a concern for me.
-
Thanks Jacosh, top stuff, great to see Foley back in full training, how was he and Cotch moving??
-
Are you sure Foley was in full training? That would go against what many doomsayers have been saying of late re his injuries.

As an outsider looking in they looked fine.
If you hadnt heard anything you wouldnt think anything about seeing them out there.
-

It was only a 1hr training today with little to no contact and he went through the paces with everyone else.
He was running and kicking the ball as good as i would say normal. He had a few long shots at goal that didnt seem to hinder him at all.

Hi Jacosh
I was also at training today and Tyrone and Ben were both there. Ben didn't participate in any of the drills I can only assume he was in rehab due to his hand. Maybe you didn't recognise Tyrone because of the new haircut.

During the second drill Cotchin, Foley, Tuck were in the midfield group that was doing tap work.
Have to admit i didnt really see Tucky kicking but saw Cotchin and Foley have a few kicks and they looked alright to me.

They did start in a hanball drill off to the side. Now im questioning myself but im pretty sure i saw both Cotchin and Foley doing the Ruck drill. Did you see anything tiggytam
-
The guy on BF that said Cotch and Foley only did handball drills actually also said that him and his group arrived to training 1 hour after it started so thats probably why Jacosh.
-
According to BF, Newy on 3aw earlier tonight said Wednesday's training is at Craigieburn at 9.30am
UptheGuts on BF seems to agree more with Jacosh about Foley and Cotch.....
Cotch and axel ran around but mainly out of the main group. Andy collins had a protected left thumb and didn't use it at any stage - looked very sore. Rance also in the runners
http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showpost.php?p=16660620&postcount=361

He also goes on to say at the bottom of that BF post that Axel is a way off so he can't have done too much.
-
Cotch and Foley only did the hand drills, they then sat on the Grandstand while the main training session went on.
I disagree with one of the PRE posters views on Jake King, he obviously is not a fan, it annoys me greatly how people love to put the boots in before the season has even started.

I don't agree with either of you, this thread is titled "Tiger Training" not Training Reports Only. Why can't we ask when training is? There are a lot of people on this site that have inside news as to where and when training is and I have never seen it posted on the AFL site, not that its not.
This thread should cover everything it already does regarding training!!
Agree that people shouldn't be directly prompted for reports though.

"Polo was a noticeable player up forward."
I think thats a good sign, Dimma playing him in the correct position. Always thought he should be a forward not a half back flanker.
-
Great report by SS and thanks for the link OE. SS is a very good source and speaks fact from what I have known of him in the past, so it's very encouraging to read a report coming from him, sounds like we have a bit of cattle to work with down there.

Been training as a forward most of the pre season. ;)

How is Mitch Morton going? I read that he has bulked up considerably and is looking the goods. Sending bullett passes off to Newman at training last week or the week before.
Anyone think he is in for a big season? I think so and hope so. He is brilliant to watch, at times he just has this uncanny ability.
Any goss for my on Number 20? :thumbsup

Just got back from training at a very pleasant Craigieburn.
It was my first time at training this pre-season
I am intrested to see what regular watchers of training thought of today's session before I get to carried away ;D
Because I have to admit that I am not sure what to make of it to be honest. I came away a bit ... I don't know what the right word would be ... ;D
For mine the very good.... =
Very happy to see Hardwick stop training and get stuck into them for not following the rules (words I cannot repeat here as this is a family site ;D)
Happy to see the kids running around ...
Have to say Dustin Martin is going to be a GUN :yep :yep
Rapt to see Cotchin taking part in the match type drills and training with the main group
But not happy with some of the foot skills though... :banghead
Running laps of the main oval was Jackson and White
In the re-hab group on the other oval were Simmonds, Thursfield, Nason, and a few others who I couldn't recognise from where I was watching main training. Noticed that McGuane wasn't training either was Foley
Have a couple of photos that I will post later
-
Good on you WP, thanks a heap for the report... ;). God to hear about Martin and Cotchin too.
-
Cheers WP,
But not happy with some of the foot skills though... :banghead
Who were the main culprits?

In the re-hab group on the other oval were Simmonds
It said in yesterdays HUN that Simmonds sprained an ankle a couple of weeks back in an incident with Vickery. Vickery fell across it.

Does that accord with what you saw too WP?
Yes Con65 - it does. The talking amongst the group is something that certainly stands out
Absolutely agree with the "shank" disposal. Some of the kicking to a man was poor. Missing targets from 20 metres away when under no pressure was one of the things that bothered me... There were a couple of usual suspects but also a couple of the newbies that really need to work harder
As for the game plan - at times I thought they went far too wide when they made the transition out of the back 50. But hey that may just be me - I hate that style of footy. Hardwick did pull one player up for it I must admit ;D
Gourdis at FB was interesting - he was on Jack and I thought Jack had his measure.
Polo as a leading target across HF seemed to work well.
Edwards looked alot more at ease across HB than he did in 2009
Without Simmo in the ruck we seem to be lacking there at the moment.
Oh yeah Roberts went off with what looked like a calf injury

RT Is an imbecile.
"Watching match simulation you can really see the gameplan that Hardwick is trying to implement "
......no s iht !

WP thanks for the pictures and report/response...much appreciated.
-
Thanks all.
No smelling of roses at this stage. Going tobe a looooong year IMO.
-
Top reporting and pics WP :cheers
Great to hear Cotch is fully training :thumbsup.
Interesting to hear Goo was tried at FB. I would've thought his dodgy kicking wouldn't make him a backman. I still believe Edwards is too small to play back down there as well. With Polo moved forward it seems Hardwick is starting from scratch and will trial players in different positions this year to see how they will go.
Not surprised that our footskills are still an issue. That's something that's going to take a couple of years to fix as we turnover the list and sort out who can and can't kick.
Apart from Martin, did any of the other newbies impress you WP?
-
One name I don't think i've seen in any of the dispatches is Mcmahon. Any one shed any light on how he is travelling and where, if anywhere, Hardwick seems to have in mind for him.
Just to save some of you the trouble I'll put up the answer "Coburg" now.

He is obviously going ok otherwise I am sure we would of heard something about him.... :thumbsup

Roberts & Taylor silky skills
Was impressed with Astbury (or was it Dea ;D) skill wise but needs bulk and alot of it ;D
O'Reilly the irish kid is a very good kick for someone so new to the game - hit a target a couple of times from 40 metres.
Contin (well I am assuming it was Contin - they kepy calling him Paddy ;D) is quick and has fast hands but I noted Hardwick a couple of times told him to go harder at the contest and present.
Mitch Farmer gets it but kicking let him down

He was playing HB & mid field during the match drills. Still too skinny and his kicking at itmes was poor but there was more good kicks than bad ;D. His tackling is still a worry ....he doesn't tackle enough
-
Oh yeah.. was good to see Gilligan going well. Looks a lot fitter than 2009
And finally was very impressed with Post - did alot of the drills as a CHB and look great
-
did anyone go to training today?
they were training.
i went to the Australian Open today and parked at the MCG and noticed they were there.

Great stuff WP, you obviously took in more than your first report details..... which I might add was great.... so if you would like to elaberate more on the training session then I won't mind.... :lol :thumbsup
Great to hear Post and the rest of the players you mentioned performed well, gives me some more confidence that we will go a lot better than people think.. :shh

RT's report on BF from today. A guide to possibly our current best 18?
--------------------------------
Just got back from todays session which was a full scale practice match. The teams seemed to be a best available 18 versus the rest plus some Coburg players. The yellow team was:
B: Edwards Post Rance
HB: Newman Moore Tambling
C: McMahon Deledio Cousins
HF: Hislop Riewoldt Taylor
F: Morton Polak Polo
R: Graham Thomson Martin
Note: Graham Browne Vickery rotated through the ruck on both sides.
Whites were made up of everyone else with the exception of: Jackson Cotchin Foley McGuane Simmonds Nason Griffiths Roberts who were either in the rehab group or weren't training at all.

Cheers WP. Looking forward to seeing Contin in action as a number of people seem very impressed with him. As for Roberts I guess good skills is a strength of his whereas he needs to work on his fitness.

Not a side to get too enthused about at this stage. Seems Hardwick is focussed on at least a standard team structure with a spine built out of 3 tall defenders, 2 key forwards plus rotating rucks even if the quality isn't there yet. I still see Edwards as too small to be a defender. Not sure about Post at FB although he did play in defence at U18 level. One positive is Martin, Taylor, Post and Vickery from our last two drafts are already pushing first 18 going by that side. In time we'll probably have Griffs replace Polly and Cotch, Foley and Jacko taking over from Jordie, Thomson as mids.
-
Can anyone tell me how the Cous is going ???
Cousins looked to be in great shape and seemed to pretty much cruise through the match. There were a few uncharacteristic errors in disposal from him today, kicked one ball out on the full directly in front of me while a couple of other passes fell a little short, but in fairness all those kicks were into a pretty stiff breeze. For me I would love to see him being used as an impact player coming off the bench. With his gut running he would be a useful weapon in the second half of quarters when his opponents might be looking for a breather.

Top mark by Polly today btw :clapping.

Rance is freaking big and Moore has bulked up as well, actually can someone please explain to me why so far this pre season a lot of supporters on this site said our players had not bulked up or that they were still small. Hell I will even admit that Edwards has bulked up, out of the photo shoot I didn't really notice any really under developed players bar some of the kids like maybe Taylor and thats about it. Even Nason even looks good for his height.
But they are just my opinions and yes I know teams like Geelong have bohemeths but gee our blokes are not as bad as the crap they keep ketting.

While Foley faces a long stint on the sidelines his teammates have stepped up their pre-season campaign.
The players went through a match simulation yesterday with two umpires controlling play.
Graham Polak, Brett Deledio and new recruit Dustin Martin were standouts during the hour long session at Craigieburn.
The buffed up bodies of Alex Rance and Kelvin Moore were also noticeable.
Trent Cotchin didn't participate but was part of the kicking, marking and tackling drills.
Ben Cousins also did a separate sprint session.
Richmond meets Hawthorn in Launceston on February 13.

I know it was only against another 18 year old (Hicks wears #45?) but I liked the part where Martin was able to ride the bump with body and keep his balance over the ball.

Something from PRE from yesterday.

Popped down to a wet but warm Punt Rd Oval today. Jack and a few trainers had to pull the covers over the centre wicket when it started to bucket down lol. Training was meant to start at 11am but it didn't get away until around 11.30 and it lasted just over an hour. Not a long session with the intra-club match tomorrow arvo.
By the look of it virtually all the list was present. With a bigger list and so many new faces it's hard to keep track of them all. I didn't see Foley but he's having his op. In rehab were Jacko, McGuane, Roberts, Hicks and another I've missed I think (I'll have to check my photos).
Training began with some kick-to-kick in pairs and then a jog around the oval as a squad. They then split into their forward, midfield and backline groups. The forward group were near us at the Northern end goals so I paid attention mostly towards them. From the memory in the forward line group were Nahas, Jack, Morton, King, Hislop, Polo, Astbury, Nason, Taylor and Polak. They worked on leading up away from goal and marking then having to run back to where they came near goal to mark an incoming footy against a trainer with a bag. This was followed by kicking the ball to Tim Clarke 30m out of from goal who would hit the ball down to the ground and push with a bag the player who had to collect and then have a snap at the goals. We still have lots of work to do on the goal snaps :P (there was nowhere safe to stand on the Northern bank with the balls flying everywhere and a 4WD parked nearby belonging to one of the construction workers nearly ended up with a dent in its roof lol. The midfield group seemed to be working on one-on-one stuff around contests but like I said I was paying more attention to the forward line.
Next up was the squad as a whole working on spreading from the midfield. A player would receive a long kick near the goal line and then chip it sideways to someone about 15-20m away who would then pass 30m to someone else leading towards the boundary in front of Tim Clarke standing on the mark for the kick back towards the centre. Obviously as part of the (re-)education we've stripped things back to the basics.
Next was technical drill to keep players on their toes literally. Everyone paired up and by the look of it with both players on their toes one had to copy the lateral movement of the other pairing and then grapple on Hardwick's call. Hardwick was emphasizing to keep on your toes and push off your toes into the grapple tackle on each other.
The squad then spread out along the outer wing for run and carrying in numbers with support and then kicking long to leads. Our footskills will still get us into trouble this year (although to be fair it was raining fairly heavily at this stage) but Martin's left foot kick on the run along the boundary over 10 heads to hit the man he intended got the thumbs up from the few supporters nearby.
They finished off with some goalkicking and stretching but heading down to the Southern end for a goalkicking group bonding exercise. The usual thing with the player in the middle with the squad either side of him and he has a shot.
I've got some photos so hopefully they turned out. I'll post them later on. Fire away with any questions :).

Thanks MT
Is Polak wearing a helmet?
No mention of Griffiths- is he training?

Polak - no helmet today but there was no heavy full-on contact. I'd expect him to continue to wear a helmet during actual games.
I didn't notice Griffiths out there. I'll check my photos just in case I missed him.
-
I cant see a problem with anyone wearing a helmet, let alone someone who has the head injury like Polak has. Actually he is mad not to wear one. A collision like Rance was involved in would most likely end his career without a helmet on.

And a collision that could also risk Polly's life. Good to hear Dimma say Polly is doing better than expected and is a bonus player. Hopefully he can play most games this year so we have a big experienced body out there amongst the cubs.

Thanks for the report MT... :thumbsup. Do you think the players in the rehab group are actually injured or are we just taking precautionary measures with them?

Jacko has a slight hammy IIRC but by the look of it the others are precautionary especially the newbies who don't have the AFL fitness base yet. Roberts and Hicks were doing laps and short distance runs at the end of training.
ps. Mopsy, I checked my photos and Griffiths was out there training today :thumbsup.
-
Cotch was the fifth on in the rehab group btw but he was only there for a short while as we saw him training with the main squad. IIRC Hardwick said Cotch is doing 85% of training at the moment.

Not sure Tiggytam. Did he have an ankle injury at one stage late last year? I can't remember.

The rubber band drill

What is the rubber band drill?
-
What is the rubber band drill?
You pair up with one of those elastic strengthening ropes around the both of you. One player stands there like a post to give the rope resistance while his teammate chases after a footy that's getting knocked down to the ground after he handballs it back to a trainer or a third teammate. I'm guessing it's done to simulate getting the ball away cleanly while an opponent is holding onto to you or tackling you.
-
Thanks MT! Great report and pics! :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup
MT, how is Cuz travelling? no sign of any hammy issues?
-
Cheers MT.
Yeah, it's resistance training to build up leg strength, but combined with skills work.
Clever.
-
Thanks MT! Great report and pics! :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup
MT, how is Cuz travelling? no sign of any hammy issues?
Cuz is training fully and is his classy self on the park. I got a bit nervous when in the middle of a drill he suddenly walked over to the fence near us and started stretching his hammy. But he went straight back to the drill and completed the whole session. Touchwood we get a full season out of him this year now he's had a year in footy and another preseason behind him.

longer he stays at Richmond the more influential he can become in helping the younger players. All going well I can see him playing atleast 2 more seasons.

If Cuz's hammies can hold up then yep I agree Ramps he could play beyond this year. He showed last year he's still got it and he should be better off this year with a full preseason behind him. But as we know with over 30s it only takes one serious injury to end their career no matter how good their form still is. Richo found that out the hard way :(.

Its double sided training MT. Its used quite a bit in Rugby circles.
Firstly its for building up the core muscles (legs/midriff etc) used in tackling.
Secondly its to teach the player to keep running and not to just stop when you are trying to break a tackle or putting more pressure on when laying a tackle. Its very good for teaching players how to get up on their toes and keep pumping the legs, the proper technique will help a smaller player take down or at least hold someone of a larer stature.

I should be able to stay for about 40 minutes on Friday

I was down at Punt Road this mornig about 11.00am to pick up my new polo
Anyway the boys were training, I only watched for about 5 minutes
Funniest sight of the day was the seeing scoreboard end of the ground being underwater...
It meant they they couldn't train on the entire ground. I would say 1/3 of the ground was out of action ;D

According to BF they did 10 mins goalkicking practice.
Andy Collins said he's definitely playing on Sat and Cotch was limping thru the carpark, but he didn't look restricted, could just be his walk or a bit of soreness??
Cotchin was pushing Graham's car with Graham inside dancing the music he had on. Cotch looked fine pushing it, and refused one bloke's offer to help. Fwiw.

Just don't throw footballs at them as they will probably drop them.... :thumbsup

Cool. I will be there.
Bents, can you find out how far away McGuane is. We need all the size we can get down back.

if anyone is heading down today, could you keep a very very very very very close EYE on Ben Griffiths!
Griffiths, Foley, Jackson, Simmonds and McGuane!
i am guessing Troy Taylor will not be training. doesn't he have his court hearing in 2 days time?
those five players i would like to have full reports on!
ROFL!
sorry guys! after Saturday Night, my worry is in the midfield and forward structure ... which has always been the worry really!

Richmond Tigers go back to basics
* Jay Clark
* From: Herald Sun
* February 16, 2010 11:37AM
RICHMOND has got to work on the poor foot skills that plagued it during the 73-point loss to Hawthorn on Saturday night.
Clearly signalling his concern, coach Damien Hardwick made the Tigers do basic kicking drills for the bulk of this morning’s hour-long training session.
Groups of young players were made to retain possession with simple 20m chip passes from the backline while opponents applied defensive pressure.
But, as was the case against the Hawks, many kicks missed their targets, illustrating the massive challenge facing Hardwick and his young Tigers this season.
Richmond was made $3.25 favourite with Eskander's Betstar to win the wooden spoon after Saturday night’s loss to the Hawks.
Club leaders have called for patience this season as the club again looks to rebuild with youth from the draft.
However, amid the wreckage of Saturday night’s defeat, there was a significant positive in the blistering form of NAB Rising Star favourite Dustin Martin.
The midfielder trained well this morning although fellow midfielder Trent Cotchin did not participate in the main outdoor session at Punt Road as Richmond continues to carefully managing the injury-plagued onballer.
Brett Deledio came off the track early with a blood lip but there was little concern.
Veterans Troy Simmonds and Ben Cousins also completed training.
Tagger Daniel Jackson and defender Jake King did not join their teammates on the track but completed light kicking drills by themselves after the main session.
Neither appeared to be affected by injury.

I went down to watch training this morning. You've got to love the media for contorting what happens at training into what they want to report. More on that later.
Rehab group:
Griffiths - ran a number of laps. He didn't appear to have any noticeable injury so maybe they are just trying to get his fitness up after missing a fair bit of footy last year.
Nason - jogged a lap and then walked a couple more. He's got a compression bandage around the knee. He kicked the ball with the opposite leg so he can put his bodyweight on the crook leg.
Jacko and Kingy - did the same program together. Jogged a few laps, did some 30-50m sprinting and then did some kick to kick after the main squad had finished training.
As for those who had been in the rehab group - McGaune and Thursty trained fully so I'm presuming they'll play in our next practice match in Yea.
Onto training itself. The first drill had the squad split into groups of 3-4 players around various points of the ground where you had to kick to the advantage side of a teammate from another group. I was behind the Northern end goal so you passed from near the goal-line to someone else who was leading to the forward pocket. This player would then hit a lead to the HFF and that player would then pass inside back to the corridor and so on with a ball being kicked back to the someone in the first group by the goal to start again. Yeah the footpassing was average from the same old same olds who we know can't kick but any journo could have said the same thing over past years as well. Hardly a revelation. The media acting as though this was the first Richmond training session they had ever turned up to :sleep.
Most of the rest of the session had the squad split in defence (Southern end of the ground), midfield/rucks (far wing), and forwards (Northern end) groups. The forward group near me consisted off Jack (vocal as ever instructing the others), Morton, Nahas, Roberts, Hislop. I think Thomson was out there too but I could be wrong.
For the next drill each group did the same thing which was the retaining of possession with 20-30m chip passes while opponents applied defensive pressure that the media were talking about. Basically it was keepings off as there were no marks paid. It was always plan on. Each group had 3 guys trying to spoil or force a bad kick. Once a mistake was made those players involved became the chasers.
Next up the defence, midfield/ruck and forwards group performed drills specific to their position. So the forwards worked on defensive pressure and a rolling zone from an opponents kick-in. Jack was constantly talking and pointing fingers instructing the zone. Basically a kick-in would go to one pocket and the zone would push over and then the next kick would go back across to the other side and the zone would follow. The midfielders concentrated on stoppage work at ball-ups and tackling. Simmo, Vickery, Gus and Browne were all involved. Even Lade joined in. At one stage we had the coaches up against the mids at stoppages which was kind of funny. I'm not sure exactly sure what the backline group was doing. It looked like they were trying to loop long kicks over a teammate's head so they could mark without stopping.
And that was about it for most of the squad who went inside. The rucks stayed out along with Collins and a couple of other small mids to do more tap and stoppage work with Brendon Lade. Contin did about 10 minutes worth of reflex handballs with a trainer. Jacko and Kingy stayed out longer to do some sprinting work as I mentioned.
Photos to come later on. Any questions fire away :cheers.

awesome MT!
Alex Rance and Troy Taylor???
Alex Rance: did he train? and did Hardwick speak to him during training? not a good sign if he was sub-off during the second quarter.
Troy Taylor: did he train? isn't his court hearing or something on Thursday?
you mentioned about our forward group, any other talls apart from Riewoldt worked with the forward group?
:)
-
Thanks MT, top report. :thumbsup
-
Fantastic report MT! The media never let the truth get int he way of a good story now do they ::)
Great to see Hardwick ensuring he addresses fundamental problems immediately rather than just hope they go away. Until he can get rid of those players you mentioned we will just have to cope with some of these errors unfortunately.

MT, there lies the problem.
Why do they practice kicking the ball 20-30 metres at training for ?????
Tell you what happens on match day, they try and kick the ball 20-30 metres.
You know my past history and I have watched all clubs for years, except Richmond, Can tell you that Geelong and others are successfull for a reason.

Thanks OE for the photos, geat to see them working the stoppages, looks like one of the areas we failed in on Saturday night is being addressed.

Yes Rance and Taylor were out there. Taylor was in the forward line group. His hearing is on Thursday Feb 18 IIRC. I only saw Rance once in the first drill. Presumably he was with the backline group who were at the other end of the ground from where I was. I didn't see Hardwick talk to Alex specifically but that's no to say he hasn't since Saturday night.
The forward talls were Jack, Polak, Astbury and Westhoff now I've checked my photos. Griffiths ran laps as mentioned.

I agree they should kick longer and move the ball faster Jack especially out of defence but the frightening fact is the 20-30m "Robert Harvey" kick should be a bread and butter kick at AFL level and too many of our blokes can't be relied on to do it. Even when you look at them just kick from point A to point B the receiver too often either has to change direction, stop and prop, or marks the ball on the non-advantage side which in a real game would be spoiled by an opponent. Add to that too many kicks are slow up and unders out of the backline which hold up and make it too easy for the opposition to reach the footy.
Off the top of the head you can easily rattle off 10 or more Tigers who are poor-to-unreliable kicks mostly due to them not having a sound kicking technique... Polly, Polo, McGuane, Rance, Tuck, Jacko, King, Hislop, Thomson, Gourdis, White, Browne.
-
Was there any positives out of the training MT, no offence, your reports are great and really identify the same players that are letting us down and they must improve, alas I don't think the ones you have named can.
What about skill of Roberts, Taylor etc.. did anyone elso stand out that we can pin our future hopes on the may just sneak in to round one?....

Roberts' footskills look okay from the little of him I've seen while Taylor made a couple of blues today against the rolling zone but that was more due to poor decision making (telegraphed a kick that needed to be pinpoint). His kicking in the intra-club looked fine.
This year is a development year (footy speak for a total write-off). There's so many issues we need to deal with as a side both as a team and as individuals, it'll take more than 12 months and at least another cleanout at the end of the season to start seeing them being corrected. Hardwick just needs to spend this year teaching and weeding out those who can't follow basic team strategy, who can't kick reliably enough, who continually make the same poor decisions with the footy, and those who can't win enough of footy to influence a game positively for the team.

Cheers MT, thought as much (sigh), never mind lots of positives to look forward to... :thumbsup

correct.
Plus we dont spread enough when we have possesion.
We have too many players in close proximty to the ball carrier, thus we have no option to kick short.
BAD GAME PLAN

And yet when Collins spreads and goes forward then gets caught on the rebound by a crap kick you hook into him?

How can a player spread and provide an option up field yet remain accountable at the same time?

Yes, you sure can , try and get to the nearest opponnent or tell a teammate to get back on his man,
Something that Will Thursfield and McGaune surprising do very well, McGaune especially.

Excellent report and pics MT & OE! :thumbsup :bow
I have one question.....any work on the Protected zone?? :rollin :rollin
Stupid Friggin rule..
I propose that if a player accidentally finds himself in the AFL's equivalent of Sarajevo, that he lies down and plays dead wombat style until the snipers leave the area. Either that or we go for a new cammo strip or sophisticated cloaking devices proudly supplied by Dick Smith! I thinks thats the only way we can survive this hellish rule!!! :banghead
-
awww i don't like seeing WAT upset!
From what i can tell, Jack is some immense faultless football guru... So i'll conceed that i don't know as much about the game as you do. Having said that how on earth can you be critical of a game plan that is being executed by footballers with questionable size and skill (not Hardwicks fault). As well as having numerous new players, in a NAB cup, against one of the best drilled sides in the comp.
It appears to me that Hardwick is intending to develop a simple instinctive game plan, only match day practice is going to make it cohesive.
But then what do i know...
-
Cool. I will be there.
Bents, can you find out how far away McGuane is. We need all the size we can get down back.
I ended up sleeping in. :(
when is next training @ punt road ?

You obviously know enough, and you are dead right, we cannot bag a game plan that has had one run against a premiership contender, the players need to adapt and that will take time. :thumbsup

Not sure about Punt Rd. They could be training there Friday morning but I'm not sure. Saturday 8.30am at Highgate is the word going around for those who can't make weekday training sessions.

Tell you what happens on match day, they try and kick the ball 20-30 metres.
You know my past history and I have watched all clubs for years, except Richmond, Can tell you that Geelong and others are successfull for a reason.
Jack we cant practise kicking long until we start hitting targets under pressure over 20-30 metres. Can't build the world in the day.
No, what they are trying to acheive is near impossible,
The game plan is based on kicking through congestion, and kicking the ball 20 metres through congestion and moving the ball through the "'cluster/zones "'It dont work and it certainly didnt work sat night, hasnt work for 5 years .
Watch Geelong or any of the good sides kick into space to the advantage of team mates.
We kick into congestion only to have the ball turnovered.
The room for error when kicking into space and not in congested play isnt as critcial.
Can tell you this, every AFL can hit up a players from 20 metres, place 3 obstacles in his path and they fail.

I wouldn't say every AFL player based on some Richmond players' footskills and their dicey kicking technique :help. If kicks are falling short or going wide at training then there's no surprise they can't hit targets during a game where there are obstacles in the shape of a rolling opposition zone. Footy is moving in the direction Soccer did where kids coming into the AFL will need elite footskills on both sides of the body. Martin is the modern prototype. With the elite fitness of modern footballers and mass interchanges the speed of the modern player stays at a high level that oppositions can easily pick off an average kick that doesn't go to advantage let alone a heap of clangers like we produce every game that fall short, go wide or go over the head of a teammate even in the clear :P.
Our off the ball team skills are the worst in the league as well which just multiplies our error rate and goal coasting turnovers. As you said Jack we just don't spread. Now I've seen them practice spreading at training under Hardwick so it's not as though they no longer know what they need to do. Once out on the park against real opposition obviously old unaccountable slack habits die hard :-\.
-
Nothing mindblowing but according to Nathan Thompson on SEN earlier today Richmond's inability to control and maintain the footy by hitting up targets 20m away is our greatest weakness. If you can't control your possession then in today's footy you're stuffed. So he essentially agrees with Hardwick's back to junior footy clinic style training practising 20m passes.

I went down to watch training this morning. You've got to love the media for contorting what happens at training into what they want to report. More on that later.
Rehab group:
Griffiths - ran a number of laps. He didn't appear to have any noticeable injury so maybe they are just trying to get his fitness up after missing a fair bit of footy last year.
Nason - jogged a lap and then walked a couple more. He's got a compression bandage around the knee. He kicked the ball with the opposite leg so he can put his bodyweight on the crook leg.
Jacko and Kingy - did the same program together. Jogged a few laps, did some 30-50m sprinting and then did some kick to kick after the main squad had finished training.
As for those who had been in the rehab group - McGaune and Thursty trained fully so I'm presuming they'll play in our next practice match in Yea.
Onto training itself. The first drill had the squad split into groups of 3-4 players around various points of the ground where you had to kick to the advantage side of a teammate from another group. I was behind the Northern end goal so you passed from near the goal-line to someone else who was leading to the forward pocket. This player would then hit a lead to the HFF and that player would then pass inside back to the corridor and so on with a ball being kicked back to the someone in the first group by the goal to start again. Yeah the footpassing was average from the same old same olds who we know can't kick but any journo could have said the same thing over past years as well. Hardly a revelation. The media acting as though this was the first Richmond training session they had ever turned up to :sleep.
Most of the rest of the session had the squad split in defence (Southern end of the ground), midfield/rucks (far wing), and forwards (Northern end) groups. The forward group near me consisted off Jack (vocal as ever instructing the others), Morton, Nahas, Roberts, Hislop. I think Thomson was out there too but I could be wrong.
For the next drill each group did the same thing which was the retaining of possession with 20-30m chip passes while opponents applied defensive pressure that the media were talking about. Basically it was keepings off as there were no marks paid. It was always plan on. Each group had 3 guys trying to spoil or force a bad kick. Once a mistake was made those players involved became the chasers.
Next up the defence, midfield/ruck and forwards group performed drills specific to their position. So the forwards worked on defensive pressure and a rolling zone from an opponents kick-in. Jack was constantly talking and pointing fingers instructing the zone. Basically a kick-in would go to one pocket and the zone would push over and then the next kick would go back across to the other side and the zone would follow. The midfielders concentrated on stoppage work at ball-ups and tackling. Simmo, Vickery, Gus and Browne were all involved. Even Lade joined in. At one stage we had the coaches up against the mids at stoppages which was kind of funny. I'm not sure exactly sure what the backline group was doing. It looked like they were trying to loop long kicks over a teammate's head so they could mark without stopping.
And that was about it for most of the squad who went inside. The rucks stayed out along with Collins and a couple of other small mids to do more tap and stoppage work with Brendon Lade. Contin did about 10 minutes worth of reflex handballs with a trainer. Jacko and Kingy stayed out longer to do some sprinting work as I mentioned.
Photos to come later on. Any questions fire away :cheers.

I think you'll find that against Hawthorn there is simply no space to kick to adavantage, that's what the zone counteracts.
Wallace's gameplay against the zone was to try and go around it by quickly switching play to opposite sides of the ground kicking sidewards and backwards until the zone was pressed to one side of teh ground enough to then counter on the opposite side. It never worked just made us kick sidewards and backwards alot and waste energy leading in the middle of the ground and turn the ball over in defence.
Hardwick knows the weaknesses of the zone and is working with the plan to find the small 20m gaps to weave through it. Sydney to it perfectly and Hawthorn do it well when an oppostion zone against them.
If you go long against a zone press you'll kick to a 2on3 contest every time even if there is a space 40m ahead its impossible to create play that way against a zone.
We start to improve our 20-30m passing and start hitting targets in that range at a high percentage under pressure we get out hands on the ball more often and keep it for longer. Any team can run and carry the ball whilst counter attacking on a break, its how you do under pressure in congestion that we need work on and thus we're doing so.
For that reason I'm wrapped.

To be fair Wallace coached a win against the Hawks in their Premiership winning season by kicking long over the zone and relying on our players to win the contested ball
-
that is actually the most important factor in beating the zone, win the contested ball. If they're winning the ball and attacking first, they just setup behind the ball carrier so that when you do win back the ball they are ready. Adelaide perfected play against the zone last season and after geelong prob played it the best. Has to be a mixture of very quick sharp transitional play and PLENTY of overlap/options to confuse those in the zone downfield. Hence solid footskills over 20-30 metres will be required no compromises!
Unfortunately as a rule, our defensive unit as a whole has never really been known as a running/overlap type unit which is why we look so lost against zones. No linebreakers! hello newman/mcguane/moore/thursfield. We need the likes of tambling/connors/edwards/webberley/dea, even mcmahon! (clutcing at straws?) and other hard runners to have the balls to stand up defensively bc offensively these are the guys that have the game to take n and break the zone up. Newman needs to get out of the defensive zone, doesnt run hard enough. Players like mcmahon, edwards and webberley show they have the run but do they have the defensive qualities, must be able to shutdown, otherwise will get exposed like both mcmahon/King and edwards were last season

@mightytiges; if you go to training this week could you look out for Astbury and see if he is training or in the rehab group? Has missed the last 2 praccy matches and obviously the info was correct on him being injured. Does anyone know if it is definately his heel? Have heard somewhere else that it might be his calf. Thanks in advance MT.

Good to see Griffiths is doing training. He and Lids look like twins with both left shoulders strapped up.
Everything you see Martin you've got to remind yourself he's in his first year and yet to play a game. Size wise looks like he's been around 3 years already.

You not missing too much with this one Stripes. It is just a short "walked by" type report from herewegotigers...
Checked out some training today , Foley was doing some hand balling with the boys and some work with a medicine ball whilst placing pressure on the ankle. Would say he's a fair way off.
As for training the boys practice set plays from the back line over and over again.
It will be a long year but you all know that already. Think we are looking at about 3-4 wins

The tigers trained at punt road today whilst practicing some match stimulation then splitting into three groups.
Whatever it takes to win i guess, but i would much rather them have match simulation. :rollin

I just got back from training. The squad consisted of 29 players, which obviously will have to be cut to 22. In numerical order, those training were:
Thursfield-Deledio-Simmonds-Polak-Riewoldt-Cotchin-(did 85% of the light session)-Edwards-Polo-Farmer-McGuane-Newman-Rance-Connors-Morton-Jackson-Collins-Nahas-Hislop-Vickery-Tambling-Thomson-Cousins-White-Martin-Griffiths-(yep,he did the full session)-Astbury(ditto)-Moore-Nason-Roberts.
The group trained for just under an hour, getting around to end-to-end stuff, and finishing with goalkicking.After the others had gone in Astbury Griffiths and Collins stayed out with someone I was told was a rehab trainer, and kept passing and competing with one another in a wide circle for another 15-20 minutes.
More good news I was given, was that Nathan Foley was running, kicking and twisting and turning yesterday, and looked really solid. :thumbsup
-
Thanks Rolls Royce
-
Did anyone besides cotchin not do the whole session, or look restricted in their training RR?

No, it was only a light session as you'd expect, and everybody got through it. The really good news was that Astbury and Griffiths both did the full session.

which i suppose suggests that a player deemed unfit to play tomorrow could have got through the session ok to.

As we play the Doggies Sunday twilight :P I would say the last session would be next Saturday morning. Not sure where (possibly Punt Rd) or if it will be open to the public. No info on the RFC site yet.

I went to training yesterday (Tuesday). The only absentees were Connors for obvious reasons and Gilligan. I was told Connors may play either this or next week for Coburg (still barred from Richmond training for the 6 weeks). Gilly is still back in WA. I heard today from someone that a relative close to him was dying which is why he is back there but don't know if that's true. All I knew was he was back home for personal reasons.
As far as rehab Simmo, Cotch and Jacko hardly trained. All 3 weren't included in any drills that included aerobic running. While the main squad trained they did some handballing and boxing between themselves. Simmo and Jacko in the last 20 minutes joined in the midfield group for the close-in stoppage/clearance drills. Cuz sat out the last 20 mins. All will play. Thursty told a friend of mine he'll be back this week. Newy did a fitness test before training and then trained. He said he was fine.
For the main squad they worked in their separate three lines - defence, mids and forwards. The forwards spent most of the session doing handball keepings off between themselves with just 10 minutes of goalkicking at the end. The mids worked on stoppage plays while the backline group worked on close-in clearances from defensive 50 with a long kick outside the 50 over the head of a teammate who would mark with the flight of the ball and then switch with the long kick to the opposite flank.
Mids - Dusty, Foley, Cuz, Collo, Edwards, White, Hislop, Thomo, Jordie, O'Reilly, Vickery, Browne, Gus plus Simmo and Jacko (last 20 mins)
Forwards - Jack, Astbury, Morton, Blingers, Taylor, Griffiths, Westhoff, Polak, Gourdis, Rance, Nahas, Roberts, Kingy
Backs - McGuane, Will, Moore, Newy, Lids, Farmer, Tucky, Polo
I can't remember exactly what group Dea and Webbs were. I think Dea was in defence and webberley the midfield. Postie was out there too but I only saw him when he went past us at the start and end of training.
-
Thanks MT.

. Gilly is still back in WA. I heard today from someone that a relative close to him was dying which is why he is back there but don't know if that's true.
this is true :thumbsup
-
my aunty was dying 3 yrs ago, died 6 months ago
when i was 12 my dad wa stold he was dying and had 3 months to live, he eventually died when i was 16, 4 yrs later.
lets hope with alll due respect, who ever it is that is dying ...... well u know what im saying
-
thx for the report MT, is that new this season that the mids, backs and forwards all train seperately? and interesting to see that Lids has been grouped with the defenders, I like this move, I reckon he needs a challenge and will free him from the attention he attracts in the midfield

They usually do spend quite a lot of training time in each of their "lines" but not for the whole session as they did on Tuesday. Mind you it wasn't the main training session for the week (main one was today's closed session) so the whole squad probably trained together today.
I'd like Lids in the midfield too but with the enforced suspensions Lids was pushed behind ball. Lids was basically quarterback for us against Melbourne in the first half and set up many attacks. it seems Hardwick wants to use Lids in that role again at Subi.

Seems normal
Fly over the day before = 1 hour flight so they dont need to leave until Sat arvo around 2.00pm.
Play Sunday arvo and fly home Sunday night
Personally I am doing the hit 'n' run trip.
Fly over Sunday morning and fly home Sunday night ;D
-
don't forget your Adelaide disguise, mullet, 80's clothing, stubbie holder, thongs, etc... don't look anyone in the eye or they think your a threat and may attack.

Don't forget to wear your moccosins with no socks.
Remember to show that toothless smile for the camera.

Well lets hope the hell he stays that way, trains hard, gets a few more games in before the end of the year and shows something. Then lets hope he keeps off the home food during the pre-season, if he does all this look out next year IMO, this guy will break the competition open next year IMO!!!

I popped into Punt Rd this morning to watch training. A light session which isn't too surprising given the 6-day break and coming off the hard slog in the rain and mud last week. All the boys did was a bit of kick-to-kick, some marking over bags and a bit of goalkicking.
I didn't notice McGuane, Cuz and Cotch there today but I may have just missed them as I was talking to friends and concentrating more on who outside of last week's side trained with the squad - Thursty, Simmo, Rance, Morton, Post, Contin and Connors. Connors is a week away of course. Interesting that Contin was there.
Simmo was given a round of applause at the end of training and lead the boys up the race into the rooms.
-
Thanks for the update, MT. Is Contin one of those outside mids that Dimma said we need during his On The Couch interview on Monday night?

Contin is more inside mid than outside to me at 183cm, 83kg. He also played across HB in our practice match against Collingwood earlier in the year. He looked to have good footy smarts and decent skills. Probably needed to work on his fitness and do some speed work like Axel did. I liked him from the few games I've seen him play since joining us.

He's always going to be on the solid bulky side. Relts is no JON lol. It's whether he/us can improve his endurance not only to last 4 quarters but also to get from contest to contest so he finds the ball.

I popped down to training this morning at Punt Rd Oval. Bloody freezing :-X but they still trained for the best part of 2 hours.
9 absentees today:
McGuane - saw him briefly walking about inside the rooms.
Jackson (?)
Hislop - LTIL
Thomson (?)
Moore - will be tested at training on Thursday. If he gets through that he'll play.
Foley - ankle still playing up
Dea - foot injury. Walked out for a few minutes at the end to watch training. Seemed to have a slight limp.
Taylor (?)
Westhoff (?)
Polak training fully and with no helmet. He didn't appear to have problems out there.
The warm-up was lengthy as you'd expect on a cold day. Don't need anyone pulling a hammy or whatever. Good voice and enthusiasm (Jack's voice you can't miss) yelling out to the group to not go easy and be lazy (ie. make sure leg lifts went as high as possible etc).
On training itself there was a lot of game specific work especially to counter the Swans scrummage rugby gamestyle and also if Sunday turns out to be wet.
They started off with forming small circles and rolling the ball towards each other to gather off the ground. This was followed by three separate groups whereby the first group near us would form attacker/defender pairs and the ball would be rolled 20m along the ground towards the boundary and the attacker had to gather and while be corralled hit a trainer 25m along the boundary line or 25m back inside towards the corridor. Benny Gale who was explaining the drill to some visitors said the drill was also designed to teach the defender how to pressure but no overcommit and get dodged around too easily. The second group on the outer wing were lined up in a row and each player took turns to bust through about four bags being thumped against them and then dish off a handpass to the trainer waiting at the end. The last group also formed attacker/defender pairs and each would face each other pushing the other in the chest and upper arms and then the attacker would gather a ball along the ground.
Next up the group came together to work on stoppages particularly ball-ups. They had 20 or os around the ball so very Swans' gamestyle like.
The rest of training was more standard full ground rebounding work we normally do combined with 1-on-1s match-ups right across the park.
This was a public session btw so we're obviously going into the game with nothing to hide.
Any questions just fire away :cheers
ps. Griffiths is a big boy when he stands next to you :o.

According to BF the public training session this week is on Friday at 11am.
-
I called in to training today as I was in Melbourne on my annual winter pilgrimage down south. There were people everywhere. Then I found out from the security guy on the gate that there was a clinic being held after training. Must have been 2-3 hundred people at the ground.
Training was light and shortish. It would have only been about 50 minutes from start to finish. Cotch and Connors didn't join in training, but both looked to be moving OK during some handball drills and some shots at goal. Polo, Nahas and Morton joined in full training.
After warm ups and some in-close drills, the forwards went to the punt road end and the backs and mids went to middle of the ground and practised spreading from a huddle and hitting targets 50 metres away. The ball then got moved around the wing to one of the forwards who were leading, while a couple of the coaches blocked the leading players. The second drill was practising moving the ball from defence, first with just a few defenders (less than six) and later with almost equal teams. Each drill finished with a lead and mark from a forward. It was good to see that whenever there was a mistake in a switch of play or a bad pass, the drill was stopped and they analysed what went wrong before starting again. They were running pretty interesting patterns and each player had a space to break and spread to.
I went around to the Brunton Ave wing and watched the big guys do some marking practice taking hangers on a padded coach. Angus, Ty, Jack, Astbury, Griffiths took turns marking kicks from Lade. Thursty was out there as well and showed that he could take a mark if there was enough encouragement. Ben Griffiths can run, jump and take a mark! Gus wasn't all that bad either, but it seems that Ty has got a bit of work to do. He was the least impressive mark to me.
Dunno what the rest of the group was doing in front of the grandstand while the marking practice was taking place, I didn't watch.
I haven't been to training since this time last year and it was a really different session to watch than under the old mob. The coaches were out there involved in the drills, stopping things when the players didn't do it right and the training was a lot more structured and interesting. This was a very light and short session, but it was a lot more professional than I've seen in the past.
(Edit) Oh, also I thought it was very interesting that Lids didn't have any strapping on his elbow, or if he did, it was invisible to me.
-

-
Cheers for report Muscles :cheers
Good to hear Lids is okay. Fingers crossed Cotch is okay as he hardly trained yesterday either :-\ :pray.
It's interesting in recent weeks we are doing more match and oppostion specific training now at training compared to earlier in the season. Looks like Dimma and the coaching staff are more confident the list understands the basic concepts he wanted to introduce initially and now can step up training to involve more specfic tactics. Last week they focused on stoppages, tackling and close-in work for the Swans game. Going by your report Muscles it sounds like we expect a more open running game against the Dockers on the fast-track of Etihad.

I went past Punt Rd this arvo and Connors and McGuane were out there by themselves. Dan was doing heaps of 200m sprints along the boundary then had a kick of the footy with a trainer. Luke was doing a few straight-line 150s.

Not 100% sure but sounds like they may have had a time trial today. Also some of the boys catching up again for dinner.

I noticed that I didn't notice Troy Taylor.

Be nice to see any kind of natural football ability from Dea as he's certainly a well built athlete.

You're a champion OE! :thumbsup The Monday session you think...I'll try and get the day off :cheers
-
Something interesting I noted from your youtube vision OE, was the leadership Lids provided. He was the first to break and offer encouragement to the others after the run. I also noted how Dusty shadowed him everywhere he went and the two paired up quite a bit. When Lids went over to the others, Dusty immediately followed.

I asked the Club to make sure Stripes and they are also saying it'll be most likely the Monday after the draft (Nov 22).

Nice to read a training report but it was very positive. I've become a bit cynical went it comes to positive training reports. Somehow they lose a lot of credibility. Become a bit of a fluff story.

Every year its the same positive stuff from the reports at training...........I love it!!!!
Go Rance...... ;D

Good first up session for the week about 8.5 or 9km all up! some boys did bit more. big Jacky Roo back so smiles on fans faces!!!!!!!!!!!

watching training today. They trained for at least 2.5 hours in midday 30 degree heat :P.
RFC regulars present and did the full training were:
Thursty, Lids, Martin, Cotch (looks super fit and able to do full training now :thumbsup ), Newman, Rance, Morton, Tuck, Nahas, Vickery, Gourdis, Browne, White, Post, O'Reilly, Dea, Contin, Hicks and Westhoff. Rance is ripped while Browne looks to have trimmed down a touch - perhaps to improve his mobility.
Of the newbies:
Houli and Miller did the whole session.
Batchelor, Helbig, MacDonald and Derickx participated at the start and end of training with the main group. They stayed out of the tactical gameplay drills. While that was going on they did half a dozen 200m runs around the outer side of Punt Rd Oval. Helbig and Derickx look the most likely to push for a debut next year. MacDonald is solid but his fitness is behind the others. Conca didn't do much as he's coming back from injury IIRC. A lap at the most with one of the trainers.
Some Coburg ring-ins as well - Jakobi, Clifton, Kadhlefelt, Jones(?) and BF saying Fewster as well.
Astbury only did the warm-up and Jack did some goalkicking before the others started. They were both walking around fine in the stands later on in their training gear signing autographs.
Gus' ankle has flared up again so he hardly trained and went inside the rooms early.
Farmer and Nason I saw appear near the end of training watching.
I didn't see Connors, Griffiths, Foley, Moore, Edwards, Taylor at all.
As far as training itself they began with a warm-up including short-stepping through ladder rope before the footys were brought out. It looked like they were working on 1-on-1 and zonal tactics. and working on hitting-up teammates who found space in a zone or if the down the line kick wasn't on then switching back and across to the other side. This was first done with kicks only and then handball only with the 'attacking' side (green singlets0) maintaining possession from the defenders (red singlets). I was talking with friends so I didn't keep an eye on all the drills. As happened last year there were at time specific drills for the forwards, mids and defenders. Training finished with some running. A couple of 800s and then finished off with a km run. Whitey, Cotch, Hicks, Houli and Lids finished top 5 most times. Martin was really struggling and needing to push himself in the final lap of the km run and finished 2nd last ahead of a Coburg player. Obviously as Dimma said in the Fighting Tiger, Dusty needs to improve his outside game which means improving his endurance running.
Any questions fire away. Pics to come.

It was Definantly Fewster there MT, i asked Brendan Lade after training about him and he said it was him!

Nah i didnt see him mate and i was looking for him to see if he had improved but both me and THE_GUN couldnt find him!

Thanks guys for your reports. What was the story with Dusty and Cotch? Dusty sounds like he is miles off the pace with his endurance - makes it hard for him break packs, find space or move away from the stoppages otherwise. I hope he can improve this quickly.
The injury to Gus could come at a worse time for him if the new ruckman steps up...
How about the 2nd string players such as White, Edwards, King, Dea etc? Any word on them?

Dusty is fine, it seems the club is just really pushing him so he improves his endurance! he was fine today but he was puffing by the end, keep in mind it was 30 degrees they were training in!
There will be no 2nd year blues for Dusty, he's in great nick!
Kingy didnt compete training today but he did come out and was having a kick, he is fine, i think today was his gym day! He has some nice ink on his left arm and back, didnt think it was possible but it has to make him atleast 20% tougher!
Dea looked good! was working hard he just needs to show he can dominate VFL and he will be straight in! really strong build and powerful legs!

how much bigger does rance
look from last season?

Rance is looking in phenominal shape!
IMO he has the best build for a footballer we have!
His kicking today was really very very good and his fitness is up the top of the club! Its a make or break year for Alex but boy does he have himself in prime shape to have a serious crack at season 2011!

I remember thinking the same thing last year :'( He is such an athetic machine but its his footsmarts he really needs to improve. I hope the more drills and repeative training using the game plan will really benefit him. That and staying in the same position all year regardless of the competition level. Any thoughts from anyone where can you see him playing next year???

I'd just like to add MT, that Foley was out there before 11:00. When I arrived at about 10:30 he was with a group doing some competitive in-tight drills.

Mighty Tiges, our friend was talking about us all having a catch-up lunch at Silvio's in Bridge Rd. either Sat 18th or Sun 19th Dec. Can you make it, and which day suits?

Training today was pushed back earlier today than advertised to try and avoid the rain which bucketed down. I spoke to someone who went. Foley is still in cotton wool and trained indoors. Griffiths was out on the ground having a kick. Today was mostly about showing off Houli and Miller to the media.

Tigers excel around the Tan
* Bruce Matthews
* From: Herald Sun
* January 05, 2011 11:24AM
SEVEN players recorded personal best times today when Richmond became the latest AFL club to resume training following the Christmas-New Year break.
Tigers coach Damien Hardwick said he was delighted with the physical and mental attitude of his players to start the preparations leading to next month's NAB Cup competition.
Midfielder-forward Matt White won the time trial around the 3.8km Botanical Gardens Tan in an impressive 13min 12sec.
And the coaching staff were delighted to see a leaner Jack Riewoldt among the early finishers to the gut-busting first test of the new year.
Riewoldt has shed kilos to become more agile in a bid to play further up the ground this season.
Trade acquisition Brad Miller, who has already impressed the Tigers with his leadership qualities, backed up the talk with a solid finish among the leading pack and the former Demon looked fit and eager for his second AFL start.
Notable absentees included midfielders Trent Cotchin and Nathan Foley who didn't risk recent achilles tendon and ankle injuries on the Tan's hard surface.
Hardwick said the pair were training with the rest of the group at Punt Road Oval and were on track to be ready for the opening round.
He said the Tigers' coaching group had discussed the new substitute system to be introduced by the AFL this season and first used during the NAB Cup. All clubs are waiting to be briefed by the league on exactly how the interchange innovation will work.

A bit more from Dimma in the following Sportal article:
* Between Brad (Miller), Bachar (Houli) and Shaun (Grigg) we've been really happy with the guys we've brought in over the course of the summer, they're going to play a lot of football for this club," Hardwick said.
* Matthew White clocked 13 mins 12 secs around the 3.8km Tan while Houli was four seconds adrift.
* Jack Riewoldt was restricted to 500m time trials. "He's dropped three or four kilograms which is terrific, he's down to 90 now and with the way the game's probably going to go this year, we'd like to see him a bit more up the ground," Hardwick said.
* "Nathan (Foley) will probably join in pre-season in late January, we're going to take our time and not rush him."
* "Trent (Cotchin) will be eased in, he had a really good pre-Christmas block, he's running at Punt Road now, he just doesn't run on the Tan because it's a hard surface with that Achilles injury he had a long time ago. We're not prepared to take the risk (with him)."

groundhog day the next line Im expecting is "going in for a clean up"...

I'm sick of the rubbish.
Popularity at a footie club can really lead to some majorly bad decisions.
Foley should be resuming thru the burgers for the first 6 weeks at very best.
stuff him.
Absolute crap.
-
If Axel won't start full training until late Jan then you'd expect him to be in doubt for round 1 and instead take a cautious approach via Coburg.
Btw watch out grannies on the Tan when big Andrew Browne is running by :wallywink :lol

Yep, 4 games actually. Rounds 5, 6, 8, 9. 79 disposals, 12 marks and 16 tackles.

From RFC twitter:
"Training is slowly winding down here at Punt Rd. Boys looking good. Open training also on Mon/Wed next week at 11am"

Good signs for Foley, lets hope that continues. We need a fit Foley to deliver a competitive midfield.
The amount of players in recovery is a bit of a concern - I think it was 12 in total.

Yep both Troy and Astbury look much bigger than they did last season :thumbsup. Hopefully Troy is feeling more settled in Melbourne now and mentally is 100% focussed on his AFL footy now. It'd be a massive bonus to have a agile 192cm half-forward with a few tricks up his sleeve running around for us once he develops fully and gains more experience.
-
Sounds like the boys did another run of the Tan today according to BF:
"Went to Punt Rd and found Nason and Griff doing drills with the trainer. Waited for 30 mins and no one else came out :/"
"I went past. Only a few players were doing handball drills. Looks like the recovery group. The others seemed to head towards the tan."

Some Saints fan on BF was claiming Cass was involved in a driving misdemeanour a week or so ago but there's been no other mention of it so this guy was most likely a troll talking crap.
I think these 3 trialing rookies may be able to play in the NAB Cup so if that's right then I'd guess the club will wait until they see these guys in action before making a decision. We don't have to make a final decision on which one we want until just prior to round 1 I believe.

Yeah they can play NAB. Just haven't heard anyone mention them in any reports and have only seen 1 photo of Cass at training, the other two seem to have gone AWOL.

Join the Tigers on Australia Day
richmondfc.com.au
5:39 PM Mon 24 Jan, 2011
Tiger fans have a great chance to get up close and personal with their favourite players at the club’s Australia Day training session on Wednesday. The autograph and photo opportunities post-training will be complemented by a free BBQ and great specials at the Tiger Den.
Training on Australia Day commences at 8am at the ME Bank Centre at Punt Road Oval. The free BBQ will commence shortly afterwards. Richmond supporters will also get 20% off the club’s retro range while Kooga Members’ Caps will be just $9.95 on the day.
It will also be a great chance for fans to renew or purchase a membership for 2011. As part of the club’s Operation 10,000 campaign, anyone that refers a new member to the Club before the end of January will go into the draw to have lunch with former Tiger great Matthew Richardson.
Season 2011 draws closer - make sure you are a part of the build up!

I went to down to training today as 8am tomorrow is way too early :sleep ;D. Thanks to our trains ::) I missed the first 30 mins or so so I didn't see them do much as far as actual drills. The mids were on the far side of the ground when I arrived and were working on body strength pushing and wrestling in pairs. Tuesdays are meant to be a skills session so they weren't doing any game based drill.
Talk that we have hardly any injuries isn't quite right. Jacko is still 2 weeks away due to his hamstring tendonitis. He was expected back into full training by Christmas but it has taken longer. Jacko himself was fairly pragmatic about it and reckons he'll be like Cuz and as long as he's right to go round 1 he'll get through the season. Gus is still having trouble with his foot and was in the rehab group. He also had both thumbs bandaged but that might be just to protect them. Mitch Farmer said he is still injured (he didn't say what it was) although I've got a pic of him with the midfield group.
On the positive size both Foley and Cotch are fine and in full training. Cotch went off before I arrived which gave my friends a bit of a shock but he came back out and when a friend said she was worried about him Cotch overheard her and said "Hey I'm fine" ;D. Axel won't play in Darwin or the first NAB Cup game. Reece Conca has joined in full training within the past week.
Lids is now massive across the shoulders (hopefully he can pass the secret onto his teammates). They were doing some defensive spoiling drills a friend said with the aim to just punch the ball across the boundary. Lids however not knowing his own strength got a fist to the ball and it ended up over the fence and onto Punt Road with two cars hitting the footy before a cop car passing by picked it up and came in and returned it :lol. Jack is freaking bigger than you think too when you stand next to him.
I took a couple of pics which I'll add in a tick with the ones from slatteryimages.
Edit: I forgot to add Cass and the trial rookies are still training with us. I didn't recognise the other two though. Cass said he is finally over his hamstring probs which plagued him in his first stint at Richmond. The Irish boy training with us Rohan Steed (sp?) was also there today. We only recognised him after one of the ones in our group asked for his autograph and you couldn't miss the accent lol.

I still think it was mainly due to him over-training that time as Connors suffered a similar injury (at least in the ankle area) as well IIRC training alongside Cotch.

It's pretty bad, but wears off after a few loops. The one with Betty White dressed up as Alf with reigns was pretty disturbing. Especially when she takes it up the Melmac. Everytime I go around the block with that scene I'm left with a flat tyre.... :yep

Interesting article on the Tigers and Hawks young'uns training together ...

Hawks and Tigers training together
By Tim Clarke
SportsNewsFirst
31 January 2011 12:59PM EST
IN a huge departure from the usually highly secretive world of AFL training, Melbourne AFL rivals Hawthorn and Richmond have joined forces in a bid to fast track their young players.
In a move that may shock some fans, it has been revealed that the Tigers development players have been running regular drills against their Hawks counterparts at Waverley Park.
Hawthorn football manager Mark Evans said rather than revealing club secrets to potential opponents, it was borrowing a tactic used in the United States to empower their future stars.
“I don’t think (we are bedfellows) but it is two teams coming together to run development training together and I think that has worked pretty well for us,” Evans told Radio Sport National.
“When you are teaching kids how to play you want them to practice as a group and as a unit
“But when you put them against a team which contains (Sam) Mitchell, (Luke) Hodge and (Lance) Franklin they can predict what they are going to do.
“We wanted to do some shadow drill work against someone who would not have complete understanding of what we wanting them to do.
“It is more about giving them the chance to play the lead role in decision making.
“It is shadow play, there is no competitive stuff, it is particularly about ball movement and how you get to replicate parts of the game.”
Evans denied either club would be losing any competitive advantage by coming together.
“It is development – it is all pretty basic – if you watched one game you would have this stuff down pat,” Evans said.
“It is basic drill work, rather than any secret tactics.”

Looks like Hardwick and Clarkson have found a new way to get quicker development in some younger players.

The next open training session is:
Thursday, February 3 - 11.30am, Punt Road Oval

I might go to that.

Training report from BF:

Went to training today , all of the players have put on some weight. Also noticed that all the players have something to offer , be it size or speed or kicking skills or endeavour. The key I feel is committment and development, these kids have not appeared at the tiges by chance, they have what it takes , the questions is who wants it badly enough?

Cheers dogged. Hopefully they all want it badly enough as Lids has said and with the current coaching staff and the new facilties our player development regimes will now be up with the best after so many years/decades being the worst.

Was listening in to SEN1116 this morning (KB's show after 9am) and there was a call concerning Richmonds lack of match practice in the lead up to the NAB cup.
KB's guest (I think it was Greg Denham) told they guy not to worry about it, as Hardwick had been pounding our players in terms of match practice and drills over the off season longer than any club, which apparently alot of other clubs caught wind of and followed suit!
:clapping
-
Hardwick said something early on about training as you play...and if you loose few along the way so be it.
Reading around the traps there seems to be a lot of match simulation going on at training so you have to laugh at the chicken littles worrying about the possibility of injuries in games such as the allstars.
-
I'll be going to that Friday training.

Ther was match simulation at the Aust Day training session but it would barely qualify in comparison to the all stars game as match practice.
Not that I'm too concerned, we get 2 games against probable finalists this wend and worst case another 3 or 4 regional cup games. That's plenty.
-
Preseason results are meaningless anyway especially with the format this weekend and the different rules. All clubs are at different preparation levels and some take it seriously while others don't care at all. From Dimma's comments I would say we're in the latter. As long as we don't get flogged in both games which could hurt membership sales then it's mainly about seeing how the cubs go - both the newbies and those with another preseason under their belt.

No match simulation will totally replicate a true match situation. I think though, you will find that the full on match simulations are generally closed sessions.

Reading one of the articles recently where dimma was saying everything was being geared towards round 1, I got the impression the days where the club took this attitute are over. The last thing a coach needs over his head is the added pressure of results being required for the sake of memberships in games he wants to experiment/have a look at youngsters.

Checked out training today , big session from the boys.
Overall it was set play after set play with two teams , the second half of the session was in four separate groups doing 1 to 9 different set plays in each group.
All of these plays are known by names or numbers with play books on hand. We are going to see more forward pressure from this club than ever before . Outside of that I would rather not say anything more that I have never seen the club look so professional at training ( been watching since 78 )
Cheers

I specifically asked the club if the boys would be training today, since I was headed into the city for uni, and they said no. >:(

That's always been the stock standard response from club when there's a closed session.
Craig Cameron mentioned last Thurs or Friday that the boys would be training intensively Monday and Tuesday to make up for the cancelled Allstars game.

Another week of closed training sessions. Sounds like this will be the case right up to round 1.
From RFC twitter:
"right now there is a skills session, but all trainings this week are closed to public."

Definitely treating training a bit more serious as we head into the season.

MT from your experience watching training during the Wallace error, do you think that there are more closed sessions now compared to then?

I think there are more now. Terry loved talking to the media and therefore nothing was a secret. Dimma is a totally different creature to answer your question HRT.
-
for the regular track watchers -
Is there any notable difference(intensity/skill etc) between the way we train now as opposed to under TW? Honest appraisal would be appreciated :)
-
MT from your experience watching training during the Wallace error, do you think that there are more closed sessions now compared to then?
After the 2007 spoon leading into 2008 we definitely had a large number of closed sessions. Most sessions were "closed" at Vic Park although it didn't stop a few keen fans from being able to get in and watch ;). There was also in my view an unofficial position to have fewer open sessions back then to remove distractions at training. You would get some people rocking up to training with a heap of jumpers and posters to sign just so they could throw the gear up on ebay. I remember one guy leaning over the fence at Punt Rd asking for an autograph from Richo as he ran past in the middle of training.

Hey Tiggers!
I need some help from a Tiger fan they regularly goes to training.
Its my bf birthday coming up in April and I have bought him a new Richmond jumper. I've had a brain wave that I should get it signed by his favourite player.. Jack Riewoldt!
He is an amazing guy, he is in his mid 20's but is unable to work and is on the Disabilty Support Pension. He has Yellow & Black running through his veins though and even donated $50 towards the Tiger Fund! He is just such a great guy and I really want to give him something special.
I was hoping to find someone that goes to see the boys train and get Jack's autograph. I could post you the jumper with a prepaid self addressed envelope, so its easy to send it back to me.
Does this even sound like something that is viable? Do the boys even sign things after training?? I was thinking of writing to the club to ask but thought they might be busy with the season about to start to even be able to do such things.
Any help or other ideas would be much appreciated!!
Thanks,
Tiffany

I reckon going through the club would be the best bet. Perhaps giving a PM to RFCO who may be able to help.

Hi Tiffany and welcome to OER. The boys do sign jumpers and posters after training but it's probably simpler to contact the Club directly by either phone or email. I'm sure they would be more than happy to help in your situation. They would deal with these sorts of requests for autographs from supporters on a regular basis.

That's disappointing there was no reply at all :P.
If you want to try again there's also the membership email: membership@richmondfc.com.au or you could try ringing the club on 1300 RICHMOND (742 466) so you at least hear from someone.

IF you emailed the "info" email youll get a reply in about 74 years time or maybe never. Send a letter or as MT said send an email to membership. Dont send any emails to the "info@richmond email" its a waste of time.

I'm in Melbourne to watch the game tomorrow night, so I came with a creative excuse at the office and trammed it down to Punt Road to catch a bit of training.
There were about 150 people there and we were all shepherded to the outer side of the oval as the grandstand is now a construction zone. I stopped in at the new Tiger Superstore on the way. Lots of goodies to spend some money on. I thought the member/coaches jackets were particularly swish. Also found out that the FTF accepts cash donations over the counter, so there went my play money.
Gus and Whitey were in rehab, the rest of the squad from last week were out there, joined by Ben Nason, Thursty, Ben Griffiths, Matt Dea, Tucky, Colin Miller and someone said Webbers, but I didn't see him. There was no other ruckman in the squad, so Gus must be okay for the game. It was interesting to see Axel and Cotch doing some special warm up running, backwards, prior to training starting. Must be something to do with getting the calves and achillies properly stretched, I guess.
All the coaches were out there, with Dimma calling most of the shots. Not like the TW days.
It was a light session up to the time that I left, which was after about 45 minutes. The main drills that they did were;
- Moving the ball up and down the ground in a single overlap series of plays. One handball to a single overlapper, followed by a pinpoint pass, either through the corridor or around the wing, generally determined by the "defensive" general. They took turns to play defensive general. The main let down was a couple of ordinary inside 50 passes. Jack and TV played forward at one end of the ground, Griffo and Miller at the other. No-one played defence, it was all attacking stuff. The passes that went awry were either along the ground or over the head of the leading player - and this with no pressure. I didn't catch who the offenders were.
- Handball exercises in a very tight groupd, followed by a snap on goal from one of the forwards. This looked like a scrimmage and moving the ball around it - again without anyone playing defense.
- Goal kicking, early on in the session, not after it was over, for the forwards and mids, while the backs concentrated on hitting targets from within the defensive 50. No goal kicking after running hard up and down the ground, mind you. I reckon kicking is that much hard when you're out of oxygen and your heart is beating 24 to the dozen. I think that's why so many regular shots are missed this year.
- I'm guessing that drills with some players in a defensive role would have come later, but I had to get back to the office. On the whole, I thought the group showed a much improved skillset, inside 50 passes not withstanding, and they looked a lot bigger than this time last year, (except for Robbie Nahas, who just looked tiny and skinny). The leadership group was quite vocal, but there were still a lot of quiet players out there.
One thing I did note, was that in the end-to-end movement drills, after each player had got rid of the ball, they didn't continue running down the ground to make multiple overlap options. I couldn't imagine the Skunks at training standing around after they released the ball at training - I reckon Mick would have them sprinting two lengths of the ground, just as standard practice. Do we have spies at other team's training? I reckon it might be instructive to see how the Skunks go about it.
[/list]
Anyway, sorry I couldn't stay longer and give a more comprehensive report, but I'd better get back to pretending to do some work as long as this mob pretends to pay me. Cheers.

I called in at the SCG at noon today. It's been a little wet in Sydney, so they had the cricket pitches covered, in fact, almost the entire centre square.
Our coaching team was out in the middle for at least 15 minutes before the players came out. There was a bit of arm waving and guiding as I think they were talking about playing the wings at the SCG versus playing in the corridor. The ground is almost a circle, the wings are very wide.
Batch is the traveling emergency and he looked pretty sharp.
There didn't seem to be any players with major niggles as everyone was moving pretty smoothly.
The session was short, not much more than 40 minutes. With the middle covered they couldn't run any ball moving drills, so the forwards and a small group of mids practiced hitting up a leading forward from set plays outside 50, while the defenders went to the other end of the ground to practice clearances from deep inthe defensive 50.
There was a lot of talk and direction from within the playing group, I didn't notice too much coaching direction.
The forwards practiced goal kicking from each end and there were a couple of ball handling drills. The surface of the ground is pretty good.
I didn't get the impression that the team was burning with intensity yet, maybe that's coming tomorrow. Everyone looked pretty relaxed.

Wasn't anywhere near wet enough today to have almost the entire square covered all day. Wasn't even raining at noon, the showers have been light and on and off. Can understand keeping the ground covered as much as possible in case it buckets down but I reckon the Swans were playing a bit of silly buggers. The covers could have been removed for our 40min session so we could do full length drills, I'm sure it was for theirs.
Got them worried :lol

Didn't that happen last week at the SCG as well? Very convenient for the home side given our last training session is just a light one that goes for only 45 minutes. The 'Gabba centre wicket area is hard enough as it is so what are they protecting this week ::).

Any open training sessions on Thursday and Friday this week?

Any open training sessions on Thursday and Friday this week?
They normally train the morning of the day before a game Tucky. So Friday at say 10am-11am would be a fair bet. RFCO twittered the other day that they are still doing work at the Northern end of Punt Rd so I'm not sure if it's officially open to the public but sometimes you can squeeze in at one of the gates around the ground or just watch it from the other side of the fence along the Punt Road side of the ground.

If you're passing Punt Rd today there's a training session at 2pm. Not sure how much you can see though as RFCO sats there isn't really any public viewing areas at the moment due to the reconstruction.

Sitting here at Cazaly's in Cairns waiting for training to start. There's no stands worth talking about. Wind blowing straight down the ground. The ground looks about the same length as the G, but doesnt seem quite as wide. The surface looks OK, like thick cooch(?) grass. There's about 300 people here to watch training.
It's about 24 degrees, humid and a warmish breeze.
Coaches, Whitey & Cotch first on the ground. Dave Astbury walking (limping) around with a big compression bandage on his knee. A few of the boys wearing gloves on one hand. Shane Tuck training. Lids doing the press conference. Lots of Suns officials watching.
Starting with getting the feel of the ball on the turf and some well executed 30 metre passing and handball drills with lots of talking. Now working on kick outs and transition to attack, one end of the ground to the other. Pretty soon it degenerated into goalkicking at each end, which might be a challenge tomorrow if this wind keeps up.
All over in about 30 minutes.
.
-
Do they still have that concrete moat around the outside of the ground?
I remember one year they had to stop a game to get a big croc out of there.
Suppose that's one way to slow down rotations, gotta jump the reptile pit coming on and off the ground...

Cheers for the report Muscles :cheers. Sounds like Tucky is 23rd man and may not be playing for Coburg on Sunday.
I know we want all our players to experience travelling interstate but it's a little bit odd sticking Astbury on a plane for 3 hours when he's recovering from a leg injury.
-
Yeah, MT, it did seem a bit odd bringing Dave along. I didn't get to talk to him, but he looked pretty wistful. I wondered if it was for morale reason?
Michael and Fay(?) Tuck were at the social event last night at the North Cairns Tigers Club. It's safe to say that they're both feeling that Shane is doing everything he can to get a game, but that the youth policy at the club makes it hard for him to break in.
Brendan Lade also spoke and took questions. One was directly about Shane and another was pretty direct about Gus. He neatly sidestepped the Tucky question, but took the Gus one head on. Said Gus was inconsistent at Coburg. Called him a match winner one week and missing in action the next. Said Gus has been told that he has to string a number of good games together to move past BrownE, who, Lade said, always gives everything he's got!

sadly for browne (and richmond) that doesn't seem like a hell of a lot.

Training Tigers in Craigieburn
richmondfc.com.au
Thu 28 Jul, 2011
Richmond players returned from a short break today with a strenuous session in Craigieburn.
With the bye weekend approaching, the Tigers were given three days to freshen up, before returning today for a 90-minute session at Highgate Reserve.
In blustery conditions, the players were put through their paces in a number of skill and strength drills, before heading back to the ME Bank Centre for a weights session.

Gives them a week or two to assess K.Moore on the park before final list lodgement leading into the draft
-
OK folks here's the deal.
Most players back tomorrow (4-7 years) with the remaining players (8+ years) back next week. They're currently doing testing with only the occasional bits of footy work, so there's no real "open training" at the moment.
As I know more of the schedule, I'll post it on the website and whenever I remember, here as well.
-
Whenever you remember?

Hopefully Grimesy doesn't have any further probs with that hammy most of all and it hasn't affected his speed off the mark.
Dusty does look like he's come back superfit. He's obviously learnt from last year :thumbsup.
Postie looks like he's taken advice from TV and gone the short, back and sides to improve his footy lol. For his sake he needs a breakout year in 2012.

or
http://bigpondvideo.com/RichmondTV/402080/tigers-training/ (http://bigpondvideo.com/RichmondTV/402080/tigers-training/)
The playing group at the moment is split between those who have had ops over the offseason and those that have had an uninterrupted offseason/preseason.
We're doing a mixture of fitness/gym/aerobic training and gameplan/footy training from the start of preseason. Kicking training is 3 times a week.
By December the vast majority of the group will be in full training. Hornsby said everyone is at least running at the moment which is pleasing.
Overseas trip - leave Oct 29. In Southern Arizona which is at sea-level. More about using the elite facilities via our connection with Athletes Performance and the University of Arizona.

Terrific vision of the new boys on the RFC website today. New boys look ready to go and all players seemed to have put on considerable muscle around the upper body.

Hardly the actions of the great leader he is touted to be. I am starting to see plenty of tarnish on the golden boy and am not sure he is worthy of the gift run he has been given.

All good. I used to love whacking blokes in pre-season. I was disappointed if there wasn't at least a few scuffles going on ;D

Beg to differ TBR. Kingy would be capable of getting under anyone's skin - team mate or foe - and for Cotchin to stand up was very heartening. Our midfield is growing balls and not going to take crap. Bring it on! :gotigers

Houli, Ellis and White were the top 3 in the Tan run today...
Work hard then work harder
richmondfc.com.au
Fri 06 Jan, 2012
Bachar Houli isn’t about to sit back and admire his handy-work from the 2011 season if today’s time trial around the 3.8km Tan Track is any guide.
Houli, who finished fifth in the Jack Dyer Medal last season, is working harder than ever to get every ounce out of himself this pre-season in preparation for 2012.
Houli ran superbly today to win the time trial and send a clear message that he is ready to take up where he left off last season.
And after crossing the finish line, Houli wasn’t done. After a few deep breaths, he then jogged back to the group to finish the run with those coming in at the tail, encouraging them to push through to the end.
Another highlight of today’s time trial was the performance of Brandon Ellis who finished just a matter of seconds behind Houli.
It was an impressive effort from the Tigers’ first-round draft selection and he is clearly coping well with the rigours of his first full pre-season at AFL level. Matthew White finished third in the time trial.
Jack Riewoldt did not take part in the time trial but Tiger fans need not be concerned. The Tiger spearhead took part an in solid football skills / running session back at Punt Road Oval.
He is expected to join in full training in the next few weeks and fitness staff have no concerns that he will be fit and firing on all cylinders when the 2012 season kicks off. Jake King was also an on-looker as he recovers from a minor knee injury he sustained during the International Rules Series.

Houli should be fit, if the rest of us lived his lifestyle we would be as well.
Will be judged on the footy field alone.
-

Probably indicates the difference in workload/training plans for the 1st year players and others. The 1st year players are probably fresher and doing more running to build endurance in any case.

As it's a open to the public training session, Punt Rd Oval carpark will most likely be full. I'd guess East Melbourne may be next best(?) option although I never drive to training when I've gone so I'm not sure DD.

Ok kids. Here's my perspective of today's training session.
Around 100 keen souls braved the blustery and at times wet weather to view what I would describe as an interesting training session.
I arrived early as often this is the best time catch injured players hit the training track. At 12.30 Dean McDonald trudged out with a club trainer who video taped his slow run for analysis. McDonald looked proppy but on the plus side has lost puppy fat from last season.
That was all the action on the field before the main session. We killed some time by having a look at the Social Club facilities. Nice but unfinished. Also noticed commencement of construction for coaches boxes in j dyer stand. A question for the club is this for coburg games :pray or training review? I suspect and hope for the former. Also noticeable were significant on field surface level differences adjacent to the new building. Anyone questioning whether we need to spend bikies on resurfacing should be shot.
At 1.30pm a vocal rehab group trotted out, incl. Riewoldt, Browne, Astbury, Moore, Cotch and Batch. The 6 paired up and mainly did stationary handball drills at the station end of the ground. Were off the park by 2pm.
1.40pm the main group trickled out, and im not going to name everyone other than to say it was a healthy group of 34, minus the rehab group, McGuane, and probably a couple of others.
Initial thoughts were:-
- Dea taller bigger. 190cm I reckon.
- Darrou nice size
- Piva is a Unit, nice soccer skills too.
- Ellis is a unit but short (newmans height).
Initial warmup was typical of what you would see after the boys run out on game day, with the exception of Post, Piva Wright, Gus and Derrickx kicking one on one Lade. Gus has leaned up a bit.
Players then split up into 3 groups (defenders, mids, fwds) and paired up within these for the first drill, which consisted of basic 1 on 1 kicking which changed every 3 min. Eg from straight kicking to kick, drop, then run and pick up and kick to running on arcs and kicking.
I note Newman and Lids were in midfield group and Griff was in defence. ;)
Helsin's kicking was sublime. Morris was good too - he knows how to drill it. However, a number of errors from others which didn't look good. :-\
After 15 min they moved onto what i would describe as a lead and kick drill in the same three groups. Within these, players we grouped in 4 points with another group in middle, leading from each, forming an X pattern over the ground. This was done at a higher pace than the previous drill, but again was a bit sloppy for my liking even given the sometimes blustery conditions. On the positive sided Rance was barking orders, taking the major defensive lead incl directing players to position.
Following this, there was a similar drill. Players were put into 2 groups split on either up the length of the ground (more loose and alot more running) with an end shot at goal. This was quicker again, but still a few too many kicking errors. Delivery into F50 was hmmmmmmm......Elton moved very well. Is noticeably quick. Grimes vision and reflexes were excellent, chopping off the ball/spoiling.
A 1 on 1 'win the ball' contest drill then followed. Very competitive. Mids were thrown the ball along the ground whilst defenders opposed forwards and were kicked to. Good stuff.
Then the highlight of the day for mine. Players were put into 4 teams and two teams opposed each other in a large rectangle with full match rules bar no kicking (Handball and run only). The aim was for one team to stop the other getting the ball through a set of gates at the other end 50 meters away. Full body contact allowed - good too see. The tackling in this drill was ferocious and very very good. Based on what I saw, we also must have been practicing riding the tackle, getting arms over the tackle and handball. Both tackling and breaking tackles has gone up a notch from last year. Morris in particular was ferocious, he hates losing contests, and let's his team mate know when he's nailed themin a tackle by pushing their face into the ground! :bow
Unfortunately, Martin hurt his back (right side lower) and trudged off. Gibson went off with a sore wrist after being hammered by Morris and lids. But both seemed minor.
Other things which stick in my mind:-
Houli great skills, put in 110%. Big year coming up based on what I saw.
Connors - geez he's lost some weight. Concerning. Spaghetti arms.
Dea taller (as I said earlier). No really. He's taller.
Maric = leader. Did alot of extra work.
Morris - will be a cult figure. Angry angry man. White line fever. Think Glen Archer but with more size, and absolutely brutal in the contest.
That's about it. Alot more professional training set up than the others I've seen in previous years, and I think our playing style will be alot more physical in 2012. Unfortunately kicking skills and hitting targets appears to be concerning at times. But hey, it's still January.
Any questions fire away.
-
I assume you are talking about big Maric? haw does mini Maric go?
I like what I'm hearing about morris. :thumbsup
-

Yep Big Al, I was referring to Big Maric. :thumbsup
Mini Marric went ok. Didn't do anything horrendous or spectacular. He is very short, shorter than foley and possibly Nahas, but is bigger in the upper body than both. Came across as being introverted - wasn't too vocal on the track. Mentally in the zone.
-
Thanks for your feedback on training.How did Posty and Astbury look and the new rookies?.Also does Elton look like a natural forward big wraps on him.Tom Derickx is another who could be a suprise for us in 2012.
When you say errors were happening alot what do you mean and by who? turnovers,etc.Cheers

No probs.
For mine Posty looked a bit more involved and positive today compared to previous training sessions where he often looks like hes going through the motions. Has bulked up a little but needs a little more size.
Astbury was in the rehab group so not much to write home about there.
Elton should be a good. He did a few good defensive things today and like chase down a smaller player. Hes quick for a guy of his size esp once he gets motoring (likeGriffiths but quicker off the mark) However, I suspect hes a bit lean to get a game this year.
Derrickx went ok today. Moved freely. Out marked shorter defenders as expected, he also did a couple of nice 1 percenters which didn't go unnoticed. Superior 'link up' work to Graham, but not as much confidence or mongrel as Maric.
The main mistakes today were hitting targets by foot and delivery into F50. A number of kicks were 9 ironed over the leading forwards. It was blustery at times but I (along with others) thought it was a little concerning. There were players who did it more than others, including some newbies, but I'll leave it at that.

hello,
my observations from todays training
griffiths is one huge unit and has beautiful skills, hopefully he makes it
arnott is extremely strong, in the one on one drills he was pitted against martin and i'd have to say he won more than he lost.
connors has still got very nice kicking skills, looks leaner though, could be a good thing
derrickx looks fantastic and has good skills
thats about all that stood out to me today, however deledios kicking is unbelievably good

Yep Arnot (unit) was pitted against Martin and he held his own. After Arnot out muscled him in one contest, Martin gave him a love tap as they were running to the back of the line as if to say he respected him and acknowlede he got beaten fairly. Never seen Martin do anything like that!
Lids kicking was good, Griff looked a bit bigger than last year. :thumbsup
Connors though looks to thin for mine now. Spaghetti arms :-[
-
Great reports :thumbsup
A shame about Dusty :-\. Hopefully he's fine.
I'm guessing we are trying Griffs in defence as part of his education as a forward (learn from another forward about where to run and lead to).
Did Conca train and if so how he did he look?

Dusty should be ok MT
I think I read elsewhere a griff is being tried at CHB also because he's less likely to get injured there? Moved freely today incl full body contact so that's a good sign.
Conca was one of the few that nailed his kicks and hit all his targets (from what I could see). Also of note, at the end a group of 24 or so stayed on and did repeat 400 and 800m runs. Conca was almost always first in his sub-group :thumbsup. He will definitely run games out in 2012 better than last year

Arnot is our stockiest player. Arms and Legs are like that of a body builder lol
Elton looks as tall as Vickery, Maric, Griffiths and Derrickx when standing with them. He's also very quick like Vickery, Griffiths and Derrickx
Post looks like he'll be 2012's version of Rance in 2011. He came out early, was vocal, near the front of all the runs and was bigger too. Did well in the 1 on 1's and has been working on his acceleration too. Showed some real hunger for the ball

Ahh don't you just love our future ferals. If we have another 10 years of Tiger mediocrity they'll be as bitter and twisted as us and all that talk of final 8 will be a distant memory. ;D
Not that its going to happen! Right Dimma??

Going by that clip there's going to be a few more bitter and twisted souls if we don't make the top 8 this year lol. Expectations a fraction too high me thinks :-\.

Great reports :thumbsup
A shame about Dusty :-\. Hopefully he's fine.
I'm guessing we are trying Griffs in defence as part of his education as a forward (learn from another forward about where to run and lead to).
Did Conca train and if so how he did he look?
Dusty should be ok MT
I think I read elsewhere a griff is being tried at CHB also because he's less likely to get injured there? Moved freely today incl full body contact so that's a good sign.
Conca was one of the few that nailed his kicks and hit all his targets (from what I could see). Also of note, at the end a group of 24 or so stayed on and did repeat 400 and 800m runs. Conca was almost always first in his sub-group :thumbsup. He will definitely run games out in 2012 better than last year
Cheers DD and good news to hear about Reece :thumbsup.
As for Big Ben hopefully he can get through the year unscathed :pray.

Dooks - amazingly detailed and insightful report. Well done! :thumbsup Always great to hear about how the new players are performing and I love the sound of Ellis, Arnot, Elton and Morris from your report. I'm surprized that Arnot was able to outmuscle Martin :o The other player I'll keep my eye on is Pia - sounds like he may turn into a monster defender in the future :pray
I always wonder where players like Griffiths, Post, Elton and Derickx will end up. We do tend to move these players back and forth a hell of a lot. I was very hopeful Griffiths would see some time in the forwardline this year but sounds like he will spend most of the year as a CHB for Coburg. :'(
The big news is the confirmation of Newman and Lids training exclusively with the midfield team. We've all heard whispers and snipets of news but, too me, this makes it a reality. Means we will be going into 2012 with a more experienced and bigger bodied midfield team :thumbsup Just hope Houli, Batchelor, Dea and/or Morris etc will give us the same delivery out of the backline as these two have done.
Once again, great report Dooks! :cheers
-
No worries Stripes.
I think Derrickx will go past Graham this year and be our no 2 ruck. Don't be surprised if Grif gets a decent number of games at CHB. Post will be an interesting one to watch this year. I think he knows he has to deliver and has taken a number of steps like hiring a running coach to increase his fitness base. But Ive just got a feeling he will still lack intensity. Happy to be proven wrong.
Yep Newman and Lids to the midfield appears to be a lock :thumbsup
Arnot is a unit but based on what I saw kicking needs alot of work. Dea's decision making needs attention too.
Debutants for round 1:- Maric, Morris, Ells. Pencil it in.

Anyone wondering about how Arnot beat Martin in a number of 1 on 1 contests, check the following picks out....biggest thighs in the afl!

He might give Josh Hunt a run for his money.
-
Can someone tel me why Griffths is playing CHB ??.Dont recall him playing there as a junior and to be honest I want him beside Riewolt.
-
perhaps the coaching staff don't abide by the view that because someone plays a certain position as junior that is their position for life.?
they feel it will be a good learning experience to develop his overall game?
they feel it will be better for the team to develop him as a CHB in the long term?
They do these things just to see what reaction they get on Internet forums?
-
I think I read elsewhere a griff is being tried at CHB also because he's less likely to get injured there? Moved freely today incl full body contact so that's a good sign.
-
was that just someone's opinion on a forum or something that came out of the club?
I could see a little merit in it, but a CHB will still find themselves in the middle of packs, or should, more to the point.

I wish I could remember Big Al. The logic was at CHB you crash into blokes rather than get crashed into. Take that for what it's worth I guess.

I was only there from 1:30 til 3:10, but they were warming up when I got there and still going when I left. Players I didn't see were Deledio, MacDonald and Turner.
Rehab group was split into pairs: Cotchin and Batchelor, Riewoldt and Mcguane, Morris and Griffiths, and Browne and a Richmond staff member. They were just doing a lot of fast handball drills side by side, where you moved to the back of the group if you messed up. Cotchin and Batchelor were by far the best at this.
Astbury and Moore seemed to be seperate from both the rehab and main group.
The main group started out with kick to kick, increasing distance every couple of minutes. Rance has definitely improved his kicking, and he's very hard on himself whenever he messes up.
Connors, on the other hand, is a complete dud. I don't want to see him play any games this year if this training session is any indictation of his effort and skill. He's lazy, slow, takes ages to wind up a kick, and shanks it 50% of the time. He still has no right foot.
Arnot's kicking was ok, but I noticed that his kicking action looks weird. It looks like he's overthinking things. It seems mechanical, rather than smooth.
Grimes' kicking was shocking from kickouts, but was fine otherwise.
Edwards had 1 or 2 shanks but his evasiveness and handballing was top notch again.
Maric's kicking is better than Graham's, but it's still nothing to write home about.
White's kicking is still very poor. There was the slightest of breezes today, so there's no wind excuse this time.
There was a drill where there were a lot of players in a relatively small area, and players needed to hit up a target with a fast, low, bullet pass without it being intercepted. Grigg was fairly good here, with Connors and White being poor. 1 of Edwards' shanks was here, and it was very bad. Overshot the target by about 10 metres.
Then there was a drill with 3 main groups spread around the whole oval. It was focussed on linkup and leading. Skills were generally alright here, with Conca a big standout. He never misses a target, and his 1 handed running pickups are becoming a favourite of mine. A good amount of talking in this drill, too, which was good.
Then the squad was split into 2 groups. One focussed on midfield stoppages, and the other focussed on forward 50 pressure. Midfield tackling pressure was good here. Ellis loves to smother, as I saw from the forward 50 drills. Vickery was very good in contested situations.
There was then a full-field simulation, where the ball was not allowed to hit the ground or it was a turnover. There wasn't enough talking in this drill for my liking. A couple of players got run down with complete silence from their team-mates. The odd part of this drill was that there was always 1 player wearing a blue singlet on the field. That player seemed to always be on the attacking side, regardless of who had the ball. These 2 players were Dea and O'Hanlon, I think. Both did well. O'Hanlon's linkup is good. Derickx kicked 5 goals in 10 minutes, I believe.
That's about the time I left. I may have missed things, so others can fill in if they also attended. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Thanks Danog :cheers I love it when people take the time to write it up like that for those of us that couldn't make it.
Just a couple things:
-Would Moore and Astbury be off together for Moore to teach Astbury some things about the position?
and
-I remember from Arnot's highlight reels that he only had a left foot. Most of his kicks were on the run and under pressure, so it wasn't fair to judge him by a few highlight's. But I also remember nothing standing out at the time. If the coaching staff have had an issue with his kicking style however, would they have been trying to teach him a better technique and the result is him looking a bit uncoordinated while getting used to it?
-
I only noticed Moore and Astbury walking back inside. Maybe somebody else can inform you of what they were doing.
I did notice that when they were doing the kick to kick drills, one of the coaches made Arnot put the ball on the ground, run to it, pick it up, and kick quickly after rapidly accelerating. The kick was good.
-

Looks in fine fettle indeed Danog. Reece Conca most improved 2012...

Great report danog :cheers
Who was on Derickx for him to kick 5 goals in 10 mins :o ?
If we were to put the rucks in order at this stage it sounds as though it's Maric followed by Derickx then Gus and Browne. Not sure where 3 of them fit in in the Coburg seniors as modern footy only needs one specialist ruckman especially with Vickery still to be used mainly as a forward who can also ruck.
Good to hear more positive news and views of Conca and Ellis :thumbsup.
It sounds as though we won't see either Astbury or Moore (which we knew about already) early on in the season.
-
Derickx honestly didn't spend much time in the ruck. It was almost all spent forward. He trained in a Vickery-type role.
The defenders were rotated around on Derickx. I think it was Grimes, Miller and someone else. Not worldbeating opposition, but his kicking was pretty good. It has a slight left curl to it.

Cheers danog. If Derickx is training in a Vickery-type role maybe he is being considered as a alternative for the role Miller has up forward with Griffiths now training in defence?

Was thinking the same MT, jack will be kept out of the first two NAB games. So if Tom is fit enough there may be two games for him there.
Great reporting Danog, top stuff

Our drafting has really turned the corner MT. Ellis looks ready to plug and play. :thumbsup
So hard to really tell anything from pre season training though when you have nothing to gauge performances against
Too many times we've looked great only to flunk in the season proper. Only time will show how much we have improved against our opposition.

Hey Magic,

Great report Danog! I read reports today that Derickx is training exclusively as a tall forward. I would assume with so many players fighting for the ruck position, the club is looking for a backup to Vickery in the forward/ruck role. Would be interesting to hear how he lead, marked and moved around the forwardline? Was he working well with the other forwards? :cheers
-
Leading was good, and marked in front of him arms stretched. Nothing to complain about there. I read somewhere else that Derickx was supposedly dropping a fair few marks in the simple kicking drill, but I wasn't looking in his direction when that drill was happening. Oh well. If he's taking the difficult marks, then that's fine with me.

I was also in attendance. I saw the X-Man spill two absolute sitters in a row in the long 'leading and kicking' drill. Sharpened up after that and as you mention was prevalent in the later more competitive drills. Could well feature prominently this year.
Some other things i noticed:
- The session in general was very competitive and physical. Tackling hard and bumping each other between drills. There seems to be a tough edge to this summer.
- We have some real size about us now. Very few bean poles and midgets getting around. A far cry from the push-overs of yesteryear. Very pleasing.
- Arnott's footskills need work, but he is evidently very strong. Tried to take on Rance at one point and got buried.
- Lids is an absolute specimen right now. Shoulders and arms are something to behold. Didnt miss a beat and was vocal.
- Rance is clearly the general down back now. He is regularly marshaling and barking instructions. He appears to have the the respect of the group too. Trains hard and hates making mistakes. :thumbsup
- Connors looked tired and unfit. Gawnski after this year.
- Ellis didnt miss a target from what i saw. Has nice muscle definition and looks very fit already. Shoe in for round 1 and im looking forward to it.
- Edwards looked sharp and focused, apart from the one shank that i saw.
- Conca looked smooth and skilfull. big year coming up.
- Jack was lively and upbeat in the few drills that he participated in early. Had pretty decent muscle definition.
- Big Ivan trained well too. Looks like a competitive beast. Tremendous mullet.
- Didnt see much of his namesake apart from one beautiful incisive pass in one of the competitive 'game like' drills. Looks small, but appears to have good skills.
- At one point early on Dimma was unimpressed with the way one of the groups was performing a drill. Heard him say 'poohouse the lot of you'. Not sure if he was referring to their intensity or their lack of structure, but the intensity lifted after this.
- Our two new rookies Darrou and Wright are big burly bastards who move pretty well. Skills need some work though, which is not surprising i suppose. Still interesting prospects.
- Saw Robin put in a great third and fourth tackling effort in one of the competitive drills that won him the praise of his teamates.
sorry I couldnt give more info. I have the memory of an 80 year old.
In short, i am just itching for round one and i think we can give it a real shake this year. I've been very wrong before tho so who the eff knows.
Im off to Berlin for a few weeks next week, so enjoy the rest of your summer, folks.
eff Carlton and so on.

Feb 1st Training Session:
Got to Punt Road at 1:15, and there were a group of players doing kick to kick. The group consisted of Martin, Cotchin, Deledio, Riewoldt, King, Mega Maric, Wright, Darrou, Turner, Connors, Vickery, Miller, Houli, Nahas, Foley and Newman.
Nothing particularly noteworthy here. Connors was using his right foot almost exclusively. He got better as the session went on. Houli really is a gun kick. Maric isn't bad either.
Then they went to a drill that spanned the centre square, with a group on either side. Players would run at each other to link up and eventually move the ball forward. Once a player reached the 'group' at the end of their turn, a coach would roll a ball at their feet, which they had to quickly handball back. If there was a major screw-up, the players all had to drop and do 20 pushups. This only happened once, but it should have happened maybe one or two more times.
Griffiths, Moore, and Astbury were doing a handballing drill, with Griff jogging laps afterwards.
Heslin was doing co-ordination drills with a coach, and then ran a few very fast laps.
The whole squad then came in close, with coaches kicking fast grubbers along the ground for players to pick up and handball back. Connors was bad at this. Darrou was good.
Then there was a mini scratch match (7 on 7) with teams being decided via a schoolyard pick. Newman and Deledio were captains.
Team Newman = Mega Maric, King, Darrou, Houli, Cotchin, Foley
Team Deledio = Riewoldt, Miller, turner, Wright, Martin, Nahas
I think they were only allowed to kick in this drill, and so there were situations where players had to try and outmanuever the defensive player. Houli nailed a good tackle on Dusty because of this. The team scored a point when the ball was kicked to a coach waiting in the goal square. While this was going on, Connors and Vickery did 5 laps. Connors started to pull ahead after 3 laps, with Vickery really struggling in his 4th and 5th.
Mega Maric can take a mark above his head, so he's already a huge improvement on Gus.
Turner's kicking was off and on. If he messed up, it was typically because he was undecided about which target to kick to. He was very hard on himself whenever he messed up. He should improve once he understands the game plan a bit better.
I'm not sure whether or not it was a directive to not have much contact, but Darrou played very loose and lazy on Miller. He may have just been exhausted, which showed later on (more on that later).
Throughout the match, the rookies tended to get caught trying to take on the more experienced players. I'm guessing this was due to the greater core strength possessed by the older players. It was good to see the rookies taking the initiative, though.
In the end, I think Newman's team won 5-4.
After this, Tuck, White, Post, Conca, Rance, Edwards, Graham, Webberley, Helbig, Ellis, and O'Hanlon came out and watched the next drill. Connors was running laps on his own.
The 1st group did a handball drill in a game area of about 50m x 20m. Teams had to manuever the ball from one side of the area to the other, and handball it through a mini set of goal posts. Teams were the same as the mini-scratch match, but Houli swapped with Newman (I'll call it Team Cotch from now on). The defensive team had 1 person sitting out on a rotation. Team Cotch was better at the start, but Team Deledio was better at the end. Rance was giving funny commentary as it went on. The 2nd group then started to warm up.
The balls went away at this point. Nahas and King were doing repeat sprints and lateral movements in the middle of the ground, followed by wrestling each other.
The remaining players were split into 3 groups. Each group did 2 minutes of fast jogging, followed by 2 minutes of slow jogging. There was 7 rounds of this.
Group 1 was Deledio, Conca, Foley, Cotchin, Ellis, Houli, Edwards, and White. Ellis lead the group, followed by Edwards. Cotchin started to trail the group on the last 2 rounds.
Group 2 was Rance, Webberley, Post, Mini Maric, Helbig, Martin, and Tuck. Rance lead the group, followed by Helbig. Rance was giving constantly encouragment and leadership throughout the run. Tuck and Webberley trailed the group. For the last couple of rounds, Nahas tagged onto the group and lead fairly easily. Helbig seems more like a man than a boy this year.
Group 3 was Mega Maric, Turner, Wright, Darrou, Vickery, Miller, Newman, O'Hanlon, Graham, and Riewoldt. Mega Maric lead the group to begin with. Turner, Vickery, Wright, and Darrou struggled as the rounds went on, with Piva slowing down a lot towards the end. Graham surprised me by leading in the last 3 rounds. King tagged along in the last couple of rounds and ran alongside Piva, giving encouragement.
One of the players got given a "carbo shot". I assume it was for extra energy, as the player was really struggling towards the end.
Cotch finished up by doing a couple of laps on his own at the end.
Any questions?
-
Danog, it seems like most of the list trained?
Some must have played in the scratch match against Whorethorn this morning and still trained in the arvo.

I listed everybody that was out there. Didn't see Morris, Arnot, Elton, etc

I managed to get to training only to see the warm up drills before John Vickery asked me politely to leave as he was closing the gates because they were trying a few things.

Come on TB, that's not the attitude. John Vickery? Who's he anyway? Surely you could have stood your ground and had a whack at him (if needed) to get your point across. You'll need to harden up and sacrifice a hit for the team if you want to stay on this forum!
;D ;D ;D

;D ;D ;D
john vickery is the boxing coach, i wouldn't have stood a chance. What i did notice throughout the warm up drills is that cotchin and reiwoldt are moving beautifully and their kicking skills were sublime every time. Pleasure to watch.
Have to say Big Maric looks great and moves really well for a big man, foot passing was very good too.
Morris runs hard and didnt miss a target whilst i was there. Very strong build
Really like the look of vickery atm. Moving very well and has great hands.
Deledio sensational at everything.
Ellis runs extremely hard and just doesn't miss a target.
Overall i was there about 30 mins, still a few kick missing targets by the usual suspects but the quality players are very clean.
-
Have to agree with smokey. You could have at least stood your ground. :(

See, there you go again. If you want to be a key player on this forum then you need to stand up and take that hit...................then post the pics on here so we can have a look! ;D
But in all seriousness, thanks for the training info, it's much appreciated by all of us on here who don't get a chance to see it. :thumbsup

You should have watched from the "Public Car Park" couldn't have told you politley or otherwise to move on from there :rollin
I sometimes reckon these "closed training sessions" at Punt Road Oval are a bit comical to be honest. If anyone wanted to they could watch from the footpath on Punt Road; granted it would look a bit strange but it could easily be done and the club couldn't stop it ;D

i was wondering about that, billy

good session today, l was lucky to skip uni this arvo to watch.
my report is only limited to who stands out. But if anyone has questions fire away.
Postie won the time trial easy in the big blokes race and Whitey and Ellis won the small's. Ellis easily looks best 22 to me, wonder if he'll play against blues.
Dusty looks a plodder on the endurance runs and has huge thighs for a young bloke [Lethal comparisons]. I've read about Titch putting on weight and was skeptical but he is noticeably bigger, should help his game. Helbig and Webbs just did kick to kick most the time and Cotch only joined in some drills. His kicking was poor at times which l wouldn't have expected.
Maric is big and solid but is going to be a bit of a plodder, where Gus seems more athletic but sloppy with marking and kicking.
Conners trained well, [is bigger than l remember] and played in forward group, might be a surprise selection this year.
Arnot looks like a midget body builder but does alright with the ball.
Conca looks classy, not as good as Cotch but always seems involved in the play and makes smart decisions [a bought time we got one]
Vickery was always used as the deep forward and grabs nearly everything.
Jack was vocal [surprise]
Houli looks really fit and showed polished skills.
That's all l can recall for now.
-
Should of told him you pay his and everyone else's wages and to stuff off and get back to work.
-
To be perfectly honest, a lot was going on and I can't remember a lot. If somebody else posted a rough outline of the second half of the training, I'd be able to chip in with my two cents, but the entire squad was out there, and they were doing a lot of different drills. It's hard to remember. Here's a report of the first half of training, which is spot on. I can't add anything to it.
Source: http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showpost.php?p=23322142&postcount=397
"Wednesday training opened with a what I think was a 5 minute time trial of sorts, they set up a running track just inside the boundary line around punt rd oval, they had all the big KP players in orange vests starting on one wing and another group of the smaller HF and HB types including Posty on the opposite wing, they then started a pursuit time trial, the big surprise for me here was the ease at which Posty was running, he lead the group of smaller players by a fair margin and ate up a few of the orange vested stragglers in Darrou and Wright (who looked like they were running in sand by the end), seems the hard work is really paying off for the Postman. Brad Miller was the clear leader of the orange vested boys, followed by Maric, Graham and Riewoldt. When the trial had ended Some of the guys like Graham went down on their haunches and Jack yelled out “Stand up!” and straight away they all did, he’s quite a leader on the track.
Now the mids set up in a similar way, on the far wing the top runners all had the orange and red vests on, while Rance lead the white team from the other wing which included Dusty, the standouts in orange vests were definitely Ellis, who lead White for nearly 3 laps before White took off and lead by a fair margin, Jackson also performed well and Cotch placed in the middle of the orange team, Newman finished last. Ellis has a great tank for a first year player.
The big shock for me was how much Dusty seemed to struggle, not sure the reason why, maybe a long preseason catching up with him, he finished second last in his group in front of Webbers, King actually ran in front of Dusty trying to motivate him, I heard him saying “come on Dusty” most of the way. Must remember though each player has a different work load put on them, and some can be sore from prior sessions etc.. Batchelor was a standout and lead his group most of the way until Rance and Nahas overtook him late. I didn't see this. I thought Batch lead the whole way. Jack was also extremely vocal with encouragement, especially towards Ellis through the trial. "GOOD BOY, BRANDY!"
After this they did some handball drills, followed by some short kicking practice which was supposed to have them using their opposite foot, Arnot was right in front of us and I didn’t see him once use his right, was pretty disappointing considering it’s a huge weakness for him, I think he was kind of trying to show off to the small crowd and didn’t want to expose his dodgy right.
Couldn’t stay any longer and had to get back to work, was really good seeing the time trial though."
A few things stood out for me though. Webberley and Verrier (I think?) were doing a lot of kicking drills on their own while the rest of the team (except the rehab group of Griffiths, Astbury, Moore, and Turner) did main training. I'm not sure why. Verrier and Helbig look a lot alike in my opinion, so it was hard to tell them apart.
There was an exercise where two players got on their knees facing each other, with one of them holding a ball to their chest. The other player then tackled them, and the ball-holder had to wriggle the ball out of the tackle and between their legs to a 3rd player. I think this was a new drill for the team, as the players didn't seem to be familiar with it at all.
I'm really starting to dislike Connors. One time in a stoppage drill he kicked the ball into the forward 50 at Houli, who couldn't reach the ball in time to mark it. This was 90% Connors' fault for a short pass, but he didn't hesitate to yell "stuffing hell, Bash, lead! What kind of effort is that?!" It wasn't in a joking tone either. The guy just seems like a prick to me.
Rance's kicking has definitely stepped up, as has his leadership. He's tied as loudest with Jack and Kingy. The team definitely respects him.
There was a handball-only drill that was VERY fast with ferocious tackling. I was wincing every now and then because players were being tackled hard and twisted here and there. Was praying for no injuries. Thankfully, none occurred.
Again, I'm positive I've missed a lot of things. Phone was nearly dead so couldn't take notes like last time. I'll chime in with comments when somebody else posts a report. :gotigers
-
I've read about Titch putting on weight and was skeptical but he is noticeably bigger, should help his game. Sheds' hands are as good as ever. Has great vision.
Maric is big and solid but is going to be a bit of a plodder, where Gus seems more athletic but sloppy with marking and kicking. Can't agree with the plodder part. Graham finished a little ahead of him in the 5 minute timed run, but Maric has him covered easily in agility, short bursts of speed, and general awareness
Arnot looks like a midget body builder but does alright with the ball. They weren't in drills, but he missed most of his targets when the players were casually jogging between places on the ground
-
Tucky and Houli came to the area where people were watching to sign autographs afterwards.

report from MOTiger on BF.
Training 14/2
First out were Moore and Griffiths just doing slow laps then Astbury joined them after about 3-4 laps, by this time most of the squad was out on the ground warming up and kicking the ball back a forth. one of the assistance had a specky bag on and all the taller players were practicing taking grabs over him. JR was clear best but i still still don't think he is 100% yet moved well just looks like he is taking it easy. TV, Miller, Post and McGuane where prob next best didn't drop any just didn't look as clean as JR. Derrickx and Elton dropped a few but not the worst of the bunch. Ivan is loads better mark than Brown and Graham, he actually got off the ground. Brown was a little better than Graham and when he drops them he gets a little frustrated. Wright and Darrou looked ok. From this drill i can tell why Grimes punches the ball a lot, he could keep balance when in the air so he kept falling off the bag.
First drill was kick to kick but every 2-3 min they would change the approach like roll the ball pick it up and kick off a few steps, every player on one side would have the ball facing one of the goals the whistle would blow they would run back like they have taken a mark the whistle will blow again they have to turn to their partner and kick it like they are switching play. Over all the skills were good not many missed kicks.
second drill was a contested ball drill where there was 4 teams of 10 with one team defending one team attacking (both with 8 on the pitch) on two different pitches about 10 meters wide and 30 long the closest pitch the attacking team had to move the ball up the ground by hand and when they moved the ball to a certain point they had to kick the ball to a leading forward, the defending team had to cause a turn over. the other pitch was on the far side of PRO so i didn't get a good look at what was going on but it looked like the attacking team had to move the ball up the pitch by hand and handball the ball through the goals, not 100% sure. after each team had about 4 min attacking and 4 min defending they swapped pitches. Outside the usual good performers (Cotchin, Martin, Foley, Lids, JR ect.) Conca attacked and defended really well as did batchelor. Morris Defended like a beast, hates getting beaten. Arnot was really aggressive left his spot in the "zone" a lot to lay a tackle or intercept a pass on the other side of the pitch leaving a massive hole for someone to run into. if the move worked out for him it looked good but if it didn't the attacking team moved the ball over that side and move it with ease. Dea is a lot like Morris.
Third drill was a lot like the the second but on a larger scale the attacking team had to move the ball up to the opposite end of the centre square. The boundary line went straight up the ground from the intersection of the 50 and the boundary line so it was shaped like a rectangle with a semi circle on the end. They were split up into 3 groups of 13(pretty sure one was 14) with 12 on the pitch at one time. The group that wasn’t taking part in the drill were so tackling practice. (By this time i was getting really restless and not taking note, sorry)
Finally they split up into forwards, midfielders and defenders. Training with defenders were Dea, Morris, Rance, Verrier, Post, Grimes, McGuane, Houli, Wright and Darrou again they did a “zone” drill, half defend other half attack, again Morris impressed. Midfielders were Cotchin, Martin, Foley, Conca, Arnot, Newman, Batchelor, Jackson, Grigg and Deledio with Maric and Graham rucking. The ball was bounced and one ruck would go up and tap it to advantage of the midfielders (in teams of 3) who ever one the clearance would kick it to a coach then the team that lost set up a zone in a marked out box and had to stop the team that won the clearance from getting the ball back. Graham kept forgetting to get into the zone or attack Lade was getting very frustrated. Forwards just kicked for goal.
Maric, Graham, Wright and Brown stayed out to do some contested marking (at first brown was doing tap work but after about 3 min of that moved over to do the marking). Maric was asking for the kicker to kick it to his opponents’ side. Wright looked buggered after the session but stayed out and got beaten in pretty much every contest, Maric was getting into his ear to stay out.
Other notes:
Lids trained in the main group and Brown was doing ruck training a lot during some of the drills.

I am being serious here surely the shop cannot open on Good Friday. No shops are allowed to open it is the law :shh
-
heaps of shops are open on good friday you catho zealot
-
heaps of shops are open on good friday you catho zealot
No need for the name calling
But in Victoria all retailers are legally required to close. This law applies to 2 days a year, Xmas & Good Friday ahs done now for a number of years. It used to include Easter Sunday until Ted's govt changed it last year
-
No they are not. There are exemptions and plenty of them lawman.

im very surprised that they are open.
tomorrow and xmas days only 2 days that really
retailers dont open.
so we can assume that the RFC shop isnt classed
as a retailer, interesting.
might be to do with amount of staff they employ?

Heard a Minister (can't remember which one) on the wireless this morning, she was pretty strong on the govt coming down hard on those who intend to open. And seeing poor ted and his govt are in a bit of financial trouble right at the minute (where did those policies go) I can just see them fining anyone and everyone ;D

You've come along way since "No shops are allowed to open it is the law" in a short space of time :lol
The Superstore sells sporting goods, it's at a sporting venue (PRO), and i'm pretty confident it's appropriate to use footballs and wear football jumpers at that venue.

Personal view is they shouldn't be allowed to based on the law as it stands but if they do I just hope they checked & got the OK
if not and they get fined I am sure you'll cough up the $10k :thumbsup

Super Saturday returns
richmondfc.com.au
Tue 17 Apr, 2012
Richmond travels down the highway to take on Geelong on Sunday, but if you’re not making the trip, you can see the Tigers at Super Saturday this weekend.
The boys will be put through their paces at the ME Bank Centre from 11am, as they put the finishing touches on their preparations for the match against the Cats.
At the start of training, selected Richmond players will attempt kicking a football into a wheelie bin from 20 metres away.
Whoever comes closest to getting the ball into the bin - or, in fact, if they get it in - the number on their back will be the size of the discount on guernsey purchases in the Tigerland Superstore for the following 30 minutes.
And, as a special treat, a member of the Richmond coaching staff will make a speech to the Richmond fans during the session.
There will also be a DJ playing during training, and the opportunity for fans to get a player autograph at the conclusion of the session.
The Tigerland Superstore will also be open, from 9am-1pm.

Tigers train in enemy territory
By Paul Daffey
Thu 19 Apr, 2012
RICHMOND held a training session at Simonds Stadium on Thursday ahead of the clash against Geelong, the ground's tenant, on Sunday.
Richmond did something unusual in that they held their main training session at the ground.
The Tigers trained there for 90 minutes, mostly at the southern end.
While Simonds Stadium is difficult for opposition teams at any time, it's even tougher this year because the stand at the southern end, the Doug Wade Stand, has been demolished as part of the stadium's redevelopment.
The stand's absence has left a gap for the wind to rush in off Bass Strait.
The Cats' local knowledge is a decided advantage. The Tigers have tried to pick up some knowledge of their own.
Richmond had the better of the conditions when it defeated the Cats by 59 points at Simonds Stadium during the NAB Cup.
The only gaps in that instance were in the Geelong defence.

In that photo there's a significant difference between Wallace and Hardwick as coaches - Hardwick is hands on and getting dirty with his players, Wallace would have watched and directed that exercise from the boundary line.

Actually Wallace used to play CHF in the intra clubs which means he was a great coach.

OK. I'm back from Cazaly's, fed and watered, and plugged in to some power. So here goes.
A Suns spy was sitting at the table next to me, so I won't be giving any secrets away. The team came out at five pm and trained for about an hour. The wind was blowing straight down the ground from the Melville road end, just like last year, except it wasn't quite as strong today. Id call it a 2-3 goal breeze. It was very hard to kick a goal into the wind at training.
The squad of 25 were all in attendance plus Jacko and Dusty. In the rehab group were Griff, Titch and The People's Mullet. None of the three looked overly despondent, so there is a chance that all three could get up for the game. Titch joined in a couple of the drills, but the other two didn't do much.
Dusty and Jacko were doing their penance. They were the defenders in all the drills, doing a lot of hard chasing and finished training with eight timed 400's. Jacko set the pace and Dusty kept with him, although he was working pretty hard for the final couple.
Training consisted mainly of moving the ball from stoppages, around the ground, to a leading forward, who then took a shot on goal. Players on both the attacking and defending sides ran patterns, forming either a press or a defensive zone, depending on the play. It was particularly noticable to see the effort the guys without the ball put in to running to position.
Three players who were mentioned as suspect through the week looked fine, Nahas, Newy and Morris trained strongly. Kingy was also at training, with a compression bandage on his knee. He was running 100's, but only in a straight line.
Any questions, fire away.

There was no easing into pre-season training for the young Richmond players, who started their 2013 campaign yesterday.
According to highly-promising defender, Dylan Grimes, it was an intense first-up session for the Club’s players with 1-3 years’ AFL experience, who were the first group to return, to start the Tigers’ pre-season.
It’s Richmond’s first pre-season under the guidance of the Club’s new Elite Performance Manager, Peter Burge, and changes are already evident . . .

Here's a pic of Helbig yesterday.

There was no easing into pre-season training for the young Richmond players, who started their 2013 campaign yesterday.
According to highly-promising defender, Dylan Grimes, it was an intense first-up session for the Club’s players with 1-3 years’ AFL experience, who were the first group to return, to start the Tigers’ pre-season.
It’s Richmond’s first pre-season under the guidance of the Club’s new Elite Performance Manager, Peter Burge, and changes are already evident . . .

Yeah true.
Gee he has bulked up!!!
-
I think the unknown player in the video is one of the Irish boys from the combine. It's either Bradley or Hurley if that is the case. My money is on Hurley due to his height (195cms)......a smokey could be Dylans brother Tom....... :-\

So that's Arnot, Dea, Astbury, Elton, Griffiths, Morris, Derickx, Ellis, Martin and Verrier (I think on the end). The two hidden ones must be Grimesy and O'Hanlon. Batch also at training today.
No Helbig or Conca as far as the young blokes.
-
Just looking at the various pics of the boys ,it struck me how big some of them have got eg Dea and Helbig.Now I am no expert on athlete conditioning so was wondering if anyone here knows if its possible to get so big in such a short period of time.I mean they only have had 8 weeks off since they finished playing.
-
If your starting from a good base (which most of thses guys are) it takes about 6 weeks working out 2-3 times a week to start showing good results.
-
Later this week, the full Richmond squad will train for the first time together in the 2013 pre-season.

From the Australian:
Richmond players will start serious pre-season programs this week, with only Brett Deledio (knee), recruit Troy Chaplin (knee) and Jake King missing or on restricted work due to surgery.

Wouldn't read to much into the "vests" al
look at the other pics Grieg and Mini Maric are in the orange tops and they aren't in the rehab group.
Reckon you'll find Vickery is joining in all non contact training at this stage so no vest needed ;D
-
yeah, possibly is only working with a non contact group.
the orange vests are just to identify teams in competitive drills aren't they?

Tigers' 2km time trial at Princes Park this morning.
The time trial was won by young gun Brandon Ellis, with Daniel Jackson - who wasn't at full pace - and untried defender Matt Arnot on his heels.
Missing from the pack were those in the rehab group, including Jack Riewoldt (hip), Nathan Foley (achilles), Chris Newman (still on leave), Troy Chaplin (knee) and Jake King, while Ivan Maric and Brett Deledio were also absent.
Former Collingwood ruckman Cameron Wood and ex-Cat Orren Stephenson ran but recent Gold Coast youngster Josh Toy was absent with illness.
The trio have been invited to train with the Tigers ahead of Thursday's NAB AFL Draft and the December pre-season and rookie drafts, along with former player Addam Maric.

Yesterday's time-trial was won by Brandon Ellis, who appears to have bulked up yet retained his pace, with Daniel Jackson and Matt Arnot also in the placings.
There were a few absentees from the 7am Princes Park time-trial.
Chris Newman is not due back until next week.
Jack Riewoldt (hip clean-up), Nathan Foley (achilles surgery), Jake King (numerous surgeries) and former Port Adelaide backman Troy Chaplin (knee) are in the rehabilitation group.
Dustin Martin, who the club is counselling in terms of his off-field behaviour, took part in the time-trial and looks leaner than he has in past seasons.

Good early preseason signs for Ellis :thumbsup.
Hopefully Arnot is one that can surprise next year and add to our midfield depth.
Did Grimsey have an op on his hand/wrist?

Most likely especially with Dimma wanting a spread of goalkickers rather than bombing it to Jack. However in saying that, if you include finals, 4 goals per game (one goal a quarter) over 25 weeks isn't unrealistic even with the tight defensive structures oppositions apply in modern footy.

According to RFCO, we're training at Vic Park as of next week.

So let me get this straight - the RFC won't train at Craigieburn a facility built for them with a MCG size ground because it is too far away from Punt Road but will travel down to Sandringham?
Righteo then ::) ::)

Craigieburn is a hole. Sandringham is a nice drive to a nice middle class suburb which also allows the boys to get to the beach for a swim or a recovery session from a hard training session.

How would you know IIRC you've ever been out there to check out Highgate Reserve abnd the facility that is out there?
My point is they sooked about having to travel out to Craigieburn but you don't hear the same sooking about Sandringham, Moorabbin etc
Funny how Craigieburn was a great idea when they couldn't move cricket off Punt Road. And I've said it before without having to outlay $0.01 they had a facility built for them, to their requested specifications (read the size of the MCG) and now the shun it for reasons that have nver really been clearly explained outside of it's too far to travel ::)

Foley said a while back that he expected to be back running by late December.
He's not though. He's still on that NextG running machine thingo
has he reached the 50% weight yet?
Last I heard 20
Nope just before Xmas again think I heard it at the AGM he was up to or just over 50% body weight
Any word on how long until Axel will be near 100% body weight and back to being able to run normally?
About 3 years.

My expectations of Foley making a meaningful and sustained contribution from here on are very low.
He's a bonus from here on if he makes it back onto the park but I sense the Axe of old may never be seen again..

I think us supporters are rightly sceptical of any info that comes out of RFC regarding nathan.I mean wasnt it the RFC who initially told us it was a bruised heel,and that on at least one occasion he was a bees dick away from playing that week(i paraphrased here)

Foley - bee's dick, 10 months
I hear you don't come back from bees dick :banghead

MadTiger's training report too. I hope he doesn't mind me posting it here before he does as he is a OER regular :).
I probably missed half the session. All I saw was a game of about 12 on 12. Didn't see Deledio or Reiwoldt. Not sure if Batchelor, Foley and Conca were there either. Otherwise every other players was there. All the new players from the draft and trade period were there. Jacko, Helbig, Lonergan and Verrier were doing laps. Maric, Derrickx(injured) and Petterd were just hanging around. King was having shots. Can't remember if Grimes and Chaplin played in the game but Grimes was moving fine and having shots later. The game was nothing to get excited about. Went for about 15 mins and I can't remember anything anyway lol. After that they all did some laps and went in.

This is not good at all if that was what he has been told.
He needs to find a decent, smart girl to shape him up and Cotchin and Newman to take him under there wing.
Surely he realises that with Cotchin, Deledio, Reiwoldt and himself, he has an opportunity to be a great Tiger!!!

How is Nick V tracking?
He seemed to get better as the All-Stars game went along. Interesting to see how he goes in the NAB Cup which presumably we'll treat a bit more seriously as a team with most of our stars back playing in it.

I am hoping he will get as much opportunity as Ellis last year, I think you can see how Ellis has flourished, these are the guys we need to get game time into. Still he has to be good enough, so NAB Cup will show how he is progressing. At the same time you would hate any player to have a shocker in the NAB Cup and be consigned to VFL for the year.
As always for new recruits it's fingers crossed and trust our selectors who have done a great job the last 2 years.

The thing that differs between Ellis and Vlastuin is their endurance. Ellis already had near-elite level endurance before he was drafted, whereas it's Vlastuin's weakness. I reckon we might see Nick play as the substitute. If he ends up starting, I'd say he's a very high chance to be the one subbed off in the 3rd quarter or so.

Hardwick said the Tigers' pre-season had been impressive.
"It's been a lot better," Hardwick said. "The training age of our team has improved so that means we can get more training into our guys.
"We've had a new fitness regime come in and we've been really impressed with that one.
"We've been pleased with what we've been able to put on the track. The thing that has been noticeable is that the boys can handle more work, compared to last year."

Petterd sent back at Tigers
By Jennifer Phelan
afl.com.au
2:43pm AEDT Friday, February 15, 2013
RICHMOND rookie Ricky Petterd has impressed in his first official hit-out in the yellow and black, playing across half-back in the Tigers' intraclub match on Friday morning.
Petterd, 24, played nearly three quarters of the scratch match between a 'probables' and 'possibles' side at Punt Road before coming off at the final break.
He won plenty of the ball and appeared to blow out some cobwebs after spending his first months at the club getting over Achilles surgery.
Before the game, coach Damien Hardwick said the Tigers were keen to see what Petterd could do in a role at the opposite end of the ground to where he largely played at Melbourne.
"He's been really impressive in the drills we've done," Hardwick said.
"It's a role that he played earlier in his career and that's where we see him suited.
"Earlier in his career he played down back and he played quite well so we're certainly looking forward to seeing how he goes down there.
"We think he can add something, he's a good height, he's a versatile type player and we think he'll be a solid contributor for us."
Petterd's presence across half-back released former skipper Chris Newman into a new position ahead of centre, where he set up several forward forays.
As a rookie, the ex-Demon will need to be elevated to the senior list ahead of the season if he is to be considered for selection.
It was a match that was easily 'won' by the yellow 'probables' team but many players switched colours after half-time to even up the contest.
Other highlights of the often-scrappy hit-out included Ty Vickery, who marked strongly overhead playing forward before spending the last quarter in the ruck against Tom Derickx.
Vickery didn't play again after round 11 last year owing to shoulder surgery but has had an outstanding pre-season.
Captain Trent Cotchin, Jack Riewoldt, Brett Deledio, Ivan Maric and Bachar Houli were among those who didn't face the Indigenous All Stars in Alice Springs last Friday night to play.
Cotchin moved well but missed a few shots at goal, Riewoldt looked imposing and took some good marks, and a fit-looking Deledio stood out and finished off with a couple of goals.
Maric rucked well before kicking two goals in the last quarter when he was moved forward, and defender Steven Morris was solid and went for a few runs up the ground.
Luke McGuane found the scoreboard multiple times after lining up in attack for the 'probables' while Shaun Grigg played well and booted two second-half goals.
Reece Conca and Brandon Ellis built on their promising form against the All Stars with notable performances.
Defender Ben Griffiths played a half and Houli three quarters, with both joining Petterd for some run throughs on the ground's far side in the fourth term.
The only blight was when Matt White appeared to injure his right foot in the third quarter.
The midfielder came off and had it treated on the sidelines before testing it out at the final change. He then headed into the rooms and wasn't seen again.
The club later confirmed White was fine and had only suffered bruising.
Defender Alex Rance didn't play after he injured his ankle when tackled on Thursday, but acted as a runner along with Jake King and missed as a precaution.
Mature-age rookie Orren Stephenson also didn't play but is not understood to be injured after facing the All Stars last week.
Hardwick reported defender Troy Chaplin and rookie Sam Lonergan would make their first appearances in the second or third weeks of the NAB Cup.

Yes thank you OE, very good, clean disposal, very happy!

So going by the pics and video:
Probables (yellow team): Newman, Deledio, Martin, Grigg, Riewoldt, Cotchin, S.Edwards, Astbury, Houli, McGuane, Maric, Tuck, Jackson, Griffiths, Nahas, Vickery, Conca, Morris, Ellis, Petterd.
Possibles (red team): Knights, Elton, Vlastuin, Dea, Derickx, A.Edwards, Verrier, Arnot, Darrou, McIntosh, McBean, McDonough, Williams + Coburg ring-ins.
Absent: Grimes, Rance, Chaplin, King, Foley, Lonergan, Stephenson, Simon
Not sure about - White (both sides?), Batchelor, Helbig and O'Hanlon.
So it was a very lopsided match-up.

Petterd sent back at Tigers
By Jennifer Phelan
afl.com.au
2:43pm AEDT Friday, February 15, 2013
RICHMOND rookie Ricky Petterd has impressed in his first official hit-out in the yellow and black, playing across half-back in the Tigers' intraclub match on Friday morning....
...The only blight was when Matt White appeared to injure his right foot in the third quarter.
The midfielder came off and had it treated on the sidelines before testing it out at the final change. He then headed into the rooms and wasn't seen again.
The club later confirmed White was fine and had only suffered bruising...

Looks like it needs to be re-laid. Think they started using it too soon. Has dried out, join lines visible again, doesn't look like it has knitted at all any more. Certainly doesn't look like the 'G.

Probably needs some rain on it or perhaps they should do what they do at Augusta for the Masters and plant rye grass amongst the browned off grass to make it look green for the tournament.

Always thought they started using it too early, especially considering how dry it's been since late November

Stats from practice match
From MOTiger on BF:
i was there for a bit of training and there wasn't any full hit out. 16 a side drill where the ball started in a stoppage in defense and had to work their way up the field. Grimes trained in the weaker side and trained well, while Foley was just running intervals and looked to be running freely.

It was a very very very light session. Basically just a light kick around of the footy. Nothing really of note to take from the session.
Though I did see Griffiths take a set shot from 50m that went straight through at the height of the post.

Second chance for Batsanis?
Nathan Schmook
November 11, 2013 2:20 PM
RICHMOND could hand VFL midfielder Nathan Batsanis a second AFL chance after the 25-year-old made an impact as the Tigers returned to pre-season training on Monday morning.
Batsanis, who was recruited by Port Adelaide in the 2007 NAB AFL Rookie Draft but never played an AFL game, has pushed himself back into draft calculations over the past three seasons.
A premiership wingman with VFL club Port Melbourne in 2011, he moved to SANFL club Norwood in 2012 and finished fourth in the Magarey Medal before returning to the Borough this year.
On Monday, he joined the Tigers' first- to fourth-year players for the club's first session of the pre-season and sat alongside leader Brandon Ellis in the running drills.
Richmond is deciding whether to use its pick No.68 in the 2013 NAB AFL Draft, while it also has rookie vacancies after Sam Lonergan retired, Ricky Petterd was elevated and Steven Verrier was delisted.
Boasting speed and a long kick, Batsanis would add depth to the Tigers' young midfield at a time when the club is expected to push for back-to-back finals appearances for the first since 1974-75.

Richmond is deciding whether to use its pick No.68 in the 2013 NAB AFL Draft, while it also has rookie vacancies after Sam Lonergan retired, Ricky Petterd was elevated and Steven Verrier was delisted.
Boasting speed and a long kick, Batsanis would add depth to the Tigers' young midfield at a time when the club is expected to push for back-to-back finals appearances for the first since 1974-75.
The club will have a standalone VFL team in 2014, so Batsanis could be on the Tigers' radar to add to their second-string stocks next season.
Ellis was the standout performer in Monday morning's 90-minute session, which was run by head of development Mark Williams, who remains a lead candidate for the vacant St Kilda coaching position.
Midfielder Dustin Martin returned to training and, while not appearing out of shape, placed at the tail of the group in the running drills.
Young midfielder Reece Conca, who re-signed with the club in September for three years, trained lightly as he recovers from a serious hamstring injury suffered in the Tigers' elimination final loss to Carlton.
The 21-year-old underwent surgery in September and will be on limited duties through November and December before progressing into full training in January.
Brad Helbig, Matt Dea and Liam McBean were others on light duties, while Matt Arnot walked laps as he recovers from a stress fracture in his back.
After three seasons interrupted by injury, defender Dylan Grimes took part in the opening session of the pre-season in an encouraging sign.
Captain Trent Cotchin and vice-captain Brett Deledio made appearances track side but did not train, with the senior players due back on November 25.

VIDEO: Tigers to step up in pre-season
Richmond’s Elite Performance Manager, Peter Burge talks about the upcoming preseason:
http://www.afl.com.au/video?guid=597009
Summary:
* It's been a long break but everyone have been doing their programs. We've certainly got some work installed for them and they experienced that yesterday with their first day back which is good.
* Pre-Christmas will be more fitness based, with an individual skills focus. Given it’s a young group, there still is a pretty heavy emphasis on conditioning. We have to step up to some new levels with some of our guys, and they’ve got to set themselves some high standards with their conditioning.
* Everyone has an individual focus. With the football side of things, their football stuff gets broken down into the areas they need to improve on, and it’s the same with the conditioning. So those that need to do more strength work will do that while those that need a more conditioning focus will do that.
* When all the older boys get back, the program will progress. It won’t change too much, but it’ll probably just get harder. It will be a pretty solid pre-Christmas period. Last year, with a new program, they experienced about 80% of the program's capacity and being a new program I didn't want to tip them over the edge. But now that I know them and they understand the program, we'll be able to step it up and take them to some new levels.
* Increasing the program is increasing the duration or intensity, number of reps, that sort of stuff. So now we've got some good information on the guys and where they sit physically, we can look to build on that and set some new targets which we will achieve.
* This year we're going to stay in Melbourne and not have a preseason camp. Given the AFL pre-season is a little bit shorter due to the earlier start of the season, we're going to do it all at home and with our new facilities - we haven't been on the ground for not even 12 months - it's all fairly new and we feel we don't need to go anywhere to get that training. So we'll do that here and prepare in Melbourne.
* Right now we have 18 players back and only four of those are in rehab and really a few of them are only short term; should be back with the main group in 2-3 weeks. Over the whole list we are looking better than last year - we started with 13 guys in rehab last year; this year it's probably around 10 and really only two of those need a little bit longer; they're expected to go to around Christmas. So we feel we are in a pretty good position [ed. touchwood].
-
That 80% thing is a lie. Maaaaa the meatloafffff

When you make comments like that can u elaborate
-
So who are the players on the long term injury list? Knights would be one I guess.

Knights isn't due back yet so he isn't in the four currently in rehab that Burge was talking about
The four are:
Conca
Dea
Helbig
McBean
*** It's in an article on page 1 of this thread
-
Yeah and I think that's Matt Arnott (spine stress fracture) and not Matt Dea.

Great to see the competitive work and Darrou going real hard. Looks like a completely different bloke from last year. Obviously they're going to pick out the best bits for the video, but looks like there is more than enough to work with and definitely worth keeping around and fully developing him. Fingers crossed featuring him so much in video means he's getting a bit of mongrel about him.
I hope too that the emphasis on the competitive work in that video isn't just an off season fluff thing, and that we're going to be a bit more aggressive next year
-
Why and when did we delist Piva Wright ?
-
Was that batch with the beard?
-
Ideally darrou would force out Chaplin
And form the formidable rance-grimes-darrou Trinity
-
Why and when did we delist Piva Wright ?
Piva was a diva
-
To quote Harvey Keitel in Pulp Fiction.
"Well,let's not start sucking each other's dix just yet"
-
My concern with Darrou is his one-on-one contesting in defence is ordinary when I've seen him play at Coburg and it would be exposed and exploited by the opposition at AFL level. While he might have the physical size to play key defence, he plays more like a mid-sized defender who distributes the ball across and out of the backline.

After fading away badly in the second half of the Elim. Final (as well in some other games during the year), I would hope we'd be working on bettering our fitness levels to maintain our intensity for longer over four quarters.

How is Da roo's disposal?

How is Da roo's disposal?
I don't think it's too bad. It's not what concerns me as far him making it. His offensive traits once he has the ball are promising and he finds the footy often enough when playing off his man. However, it's his positioning and efforts or lack of in contests, especially aerial ones, that make me think he won't make it.

did Gideon Simon train?

Biggest things I take from the photos is how small McBean's arms still are and how big Flossy has become already. Vlaustin seems to be almost rivaling Dusty is muscle atm. :o

McBean doesn't have the frame to stack on lots of muscle quickly. It will be a gradual process I expect. His key strength is his agility so you also don't want him stacking on too much anyway.

That's awesome news. He'll be right for round 1 if he's in the best 22 at that stage

From Tone Greenberg @TigerlandTone twitter:
"RFC training. Lots & lots of running around the white line. 55-60 secs per lap is quick. 75 for Ladey. Hampson = huge unit."
"as ever, Ben [Griffiths] looks great. I would love to see him tried on a wing. Forward in drills. Not much 1 on 1 stuff with him, so hard to say [whether mongrel factor has improved]. He was tackling etc fine, but I'm looking forward to seeing him on the lead"
"It's 8 January, and it's a training session, but of the draftees Nick Nathan Gordon is a real standout. Top runner and real urgency. He's a seasoned player, but he's really really fit"
Dusty - "Excellent. He's gliding, but owns the ball when it's in his hands. Looks terrific."
"knights yes there today, and running well. Conca no. It's a full on session."
O'Hanlon - "holding the crash bag very well. Silly handballing drills at present doesn't give his left leg a chance to shine. He's really solid. He is owning the space 40-75m out in simulation. Playing through him a lot. No puppy fat now either. Best when roosting. Gun"
Arnot - "Doing laps. As muscly as ever, but not part of main group yet. Have to manage that back"
Lennon - "he's no rake. But no noticeable size change. I personally cannot see Lennon playing R1. No expert, but Vlas waited a while and he's got a long career ahead"
McDonough - " I think he'll always be a solid shape. Running with Ellis though, kicking too. Lovely leg on him. His disposal is silk. Not a small fwd, he's a midfielder and I think he'll really push"
Astbury - "Number 12 is travelling nicely, looks slimmer and has a lot of sunscreen on"
Riewoldt - "It's often forgotten, but: Nick Riewoldt: 193cm Jack: 195cm Don't tell him, but Jack looks great. #CHF. I think that's a focus [a bigger tank]. He is slimmer."
McBean - "laps. Needs to eat more bacon."
Foley - "Glad you asked. Moving really really well and doing everything. A standout. Wallace said best trainer he's seen"
"Ben Darrou will never win a Stawell Gift, but closing speed is excellent and a fine fist on him. Big year needed, but high ceiling"
"Session 3 hours old now. No fluids on the field, either. Planning for fewer trainers? Dimma's made some poor umpiring calls."
Q. Any positional changes appearing likely for players? where will new draftees play etc?
A. Hard to say given everyone's all over the place, though Elton is FF in drills. Newy wing/ fwd. Ellis midfield. Vlas back
"And we're done. Good session, with Ellis, Vlas, Rance (in most days over the break, with Astbury), BOH & Gordon the standouts."
Q. nice, he [Gordon] could play the role left vacent by whitey possibly?
A. There are plenty if candidates. Chris Knights, for one. Expect big competition for spots 16-22."
"Only 8 January, but the number of RFC (senior & rookie) players not expected to be available for Round 1 = 0." ............ [ touchwood ]
Q. Alright Tone, time for a speculative question - who is 2014's biggest improver?
A. Hmm. Tough to tell from just training, but Kamdyn McIntosh physically, and O'Hanlon as a player."

He also mentioned that McIntoshes change in body is startling. Grown 4cm since draft. Wing beckons

Heat wave won't stop training plans

January 13, 2014 5:35 PM
IT WILL be business as usual for the majority of Victorian and South Australian clubs this week despite the expected four-day heat wave.
Both states will be hit by searing temperatures with Melbourne's mercury tipped to reach 41, 39, 41 and 40 between Tuesday and Friday.
Hawthorn typically holds skills sessions early in the morning over the pre-season and will continue to do so this week, as will Richmond.

Others on light duties included Ivan Maric, Ricky Petterd, Ty Vickery, Ben Griffiths, Todd Banfield, Matt Thomas, Brett O'Hanlon and Matt Dea.
A virus has swept through the group this week, which kept Dustin Martin and Jake King from training on Friday.
Chris Newman, Brett Deledio, Nick Vlastuin, Dan Jackson, Chris Knights and Matt McDonough have also been struck down at times this week.

Ch 7 news last night said Dimma put the boys through a tough training session yesterday. Cotch and Jacko jogged laps away from the main group.
-
Richmond have taken a different approach in the lead-up, casting aside concerns about a six-day break with an old-school approach at training.
Comprehensively beaten in the contested-possession count in their past three losses to Melbourne, Essendon and North Melbourne, the Tigers began training yesterday with assistant coach Mark Williams screaming at players to keep fighting as they battled desperately for the ball in a confined ring of cones.
Other players competed for contested marks, while a third group was constantly chasing and tackling. The competitive element continued even when players were excused for a drink, Alex Rance and Jake Batchelor pushing and wrestling as they ran 60m to the boundary.
Clubs often give their players a light week when they have only six days to recover.
The Tigers have another six-day break next week, making it even more likely they'd have been wary of taxing their players at training.

-
more of that please coaching staff. Train them hard at skills & strength :thumbsup
-
Run them into the ground especially Morris, Lids and Cotch.

Williams can shout at them all he likes at training.
BUT come game day you've either got the internal desire or you haven't.
You can't fabricate that or teach it.

Richmond is likely to have almost all of its players available for the first days of pre-season training in November.
The Tigers’ only injury concerns surround the few players who had surgery after the 2014 season, including Steven Morris, Matt Thomas and Ben Lennon.
Morris (shoulder) and Lennon (hip) are expected to return to main training by mid December, while Thomas (knee) will resume after the Christmas break.
Richmond’s 1-4 year players will begin pre-season training on November 10, with the rest of the playing group scheduled to return on November 24.

Yes Lennon has bulked up, that means little though.

Means little but is a good sign, it isn't easy bulking up and some unlucky people find it near impossible (Dylan Grimes). One of my main concerns for Lennon was he wouldn't be able to put on size and would be confined to being a skinny outsider. Also shows his determination and willingness to put in the hard work

Lennon should be sliming down, he needs to run run run.

Sheesh..Lennon is beginning to look like fatty arbuckle

The Tigers did a 3km time trial today around Princes Park ...

According to Nathan Gordon, everyone ran good times so Burge was happy with how the boys performed.
Conca, Lloyd and McBean had the most impressive runs.
I'm guessing the unfamiliar faces in the video clip were from our VFL list?

RICHMOND players contested a three-kilometre trial on Saturday with speedy forward Nathan Gordon leading the Tigers around Princes Park.
Hard-nosed midfielder Brandon Ellis ran second from Reece Conca.
Mature-aged recruit Sam Lloyd and Tigers wunderkind Liam McBean registered competitive times.

That's interesting, I didn't think Gordon or Lloyd had that tank...good to see another preseason under their belt might help. Would like to see if their pace has increased and not just their stamina.
-
I thought that a big tank was one of Gordon's strong points when he came to the club?
-
who were the bottom 5?

Yeah I thought that was pretty much his go to praise. "he ran all day" "he ran 16km in half a game" "we call him red dog" etc.

I'm not sure taz but, ignoring long the hair, there's a resemblance to former Carlton rookie Jaryd Cachia who has joined our VFL side.
The guy on the far right of the same pic is ex-Bendigo Gold footballer Jake Aarts, who has signed up with our VFL side.

From Dan Richardson's interview on the RFC website ....
All 1-4 year players have trained well and by enlarge you can tell they've done extra work over the break such as Conca and Lloyd. Lloyd has dropped a couple of kilos during the break. We see him and McDonough filling that small forward role. Both have come back in good shape.

I actually don't know this year :-\. Usually we get a chance to see the new draftees at training on the Monday morning following the draft but this year the whole squad including the newbies are heading up to Townsville on Saturday for our preseason camp.
I'm guessing there will be an open public training session sometime in December as in previous years. Something to ask RFC_Official about.

Hearing on the grapevine that Asbury is looking really good in his recovery and Hunt is a elite endurance runner..
It's not a surprise to learn that 19 YO Drummond stands out amongst the recruits, but Lambert and Menadue are pretty good as well. There has been a lot of good vibes around Lambert.
McIntosh yes, training well, Lennon not yet, coming back from surgery slowed him I heard.

Conca back on track after knee surgery
Nathan Schmook
afl.com.au
January 21, 2015 12:40 PM
RICHMOND midfielder Reece Conca has returned to training just nine days after minor knee surgery, ensuring the 22-year-old is on track for the Tigers' NAB Cup campaign.
Conca, who did not miss a session pre-Christmas, was running laps for much of Wednesday's gruelling session in hot conditions.
He was joined on light duties by prized draftee Corey Ellis, who was monitored closely as he returns from foot surgery, running laps with a trainer at Punt Road Oval.
Vice-captain Brett Deledio, 27, was restricted to light touch work as he is managed through soreness.
Meanwhile, Shaun Grigg, Matt Dea, Nathan Gordon, Nathan Drummond and Daniel Butler completed laps and a series of run-throughs.
The Tigers' main group was pushed in the heat, completing a lengthy running session before moving into more detailed ball-movement drills.
There was a focus on the team's rebound out of defensive 50m, with tall backmen Alex Rance and Jake Batchelor playing key roles.

VIDEO: http://www.afl.com.au/video/2015-01-21/tigers-training-report-as-young-star-returns
Star hey? That word gets thrown around a bit to much for my liking.
Agreed Dooks,
Star and gun are used way to freely in this generation.
-
Lets make up our own words
-
young plodder returns...
-
Conca returns.
-
What happened to Conca to need surgery?
-
What happened to Conca to need surgery?
Sounded like a little meniscal tear and therefore a "tidy up" arthroscope.

The video froze just before he took the mark and started again with Vickery marking it. Not even my computer believes it's possilbe :gobdrop

Hampson outmarked Maric. Video is clearly a hoax, and an offensive one at that.

Mark Stevens' twitter said that we had an intra-club this morning. More on 7 tonight.
-
Who won... ;D
-
Hammer kicked 5, Grigg had 55 touches and kept Cotch to 3, Vickery kicked 8 and had 17 contested marks on Rance and Newman turned the clock back with a dominant game off the half back flank, keeping Dustin Martin to 7 touches and no goals.
-
Grigg did kick a couple actually! Was a locked out session so I had to watch through the fence which for a 15 year member is just bulltish.
Martin the standout as was Lambert for the new players.
-
Knights gave us a scare when it looked like he had done his knee again but he played on through it. I spotted him down Swan street later on with an ice pack on his quad. May have just been a corky.

Riewoldt 5 goals
McBean 3
Deledio 2
Grigg 2
Lambert 2
Aarts (VFL) 2
Dusty dominant in the midfield.
Lids and Conca got through the session and most importantly everyone got through unscathed.

Ch 7 sports report next up after the break with some footage from the Tiges' intra-club today.

Lambert should play rnd 1
-
How did Fyfe Two Menadue & Plugger McKenzie go?
-
Menedue was very good taking a couple of nice marks in defense. Beautiful skills and Will take Griggs role as Grigg will be our tagger! McKenzie had a good presence and took some good grabs. However he struggled to kick over 50 metres.
Surprised me:
Arnot playing midfield and doing well
Lloyd's fitness much improved.

Thanks guys, great stuff.. :thumbsup

:banghead :banghead :banghead Griggs scared of contested possessions how is he supposed to stop someone from getting them. Heppel tore him a new one, imagine him playing on someone like Ablett or Selwood
-
Latest word is that Super Coach has asked Pettifer & Tambling back to the club to give him specialist coaching for the role.........
-
Conca was running at full pace so no injury concerns.
-
even at full pace I still reckon the mars rover would be faster

Probably a bit harder to tell in an intra-club, but with all the pace we've added to the list over the off -season, did the side(s) look noticeably quicker?

SuperCoach scouting report: Who starred in weekend AFL intra-club matches
Al Paton
Herald-Sun
February 23, 2015 11:28AM
SEVEN AFL clubs have lifted the curtain on new recruits, new tactics and players who might be tried in new positions this season.
Intra-club games (and one exhibition match) offer a limited sample so it’s wise not to get too carried away just yet, but it does give us something to go on when making predictions for the year ahead — and picking our SuperCoach squads.
Here is the best info we gathered from week one of AFL 2015 action.
RICHMOND
Match simulation, Friday
— Jack Riewoldt ($450,800 fwd) was the dominant forward with five goals. Liam McBean ($123,900 fwd) kicked three
— Rookie Kane Lambert ($102,400 mid/fwd) kicked two goals and is clearly the fan favourite to take the final vacancy on the Tigers’ senior list before Round 1
— Brett Deledio ($553,300 mid/fwd) played the full game after the club admitted he had lingering Achilles soreness, also kicking two goals
— Dustin Martin ($534,400 mid/fwd) “was dominant through the midfield” according to the Tigers website
— No injuries reported

Match practice keeps Tigers sharp
richmondfc.com.au
March 6, 2015 5:20 PM
Richmond has this weekend off between official pre-season matches, but the players were put through some solid match-practice at the ME Bank Centre today.
The intra-club match, played in three periods, was another chance for Tiger players to put their hands up for positions in the Club’s best team, with Round 1 of the home-and-away season less than a month away.
Ty Vickery and Chris Knights each kicked three goals, while Sam Lloyd, Brandon Ellis, rookie Kane Lambert and the VFL-listed Nick Wynne booted two apiece.
Dustin Martin, Brett Deledio, Troy Chaplin, Nick Vlastuin and Ben Lennon were among the most dominant players on the ground.
“It was a really good chance for the players to have a hitout before they have a three-day break, when they’ll go away and have a well-earned rest,” said Richmond assistant coach Mark Williams.
“It’s very important to get match practice in when there’s no game on. We want to make sure we get the work into them that they need, keep their workload up, and also give them a chance to get out there and strut their stuff.
“The things we’re looking for are that we’re doing the basics well, making sure we hit our right kicks, making good decisions and creating opportunities for our team-mates to get themselves into space.
“We’re looking for really good ball movement, and for our defensive structures to be right.”

Tigers duo Lennon and Vlastuin hit the track
Ben Guthrie
November 13, 2015 12:28 PM
BEN Lennon and Nick Vlastuin are making solid headway in their returns from off-season hip surgery with the Tigers pair put through their paces at the club's first official pre-season training session on Friday.
Albeit within the constraints of the rehab group, Vlastuin and Lennon ran laps at a steady pace around Punt Road Oval as the Tigers' first to fourth-year players returned from holidays.
Vlastuin also completed some high intensity running during the hour-long session and appears to be slightly ahead of Lennon at this early stage.
In positive news for the Tigers, youngster Nathan Drummond has begun his running program as he returns from a serious knee injury.
Drummond, pick No.52 in last year's NAB AFL Draft, ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee in his first AFL match against Melbourne in April earlier this year.
In coach Damien Hardwick's absence, assistants Brendon Lade and Mark Williams were in charge of overseeing the session, which saw 10 players in full training.
There was a focus on decision making and finding the open target in continuous game-scenario drills, a chunk of training the players found particularly taxing.
Second-year midfielders Corey Ellis and Connor Menadue both stood out in the drills, alongside Brandon Ellis and Kamdyn McIntosh, and appear the players most likely to push for a regular senior spot in 2016.
After a light session on Friday, the players can expect a tougher Saturday with a time trial pencilled into their schedules.
The full squad is set to return to the club on November 27.

1st to 4th year players only today
Reckon Connar Menadue needs to eat a few steaks each day for the next 12 months ;D
Yeah I see that but look at McBean too, he needs to eat Menadue after Menadue eats the steaks..
-
Menadue shouldn't get a game until he puts on 5kg.
-
Robbie Flower played 272 matches at barely 70 kilos...Fletcher was as skinny as McBean for the first decade of his career and won two flags...they both played/began playing in eras that were far dirtier & more brutal than today's and with far less rotations....
-
McBean is becoming a joke. He looks like he's lost weight. If he can't get some size his time will be up before he knows it
-
Menadue has actually put on a bit of muscle around the upper chest shoulder area is most noticable. you can see he's put a bit on all over, certainly not massively, but you can see it, just.
-
Yes McBean is a worry. Please don't compare McBean to Robert Flower and Fletcher...not even size wise because Westhoff is bigger than McBean and he has come no where near those two.
-
I'd like to see a pic of Menadue standing next to Deledio ... don't reckon there would be much difference build-wise ...
It's not about how big your muscles are, its about how much power you can get out of them & how efficiently you can generate maximum power. The days of the muscle bound freaks are pretty much over, the new interchange cap will see to it ...
Forget the muscles, talk about their tank (which is hard to see in a picture).

Exactly.....and McBean just needs to work on his core strength, not putting on a lot of weight....his agilty is one of his main strengths...

A lot less contested junk going on too.
It's not the upper body stuff that bothers me. It's scrawny legs I can't stand. They don't need to be buff either, just at least look like there's some muscle there

Ellis impresses as Tigers return to track
Herald-Sun
14 November 2015
RICHMOND’S emerging midfielder Brandon Ellis picked up where he left off with an impressive start to another pre-season campaign.
Ellis was first across the line in an early morning time trial around Princes Park on Saturday morning.
He finished just ahead of midfielder Kamdyn McIntosh as fitness staff ticked off the returning fitness of a small group of the Tigers who ranged from second to fourth year players.
“The first one (time trial) is always the hardest one, I guess,’’ Ellis said.
“We’ve known about it for the last couple of weeks and the boys stressed about it a bit. But it’s over now and we can focus on footy until the Christmas break.’’
Ellis, 22, led the Tigers for marks and ranked second for kicks and handballs as one of 11 to play every game this season.
Other Stories
“I’ve had four solid pre-seasons now and I know what it’s about. Over the break, we had set programs and I followed that through. If you do that, you’re going to come back in pretty good condition,’’ he said.
“I’ll be in the older boys group next year and will come back two weeks later which will be nice to get a bit longer break.’’
The young Tigers were buoyed by the appearance of captain Trent Cotchin and senior defender Troy Chaplin, who joined in part of the early Saturday morning workout.
Cotchin, just back from travel-disrupted Bali, ran part of the lap with Liam McBean while Chaplin stayed back to urge on young forward Reece McKenzie near the tail of the small field.
The rest of the senior list, including Cotchin and Chaplin, will start training for the 2016 season at the Tigers’ Punt Road headquarters in two weeks.

Richmond’s young players were put through their first official test of the pre-season today, with a time trial around Princes Park.
The Club’s one to four year players spent their second morning of the pre-season racing the clock, on a 3km circuit around the iconic Carlton gardens.
Recap the Tigers’ first day of the pre-season training
Emerging midfielder Brandon Ellis crossed the line first, followed by Kamdyn McIntosh, with rookie Jason Castagna in third place.
Captain Trent Cotchin and experienced defender Troy Chaplin also made an appearance, encouraging their younger team-mates in the final stages of the run.
Pre-season training continues on Monday for the Tigers’ young brigade, with the whole playing group assembling on November 27.

In regard to lids and Menadue I think you might find that lids started in 2005 at 78 kgs ,and I'm thinking that might be heavier than what Menadue is now . Preseason would find lids at around 89 -90 kgs with all the off season weights , don't think dugong would be anywhere near that.

Where was he played last year at the start mate???????? Did it work, nope, that says it all and proves my point! He should have been left where he was. Now that he is stuffed we may as well try him everywhere and anywhere!!
-
So why not put him in defence and not as a tagger? :huh
-
has anyone that has been to training etc noticed any positional changes from this season?

How did he perform when moved back there? Not good, he is about shot and the Coach did not help by moving him or trying to change him into a forward!

They used to use lids as the kicker / play maker in th ground-long drills.
Then they plays him forward. So who knows.

Lennon aside, the Tigers are relatively blessed when it comes to the number of players currently in the rehabilitation group.
Forward Jack Riewold isn't yet involved in contact training after minor off-season shoulder surgery but ran laps on Friday and looked a trimmed-down picture of fitness.
He was joined by recent recruits Jacob Townsend, who is coming back from an ankle injury, and Chris Yarran, whose program is conditioning based at this stage.
Townsend is expected to take part in all of next week's training program.
Ruckman Shaun Hampson won't ramp things up until the New Year after ankle surgery but is back running, while youngster Corey Ellis is training well after an injury-interrupted debut season.

From Benny Griffiths' interview up in Cairns:
* We really need to get that ruthlessness about us. We’re all working extremely hard, against each other and against ourselves, to drive better standards and get better. The competition within the Club is great because it forces each and every one of us to train harder and get better, which, in turn, is a positive thing for the Club. I think the competition’s only going to be a really positive thing for us.”
* I think the annual pre-season camp is really important, especially for the younger guys who have just come into the Club,” he said. Obviously, they’ve got to learn a lot of guys’ names and this provides a pretty good opportunity because you’re around the guys almost 24/7. For the older guys, it’s learning how the new guys play. And then, as well for us, look to improve on the little things we need to improve on.
* Training in the heat definitely makes it a lot harder to recover, which we put a big emphasis on. It’s all about how quickly you can recover and go again. The taller guys are doing a lot of contested stuff, and that’s pretty solid up here, as it is back in Melbourne. It’s a good opportunity to get better.

From a Crows fan on BF who popped in to watch Richmond train this morning in Cairns:
------------------------------------
... Was a really gruelling 2.5 hour session with plenty of ball work, then about 3km's worth of running at the end. Don't know too much about Richmond so I might be repeating what everyone already knows, but the following stood out:
-Rioli won the running drills, and by a fair margin. He looked a bit raw when it came to doing some basic ball work though. Steve Morris was working 1 on 1 with him for a few minutes and showing a bit of leadership instructing him how to kick the footy.
-Griffiths was second for most of the running drills and looks pretty fit. Reece Mckenzie (I think) was reallllly struggling to run. Not sure if he's coming back from injury.
-Ivan Maric is the loudest talker, thanked the crowd for support and was consistently talking to the group. If you didn't know you'd think he was the captain.
-yarran didn't participate in any group drills.
-Truck still has it and won nearly every 1 on 1 contest against the players ;) also has the deepest voice I've ever heard
-Hardwick at one stage reinforced to the players that their philosophy on ball movement was to move it quickly and not to hesitate. Also I believe he refers to the midfielders/smaller players as the 'hybrids'?
Anyone was a good session and really enjoyed having a look. Good luck for the rest of the year

Herald-Sun

RICHMOND
The Tigers returned to Punt Rd on Monday morning with Dustin Martin training alongside his teammates after being cleared by police over the Chapel St incident.
Martin is still facing sanction from his club and/or the AFL as the league continues its report.
On the track, the players mixed ball work with running duties to kick-off its 2016 training.

Short :shh
Dropped in to training for a quick look this morning and one of the standouts was indeed Short. Heard one of the coaches talking to I think a player agent and he was gushing over Shorty. Said he has improved his fitness greatly and is a chance to get midfield time this year (I assume in the reserves). Mentioned another player - Menadue I think - who has had an injury but now OK and working at building strength and improving conditioning now.
I watched a couple of drills (named Batchelor and Vlastuin drills up on the scoreboard) and then a short match simulation. It was a bit difficult for my old eyes to make out some of the players but I did notice short. Also Kamdyn, Vlastuin, Houli were very good with hard running and good disposal, Dusty was also good. Couldn't work out who Soldo was for a while - he was moving well but he is now sooo skinny. Made Beanie look big.
Chol was playing CHF in a drill and looked good. Moves very well (agile) and is a good mark and kick. Looks very natural. No one will mark over the top of him - his leap is sensational!
Didn't see Yarran at all and Elton was running laps as was Drummond. Noticed some left footer kick the ball exquisitely and of course it turned out to be CEllis.
Not too much other than that to say.

ppl gushing over C.Ellis's kicking is becoming a common theme, might have to bring out the old #32 guernsey again this year

Got to Training Monday morning.
2 interesting points.
1) Butler in the midfield during the scratch matches and doing well. My tip for the big improver smokey of the year.
2) McBean was a standout and looking ready for senior football.
Moore on a side note was also good.

Rance being the son of a Greek god - was always going to return in good nick

The Tigers have continued to train strongly since returning from their Christmas break, and will have forward Ben Lennon back in the main group as early as Friday after he dealt with a mild case of glandular fever.
Defender Alex Rance has returned in mint condition, having been given an extended break before Christmas.
The Tigers open their pre-season NAB Challenge series against Fremantle at Mandurah on Friday, February 19.

“Training probably progresses now into more match-play simulation-type training,” Richmond Physical Performance Manager, Peter Burge said.
“There’s a little bit of conditioning we still need to do, because we are preparing for round one, ultimately, and the NAB Challenge is a great preparation component to that … so match-simulation, more specific drills, increasing time of training.
“The guys are doing a fair bit of hard work, our GPS numbers are increasing with that as well, so load-management becomes important for some players; it’s similar to every other year but we’re just trying to do things better this year than what we did them last year.
“Obviously there are changes to our training the coaches are implementing, but in terms of numbers in rehab and guys healthy and training, it’s looking pretty good.”
A key element of Richmond’s training schedule again this year was a pre-season training camp in northern Queensland held in Palm Cove and Cairns in mid-Decemer.
Burge indicated he can already see signs of positives gained from the camp upon the post-Christmas resumption of training.
“We’ve been up to North Queensland the last couple of years with the heat-training philosophy and we’ve put a lot of research into that and we feel we get a lot from it, and this year was no different,” he said.
“It was a fantastic camp; the guys worked extremely hard.
“The way the guys have come back from Christmas, some of the indicators we’ve looked at so far, there’s no doubt that the camp has given us a really good platform.”

Richmond’s Friday morning (January 15) training session will be open to the public with the gate out the front of the Tigerland Superstore open from 9.15am for a 9.30am start.

Richmond's Alex Rance is also back into full training after an extended off-season break in America and the Tigers are pleased with the progress of the players traded and drafted into the club with Daniel Rioli's skills standing out.
Former Carlton speedster Chris Yarran, who joined the Tigers in the trade period, is progressing well but he did not train on Friday due to illness.

Rance worked strongly having returned last week from his extended holiday to the United States, while former Blue Chris Yarran was a notable absentee, missing the session due to illness, but club officials are confident he will be back on deck quickly.

The Tigers started the pre-season with nine players in the rehab group, but that has since shrunk, with only Shaun Hampson (ankle), Taylor Hunt (knee) and Nathan Drummond (knee) being managed.
With only two players on the list aged 30 or over, Hardwick said the club had been able top get a significant amount of work into its players before pre-season matches start.
"Overall, the amount of work we've been able to get into the players from a football and running point of view, we've been very happy with," he said.
"We've had great numbers on track and the fitness of our players has gone to a high level.
"The age demographic of our list is at a point where they've played a lot of football together and I've got no doubt we’ll get better again."

Full contact session?
And ... yeah, in a word ... Dusty!

Chris Yarran, whose 2015 season ended with a hamstring injury, completed his own running session on Wednesday, with ruckman Shaun Hampson also on a modified program as he returns from ankle surgery.
Midfielder Taylor Hunt is due to return to full training shortly after a minor knee complaint, while Ben Griffiths and Dylan Grimes were on light duties.
Young midfielder Nathan Drummond worked closely with fitness staff on his leg strength and ran laps as he continues his recovery from a torn anterior cruciate ligament.
Draftee Daniel Rioli worked closely with half-forwards Shane Edwards and Sam Lloyd in Wednesday's session, impressing with his clean hands when crumbing the football.
The majority of the club's draftees, who will push for opportunities when the Tigers face the Dockers on February 16, are completing a smaller portion of the summer program.

Yep. Absolute silk. Speed, spatial sense and basic disposal would put him ahead of fringe players in the 22 already.
Would love to see him round 1.
As per Dooks, he looks fantastic.
The concern for me would be he is only 65kg. Too big a chance of him getting injured, put 8-10kg then think about it.

You mean Ballantyne from Freo?? 6cm shorter but 12kg heavier and more mature body.
My opinion hasnt changed. And thats all it is my opinion, i dont know the kid or pick teams. Looks to me he has pretty much everything to make it at AFL level, just concerned about him getting hurt early with his lack of size. Saying that they need to catch him first and if he is as quick and elusive as the reports suggest that isnt going to be easy.

A look inside a Richmond Tigers’ training session ahead of the opening round of 2016 AFL season
James Fitzgerald, Crowd Correspondent
Foxsports
March 24, 2016
RICHMOND, after somewhat of a disappointing finish to the NAB Challenge, have opened up the gates at Punt Rd for not only an open training session but also the club’s pre-season family day for the Tigers faithful on Sunday the 20th of March.
The Tigers lacked intensity in their last outing against Port Adelaide and, with a host of injuries obtained within the said feature, key players are subsequently under injury clouds coming into season proper. This has not only hampered their own progress but also strained the club’s structural plans in the short term.
With a crowd of over three hundred present at Sunday’s open training; with somewhat of a carnival atmosphere around the ground, the Richmond players begin by splitting into midfield and forward units respectively under the guidance of Mark Williams and Brendon Lade. Newly re-signed Damien Hardwick taking more of a back seat on this occasion.
The powers that be at Richmond will be looking for greater levels of intensity as competition for spots and preparation for round one take on greater levels of urgency as they look to a positive start for season 2016.
TRAINING THE HOUSE DOWN
Shaun Grigg enjoyed one of his more productive seasons in 2015 and showed why he was high on Richmond’s wish list after his decision to leave Carlton proceeding the 2010 season. Grigg’s work rate, ability to negotiate heavy traffic and heightened kicking efficiency to forward targets are his main attributes, and he is a valuable member of the Richmond midfield.
Grigg’s output and work rate are head and shoulders above the rest of the midfield group, his high intensity around the ball and his leading off from a contest to create space is on show in the early part of Richmond’s training regime, much to the plaudits of Damien Hardwick and midfield coach Brendon Lade. Grigg is still under an injury cloud coming into the start of the season but the signs are promising.
THE HIGHLIGHT
Intensity around the entire Richmond group was rather underwhelming throughout the duration of the open training session. Much work will need to be done to improve their chances of starting the season on a high. This being said some key players did show their worth and commitment to being in peak condition starting the season proper.
The kicking program, consisting of double lateral drills, precise forward entry kicks and kicking to space deep inside the forward fifty was promising. Ben Lennon, Steven Morris and Dustin Martin excelled and showed the kicking efficiency and poise needed in regards to forward entries to provide Riewoldt and co with direct and accurate delivery.
With the core forward group of Riewoldt, Vickery and Ben Griffiths providing the tall timber to take contested marks and create leading options inside the forward fifty, it was interesting to see their structures change with the inclusion of Daniel Rioli.
Rioli has the ability to provide Richmond with the crumbing forward they require to create an air of unpredictability to their forward line and take advantage of ground ball opportunities when the football lands at his feet in heavy traffic.
NEW FACES
With forward training underway under the watchful eye of Mark Williams, rookie listed player Mabior Chol is certainly providing a handy target up forward; using his height to a premium and kicking truly from fifty meters out on four consecutive occasions. Mabior Chol will be lucky to have a look in during season 2016, but with Richmond’s constant forward woes and their lack of scoring opportunities, he may get his chance sooner rather than later if he continues his development.
WHAT’D YOU MISS
Speaking of Rookie Mabior Chol, after his charmed run in front of goal as mentioned above. Senior Development Coach Mark Williams took exception to his over confidence and decided to treat him to an additional thirty minutes of one-on-one forward training contesting against Development coach Ryan Ferguson.
Mabior Chol failed to reproduce his earlier efforts and seemed to struggle under the constant pressure of competing against a similar sized opponent when leading and contesting for the ball in the forward fifty. Williams was not impressed.
REHAB ROOM
Ivan Maric returned to training on a light program and looks relatively untroubled but is still in some doubt for the opening round. Shane Edwards and Shaun Grigg trained well but left the track early with the former seemingly recovering well from a collarbone injury he suffered in the NAB Challenge.
Brett Deledio had a very light session and is still recovering from his quad injury, the former NAB rising star did laps and then hit the showers early without training alongside the main group.
MEDICAL ROOM
Much maligned new recruit Chris Yarran was a notable no-show and with his lack of fitness and subsequent foot injury, he is unlikely to see action until at least Round Six.
Reece Conca was also absent from the main session while he recuperates from his serious hamstring injury, Richmond will look to ease him back into the fold and place him on a light program for the foreseeable future.
All in all, it was a disappointing training session from the main Richmond group with key players in Dustin Martin, Jack Riewoldt and Alex Rance and showing their class, while youngsters Ben Lennon and Connor Menadue showed promising signs and provided the intensity sorely lacking in some of their senior counterparts
With key injuries hampering their preparations for the opening round of season 2016, Richmond will be looking for an improved output this week in their last training runs before the season proper.

Needs a special modification which would take a fair bit of time (which I don't have :P ) to be installed.

The Tigers kickstart their 2017 campaign with a few laps of Punt Road Oval. Who'll win the first race back after an offseason of fun?

Agreed, and Markov looks a bit bigger in the upper body. Bigger than Menadue

Oh golly, it's all just so fabulous....training the house down, looking huge, best and hardest pre-season to date....OMFG..

RICHMOND
Chris Yarran was the most high-profile name on the track at Punt Rd on Monday morning.
Yarran was carrying a few extra kilos but has committed to proving he can resurrect his AFL career after missing all of 2016 due to injuries and mental health.
Yarran joined young Tigers including Daniel Rioli, Nick Vlastuin, Corey Ellis, Jayden Short, Connor Menadue and Oleg Markov for sprints and skills work.
Also on the track was Ben Lennon, who requested a trade in August and was training on his own in the hope of being picked up by a rival club. But the contracted forward appeared in good spirits as he returned to the fold.
No reports of an official time-trial but footage showed Kane Lambert leading teammates on laps of the oval.
The session was run by returning assistant coach Justin Leppitsch with help from another off-season recruit, Blake Caracella.
New Tigers Josh Caddy, Dion Prestia and Toby Nankervis will join full training on November 21.
Richmond’s only injury concerns are Steve Morris (knee), who is touch and go for Round 1 next year, and Jack Riewoldt (ankle and finger surgery). The club hopes he can start skill work before Christmas.

Pre-season preview
richmondfc.com.au
9 November 2016
Richmond’s Physical Performance Manager, Peter Burge, speaks to ‘Roar Vision’ about what’s in store for the Tigers’ playing group throughout the pre-season period.
Kicking off
“We’ve got the one-four-year players back today (Monday). With the AFL restrictions, the older guys get a little bit more time off. So they’re back on the 21st (of November) – two weeks from now. It is a long pre-season, particularly for the younger guys . . . They have about seven weeks to the Christmas break.”
Controlling the training tempo
“We have harder weeks, or slightly easier weeks, really judging on how they’re going . . . reading the signs and having good communication with the guys individually, to know where they’re at and how they’re tracking.”
The initial phase
“This time of year’s generally more about the conditioning guys and us blokes, with running, weights, and all that sort of stuff. But, even today, we start with some skills. We’ve got to develop their skills . . . that’s the number one thing. But we have to get them conditioned well enough to handle the skill work . . . That skill work will build over the next couple of weeks, then all the sessions will get longer, and then into January with game play. You want to put the players in the position they don’t break down with the intensity of match play.”
Current program
“At the moment, in a training session, we would do some football skill work, with some running in between drill, and then come back to football skill work. They’ll be doing a strength program in the afternoon. We’ve got new strength staff this year, so the program has changed a little bit. There are things like cross training, boxing, grappling, wrestling, yoga. There’s a whole myriad of things that we do to help prepare the athlete to be at his physical best and also to prevent them from getting injured.”
Healthy shape
“We’re in a good position with our list. We’ve really only had Steve Morris, with his ACL from last year, who’s longer term. It’s probably going to be an early-season return (for him) . . . hopefully Round 1. And Jack Riewoldt, who had some surgery to his ankle and his little finger as well, will be a little bit delayed. But we expect Jack will be doing some skill work possibly prior to Christmas. If not, certainly January he’ll be up and running.”

“Obviously this time of year we want to come back in great shape and set ourselves up for a big pre-season. The boys ran well today and I think ‘Burgey’ (Richmond’s Physical Performance Manager Peter Burge) is pretty happy with the times. I ran not a bad time, just off my PB (personal best). ‘Drummo’ (Nathan Drummond) ran really well and I tried to tack on to him as long as I could.”

He does have some good attributes. Unfortunately kicking is not one of them.

Very pleasing to see in the photos posted that Menadue seems to have put on significant size.
Compared to Caddy he seems bigger except in the legs.
Of course camera angles always deceive at this time of the year.

Jack Riewoldt started Monday's session with a series of run-throughs away from the main group, before joining Corey Ellis for short kicking and marking.
Both finished the sessions with 10 minutes of running and left the track after about one hour.
A number of Tigers, including club champion Dustin Martin, put in long running sessions rather than joining the main group on Monday.
Martin, who has been back in training for a week now, was joined by Daniel Rioli, Jayden Short, Jake Batchelor and Ivan Maric in running laps for the bulk of the first hour.
Rioli flew to Perth at the weekend to pick up new recruit Shai Bolton and escort him to Melbourne and also finished training after one hour.
Draftees Bolton (pick No.29), Jack Graham (No.53) and Ryan Garthwaite (No.72) were guided around training by coaching staff and mostly observed before completing skills work.

Batch is the way breaking away from Vlas' tackle you moron! What's with Jack, Nankervis and Griffiths looking at the ball when they're kicking it in the last few photos? Seriously, I thought they'd fix that once we got some new assistant coaches in.

Ive heard hes one at the club who does a fair bit of charity work. Puts his hand up for the usual good friday appeal amongst other things outside of the club. If thats all true (got no reason to doubt it) then respect to him.

From what I know, the outdoor training days are Monday, Thursday, Saturday. Otherwise its indoor training such as weights.
That is why they trained indoors, not because of the heat.

Went along to today's training which was really just a hit and giggle. The good news is that Shed's poor kicking isn't a mental thing in a game.

Richmond’s final training session before MCG showdown with GWS attracts thousands of fans
Sophie Smith,
Herald Sun
September 22, 2017 11:41am
THOUSANDS of Tigers faithful took the day off work and school to watch an open training session at Punt Rd on Friday.
Mascots greeted fans as they sprawled around the ground in hot anticipation of the session and Saturday’s preliminary final against Greater Western Sydney, pushing forward for a closer look as the boys came out.
Men, women and children of all ages were three-deep in some places along the sideline, with motorists in passing cars tooting and shouting, ‘Go the Tigers’ as they drove past.
One boy sported a ‘Dustin Martin haircut’ as kids kicked footballs and loyal supporters became emotional talking about their club’s finals run.
Laurice Desilva, from Cranbourne, let her son skip school to see the training and hopefully get his footy signed.
“We couldn’t get tickets so we thought we’d come down,” Ms Desilva said.
“There’s a lot of people but I was expecting that. Everyone just seems happy and excited. It’s great. I love the atmosphere.
“I’ve been waiting so long for them to get into the finals so it’s very emotional for my family.”
Sports commentator David McKenzie attended with his family, all showing support.
“It’s been 35 years since we’ve made a final and 37 years since we’ve won one,” Mr McKenzie said.

“Everyone talks about it — the long-suffering Tigers fans — so it’s a surreal feeling to be deep in September.
“When you’ve grown up with it and it’s in your veins — you’ve got to embrace it.”
The somewhat pensive crowd became more vocal through the training session, some shouting as if they were at a game.

Despite the strong turnout, a handful of punters believed more would have come for the occasion that Martin was an obvious crowd favourite at.
“I thought there’d be more to be quite honest,” Stephen Peters said.
“I had to bring my granddaughter — third generation.
“They’re playing awesome at the moment.”
Bek Demicoli said she was surprised by the season the Tigers have had.
“I didn’t think we’d make it this far. We just want to support them.”

Sea of yellow and black as Richmond Tigers prepare for preliminary final
Jon Pierik and Ronny Lerner
The Age
22 September 2017
Richmond players were given a heroes' welcome from thousands of their adoring fans at Punt Road Oval on Friday.
The yellow-and-black masses were out in force to watch their beloved Tigers have a light training run before their date with destiny.
The Tigers are aiming to qualify for their first grand final in 35 years when they face Greater Western Sydney in the second preliminary final at a sold-out MCG on Saturday. If the Tigers are successful, they will break the longest active grand final drought in the AFL.
But judging by the atmosphere at the club's spiritual home on Friday, it felt as though they had already made it to that last Saturday in September.
One diehard fan, Al, flew in to Melbourne from outback Queensland to watch his Tigers.
"I've been a member for 50 years and this is fantastic. I don't think GWS have a chance. It's like going to Adelaide or Perth. Once you go there, you've got the home-crowd advantage. We've got the same thing here but we're going to have 90-odd thousand," he said.
Married Richmond supporters Cameron and Rochelle drove from Brisbane on Wednesday and arrived in Melbourne on Thursday night.
"It means a great deal to Rochelle and myself. It's a long wait, we've been faithful to the club since we've been kids," Cameron said.
He admitted he never thought he would see Richmond again feature in the penultimate weekend of the season.
"We've got five kids and all we said is we wouldn't mind the Tigers being in a grand final - even though we're not there yet - in our kids' lifetime," he said.
"Our youngest kid is now 21, so it's been a while. We've got grand kids now, too, so we've been saying the same thing for the grand kids. We had a new grandchild born three weeks ago at the start of the finals series, so I'll take that as good luck."
Rochelle, who said the main reason she married Cameron was because he was a Richmond supporter, added: "They never see their grandad without his Richmond top on."
The players were given boisterous cheers as they made their way out from the dressingroom.
In keeping with the relaxed nature amongst the playing group, and their insistence on embracing the hype, star defender Alex Rance played up to the crowd, triumphantly raising his arms as he ran down the race. But the biggest cheer was unsurprisingly reserved for Brownlow Medal favourite Dustin Martin.
One supporter felt compelled to yell out: "Dusty, you're a god!"
There was some good-natured banter amongst the fans, too.
When some support staff exited the club house, one supporter yelled: "People we don't know!"
And that was also followed by good-natured cheering in what was a very humorous moment.
Such are the excitement levels amongst the Richmond faithful that they erupted into impromptu renditions of the club's famous theme song.
Shivers were sent down the spine when they belted out the "yellow and black" chorus line. One can only imagine what it will sound like when close to 95,000 fans do the same thing at the MCG on Saturday.
Richmond CEO Brendon Gale received three cheers from the crowd as well in a show of gratitude for how far he and his board have taken this club after so many barren years.
The teams split their results through the season but the Tigers, fresh from a week off after thumping Geelong in the qualifying final, will begin their latest clash as a strong favourite.
Coach Damien Hardwick said his players had embraced the Tiger Army and the finals hype but warned this would not help them come game day.
"There is a big crowd but we are pretty fortunate at the Richmond footy club that we get to play in front of big crows most weeks," he said.
"This is probably a little bit different because there is going to be a pretty parochial crowd behind us. Once we cross that white line, they will give us great support but the reality is they don't get kicks, marks, handballs. Our players have to fulfil a duty to get the job done."
Hardwick said it was difficult not to feel the hype.
"It's a celebration, really. I think as coaches we probably look at it and say: 'Listen, let's not buy into it'. But the reality is, we are in the final four of a competition that has gone a hell of a long time. We are really excited to be here," he said.
"Once we get into here (the club), it's all work. I wouldn't say the fun stops. We still have a good time doing what we do but we embrace what we are and look to challenge ourselves and bring our best foot forward come Saturday afternoon."
The Giants, having joined the AFL in 2012, are likely to have only a few thousand supporters on Saturday. Giants coach Leon Cameron has maintained this is irrelevant, a point Hardwick reinforced.
"Once the players cross the line, they will come to play, the Giants. They are an incredible football side. We have to make aware that their very best football is very hard to beat. We have to make sure we come to play," he said.
Regardless of the result, there's one thing that's certain - there are bound to be tears. For the Tigers' faithful, it's hoped these are tears of joy.

Richmond's Punt Road open training session to be lockout on Friday
Scott Spits
The Age
September 28 2017
Now that the Tiger Army has been woken from its slumber, get ready for the onslaught.
As Richmond readies for their first grand final since 1982 with excitement building across Melbourne and the club's inner-city suburban home, Friday's open training session – the final chance for fans to watch their heroes train – is bound to be a lockout.
The grand final players will take to the famous Punt Road Oval turf from 9.45am on Friday but the venue, which hosts VFL matches, can only cater for about 5000 spectators.
After the 30-minute session, the players will take part in the annual grand final parade – along with the Adelaide contingent – through Melbourne's streets as part of the grand final eve public holiday.
Richmond president Peggy O'Neal reminded the club's supporters that parking wasn't available at Punt Road and said they should check the club's website for other information.
"If there's a lockout, there's a lockout ... we have to give precedence to security [issues] and the safety of the people coming in and those sorts of things," O'Neal said.
One of the AFL's biggest supporter bases may have been dormant at this stage of September for the past 35 years, but they are set to be unleashed for the Tigers' first grand final since they lost to Carlton all those years ago.
"We knew it was always there," O'Neal said of the Tiger Army. "And you can see people are excited when something's happening for the first time in a very long time.
"But the Tiger Army we always knew would get behind us. And the suburb of Richmond is a very exciting place to be right now.
"I'm feeling great. No nerves, just excitement."

THAT'S A WRAP FROM PUNT RD
- Chris Cavanagh
Herald-Sun
29 September 2017
RICHMOND players have had their last run through ahead of tomorrow's Grand Final in front of a large and vocal crowd at Punt Rd Oval.
Gates were locked an hour before the 9.45am session after the ground reached capacity of about 5000 people.
The 22 selected players and three emergencies for tomorrow's clash with Adelaide trained for about 30 minutes before heading to the boundary line to sign autographs.
The loudest applause was saved for recently crowned Brownlow medallist Dustin Martin, with chants of 'Dusty' ringing out around the ground.
The Tigers' song was also heard being sung in the stands throughout the morning.
Midfielder Kane Lambert, who was under an injury cloud with an ankle earlier this week, got through the light session without issue.

What dates do the players return for pre-season training?
-
What dates do the players return for pre-season training?
IIRC RR, the players' EBA allows them a 8-week holiday break. So I'm presuming the whole squad will be back into full preseason training by end of Nov/start of Dec. Usually, the 1-3 yr blokes come back first followed by the bulk of the middle-age group a few days to a week later. The older ones come back last.

Weak, they should be back out there now

Agree....getting ahead of ourselves....bad signs already pointing towards a premiership hangover next year....
-
Does anyone know when they are expected back?
Might be the only opportunity to get player photos with my kids
Then again we might get 5000 to the first training session

They get a minimum of 8 weeks off 1-3 year players, couple of extra weeks for the older blokes
So approx. late November

👍

Pathetic. If they were serious they'd be back already running themselves into the ground

Training return:
The Tigers' first-to-fourth-year players return on November 27, with the rest back on December 4. Vice-captain Jack Riewoldt has already been spotted at the club completing running sessions four weeks after the club's premiership triumph.
Nathan Drummond was the Tigers' only injury concern going into the decider and is more than five months into his recovery from a knee reconstruction. He was running well early in his rehab.

Intra-club report:
Tigers go head-to-head
richmondfc.com.au
February 18, 2018
In a tightly contested hitout, Saturday morning's open training session featured match simulation.
With 12 Tigers missing due to AFLX commitments in Sydney, Richmond's AFL and VFL listed players fought it out at the Swinburne Centre in front of about 1000 members and fans.
Brandon Ellis kicked the first major for the day, before young Tiger Mabior Chol unleashed from the 50m mark and goaled, much to the delight of the Tiger Army.
Jack Riewoldt and Josh Caddy were also lively up forward, booting multiple goals each.
New Tiger Patrick Naish also got his name on the scoreboard, while Dustin Martin found plenty of the football.
Under the watchful eye of coach Craig McRae, Richmond's VFL-listed players battled tirelessly, including Steve Morris and Jake Aarts.
Photographer Cameron Grimes captured all the action.

Tigers take it up a notch with match practice
afl.com.au
Feb 18, 2018
RICHMOND has ramped up preparations for its premiership defence with its biggest stars featuring in a competitive match simulation session with the VFL Tigers on Saturday.
While flag heroes Dan Butler, Jason Castagna and Nathan Broad were part of a 12-man squad that got their seasons started in Saturday night's AFLX tournament in Sydney, the majority of the list participated in the match play at Punt Road Oval.
Brownlow medallist Dustin Martin was a standout, with his long kicking and clean hands out of stoppages setting him apart in the first formal match simulation of the Tigers' pre-season.
As the Tigers contemplate their best forward structure, midfielder Josh Caddy was also excellent in attack, booting multiple goals and suggesting he could again be the perfect foil for star Jack Riewoldt after playing as a marking target last season.
Skipper Trent Cotchin and vice-captain Alex Rance also featured in the practice match, alongside premiership Tigers Bachar Houli, Brandon Ellis, Kane Lambert, Shaun Grigg, Dylan Grimes and Shane Edwards.
Richmond's first pick in the 2017 NAB AFL Draft, Jack Higgins, travelled for the AFLX tournament, but fellow draftee Patrick Naish remained in Melbourne for the match play and hit the scoreboard.
With ruckman Shaun Hampson still battling a back injury that will sideline him for the start of the season, premiership big man Toby Nankervis and Ivan Soldo did battle in the ruck.
Small forward Daniel Rioli remains on a modified program as he races to be fit for the start of the season following foot surgery in the aftermath of last year's premiership.
The Tigers will travel to Wangaratta to launch their JLT Community Series against Essendon next Saturday before taking on North Melbourne at Ikon Park on March 7.

Hampson injured again? Is only hope was a full pre season and early seniors games. Now he is less of a hope than ever which was probably none to start with.
-
I suspect he will be conveniently injured until his contract expires

Jack kicked 7 goals in the intra-club ...
VIDEO: http://www.richmondfc.com.au/video/2018-02-18/jack-kicks-seven
Jack Riewoldt looked razor sharp in Richmond’s intra-club hit-out at the Swinburne Centre’s Punt Road Oval last Saturday.
The star spearhead finished with a seven-goal haul in an impressive display against the Tigers’ VFL team.
It was vintage Jack, as he led out to take numerous marks on the lead, and then confidently drilled goals from a range of angles and distances.
At one stage, he also ‘rag-dolled’ veteran small defender Steven Morris (now a permanent member of Richmond’s VFL side), to take an emphatic grab, from which he kicked truly.
And there was a trademark left-foot set-shot six-pointer, too, following a clever mark on a tight angle.
It’s very early days, of course, but the signs are good that Riewoldt is set to add plenty to his AFL career goal tally of 537 in season 2018.

I went and had a look on Saturday.
Not a huge amount I could say. I'm not an especially trained eye. Skills looked sharp. I noticed that coaches were more pleased with defensive efforts- if a team could force a turn over etc..
I was opposite the grandstand & towards the end of the session a group of were contesting "down the line" style high balls.
I think it was Rance, Balta, Nankervis, Astbury & Soldo.
I tell you it was like watching big old bulls go at it. Especially Nankervis. I would hate to train against him, he just hits hard at every opportunity. Actively engages body contact. Rance was quiet similar.
I'm into this Balta guy. Managed to use his athleticism to win the ball. Nicely sized kid. Struggled when his opposition made heavy contact early.

Cheers for the report, cranny. Top stuff! :cheers
Yeah, it seems over the preseason we've been working on taking our defensive pressure to an even higher level. The down-the-line high ball training would be part of that. If would could improve our goalscoring efficiency per inside F50 entries off the back of our defensive turnovers then that would make us an even more lethal side.
I've liked the look of Balta too, cranny, from what I've seen of him. Getting a couple of preseasons into him should fix the latter issue.

Dust in time: Superstar hits track in skins
Riley Beveridge
afl.com.au
Sep 20, 2018 12:37PM
RICHMOND superstar Dustin Martin appears a certain starter for Friday night's crucial preliminary final against Collingwood, completing the club's final training session with ease.
The reigning Brownlow Medal winner trained unimpeded with the main group on Thursday, showing no signs of the severe cork that had restricted his schedule last week.
Although it was only a light session that lasted around 20 minutes at Punt Road, Martin completed every drill to allay concerns that have lingered regarding his fitness.
The gun Tiger was clad in leggings throughout the session, making it difficult to decipher whether he was wearing any protective strapping on his injured leg.
However, he appeared undeterred playing through the midfield in a full-ground circle work drill, before joining captain Trent Cotchin for skills practice later in the morning.
"I haven't had a mental check on whether he's worn skins before," teammate Shane Edwards joked with reporters after the short session.
"I think he's done it every now and then. I'll make sure I look from now on.
"I don't even think he even knows what's going on. He'll be going out there with a fresh mind and he'll be ready.
"He's a big boy. It'll be the same as usual, whether he's wearing skins or not."
Martin had been limited during Richmond's fortnight off, having suffered a badly corked thigh that bled down to his knee during the side's qualifying final victory over Hawthorn.
The Tigers revealed earlier this week they considered a medical procedure to drain the area, but insisted they were confident Martin would be fully fit for Friday night's match.
Brandon Ellis and Dan Butler were also among the main group that trained in front of a crowd of around 1000 people on Thursday, as the pair aim to reclaim their spots in the side.

Premiership Tiger Dan Butler hit the track on day one after his late-season ankle injury ruined his finals campaign while Nick Vlastuin and Dylan Grimes were others to take part in the hot November session.
Dan Rioli was a welcome sight in all drills after a broken foot delayed his start to the 2018 pre-season and cost him half the season.
And, the recently re-signed Shai Bolton looks to have benefited from an off-season that featured a fitness focus, with the 19-year-old coming back from Perth in good shape.
Rioli, Bolton and Jack Higgins – who also resumed at pace on Monday – have been earmarked for enhanced midfield roles in 2019 with the Tigers to re-evaluate their forward line set-up following Lynch's arrival.
New assistant coach Adam Kingsley took to the field for the first time after crossing from St Kilda to be part of Damien Hardwick's slightly shuffled coaching panel.
Kingsley will preside over the midfield with Justin Leppitsch to move to the backline after the departure of Ben Rutten for Essendon while Andrew McQualter will coach the forwards.

The entire Richmond group – minus Alex Rance, who has an extra week of holiday – reconvened on Monday for the first time this pre-season.
Cotchin required no off-season surgery but has started his 2019 campaign at reduced pace and trained on Monday with the rehab group that kept to conditioning drills.
He ran with Riewoldt, who had minor shoulder surgery in October, and Jack Graham, who is on his way back from a shoulder reconstruction and won't ramp things up until after Christmas.
Also on limited duties were Jacob Townsend (foot), Ryan Garthwaite (ankle) and Ben Miller (hip), while veteran Bachar Houli took part in most of the session before finishing off with the running group.
Boom recruit Lynch remains on restricted duties following last month's "minor" procedure on the knee that needed a posterior cruciate ligament repair back in July.
Lynch was on the track for the start of the two-hour session at Punt Road but was restricted to light drills before going inside.

Vlastuin said a number of young Tigers had impressed, early doors, but they would have to bide their time behind some of the more seasoned guns.
“Going from preseason Liam Baker’s been training really well in that small half forward role, but that’s a pretty hard position to bust into,” he said.
“We’ve got a couple of key backs who are pretty good — the boys really like Ryan Garthwaite, so hopefully he can play a few games, but then he’s competing against Dave Astbury and Alex Rance, so once again, pretty tough.”
He said 2017 father-son pick Patrick Naish was working hard to improve his defensive running.

Would love a report on Tom Lynch's progress once when resume from the break if possible. You would have to think he is close to full training if he's going to play in 72 days.

When does trading resume?

In October.... :shh

When does trading resume?
The remaining five teams – Richmond, Melbourne, Hawthorn, North Melbourne and St Kilda – reconvene next Monday.

Dinny Navaratnam @dinnynavaratnam
Dylan Grimes is sporting an interesting look after suffering that broken nose.
He wasn't the only one injured at training on Thursday. Jason Castagna suffered an ankle syndesmosis and is in a moon boot. The club says it's a mild injury.
Tom Lynch not doing a lot at training. Doing laps, swapping between jogging and walking.
Other notes:
- Dustin Martin and Trent Cotchin ran laps at one stage but have joined in again with the main group
- Jack Graham (left shoulder reconstruction) is being kept out of contact drills. Training with the main group today but it's a light session, no tackling.

Others who were limited included Jacob Townsend (corked thigh), who did some straight-line running, and fellow 2017 premiership player Shaun Grigg and Ryan Garthwaite (Achilles), who ran laps together.
Jack Graham completed some drills with his teammates before stepping out to do some resistance work with a trainer as he recovers from a left shoulder reconstruction.
A high ankle sprain is still limiting Jason Castagna, but Balme said the injury was not a concern.
Dylan Grimes remains in a protective face mask after breaking his nose in January, but it is having no impact on his training output.
There were plenty of stars for the Tiger faithful to watch, with Brownlow medallists Dustin Martin and Trent Cotchin and All Australians Jack Riewoldt and Alex Rance among the full participants.
Martin was in cruise mode for much of the session, but both he and Cotchin were in a playful mood as they celebrated kicking goals.

Highlights from our latest match simulation at training:

Summary
Richmond's training went up another gear on Thursday with a 30-minute, modified match simulation session.
Five weeks out from the 2019 season opener against Carlton at the MCG, 16 Tigers took on another 16 of their teammates on Punt Road Oval.
The star-studded Yellow team featured the likes of Dustin Martin, Toby Nankervis, Dion Prestia, and Club leaders Trent Cotchin, Alex Rance and Jack Riewoldt.
Riewoldt continued the form that saw him win last year's Coleman Medal, booting three goals over the course of the period. Two were from set-shots after trademark marks on the lead, while his other was a snap following a stoppage inside the forward 50.
Martin and the returning Dan Butler were involved in most of the Yellow side's attacking moves, including Martin kicking two majors of his own, and Butler snapping through one.
Tiger recruit Mav Weller displayed what he may be capable of in 2019 when he led out from the goalsquare to strongly mark a perfect Martin pass and cooly convert the set-shot.
While the Green side wasn't as potent in attack, their three goals came from impressive chains of ball movement.
Ruckman Ivan Soldo kicked the final two goals of the session for the Green team; the first a set-shot following a decent mark on the lead.
Liam Baker had earlier snapped their first goal from tight on the boundary line, having marked the ball inside 50 following a move that started with Brandon Ellis stepping inside a tackle off half-back, leading to Jack Graham, Noah Balta and Kamdyn McIntosh all getting involved.
Ellis and McIntosh were key players for the Green side, continually linking up together across half-back and through the middle, while Graham displayed good signs after his off-season shoulder surgery, laying a couple of heavy tackles.
Richmond fans will be able to see the players in action next Saturday morning, February 23, with an open training session and 2019 jumper presentation taking place at the Swinburne Centre, Punt Road Oval from 8am.

Richmond's training session on Friday was more a formality. Players spent more time signing autographs and posing for selfies than working at full speed.
There was one five-minute period where the players hit their stride during a full-field piece of circle work, but mostly it was about getting the legs moving and keeping reflexes sharp.
Jack Riewoldt, who missed most of the season through injury but hasn't missed a beat since returning, was the loudest voice, lampooning players when they missed goals and pumping them up when they scored from impossible angles.
Martin was one of those slotting goals from the boundary. Having kicked six goals in the qualifying final and seemingly free of the injury troubles that blunted his game in the 2018 preliminary final, his relaxed manner at training was an ominous sign for the Cats.

REIGNING premier Richmond has hit the track as a whole playing group for the first time since September's triumph.
While the first-to-fourth years returned last week, Monday marked the start of pre-season for the entire squad, including the five new draftees.
The only players not to take the field were livewire Sydney Stack (returned to Western Australia for a funeral) and Jack Higgins, who is on a modified, part-time program as he recovers from brain surgery.
A handful of senior players were on light programs, including All Australians Bachar Houli, and Dylan Grimes (left wrist clean-out), best and fairest Dion Prestia, preliminary final hero Jack Graham (shoulder reconstruction) and Toby Nankervis (adductor).
Nick Vlastuin is easing back into training after returning from a visit to India with club partner World Wildlife Fund, while youngsters Shai Bolton, Jake Aarts and Luke English also worked away from the main group.
Star defender Alex Rance was in the main group, after missing the vast majority of 2019 with a ruptured ACL.
The main squad took part in a series of skill and agility drills in small groups, before changing to full-ground ball movement work.
The Tigers added Thomson Dow, Noah Cumberland, Will Martyn, Hugo Ralphsmith and Bigoa Nyuon in last week's NAB AFL Draft, and the quintet did a mix of observation and light skill work in the first day at the club.

Dusty and big names return as Richmond hits track for post-Christmas training
Nick Smart
Herald Sun
January 13, 2020 5:33pm
Richmond’s galaxy of stars were all on the track on Monday as the reigning premier punched on for their first session of 2020.
There was no sign of any premiership hangover as the Tigers’ big names, such as Dustin Martin, skipper Trent Cotchin, Jack Riewoldt and forward Tom Lynch all fronted up for the official start of their 2020 flag defence campaign.
All their stars appeared to be in good condition following their Christmas break.
Lynch’s first pre-season at the club 12 months ago was wrecked by his knee, but the big man is in full training this summer as he pushes towards the start of his second season at Punt Rd.
He said before Christmas he expected his combination with fellow spearhead Riewoldt to grow stronger this year.
Forward Jack Higgins, who underwent two rounds of brain surgery last July and September, was also on the track and trained well amid the hazy conditions.
Ruckman Toby Nankervis was restricted to running laps.
Coach Damien Hardwick was absent from the session but he will return to the club today.
The Tigers’ first game of the year will be against Collingwood in Wangaratta on Sunday March 1 as part of the Marsh Community Series.

Seems we were the only Victorian club to train outdoors yesterday.
North Melbourne moved its scheduled skills session indoors as a result, while Richmond opted to keep its 30-minute training outdoors following assessment of the haze.
Essendon, Geelong, St Kilda, Collingwood, Melbourne, Western Bulldogs, Carlton and Hawthorn continued with planned training indoors after main training sessions on Monday.

This time of year I miss the training reports that used to come out with blow by blow descriptions of match sims and drills.
Have we played an intra club yet?

pmac, we played a 35 min match simulation today.
Clean bill? Premiers to hit 2020 in fine fettle
Jay Clark
Herald Sun
February 13, 2020 6:08pm
In a warning for the rest of the competition, the Tigers were missing only three senior players as they completed 35 minutes of match simulation in hot conditions at Punt Rd on Thursday.
Other than ruckman Toby Nankervis (groin), hard nut Jack Graham (shoulder) and rebounding defender Kamdyn McIntosh (ankle) all the big guns were out there with Dustin Martin playing about 70 per cent forward.
In the opening passage of play, skipper Trent Cotchin burst out of the centre square and hit the dual Norm Smith Medalist on the chest 30m out.
Even goal sneak Jack Higgins, who had a second bout of brain surgery last year, continued his remarkable recovery completing the whole session largely in the midfield.
Things are looking good for an early return for Higgins.
Grand Final hero Marlion Pickett showed he has more tricks than a brilliant blind turn, pulling out a wicked sidestep on another darting run down the middle early on in the piece.
Looking completely comfortable on the wing and in the centre square, the mature-age revelation looked like a man set to play 20 games in his second season of AFL in 2020.
What an incredible story he is, playing in a premiership in his only senior match.
But this year, Pickett seems almost certain to become a regular member of the senior team.
That’s despite the club’s ridiculous depth.
Sydney Stack and Shai Bolton both showed flare in the forward half yesterday, while livewire Liam Baker was another who was prominent off half back, seemingly taking up some of the slack from departed flanked Brandon Ellis.
Key defenders David Astbury, Nathan Broad and Dylan Grimes had things sorted down back as part of a defence which will be once again missing superstar Alex Rance.
Twin towers Jack Riewoldt and Tom Lynch led the forward set up alongside Martin, while Ivan Soldo took charge in the ruck as Nankervis completed run-throughs on the sidelines.
Nankervis and Graham are expected to be back in full training in coming weeks.

The Tigers always tend to be in pretty good nick. Something in the water at Punt Rd.
In case you haven’t heard, Grand Final hero Marlion Pickett is absolutely flying on the track.
Kamdyn McIntosh did suffer an injury scare during the Tigers’ trip away, while Jack Higgins has taken a big step in his recovery from brain surgery.

Not much or no vision of pre season training this year??

Pickett, Bolton shine as 21 flag Tigers go head-to-head
By Mitch Cleary
afl.com.au
20 Feb 2020
GOOD luck breaking into this Richmond outfit.
In a scary message to rival clubs, every remaining 2019 premiership Tiger was on show in a physical intraclub match at the Swinburne Centre on Thursday morning.
Ruckman Toby Nankervis was the only player from last year's flag to start in a weakened 'B' side against a stacked 'A' team that also featured Noah Balta and Jack Graham.
Speedster Shai Bolton (two goals) dazzled as a high half-forward, Dustin Martin was up to his usual tricks between midfield-forward and Grand Final debutant Marlion Pickett again impressed.
Daniel Rioli was also busy in attack and delivered the highlight of the morning with a high-flying mark over a pack of four players.
Nankervis played only the first term before he continued his rehabilitation following groin surgery, allowing Ivan Soldo to tackle a bulked-up Callum Coleman-Jones in the ruck.
Given Brandon Ellis' move to Gold Coast, the other 20 players from the triumphant line-up played for the 'A' team in the four-quarter hitout.
Graham also played limited minutes as he recovers from a shoulder injury sustained in last year's preliminary final.
Balta played in a key defensive post alongside David Astbury, Dylan Grimes, Nathan Broad and Nick Vlastuin as the Tigers search for greater depth following the shock retirement of Alex Rance.
A combination of Rioli, Broad, Liam Baker, Josh Caddy and Kane Lambert rolled through wing roles for the 'A' team in a sign of potential Ellis replacements.
Jack Higgins was lively in the front half for the 'B' team and is on track to make his return following brain surgery in the Tigers' first Marsh Community Series match against Collingwood.
Higgins will be vying for a forward role with exciting second-year utility Sydney Stack who played the entire intraclub in the front half.
Jack Ross and Riley Collier-Dawkins were prolific in midfield for the 'B' team before joining Stack, Oleg Markov (three goals), Derek Eggmolesse-Smith and Mabior Chol in the 'A' team after half-time.
They replaced the Tigers' six State of Origin representatives in a pointer to the likely line-up for the Marsh Community Series date with the Pies in Wangaratta on March 1.
Tom Lynch, Trent Cotchin, Dustin Martin, Bachar Houli (Victoria), Jack Riewoldt and Shane Edwards (All-Stars) will play in the Bushfire Relief game two days prior at Marvel Stadium.
Houli, who was late to his feet after a heavy contest on three-quarter time, sat out the final term with Cotchin.
The Tigers, who won the flag last year with two genuine ruckmen, will continue to trial different set-ups during pre-season as Nankervis returns to full fitness.
"We still talk about it every day, who is our best ruckman and best ruck combination," assistant coach Justin Leppitsch said.
"Soldo looks like he's got better and Toby's on his way back obviously. Then we've got our athletic forwards in Mabior, CJ (Coleman-Jones).
"It's going to be a real challenge."
Kamdyn McIntosh ran laps prior to the hitout as he recovers from an ankle injury he suffered in January, while draftee Thomson Dow was missing due to illness.

Foxsports reporter on SEN:
Richmond is looking pretty ominous.
Healthy list. Only Ellis (traded) & Nank missing from the premiership 22. Kmac the only other one coming back from injury (ran laps).
Houli & Cotch played 3/4ers.
A-term had Jack, Lynch & Dusty starting up forward and the rest cleared out.
Bolton - best on ground up to half-time
Markov impressed today.
Chol - rucked with Soldo and played well especially forward of the ball.
Ross - looked good in the midfield.
RCD - played mid, matched-up on Dusty, kicked a good running goal.
Richmond just keep finding good players.

Fringe Tigers’ star performances prove Richmond, scarily, should only get better
February 20, 2020 1:07pm

Opposition clubs, beware.
Richmond’s intra-club on Thursday morning at Punt Road went off without a hitch. There were no new injuries and ample reasons for Tigers fans to dream big.
Not that any of this comes as a huge surprise, but there will be plenty of unlucky players at selection before Round 1.
Shai Bolton’s first half was electric, booting two goals and having a hand in several others. He was on the stronger yellow team, which was essentially Damien Hardwick’s best 22.
Bolton took a spectacular mark early and was a constant threat in the front half. “He was exceptional,” assistant coach Justin Leppitsch said post-match.
Teammate Riley Collier-Dawkins, who Hardwick said had put on 7kg over the summer, will be hard to keep out of the senior team. Ditto Sydney Stack, who booted two goals.
One of the shining lights in the weaker team was Oleg Markov, who finished with three majors and presented well all morning.
At half-time, Tom Lynch, Jack Riewoldt, Dustin Martin, Trent Cotchin, Bachar Houli and Shane Edwards swapped sides. All six have been selected in the Bushfire Relief match next Friday, which Leppitsch noted will allow the Tigers to give opportunities to half-a-dozen fringe players in the Marsh Community Series.
The change of line-ups meant the yellow side resembled the team Richmond is likely to take into its first Marsh Series match in a couple of weeks.
At three-quarter time, Houli and Cotchin took off their GPS monitors and boots, while the other four big guns played on. Houli had been slightly winded but smiled and took photos with fans before heading into the changing rooms.
The Tigers had a few teething issues early in the match with rotations, which prompted Hardwick to come down from the Jack Dyer Stand – where he was sitting next to assistants Adam Kingsley and Craig McRae – to the bench.
The stronger team began the match with three deep forwards and plenty of space in front of them: Martin, Lynch and Riewoldt. The latter two booted three majors between them, while Martin spent plenty of time on the ball and even in the back half, which is an area he rarely frequented in 2019.
Jack Higgins and Stack were on the ‘weaker’ team, but Leppitsch was impressed by their efforts.
“They performed really well,” the former Brisbane coach said.
“They could easily slot into our group and play regular senior footy this year. Jack was terrific and gets a lot of the ball. More importantly, it’s great to see him back.”
Marlion Pickett defied his light build several times in the clinches and looked every bit the player he was on Grand Final day last September.
There was one particular piece of play which had both benches applauding when Pickett, under serious duress, somehow saw Liam Baker 40 metres inboard and with his non-preferred foot, hit him on the chest.
“He is leaner,” Leppitsch said of Pickett.
“It’s his first AFL pre-season. Even at 27, the improvement you can get by being in the AFL season. He is still blind turning everyone which is good to see.”
Jack Graham played just the first term as he recovers from a shoulder injury. He’s unlikely to play against Collingwood next week but should be available for Round 1.
Nankervis played the first term in the ruck for the weaker black team and got through unscathed. He showed no obvious signs of the adductor injury that significantly impacted his summer. He then did some additional work on the sideline with fitness staff.
Kamdyn McIntosh ran laps pre-match as he recovers from a twisted ankle, while draftee Thomson Dow stayed at home due to illness.

Fox Footy's Tom Morris' twitter commentary of the intra-club:
On deck for Richmond’s intra-club at Punt Road.
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ERLHJjlU0AEt12x?format=jpg&name=medium)
Yellow team considerably stronger than the black one. Draftee Thomson Dow is away sick. Kamdyn McIntosh running laps. Jack Graham expected to play limited minutes. Updates to come.
Dusty just had two disposals deep in the back half. Don't see that often. Tom Lynch makes amends after dropping an easy mark and sets up Jason Castagna, who slots it from 30.
1/4 time. Bolton has had four shots on goal. Yellow team up by about 20 points. Riewoldt/Lynch/Dusty as a three-pronged attack is ominous.
Chol's chip pass rolls through for a goal. Jack Ross getting a bit of it now too.
Lynch gets his first immediately after. Set shot from 25.
Bolton is best on ground at the moment. Electric in the front half. Snaps his second goal. Great follow-up work.
Pickett? Yep. Has been good.
Draft pick No.44 Will Martyn slides through traffic and kicks his first. Excellent finish from 40. Then lines up on Dusty at the next centre bounce.
1/2 time at Punt Road.
Ralph Carr in the house watching the game.
Lynch, Riewoldt, Dusty, Cotchin and Houli swapping teams.
Markov, Ross, Collier-Dawkins, Chol, Eggmolesse-Smith and Edwards going back the other way.
Different jumper, same result! Markov snaps truly towards the Bridge Road end.
Pickett does some crazy stuff. Under serious pressure, he somehow saw Baker and snapped with his left inboard to find his target 35 metres away.
Dusty being very vocal. Sick of the overuse of handball, telling his teammates to 'kick it!' with a few other words in there too. Like it.
Riewoldt slots his first and then Collier-Dawkins snags one for the other team. He's following Dusty in the midfield.
Stack gets his second. Goals flowing now. Collier-Dawkins looks seriously good.
Cotchin and Houli have taken their GPS monitors off... They are done for the day. Both are playing next Friday in the charity match.
Where's Stack playing? Forward. He's kicked two.
Who was the best out of the recent draftees? Really like Will Martyn.
Pretty scary stuff at Richmond intra-club today. The selection squeeze is on.
Opposition clubs, beware. Promising intra-club efforts from its youngs guns prove @Richmond_FC, scarily, should get better.

Seven non-flag Tigers pushing for Round 1 selection
Sam Landsberger
Herald Sun
21 Feb 2020
Damien Hardwick overlooking reigning best-and-fairest Dion Prestia in Victoria’s line-up for the State of Origin blockbuster might prove a blessing for the Richmond coach.
That tough conversation is set to become something of a norm at Punt Rd with a bunch of in-form Tigers bracing for Round 1 disappointment.
With just 27 days until the season-opener against Carlton, Richmond boasts a shallow injury list and depth reminiscent of Australia’s Test team 20 years ago.
The likes of Jack Ross, 19, a bulked-up Riley Collier-Dawkins, 20, Noah Balta, 19 and Sydney Stack, 19, are all pressing for selection.
That’s before you get to injured pair Kamdyn McIntosh (ankle) and Jack Graham (shoulder), who should both be ready by the pre-season game against Grand Finalist GWS in Wagga Wagga on March 8.
And then there is Jack Higgins, who played without apprehension — and without a helmet — in Thursday’s intra-club at Punt Rd after his remarkable recovery from intrusive brain surgery.
That’s already seven players striving to break into a premiership team that lost only Brandon Ellis to Gold Coast.
The problem for that seven is that fringe premiership players, such as Shai Bolton and one-gamer Marlion Pickett, are sparkling in the summertime.
Assistant coach Justin Leppitsch said Bolton was “exceptional” after the livewire booted two goals in Thursday’s intra-club.
“We’re a bit unsure (of our best 22) at this point,” Leppitsch said.
“The guys that didn’t play in the Grand Final a lot of them played really well out there today. It’s going to be difficult.
“Noah’s one that’s looking for an opportunity and he played in our best defence today and was probably one of our best players.
“It’s really hard, because you’ve got to fit another player in. He’s made it really difficult for us at the selection table, that’s for sure.
“I’m sure he’ll get an opportunity next week in our first game.”
Pickett is completing his first AFL pre-season at the ripe age of 27, and it’s showing.
“He does look good, he looks sharp. He’s still blind-turning everybody, which is good to see,” Leppitsch said.
Leppitsch said Higgins was “terrific, he gets a lot of the ball and just knows how to find it” after his brave return.
“He and Sydney started in what you’d perceive as the ‘B team’ and both performed really well. They could easily slot into our group and play regular senior footy for us this year.”
Leppitsch said Stack was “a real weapon” given his ability to play all over the ground.
In the early rounds of last season the Tigers were fielding line-ups swamped with VFL names, but the accelerated development that gave the lesser-lights is paying dividends.

Tiger hopefuls show the hunger to break into Richmond team
Michael Gleeson
The Age
21 Feb 2020
Some of the most eye-catching players in Richmond’s first intra-club match of the year didn’t play in last year's premiership.
Desperate to break into the reigning premiership side, Sydney Stack, Noah Balta, Jack Higgins, Riley Collier-Dawkins and Mabior Chol were the ones who worked harder and did more to present themselves than most.
Noah Balta.
The surfeit of Richmond small forwards has the pressure elevated for places in the team. Stack, who could play anywhere on the ground, was clean and clever, and Daniel Rioli took the best mark of the day.
Balta shifted to defence late last season and has trained there over the summer. He was as impressive as anyone on the field.
But it was Shai Bolton who caught the eye more than any other player on Punt Road Oval on Thursday morning. That is, any player other than Dustin Martin, who always demands the ball and your attention.
Bolton was electric in the first half. He kicked the first goal in the opening 30 seconds of the match that pitted the nominal best Richmond 22 against the hopefuls. Bolton was in the best 22. He will stay there.
“The guys who didn’t play in the grand final, a lot of them played really well. Noah was one who is looking for an opportunity, he played in our best defence today and was one of our best players,” assistant coach Justin Leppitsch said.
“Consistent players like Jack Ross, Riley Collier-Dawkins, Sydney Stack, they all played really well and Shai Bolton was exceptional as well.
“It’s a real challenge for us how you fit them in, how many mids, how many forwards. It is going to be difficult for us at the moment.”
Collier-Dawkins, playing on the ball or out on a wing, will force his way into the team.
Marlion Pickett’s stunning debut in the grand final appears only to have intensified his motivation. He has returned fitter and leaner – not that there was a lot of him last year – but he is sharp.
“Yeah, he is leaner,” Leppitsch said. “It’s his first AFL pre-season. Even at 27 years of age the improvement you can get just by being in an AFL system … he does look good, he looks sharp, still blind-turning everyone which was good to see.”
Toby Nankervis coming back from injury played in the B team for a quarter then ran laps. He is very good when out there but it still leaves the most vexing of selection questions unanswered - who plays in the ruck?
Ivan Soldo started up forward but was good when moved into the ruck, Chol was excellent around the ground. And Callum Coleman-Jones did some good things.
"We still talk about it every day, who is our best ruckman and best ruck combination?" Leppitsch said. "It's going to be a real challenge."
Bachar Houli sat out the last quarter after being heavily brought to ground in the third quarter and got up winded and rubbing his shoulder.

Mark Stevens on Ch 7 news said today's training session at Punt Rd was a tough one. Like a first day of preseason with repeat sprints and time trials. Players bent over and gasping for air. He also said we looked in really good shape.

We trained first in smaller groups of 10 playing keepings off but with tackling. It was full on tackling too as the boys hadn't been allowed contact until today and it showed. For example, Bolton absolutely nailed Higgo with one tackle and took him to ground. After the media were told to leave, we did a 25 min session of match simulation.
ps. Some fans were watching training from behind the fence along Punt Rd.

Now contact, soon ignition: Tigers come to grips with footy restart
Greg Baum
The Age
25 May 2020
The oddest sight at Punt Road Oval on Monday was also the most reassuring. It was Bachar Houli's four-wheel drive and boat on its trailer, parked behind the St Ignatius end goals. When this training session was over, he was going fishing. It would be one tackle followed by another.
Until a week or so ago, the fishing was banned. Until just now, so was the tackling. Bit by bit, the world is being righted on its axis. Fishermen know instinctively to be endlessly patient. Footballers are learning it.
From all accounts, the Richmond players on their return to group training last week were apprehensive and uncertain as they tried to abide by rules that were so foreign. Figuratively, they were in straitjackets. They could feel the limits.
On Monday, they were freer, feeling now the possibilities. Coach Damien Hardwick was louder, talisman Dustin Martin harder. Richmond's full list was together for the first time since the shutdown, and chatter filled the dreamy autumn air. The distance in social distancing was growing ever smaller.
Footy training nowadays is minutely pre-planned – all those coaches have, or had, to do something – so the reintegration of contact was by carefully managed degrees. At first, it was in pairs, one player gently pushing the other as he jumped, to unbalance him. Two weeks ago, it would have been an indictable offence. Now, it was at worst a free kick.
Coaches and training staff kept their statutory distance, but you suspected now it was more dutiful than fearful.
Next came some body-on-body, but with restraint. Then, dividing into three groups, the Tigers rehearsed a bit of the fierce, in-close footy that is their marque. Voices rose an octave, several decibels too.
Tackles, bumps, grabs, shoves, scrambles and entanglements on the ground, and every now and then the distinctive sound of the slap of a hand on a bare arm. Their relish was obvious. This was footy.
Coaches kept the bursts short, but at the end of each, there were many hands on knees. As muscle memory returned, so did their awareness that footy's a tough game. Great, but tough.
This was not match intensity. Nothing ever is, except matches. But like Houli's boat, it was a touchstone. For the few watchers, doubtlessly as for the players, what was apparent was that contact footy did not look or feel in the least bit abnormal.
In a world newly and only half-conditioned to consciousness of space and its invasion, it needs to be said. In footy at least, the new normal will be much like the old, and that's heartening. When we're again arguing about what a mess footy has become, then we'll know that we have a part of our world back.
Footy wasn't dead, but like most other endeavours had been playing dead, by order and consensus. The return to full-scale training is a small step on the road back. At Tigerland, that could never be confused with a short step, not before, not now.
The MCG parklands and the city beyond were still ghost towns, but the Punt Road Oval had back a bit of its old bustle. A passing train driver joined in with two toots of encouragement, or was it recognition and relief? On the turf, the urge to pick up a footy and kick it, no matter what the drill, was ever present. Marlion Pickett, it has to be said, is chronic.
There was dew on the grass, and a few autumn leaves, too. These are the everyday sights and sounds in this pocket of Melbourne, latterly suspended, now raised again.
The voices of the Richmond players carried clear across gleaming but empty Yarra Park to the MCG. Soon, their bodies will follow. For football people, it won't be a moment too soon. For all others, we will have to trust the medical experts on its timeliness. But as footy begins to look more like itself, so footy will make the world feel more like itself.

Tigers brace for contact, Houli in doubt
By Callum Twomey
afl.com.au
25 May 2020
JACK Riewoldt says the Tigers are being cautious not to "smash" each other at training as contact drills returned on Monday ahead of round two next month.
But one player who is in doubt to be ready for Richmond's clash with Collingwood is defender Bachar Houli, who continues to battle a calf injury.
The reigning premiers trained as a full group on Monday for the first time since resuming at Punt Road last week.
They completed tackling and contested drills plus also some match simulation as they gear up for their June 11 clash with fellow flag contenders Collingwood.
Clubs are wary of striking the right balance between competitive drills and losing players due to injury in this period.
"It's a tricky [one], because there's obviously the contact aspect of it and there's also the physical demands of what is the right amount of work to be doing in a really unknown situation," he said.
"Our guys have got it right – we need to do some sort of contact but we don't want to be smashing each other.
"We know with the fact the season is shorter and backing up is going to be really important we can't go out there and smash blokes into the ground because this year is the year everyone needs a full list.
"For us it's about getting that balance right and we trust our coaches and fitness staff have really set us up for the restart of the season."
Houli trained solo at Monday's session, working on the outer wing and finishing his fitness work before the main group begun its main drills.
With the club taking a cautious approach with the 32-year-old's recent calf tweak, the dual premiership backman could be unlikely to face the Magpies in 17 days.
"Bachar's had a couple of small calf issues, this one's nothing major," Riewoldt said.
"It's just precautionary and when you start to develop a bit of a history with a calf you have to be really diligent and careful with it.
"I'm not sure whether he will put his hand up in two weeks' time, he's assured me personally that it's not as bad as what was first reported.
"If there's an element of risk that outweighs the reward, then we'll go down the path of another week or two off. When he's right to go, he'll be back. We know how important he is and how much of a big-game player he is, so [there's] no risks with Bachar, he's too important."

Pickett played as an onballer in a bruising 90-minute match simulation at Punt Road on Thursday morning, the Tigers' last proper hitout before round two in seven days' time.
Reigning best and fairest Dion Prestia completed the warm-up but failed to take his place in the match simulation.
The Tigers insist it was part of a management plan with the midfielder in no doubt to tackle the Pies at the MCG.
Premiership teammate Bachar Houli did his chances of a recall no harm, playing two of the three periods on Thursday morning before heading for individual running.
"We deliberately played him two of three quarters to build him but given the fact he's a seasoned campaigner, we think he's done enough work as long as he gets through training next week," Leppitsch said.
Jack Higgins impressed playing parts in the 'A' forward line as he looks to play his first senior match back following brain surgery last year.
Fellow forward Dan Rioli sent a scare through the Tigers' camp late in the hitout, copping a significant knock to his abdomen in a contest and was on the ground for close to 60 seconds.
After assistance from Dr Greg Hickey, Rioli got to his feet and walked gingerly from the ground.
Jack Ross, who Leppitsch admitted was in a selection battle with Higgins for the positions of round one pair Sydney Stack and Jack Graham, was trialled in a new role at half-back.

The players set for big seasons from the biggest three clubs - Richmond, Collingwood & Carlton
Max Hatzoglou
theRoar.com.au
8 June 2020
Across the board Richmond look good on the training track. It is difficult to spot too many differences between them and Collingwood and I wouldn’t be surprised if West Coast fall into this category as well. The premiership is certainly up for grabs in 2020.
First up for Richmond is Toby Nankervis, who looks as fierce as ever to become a top ruckman of the competition in 2020. He is moving well around the field, executing his skills, winning ruck taps and taking contested marks. Richmond fans can have high hopes for him in 2020.
Defender David Astbury is the pick of the defenders for Richmond. He looks in great condition physically and is holding his skills to a high standard on the training track. Expect him to have a solid season for the Tigers. The team can rely on him.
Despite the recent injury scare, the extra training time for Dustin Martin would have helped him in getting his body primed for the season. He could go to another level this year and win a second Brownlow medal but the question is whether the hunger is still there for him and the Tigers this year.
Martin and his team look just as determined as Collingwood on the training track so there is no doubt they’ll be a challenge for opposition sides this year. Martin has spent a fair bit of time in the forward line at training so expect him to impact the scoreboard.
Shai Bolton did some spectacular things during Richmond’s match simulation last week. He has developed into a good player for Richmond over the years and could become a top player in the competition as a small forward this season. His smarts in the forward half and around goal could even push him into Coleman Medal contention after kicking three goals in Round 1. The new, fast-paced game style in the shorter quarters will also suit him. At the age of 21, he could have a big career ahead of him.
Other players that fans should expect to do well for the Tigers in 2020 are Dion Prestia, Jason Castagna and Shane Edwards, who look in good shape and have trained strongly.

There were good raps on Martyn before covid hit. We need internal improvement and our young cubs stepping up to remain on top. Hoping Martyn is one of them.

AFL imposes group training restrictions again
... the AFL has got on the front foot to manage the lingering risk of the recent outbreaks by restricting clubs to small training groups, of a maximum 10 players, at least until all players on a respective club's list return negative COVID-19 tests.

Physical performance manager Peter Burge to lead Richmond in Damien Hardwick’s absence
HeraldSun
4 January 2021
Richmond will return to training this week without coach Damien Hardwick, who is on extended leave. But the Tigers remain in good hands.
Richmond fitness boss Peter Burge will lead the Tigers’ training in the initial stages of triple premiership coach Damien Hardwick’s extended leave.
Hardwick announced in late October he would take a longer break from the powerhouse club, which is likely to be until February, after a “full on” few years transforming Richmond into an AFL juggernaut.
All AFL clubs will return to post-Christmas training on Wednesday, after first-to-fourth-year footballers completed a two-week block of training from December 7.
The delayed return dates owe to the extraordinary COVID-19 circumstances that resulted in a later finish to the season for everyone, including an October 24 Grand Final.
Most teams focus on fitness when they return from their off-season break, so physical performance manager Burge’s figurehead role at Punt Rd isn’t unusual.

All AFL clubs will return to post-Christmas training on Wednesday, after first-to-fourth-year footballers completed a two-week block of training from December 7.
The delayed return dates owe to the extraordinary COVID-19 circumstances that resulted in a later finish to the season for everyone, including an October 24 Grand Final.
The Tigers will have a new-look coaching structure in 2021, with prominent members Justin Leppitsch (break) and Craig McRae (Hawthorn) departing Hardwick’s flag-winning staff.
Hardwick confirmed his longer-than-normal absence on radio station 3AW the day after Richmond won its third premiership in four seasons.
“It’s been a pretty full on three-to-four years and we’ve done a hell of a lot of work and had a lot of success along the way, but sometimes you need to step back,” he said.
“I’m very lucky that I’ve got some terrific assistants.
“A couple of those guys will move on, but the coaching group and the people I have around me do a large amount of work and the reality is I sit at the top and manage those guys.
“But I’m very confident those guys can step up and fill those roles, because it’s been a tough year – professionally and personally.
“I’ll step back for a little while and won’t come back until maybe February … just to give myself a little bit of a break and a bit of breathing room, because I need it at the moment.”

"The Tigers were set to resume on Thursday, but football boss Tim Livingstone has made the call to delay an official return until next Monday, so the full group can train together.
AFL players can train in groups of only 10 from Wednesday until they have a COVID-19 test and return a negative result before the end of this week."

I'd like to see more training videos from the club this time of year. There is not much out there and no training reports we used to be able to get.
Not sure about anyone else but I need them
-
Floss on 7news just said the boys had a good laugh at the media reporting that Dusty had won that time trial. He didn't. Everybody started at different positions around the boundary so it only looked like Dusty was out in front and had won. The winner was actually Kmac who ran an extra 400m than Dusty.
-
Any training reports out there? You'd think the club could some videos online.

Anyone know when we have an intra club hitout?

Anyone know when we have an intra club hitout?
Will depend on what is announced on Wednesday. Also the team has been up at Bright on that camp since Thursday so I'm not sure when they will get back. Training is usually Monday and Thursday morning, so I'm presuming any intra-club will be held on one of those days. Our first scratch match is in two weeks time so you'd expect us to want to hold an intra-club a week before then.

Dimma today said the players have been given 4 days off so the lockdown doesn't really affect us. The break must have started from last Friday as he then added the players aren't due back until Tuesday and we've got a couple of practice matches coming up.

Only photos I know but the players look in pretty good nick. Would love a few more training video's

We're supposedly having an Intra-club match tomorrow morning from 8am at Punt Rd for anyone interested (need to watch from outside the perimeter fence).

C'mon Melbournites, time for a match report

Word on the streets being number 47 could be the real deal- another gem selected by Clarke and Co. :shh

So we get nothing in regards to scratch match reports for our VFL side for the the rest of the season?? So much for fan engagement for 100,000 members. Just Lazy Richmond

Hey does anyone know if they do open training sessions during covid?
Also what day would they be if we have a Saturday game.

There have been no open training sessions during COVID19
For memory, AFL won't allow them
But stand out on the footpath on Punt Road and they can't stop you from looking
-
For a Saturday game, main training is Thursday morning (usually starts 8:30-9:00am) and the captain's run is Friday morning. As WP said you can stand outside behind the mesh fence along Punt Rd and watch.

Thanks WP and OE.
Would you recommend the punt road fence or where the superstore is for better viewing?
I am sending my wife there one Friday with an autistic kid she looks after who is a massive fan. I doubt she has ever seen them in real life so anything is better than nothing i guess.

It depends on what they are doing at training. Usually the outer wing fence along Punt Rd has the better viewing for full ground drill main training. The exception is if there is goalkicking practice or a rehab group working closer to the David Mandie building/Brunton Ave goals.

Boys were training this morning.
Few pics taken with Dusty and Tigger outside the ground which was nice for that little girl.
Im still trying to understand AFL logic why you cant watch training in the stands. Then again they think Shocking has done a great job so enough said really.

I think we need a new nickname for Parker. Bones!

“The players aren’t back until November 22 . . . so it’s a fair break for them. In particular, this year, given we came off the end of October Grand Final last year and had essentially a five-week pre-season,” Kingsley said on SEN.
“We’ve had a large majority of our group in most days, either lifting weights, running, or doing their running sessions together or having a kick of the footy.
“So, we’re certainly well advanced to what we were last year.”

Tan update:
Dion cutting laps with Stacky early this morning. Both moving smoothly and looking hungry for another flag.

According to Tom Browne on 7news last night, Richmond will let their West Australia players train in WA in December and they won't have to return to team training back here in Victoria until January.
Go to 1:05 min mark: https://twitter.com/7NewsMelbourne/status/1453630721264799746
So that's potentially Baker, Bolton, Broad, McIntosh, Miller, Parker, Pickett and Stack.

I hope stack stays on a farm with baker haha

Just got back from watching training. Would've been home earlier if a truck hadn't hit the Swan St bridge shutting down the trains at Richmond station :facepalm.
Anyway, Dimma and the coaches certainly didn't ease the boys back into the new preseason. It was a full-on 140 minute session!
The most pleasing thing was to see many senior blokes at training along with the 1-4 year players. Hopefully a sign the hunger is back and they're on a mission for redemption in 2022.
Present at training from what I saw (I still need to check my photos later in case I missed someone):
Ross, Baker, Short, Aarts, Lynch, Caddy, Lambert, Nank, RCD, Dow, Mansell, Ryan, Graham, Broad, Martyn, Stack, Ralphsmith, Miller, Maurice Rioli, Parker, Cumberland and Tarrant.
Biggie was there early on but didn't train and disappeared after warm up.
Absent:
I presume the other WA boys are still over there - Bolton and McIntosh.
Obviously Prestia and Balta are in isolation with covid.
Colina will still be in Hawaii.
Also didn't see Floss, Grimesy, Dusty, Jack (see other thread), Cotch, Edwards, Castagna, D.Rioli and Soldo.
Training was a mixture of shuttle runs, tackling drills, handball and kicking games.
Lambert, Graham, Short and Dow trained away from the main group and did their own thing. Initially ran a few laps followed by different distance shuttle runs.
In the main group's shuttle runs they split the talls away from the main group. In the main group, RCD and Ross (I think he was one in the cap) were up the front. I remember one of coaches from the boundary near me yell out praise to Ross. At the rear was Maurice (second last) with Stack last and falling well behind with each lap. The person I spoke to said Syd was 'closer' to the others than previous first days of preseason so that was a positive apparently lol.
The "kicking games" was about dealing with the stand rule (offensively more so than defensively). Starting at one end of the ground, there were a lot of 45 degree kicks on the spread before then a final long kick to a player who would act as a defensive interceptor and then they repeat the process in the other direction.
Near the end of training, Maurice went off to the bench walking gingerly. He laid down on his front and a trainer was working on his leg(s). Not sure what was wrong. Hopefully nothing too serious.
I took some photos but they were from distance and through the mesh fence. So when my phone is recharged I'll see how they turn out.
Any questions fire away.

After checking my photos, Cumberland was also there yesterday.
Been told Maurice only had bad cramp. So he's fine.

The media must have based their commentary on seeing Stack in the shuttle runs (especially the last couple) where he fell away behind the others. Also Syd staying out there after the session had finished doing extra work/runs.

Just got back from training. Roughly just under a two hour session.
All our new draftees were there. Banks joined our mostly mids away from the main group on the outer wing for running drills. For the boundary runs they had him running with Cotch. Clarke joined in the inside 50 and rebound 50 drill. He got through it but he was certainly feeling it with hands on hips after just a couple of plays. Gibcus, Brown and Sonsie mostly watched from the sidelines until the end when they did a few handballs and short kicks with one of the coaching/training staff.
As for the oldies/regulars:
Present: Prestia, Dusty, Ross, Baker, Cotch, Edwards, Short, Aarts, Balta, Lambert, Nank, RCD, Dow, Mansell, Ryan, Graham, Parker, Cumberland, Stack, Ralphsmith, Miller, Biggie, Maurice jnr and Tarrant.
Absent: Vlastuin, Grimes, Jack, Castagna, D.Rioli, Lynch, Soldo, Caddy, Bolton, McIntosh, Broad, Martyn, Colina (in Hawaii), Pickett.
Away from the main group on the outer wing doing running drills: Dusty (looks like he could play a game now), Graham, Lambert, Prestia, Balta, Short, Dow and Banks. Later on Cotch and Edwards joined them. Like last week when they paired up for runs along and around the boundary, Dow ran with Short while as mentioned new kid Judson Clarke ran with Cotch.
There were some game-based drills today. They had transition ones working on exiting D50 and entering F50. Aside from Stack and one or two others, the footskills overall were pretty sloppy. Too many missed targets. It looked like they had only been back a week :-\.
The other game based drill was inside traffic work. Basically keepings off by hand while those in colour bibs tried to tackle. As mentioned in the RCD thread, Riley did this sidestep that made you go "wow!".
RCD, Ross and Baker stayed after training to do some of their own ballwork.
Baker also ran with Stack, Biggie and Cumberland at the end encouraging and pacing them in their 200m runs.
Any questions ask away.

Nice report MT. Biggie and Miller- how did they look on the track?
Biggie looks larger which is a big positive.

Someone just share all the topless dusty pics so we can all see how his weight is going/consider turning

7news tonight showed Dimma back taking training today.
Dusty slowing amping up his training too.

Plenty of vision of us training in this latest Ch 10 news report:

Nice report MT. Biggie and Miller- how did they look on the track?
Biggie looks larger which is a big positive.
Sorry for the late reply, Machine.
As you say Biggie looks like he's starting to fill out and he has trained well so far. Towards the end of the Monday's session they were doing high balls to Biggie. So he's going to remain in defence based on that. As mentioned, Biggie ran multiply 200s with Stack and Cumberland. So clearly we're also trying to build up his fitness and repeat effort endurance.
Miller was paired with Tarrant. A chance to learn off Robbie. Miller also performed in the inside 50/rebound 50 drill. Although whole group were sloppy, Miller wasn't too bad. They had him playing high F50 for the inside 50 entries and then in the back 3 for the rebound 50 starting from the goalsquare.

Full squad back today at training.

Got back from training today. Approximately a two hour session. It was a VERY windy day.
The whole squad was present except for Riewoldt, Dan Rioli and Martyn. The first two are fine (still in Tassie and the NT) but we're not sure what is going on with Martyn. He's probably injured but we don't know what the injury is.
Graham was there but he didn't do any of the training. He just watched.
The new guys except for Sonsie joined in most of the uncontested footy & running drills. Sonsie has had leg injuries over the past 18 months so he is being eased into it away from the main group.
Dusty did mostly laps and some kick-to-kicks. Nothing wrong. He's fit and looking ripped but he can't do any contested work until January.
Lambert also trained again along the outer boundary away from the main group.
Good to see Soldo back. We were worried when he was initially a no show but he turned up about 2/3s of the way through and did some running and leg work (hopping, 'slaloms' around cones, etc) on his own with one of the trainers.
The schedule today was roughly:
- Warm-up .....
- Shuttles (50m back and forth = 100m done 5 times)
- Kicking game ........ (45' kicks inside and out to deal with the stand rule)
- Prestia hands ........ (handballing while being tackled)
- Contested tackling/Groundball work
- More shuttles (125m back and forth and then back again = 375m done 5 times
- Another kicking game ...... (inside 50/rebound 50 work)
The shuttles have gained a fair bit of attention with the focus on Stack. In the first 100m shuttle, Syd blitzed it leading all the way. So clearly he was trying to make a point. However, the first shuttle is mostly anaerobic, so by the 4th and 5th shuttle (which are more aerobic) Stacky was trailing last again by a fair way. To be fair he was better (by his standards) in the later longer shuttle runs. He was still last but he at least kept within 20m of the group. It's not as though he is isn't trying. He just doesn't have the endurance base for these shuttles.
The one who surprised in the first shuttle run was Gibcus. Won it easily in his group despite being 196cm tall. The usuals were also up the front - Broad, Short, Ralphsmith, etc. Bolton was also finishing top 5 in the most of the shuttles.
Our best runner was Kmac. It's why he gets a game on the wing cause he can run all day.
Nank won all the shuttles out of our big blokes. He's just an amazing workhorse.
Maurice jnr was better today. Finished in the middle of the group rather than near the rear.
Onto the gamebased training:
Still sloppy. Fair enough it was very windy but too many kicks missed their mark IMV given they were open targets. Miller had two kicks in a row across the ground which went off the side of his boot. Biggie also muffed a few of his kicks today. Actually Samson Ryan would be up there for best kick today. We were watching him closely and he nailed at least 4-5 passes in a row. Impressive for a tall bloke.
ps. It's hard to get a real good guide on everybody has we aren't yet doing game simulation stuff.
Finally, after the session finished RCD once again stayed out and worked with Morris. Bursts to the edge of the square before passing 40m to Morris on the lead. Riley nailed every kick. Like I said we haven't done game simulation stuff so it doesn't count but watching RCD since he's returned to preseason training has me excited to see what he can do in 2022. I hope I don't mozz him :-\ ;D.
Any questions, just fire away ...

Magnificent report once again!!
I received a report which stated SS has improved his work rate and in fact beat Cotch in the last shuttle. He is purely a burst player which is fine in my book.
Keep up the great work MT :clapping

Just got back from watching training today. Great sunny day by the way.
Present:
Vlastuin, Grimes, Prestia, Martin, Ross, Tarrant, Baker, Riewoldt (first day back), Edwards, Castagna, Short, D.Rioli, Lynch, Balta, Caddy, Nankervis, Dow, Gibcus, Bolton, Brown, Mansell, Ryan, McIntosh, Graham, Parker, Sonsie, Stack, Ralphsmith, Miller, Nyuon, Pickett.
Absent/Didn't see:
Cotchin, Aarts, Soldo, RCD, Martyn, Colina, Banks, Clarke, M.Rioli, Lambert, Broad, Cumberland.
With up to 12 absent and only Martyn (inj) and Colina (Hawaii) known outs, I'd presume a number of these absentees are either covid positive or close contacts.
In rehab was Grimes and Sonsie. Grimes didn't do much while Sonsie was running laps.
The schedule today was roughly:
- Warm-up .....
- 45 minutes of running.
- Kicking/hanndball receive drill ........ (rebounding off HB to HF)
- Prestia hands ........ (close-in traffic handballing while being tackled)
- "2 min Tick off" ....... (effectively handball rugby. One team of six with ball handballs their way through the other team)
- Old school one-on-one kick to kick.
- Another kicking game ...... (inside 50/rebound 50 full length ground work)
I turned up late but was told Stack did okay in the running which is a positive after coming back from the break. Was one of the best in the skill drills along with Dusty, Bolton, Dow and Brown.
Dusty, Dow, D.Rioli and Nank stayed out of the contested footy drills.
Graham was back to full contested training.
Some of the one-on-one kick to kick the match-ups were:
Lynch vs Tarrant ...... Even.
Caddy vs Ross ........ Caddy won most of the duels.
Hugo vs Brown ........ Brown showed his footy smarts in one battle where after the initial aerial contest which saw both fight
for the ball on the ground, he got back to his feet quickly, knocked the ball on and didn't take
possession to avoid Hugo tackling him before gathering the footy.
Biggie vs Balta ......... Biggie actually won that duel.
Any questions just fire away.
-
Dusty must have won today's time trial according to 7news.
-
We need Josh Caddy in this team. Proven goal kicker.
Looking forward to seeing him cement his spot again.
-
Biggie vs Balta ......... Biggie actually won that duel.
Any questions just fire away.
Thanks MT as always.
Early days but I hope they aren't considering Ross a defender.
Balta on Biggie....could Balta be training as a forward?

Just got back from watching training today. Great sunny day by the way.
Present:
Vlastuin, Grimes, Prestia, Martin, Ross, Tarrant, Baker, Riewoldt (first day back), Edwards, Castagna, Short, D.Rioli, Lynch, Balta, Caddy, Nankervis, Dow, Gibcus, Bolton, Brown, Mansell, Ryan, McIntosh, Graham, Parker, Sonsie, Stack, Ralphsmith, Miller, Nyuon, Pickett.
Absent/Didn't see:
Cotchin, Aarts, Soldo, RCD, Martyn, Colina, Banks, Clarke, M.Rioli, Lambert, Broad, Cumberland.
With up to 12 absent and only Martyn (inj) and Colina (Hawaii) known outs, I'd presume a number of these absentees are either covid positive or close contacts.
...
Confirmed:
Well over 100 AFL players contracted COVID-19 during the summer break, in a measure of how the pandemic’s Omicron surge has spread among younger adults.
Richmond had 11 unavailable to train on Monday ...

- Tarrant is going to be very good for us.
- Dan Rioli has been training really well.
- Wouldn't be surprised if Brown and Gibcus play early this year.

Just got back from watching training today. Great day out there.
Virtually the whole squad was there today which was good to see after the 12 missing last week. The only ones absent were Pickett, Cumberland (covid) and of course Colina (Hawaii). I didn't notice Caddy or Parker other there either but they may have been on the other side of the ground as the other track watchers didn't mention they were absent.
Will Martyn was back for the first time after his glandular fever.
Dusty is now back into full contact training.
In rehab were:
Lynch - rumour is he has a hammy. Just did light jogging along the outer boundary.
Brown - not sure what is wrong but like Lynch only did light jogging.
Lambert - started in rehab then did one run and kick drill with the main group before returning to rehab. Didn't look right. Was walking as though he had a slight groin injury but can't confirm.
Draftees Sonsie (first time), Banks & Clarke mixed between joining the main group and joining those on the sidelines in rehab. Didn't see anything. Just think they are being managed as newbies. Only Gibcus did the full session with the main group.
Sheds and Grimes also only did 2/3rds of main training. They are fine as they were doing laps and 200m sprints with Sonsie.
Unfortunately, it appears as if Graham did a hammy towards the end of training. He was feeling the back of his upper leg and left the track with two trainers :(.
The schedule today involved match simulation drills for the first time this preseason:
- Warm-up .....
- Kicking/handball receive drill ........ (rebounding off HB to HF).
- Exit D50, switching and entering F50 with opposing players wearing orange tops applying pressure and trying to intercept.
- Full ground match-ups starting with stoppage work (either centrebounces, wing throw-ins or HB free kick).
- Long balls deep inside 50 to pack contests plus crumbing.
- Inside 50/rebound 50 full length ground work again with opposing players in grey tops this time applying pressure and trying to intercept.
- Conditioning.
The match simulation had a couple of ring ins to complete the numbers. I'm told they may be Vic Metro kids but not confirmed. Balta played both as a forward (twice) and as a defender. Nank vs Soldo in the ruck duels. Bolton spent more time up forward then went into the middle towards the end. Stack like Balta seemed to play at both ends (better in the footy drills is Syd - more on that below). Baker very busy as usual. Tarrant (barring injury touchwood) is going to be very good for us. He's fitting in well into our defensive set-up. Cotch ran down Gibcus and tackled him to the ground. A lesson for the young cub from the old skipper. Best today of the mids IMHO was Ross. Keep this up and he'll be playing round 1. All up as a squad it was a much better session as far as footskills.
The conditioning for part of the group involved running from one end of the ground to the other. Stack (returning from a week off - covid?) finished well behind the others in each run.
Any questions just fire away.

Great report, shame about the Hammy's.
How did Prestia look?
Did Will Marytn train at all?
Thanks

Tom Lynch suffered a hamstring complaint on Monday and will train with the rehab group for the next one to two weeks.

A fit Prestia who isn't injured and doing full preseason training is good news (Touchwood!). Hard to miss him with that golden hair on top by the way.
Yes, Will Martyn returned today and did pretty much the whole session with the main group aside from one drill. I've been critical of his footskills especially his delivery inside 50 in the past but today his delivery was pleasingly spot on. Can clearly recall two cutting passes from outside 50 that hit their F50 target amongst traffic.
-
Many thanks mate.
-
MT - thanks for the report. I've heard RCD has had strong pre season. Did that show in the match sim? Did he stand out at all?
-
In match sim was Ross playing in the ctr?

Love the reports mate great work.
-
MT - thanks for the report. I've heard RCD has had strong pre season. Did that show in the match sim? Did he stand out at all?
I didn't notice RCD as much as previous sessions. He was away for the past week (presumably covid related) and yesterday was his first day back. Prior to being absent he was killing it and I had Riley as our most improved so far this preseason.
In match sim was Ross playing in the ctr?
As far as I saw yes. Ross is definitely in the midfield group. Yesterday he was also doing repeat kicks from outside 50 to leading F50 targets.

How is Junior and Biggie travelling ?.

How is Junior and Biggie travelling ?.
I'll wait until I see more of Biggie in actual match conditions before pumping him up too much but I'm liking what I'm seeing from him. He's definitely improved over the offseason/preseason and he appears more confident in himself in terms of his decision making and execution. The week before he went one-on-one with Balta and had the better of Noah in the duel.
With Maurice Junior, his endurance seems to have improved. In the running drills he's up with the others now whereas in the past he would drop away. This issue right now though is his kicking over 30m. He's either struggling to get the penetration by foot or he's simply spraying his kicks. There's too many missed targets. Feels odd seeing that from a Rioli (Dan is flying on the other hand this preseason).
-
So is MRJ not getting distance in his kicks or is he just misding targets beyond the 30.
-
So is MRJ not getting distance in his kicks or is he just misding targets beyond the 30.
There was one pass that missed its target by a fair margin sideways. It's not like the error is kicking the ball too hard and far and over a teammate's head. It just feels like he's struggling to hit targets 30m+ away. Unless he's trying to nail some low skimming pass and not hitting it right, he appears to be lacking the penetration by foot to cover that distance with easy and control.
Anyway, it's something to keep an eye on.

The squad is tomorrow off to Bright for a camp.

I'm off to Bright the week after :lol
Same as last year.
I remember last year the locals were super complimentary about our players and coaches
-
For anyone that has been to training recently, is there any hint as to any positional changes or game style changes? in particular our f50 entries under Teague etc?

For anyone that has been to training recently, is there any hint as to any positional changes or game style changes? in particular our f50 entries under Teague etc?
We've only started game based scenarios over the past two weeks. Having said that we have been working a fair bit on our F50 entries. No long bombs unless it's over the top to a forward waiting out the back. More quick switching by the mids to use the whole F50 to set up targets and more targeted kicks to hit up teammates on the move finding pockets of space amongst a crowded defence. Not sure if this is due to Teague and I haven't seen us play a proper intra-club yet to see this in action under the pressure of an actual match but that's what I have noticed so far JR.
ps. RCD and Ross have been staying back after main training has finished to work with Stevie Morris on their passes to a leading target inside F50. Old school repeat skill training.

Cheers for the update,m this is great, seems we'll be back to moving the ball a bit quicker again this yr & great to hear F50 entries are being worked on, it can't be any worse than last yr, tho quicker ball movement will help.

Ch 7 were at Punt Rd today filming training.
Dusty is back to full contact training.
Lynch still on light duties.

Tigers key forward Tom Lynch has been recovering from a hamstring injury in recent weeks and is “not far off” a return to training.
Kane Lambert is continuing to manage lingering hip issues, while fellow midfielder Jack Graham is managing a back and hamstring issue.

Back from training this morning. Mini intra-club today. About two 20 minute halves (I missed the first half but got info off my fellow watchers).
Get the absentees, rehab and injuries out of the way first:
- Absent was Dan Rioli.
- In Rehab were:
* Lynch - moving pretty well and was even kicing set shots at the end of the session. Expect him back into full training next week.
* Prestia - the newspapers were two weeks behind the times. He's been in rehab the past week :-\.
* McIntosh
* Lambert
* Graham
* Banks
- Unfortunately, Grimes went down today with a leg injury :(. Possibly an ankle. Not sure how severe it is either. He was carried off by two trainers.
Intra-club:
The teams were split into blacks and greys. The Blacks had numbers so they were easier to point out unlike the greys. So I might not have everyone correct but it's close enough.
Black Fwds: Balta*, Caddy*, Castagna, Cumberland, Edwards, Stack.
Grey Defs: Biggy, Brown, Ralphsmith, Miller.
Black Mids: Nankervis, Balta*, RCD, Aarts, Martyn, Pickett, Caddy*, Dusty*
Grey Mids: Soldo*, Ross, Parker, Dow, Clarke, Sonsie, Bolton*, Cotch.
Black Defs: Tarrant, Gibcus, Vlastuin, Broad, Mansell, Short
Grey Fwds: Riewoldt, Soldo*, Baker, M.Rioli, Bolton
Those with asterisks played multiple positions.
Balta - played key forward and 2nd ruck. Not sure if the move forward is permanent or just temporary given Lynch is injured.
Gave us the highlight of the day with a huge hanger :o 20m out from goal.
Dusty - didn't seem to have a fixed position. Just did what he wanted as expected. Got through fine so all good.
Gibcus - apparently kept Jack goal less. "Ready made" is the word out of the club. Not sure if that means Round 1 ready (?) but the trainers rate him and Tom Brown highly.
Clarke - based on today good luck working out if he is a left or right footer. Okay he's a left footer but he was nailing everything on both sides.
Bests (in no order): Broad (BOG for mine across HB), Balta, Floss, Ross, Stack.
Other things:
George was practising his straight line running set shots rather than his usual around the body attempts.
Any question just fire away?

RICHMOND
SHOW US YOUR SKILLS
Slick skills have been on the agenda and former Carlton coach David Teague has also brought some offensive flair after being added as an assistant coach.
Riewoldt said the team's game style would not change drastically but there had been particular focus on honing skills.
BACK FOR JACK
Premiership player and captaincy candidate Jack Graham was restricted to walking laps on Thursday as he battles mild back and hamstring issues. They aren't expected to hamper his preparations.
TOM TO BE TIP-TOP
Premiership forward Tom Lynch has been battling a hamstring issue but has been back to play in round 1 - and maybe sooner. He was on light duties on Thursday's main session and should feature in the pre-season series.
SOLDO ON SONG
Big Ivan Soldo is back after his knee reconstruction and he looked in top shape in Thursday's training session. He appeared to have added some size since his knee injury.

Just got back from training. Nice day outside. I turned up just for the scratch match.
Absent/Didn't see: Riewoldt, RCD, Lynch.
Rehab: Lambert, Graham, Grimes, Clarke, Banks, Ralphsmith.
Worried about Kane. He's still moving gingerly. Doubtful he will play round 1 as it stands.
Grimes did some jogging. I'm guessing he'll be a week or two before he gets back to main training.
The others were doing 200m runs. They don't look too far away.
The main squad was split into black and white jumpers and had a 4-quarter scratch match of 13 min quarters.
Black Fwds: Balta#, Baker#, Caddy#, Stack.
White Backs: Vlastuin, Short, Broad, Miller, Biggie.
Black mids: Dusty, Aarts, McIntosh, Sonsie, Soldo*, Cotch*, Edwards*, Dow (1st half)
White mids: Ross, Bolton, Martyn, Parker*, Pickett, Nank*, Dow (2nd half), Prestia (played first half).
Black backs: Tarrant, Gibcus, D.Rioli, Brown, Mansell.
White Fwds: Castagna, Cumberland, Ryan#, M.Rioli.
* - played mostly midfield but also spent time in the forward line.
# - played mostly forward but also spent time in the midfield.
Score (goals only):
Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4
Black 1 5 6 9
White 2 2 4 6
Goals:
Black - Stack 3, Baker 2, Soldo 2, Dusty, Kmac?
White - Castagna 2, Parker, Pickett, Broad, Cumberland?.
? - up the other end of the ground so I couldn't know for sure.
Bests:
Black - Dusty (he's baaaaack! or should that be he's quarterback*! ;) ), Baker, Soldo, McIntosh, D.Rioli.
White - Bolton, Floss, Prestia, Castagna.
* I don't like using Americanisms in Aussie Rules but it's the only way I can explain a certain structure the Blacks used at times today. We're working on something forward of centre but it isn't perfected yet. Our forward entries when numbers are behind the ball still needs work. Not yet nailing our options as much as we will need to in the real stuff. It didn't help obviously that both Jack and Lynch were absent. Both sides didn't have two tall forward targets today. It was more 2017 forward lines if that makes sense. Across HB and midfield we are clearly trying to continually play on and move the ball quickly exploiting the stupid stand rule.
All up it was a good hit out for an early Feb scratch match. A bit sloppy to begin with (dropping simple overhead marks) but got better as they got into it. Whites kicked the first two goals in the first quarter. Cleaner and more efficient to begin with. Blacks then started to get on top. Whites were still having enough F50 entries but the Black defence kept them goal-less compared to the Blacks who kicked 6 goals in a row (forward pressure was very good by Bakes). George kicked two goals just before 3/4 time to bring the margin back to two goals. Blacks then kicked the first two of the last so won comfortably.
ps. I didn't have him in the bests as he didn't dominate but Stack was dangerous. Worked between HB and the forward line catching whoever was on him running back to goal. Kicked a great set shot from a tight angle from a mark, one joe the goose from Baker and the 3rd was getting out the back and running 50m into an open goal.
Parker could have been in the bests for the whites as he got a fair bit of it across HF but he only kicked one goal when he could have had more. Some of the whites' forward play was odd at times. Either too unselfish or just dumb handballing to a teammate in no better position or worse when they could have taken the shot (hello Maurice!)
That's what I can remember for now. Any questions just fire away?

Whites were still having enough F50 entries but the Black defence kept them goal-less compared to the Blacks who kicked 6 goals in a row (forward pressure was very good by Bakes). George kicked two goals just before 3/4 time to bring the margin back to two goals. Blacks then kicked the first two of the last so won comfortably.
ps. I didn't have him in the bests as he didn't dominate but Stack was dangerous. Worked between HB and the forward line catching whoever was on him running back to goal. Kicked a great set shot from a tight angle from a mark, one joe the goose from Baker and the 3rd was getting out the back and running 50m into an open goal.
Parker could have been in the bests for the whites as he got a fair bit of it across HF but he only kicked one goal when he could have had more. Some of the whites' forward play was odd at times. Either too unselfish or just dumb handballing to a teammate in no better position or worse when they could have taken the shot (hello Maurice!)
That's what I can remember for now. Any questions just fire away?
Great report mate how did we see our tall defenders go ?.Miller , Gibcus , Biggie. How was MRJ ?.

Great report mate how did we see our tall defenders go ?.Miller , Gibcus , Biggie. How was MRJ ?.
Miller seemed to take the Blacks' No.1 forward which was Balta primarily who was rotating with Soldo. Had a really good battle with Noah. Miller had the better in the aerial duels with his spoils. I don't remember Balta outmarking him close to goal (Noah was more effective up the ground or playing as a high forward). Soldo kicked two goals but only one from a mark/set shot (the other goal was at ground level which Miller couldn't do anything about).
ps. Now that you've reminded me Soldo at one stage tried to soccer volley the ball for a goal but it ended up OOTF :laugh:.
Biggie: Because each team only had one KPF with both Jack and Lynch absent, Biggie was often on a midsized/smaller forward. So most of his battles were at ground level which is out of his comfort zone for someone who is normally a key back. I think he had Caddy most of the time IIRC. Caddy didn't kick a goal but he was solid in general play and more influential.
Gibcus swapped between Ryan and Cumberland. He had the better of Cumberland who made no impact and poor Samson was ordinary today against both Gibcus and Tarrant. As an aside Tarrant was mentoring Gibcus during the game.
MJR - linking up wise he worked hard and was solid but as a small forward ineffective. He had at least two chances where he could have gone for goal but for some odd reason handballed/passed it off to a no better option. I've mentioned before I've got a query on his kicking over distance. Maurice is going to need the VFL this year to work on his game.

Thanks mate I got a feeling Miller will play regularly this year.Great leadership from Tarrant on Gibcus no better to learn from.We need MRJ or Clarke to step up this year.Hoping we fine tune our game plan and cut this unselfish stuff and go for goal when in position.

I'd love to see our mids start having a shot at goal when they run inside 50 instead of kicking to a contest, even a lead. Have the shot unless a teammate is on his own

Some vision snippets from yesterday's scratch match:
https://www.instagram.com/p/CZyqhIOApxz/?hl=en
I have said this a few times but looking at You Tube last night. 4 minute match sim highlights at Norf and Dees. We get 39 secs of close up vision.
As far as pre -season engagement goes it's very ordinary.
By the way Jason Horne Francis looks very very good and CCJ looked to kick a few goals. Wondering how are young guys are fairing?
-
Back from training. Warm morning before the southerly breeze rolled in right at the end just before midday.
Pleasing to see Grimesy out of rehab and back in the main group. As was Judd Clarke. Riewoldt and RCD were back too after missing last Thursday.
In rehab were:
Lambert - I arrived around 11am and didn't see him do much. He went into the rooms.
Graham and Banks ran multiple 200ms along the outer boundary (said hi too :thumbsup ).
Lynch - Did one drill from what I saw where he played close to goal but then moved to rehab to do 100m straight line running (not sprinting). So he shouldn't be too far away.
Dow - told he was in rehab but he was gone by the time I got there.
Not scratch match today. They did mostly drills revolved around intercepting and transitioning out of D50. Things such as switching across the backline to exit out of the fat side; kicks back into the corridor; etc ... One of Judd Clarke's kicks from inside D50 into the centre was sublime :clapping. There was one forward intercept where Maurice Jnr picked off a pass and sprinted from 55 out towards goal. Credit to Miller who actually chased all the way and almost ran Maurice down. A slight jig by MRJ avoided the tackle and he kicked the goal.
Towards the end of training, Caddy, Cumberland, Maurice Jnr, Balta and Stack ran laps. Dusty joined them after a while. Caddy was a clearly out of in front for most of it. He's looking super fit. Maurice kept up third not far behind Cumberland so he's endurance has improve significantly since last year. No surprise Stack was last. He's good in the football drills but he's just not a long distance runner. Balta is the same to be fair.
Before going in, George and Bakes worked together on the set shot goal kicking from 40 out.
Positional groups today:
Backs: Vlastuin, Grimes, Tarrant, Short, D.Rioli, Gibcus, Brown, Mansell, Broad, Ralphsmith, Miller, Biggie.
Mids: Prestia, Dusty, Ross, Cotch, Edwards, Aarts, Soldo, Nank, RCD, Bolton, McIntosh, Martyn, Parker, Sonsie, Pickett.
Forwards: Baker, Riewoldt, Castagna, Balta, Caddy, Ryan, Cumberland, Clarke, Stack, M.Rioli.
Any questions just fire away?

Great reporting, these are very much appreciated. I know it's very early days as he's only just back from rehab group but how is Sonsie looking?
P.S it was mentioned today in the Captains presser that intra Club is this week. with Cats praccy match on sat next week i'd say it'll be friday at a guess

Great report, how did Gibcus go? How is he looking out there.
I know those inside the Club rate Gibcus very highly, pmac. I was told a week ago that one trainer said was he was "ready-made".
I have him behind our starting spine (Tarrant/Balta/Nank/Soldo/Jack/Lynch) only because he's a first year teenager. He's no skinny kid so he won't take long to fully develop but obviously he'll have more size/bulk and AFL experience in a year or two. Arguably a back-up 2nd KPD or 3rd tall in his first year. Aside from that, he looks "ready-made" in terms of skills, decision making and his positioning/reading the flight of the ball. Tarrant has been taking Gibcus under his wing the last couple of sessions pointing things out and passing on his experience.
I know it's very early days as he's only just back from rehab group but how is Sonsie looking?
I need to see more of Sonsie in match simulations to get a complete picture but he is progressing and moving well now. The Club being very patient with his rehab and taking things slowly is (touchwood) hopefully now paying off as he is involved in full training and spent a whole half in the guts in the scratch match last Thursday.
ps. The thing about this group of newbie draftees is they come across as natural footballers. Banks aside who is in rehab, the others appear to have a solid technique, some individual tricks that stand out and a decent understanding of the game already for first year players IMO (Things like their positioning, knowing where to run to, decision making with the footy, etc). I'm not watching scratching my head wondering "why did we draft him?". I'm actually looking forward to seeing them develop over the next couple of years. Still early days but it would be a massive haul at the draft table if say 4 of the 5 become at least solid best 22 players for the next decade :pray.
P.S it was mentioned today in the Captains presser that intra Club is this week. with Cats praccy match on sat next week i'd say it'll be friday at a guess
IIRC Grimesy said the intra-club is on this weekend. I'd presume that means Saturday as we have been training on Saturdays and it's exactly a week before the Cats preseason game.

Excellent reporting thanks for the Q & A. Love it.

Any thoughts on how RCD and Ross are tracking MT??

Any thoughts on how RCD and Ross are tracking MT??
RCD was absolutely flying pre-Christmas before he copped a minor injury. He's been back a couple weeks with the main group but missed the scratch match last Thursday so I haven't noticed him as much in the new year so far. Looking forward to seeing how he goes on Saturday in a proper intra-club. I've been told the Club sees his role going forward as replacing Cotch's role in our midfield. We need him to step up.
Ross has been solid. He's back being tried this preseason as an inside mid which suits him more IMO as he sees and gets more of the ball. He's also been doing extra work on his delivery by foot into our F50. This preseason has been a step forward for him. For mine, he's right on the edge of our 22. I want to see him impose himself in an actual game. His form and output over the next couple of weeks in the intra-club and preseason games will determine if he earns a spot on the bench in round 1 or not. There's a couple of spots still up for grabs for round 1 IMO depending on injuries [Lambert & Graham are in rehab] and how we step up as a team and he's one of those vying for one of those spots.

Thx for the replies to our question, I'd say (i am only guessing here) that Lambert & Graham may miss the praccy matches & possibly early rounds as well so both Ross & RCD will have those praccy games & intra Club to push their case. I have been wondering why not much has been said about RCD post xmas.

Just got back from watching training this morning.
Absent: Dan Rioli, Nankervis.
Rehab: Lambert, Graham, Banks, Cotch & Parker.
Parker was moving okay so his ankle must not be too bad.
Graham has back-related hammy issues. So now becoming increasingly in doubt for round 1 if this continues. He did do some kicking towards the end of the session.
Lambert joined in non-contact drills with the main group. Anything that simply involved running around and kicking or handballing.
Main group:
The good news is Dusty and Lynch trained fully. So all good there. Expect both to play on Saturday (at least for some of the match).
The main group did mostly defence to offence transitional drills today. The drill with opposing 'teams' resulted in some casualties :-\. RCD copped a couple of knocks today and left the track. The first knock was as a result of a run down tackle on Maurice Jnr. The second knock was from both he and Shai contesting for a mark in the air. RCD may have come down on his ankle (?). Bolton also left the track early (not sure if due to the same incident). Balta was another who didn't complete training (disappeared halfway through). Not sure what their status is. Touchwood they're okay :pray.
The final drill of the day split the group into their lines. The key forwards and key defenders did contesting work out of the goalsquare. The small forwards were up the other end. Small defenders kick-to-kick. The mids did some handball keepings-off before Soldo and Ryan joined the onball mids at the centre circle to do some stoppage work.
Key Forwards: Lynch, Jack, Soldo, Ryan.
Key Defenders: Tarrant, Gibcus, Biggie, Miller, Grimes.
Mid/small forwards: Edwards, Baker, Stack, Castagna, Cumberland, Caddy, Maurice Jnr, Clarke.
Mid/small defenders: Broad, Short, Vlastuin, Mansell, Ralphsmith, Brown.
Mids: Kmac, Sonsie, Pickett.
Rucks: Soldo, Ryan
Onball mids: Dusty, Prestia, Dow, Ross, Martyn, Aarts.
ps. We did notice some bloke who looked too well dressed to be your average supporter filming for about 10 mins with his phone. May have been an opposition scout.
That's what I can remember for now. Any questions just fire away?

Great report mate. Seems like we are getting these small injuries or knocks to players weekly only downside. Did Dow join in the main group now ?. Was Clarke in the main group ?. Who do you believe is ahead Miller or Biggie for a position in the backline.

Ch 9 news said Cotch on Monday was seen at the Scanning Clinic for a check-up. Nothing sinister. Just precautionary.

Yep both Dow and Clarke were in the main group.
Miller vs Biggie? That's a good question!
I think it would be a horses for courses choice based on opposition match-ups. Miller for the bigger bodied KPFs and Biggie for the more mobile/agile key forwards. They will only come into the senior side if Tarrant, Balta or even Gibcus are injured. If Balta is used up forward then they are vying with Gibcus for a key back spot and IMO Gibcus would get the nod first as the Club rates him very highly already. I was told that in a Club80 forum Dimma apparently said to members to put Gibcus as well as Brown and Sonsie in their Supercoach team.

7news with some training/injury updates:
* Lambert sent in for more scans on a hip injury which will keep him out of the early rounds with no timeline set for a return.
* Graham - hamstrung [ed. told it was back related] but will start light training next week.
* Cotch is being "managed" so that's why he isn't playing in the practice match tomorrow.
* Dan Rioli missing too but no mention as to why.

Back from training this morning.
Absent:
Dusty - don't know why.
Grimes - apparently covid related and the 7 days is up tomorrow.
Mansell - same as Grimesy.
Parker - didn't notice him out there. So perhaps absent due to that ankle.
Rehab:
Lambert - see his thread.
Floss - hammy. Was moving/running okay so it doesn't look a bad one. Round 1 will be close to 3 weeks so touchwood he's okay be then and play.
Graham - back related hammy. Joined in at least 3 of the main group's drills. Hopefully that's a positive sign. I'd still have him unlikely to play round 1.
Banks - wrist. I was told he was at the latest Club80 forum and it was mentioned he's still struggling with that wrist (on top of a quad and hammy over the preseason) and this year could be a bit of a write off for Sam. I was also told that Kmac reckons Banks' running capacity is amazing and he'd be the best at the Club for the role the Club wants him to play.
Main training:
We were almost given heart failure when Cotch sat out of a drill late in the session talking to Burge but he rejoined the main group for the last drill .... Phew!
Prestia was back into full training so he's okay :thumbsup.
Dan Rioli was back also.
Training today was more working on specific aspects of our gameplan:
* Slow D and rebound.
* Switch of play and contest to contest circle work.
* Stoppage work for the centre mids and Soldo.
* In tight handballing and tackling (keepings off) for the other smalls/mids.
* 1-on-1 contesting for the tall forwards, rucks (Soldo did this too) vs tall backs
Line groups:
Backs: Tarrant, Miller, Gibcus, Biggie, Broad, Short, Dan Rioli, Ralphsmith, Brown
Centre Mids: Soldo*, Prestia, RCD, Ross, Dow, Aarts.
Other mids: Cotch, Edwards, Kmac, Pickett, Caddy, Martyn, Sonsie.
Forwards: Lynch, Jack, Balta, Ryan, Nank, Soldo*, Bolton, Castagna, Baker, Stack, Maurice Jnr, Cumberland, Clarke.
I was told the Club is doing a '2021 Ross' with Will Martyn trying him a different position (wing/HB) when he's a natural inside mid :-\.
Any questions, just fire away?
-
Interesting about Banks. Yes he was at Club80 on Tuesday. Very impressive young man.
-
Thanks MT.
Few worries, especially Martyn. He's not gonna make it.
-
While stack is certainly capable of playing as a small fwd his best footy has all come as a back pocket/half back flanker. As is unfortunately usually the case it seems like he is nowhere near it for round 1, but at full fitness I would like to see him take houlis spot ahead of Rioli.
-
Thanks MT.
Few worries, especially Martyn. He's not gonna make it.
Was slim to none before...absolute zero now if that move to wing/hb is on...in terms of pace & skill he makes Ross look like Deledio.. :shh

Lol yep. Was never sold on Martyn myself. Ross actually looked a player before they stuffed his position around.
It has to be said that all of our players who were NGA for other clubs have amounted to zilch. Unless I am missing someone?
Maybe we should be taking a page of of their books if they aren't taking their own kids.

Backs group: Gibcus, Biggie, Ralphsmith, D.Rioli, Vlastuin, Miller and Tarrant.
Btw, my 'spy' says Graham trained fully while Banks did the majority (not all) of the session.
Ch 7 arvo news said Floss hardly did anything. Looked to still be limping at bit with that hammy going by the vision. Looks unlikely for round 1. Grimes trained (showed him with ball in both hands) but they said Dylan was also unlikely.

Backs group: Gibcus, Biggie, Ralphsmith, D.Rioli, Vlastuin, Miller and Tarrant.
Btw, my 'spy' says Graham trained fully while Banks did the majority (not all) of the session.
Ch 7 arvo news said Floss hardly did anything. Looked to still be limping at bit with that hammy going by the vision. Looks unlikely for round 1. Grimes trained (showed him with ball in both hands) but they said Dylan was also unlikely.
Here's the 7news report and vision:
The Tigers are set to be without another key star for round one. Premiership defender Nick Vlastuin is battling a hamstring strain.

Just got back from watching training this morning. Beautiful day outside :thumbsup.
Absent: Lambert, Vlastuin and I didn't notice Nank out there either. I asked one of the trainers where Nank was but I think he thought I was a spy or something as he was very sheepish and said he didn't know anything :laugh:.
Rehab: Kmac. Just did some short distance kicking with a trainer on the outer boundary.
Main group:
Grimes, Graham, Mansell and Banks all did full training.
Session wasn't as long as others. About an hour and half tops. Mostly the squad split in threes for line drills and then as two teams for some match sim focussing on kick-ins and transitional play. Dimma was the 'umpire' by the sound of it and was strict as anything. Yelling out "you can't do that off the ball" and paying 50s if the ball wasn't returned on the full. Even Dimma must be expecting us to get our usual shafting by the umps :shh.
As far positions:
- Balta trained with the forwards. Presumably that's where he's playing round 1.
- Bolton also trained with the forwards. No midfield time at all.
- Dusty trained soley with the mids. No time in the forward line.
- Stack also was with the midfield group. Not sure if that means Syd being trialed as a forward has been dumped.
Backs: Grimes, Tarrant, Short, D.Rioli, Gibcus, Brown, Mansell, Broad, Ralphsmith, Miller, Biggie.
Mids: Prestia, Dusty, Ross, Cotch, Aarts, Soldo, Caddy, RCD, Dow, Graham, Martyn, Parker, Sonsie, Banks, Clarke, Stack , Pickett.
Forwards: Baker, Riewoldt, Edwards, Castagna, Lynch, Balta, Bolton, Ryan, Cumberland, M.Rioli.
ps. Lynch copped one underneath the jaw when Cumberland's high ball ping at goal instead bounced near Tom's feet when he wasn't expecting it and the ball flicked up and got him. All good though thankfully.
pps. Another ball went over the Brunton Ave end fence. First time I've kicked a footy in ages. Felt good to have footy back :thumbsup.
Any questions, just fire away?

Well done MT.
Grimes looking likely to play rd1?
Team selection will be an interesting watch.
Playing Stack on the wing makes sense to me as he is so creative. His tank is the only issue, however he could play between the arcs and leave the full length goal to goal running to the running machines.
Ralphsmith to replace Vlastuin.
-
Mainly a thank you post for you @mightytigers :clapping :bow
I really appreciate the time and effort you put into doing the training updates for those of us who can't get along :thumbsup
Training question: How are Mansell & Banks looking especially now Banks is out of Rehab?

Should know more Tuesday & Wednesday about Grimesy (see other thread).
Agree Machine about Stacky. He's better behind the ball.
IMV Ralphsmith is replacing Houli. That rebounding defender along with Short & Dan Rioli. So Floss' interceptor role either goes to Broad (eg: 2020 GF), Grimes (if he plays) or Gibcus if he plays as a 3rd rather than a 2nd tall defender. Dimma is not showing his cards so it's hard to tell what he'll do.

Training question: How are Mansell & Banks looking especially now Banks is out of Rehab?
IMO Mansell has had a strong preseason. It's only covid in the past week or two that's forced him to miss the preseason games so he's come back as though he didn't miss a beat. He's right on the edge of our 22. If Floss doesn't play which seems likely now then I could see Mansell coming in. I know a few of our supporters would have Mansell ahead of Dan Rioli in any case but Dimma seems to prefer Dan and Short ahead of him by the look of it. So Mansell needs one of our small defenders to miss for him to come in at this stage.
As for Banks it's a bit too early to judge yet. Looks fit and all. His kicking though was rusty last time I saw training. Better today. It's just good to see him finally out of rehab as there was talk that wrist might make 2022 a write off. Hopefully he gets a run in our first VFL game against Southport.

Back from watching training this morning. Another hour and a half session (10.30am - Noon).
Absent:
- Nank again (thankfully it's covid protocols and he's playing Thursday night).
Rehab:
- Lambert
- Vlastuin
- McIntosh .... not sure what is wrong but I presume it's a lower body issue (either somewhere along a leg or groin).
Floss and Kmac just walked together doing a few laps around the boundary and then some light stepping exercises on the outer wing.
Lambert joined in with the main group in a couple of the drills.
Biggie left the main group midway through and came over to the rehab trainers pointing at his right quad. He later joined the main group towards the end of the session so I'm guessing he's okay.
Main group:
The drills today were:
- Circle work
- Decision making (exiting D50 and entering F50)
- Team Defence (one defender bodies the forward under the ball for 3rd man to mark), D50 crumbing, clearance and rebound work.
- 2 by 2 tackling
- Match sim
- 1-on-1 forward/defender contesting
Balta trained as a defender today. I'm guessing it's a precaution in case Grimes doesn't play.
Bolton was in the guts in the match sim. Soldo, Dusty, Cotch and Shai were the starting four.
Graham trained fully again. That's at least the past 3 straight sessions he's completed I believe. Fingers crossed he may be right to play Thursday night :pray.
Dan Rioli stubbed his foot as he was kicking near us. He went to bench for a while and went through a series of exercises with a trainer. At the end it looked like he was moving fine so hopefully he is okay.
Highlight was Soldo taking a one-handed diving mark in the 1-on-1 contesting drill. Could hear a giant "woah!" from everyone ;D. Steve Morris was videoing the drill so hopefully there's vision of it.
All up it was a very sloppy session. It was windy and high balls were noticeably being dragged by the breeze towards the Punt Road pocket but there were too many sprayed kicks and missed targets across the ground. Can't afford this many mistakes on Thursday night. The exceptions were Dusty, Shai and Brown who were nailing their passes. Hugo was decent too today. Lynch looked on song up forward with strong contested marks and straight kicks through the middle.
Any question, just fire away?

Yeah give and take condition's , but to sloppy missing targets that killed us last season I hope skills improved all round was a huge let down. Who out of the kids did well ?.Miller needs to grabbing that defence position with 2 hands not Gibcus.

Yep. If we want to change up gears during games and control/possess the ball at times then we can't afford such sloppiness. Every poor pass at training equates to a turnover to the opposition in a real game.
Of our kids - Brown, Mansell & Hugo were arguably our best today IMHO. I've become a fan of Tom Brown so I'm probably a bit biased. He's just a natural footballer.
Agree about Miller. A modern defender needs to have an offensive component to his game. He just can't be a spoiler/nullifier and that's it. So Miller needs to develop that turning defence into the start of an attack (rebound) side to his game. Gibcus naturally has that already so that's why he's jumped Miller in the pecking order. Gibcus' natural ball skills are superior too IMHO.

Back from training. Perfect day outside.
Absent:
Dusty (personal)
Rehab:
Prestia (hammy): 200m runs along the outer boundary. Moving at a decent pace given it wasn't a bad hammy.
Vlastuin (hammy): Still a fair way off by the look it. Mostly jogging also along the boundary but not at any pace.
Riewoldt (thumb): Left the track before I got to training. Pics showed he walked a lap or two.
Main group:
A few drills today focussed on centre work and contesting. No real surprise there after the Carlton game and with us facing another strong midfield in GWS.
Drills today were:
- line drills: squad split into their lines to work on separate things.
- Tackling & handball keepings off in close.
- Pinball (my name for it): Players would run with the ball and bounce off about 3 blokes holding paddings.
- "Craft and technique": just 4-vs-4 centre contesting work and centre clearances (rucks & mids only)
- Match play
- Circle work: Defensive clearance, switching and transition.
Lines:
Backs: Grimes, Tarrant, Short, D.Rioli, Gibcus, Brown, Mansell, Broad, Ralphsmith, Miller, Biggie.
Rucks/Mids: Ross, Cotchin, Edwards, Soldo, Caddy, Nankervis, RCD, Dow, Bolton, McIntosh, Graham, Martyn, Parker, Sonsie, Stack, Pickett.
Forwards: Baker, Castagna, Lynch, Balta, Lambert, Ryan, Cumberland, Banks, Clarke, M.Rioli.
Balta - trained with the forwards so as Dimma said that's where he is playing on Sunday.
Bolton - did the full session ... phew!
Lambert - did the full session by the look of it but in the match play played as a half-forward. So no centre and heavy contesting work yet.
Dan Rioli - a watch and see. He should still play as he completed the training session with the main group but a couple of times during the session he spent time with a trainer and about 5 mins in the rehab group.
Maurice Rioli - I've been critical of his ability to kick over distance accurately but his three around the body shots from 40m all went through the middle.
Stack - trained well today. Very clean.
Any questions .... just fire away?

Great report mate.How the kids look ,Sonsie, Brown ,RCD ,Dow, Banks.Did Miller and Ryan train well.I hope our skills were alot cleaner today.

Great report mate.How the kids look ,Sonsie, Brown ,RCD ,Dow, Banks.Did Miller and Ryan train well.I hope our skills were alot cleaner today.
All up the skills were mixed. Some good patches where the ball didn't hit the grass and some sloppy moments where open targets were missed. Better than last week thankfully but still it needs to improve. Every missed target and fumble at training is a potential turnover in a real game as we found out against Carlton :P.
RCD did a ripper well weighted pin point pass from the wing to the pocket. The question mark is still his ability to cover ground. One play in the circle work he was initially level with Baker and Kmac and ended up behind them. To be fair he did end up being used in the passage. I'm not sure the ribs are an excuse anymore as he was doing all the in traffic and contested drills.
Dow was in the first starting 4 of the centre work drills IIRC. I expect him to play this week and he has been picked in the squad.
I'm a fan of Sonsie so I'm a bit biased. He did this fantastic one hand scoop off the ground at pace from a (deliberate) deflection off a tall (Soldo) on the wing. Dimma though has said he wants Sonsie to build up his match fitness first at VFL level.
Brown (defence) & Banks (forward) did what they had to do but they didn't stand out in any way today.
Miller lined up on Lynch in the match play. He was solid without any outstanding moments.
Gibcus is the one who stands out from our tall defenders with his vertical leaps. Came from behind to rise up and out-mark Nank then gave the captain a pat on the backside to let him know lol.
Ryan - not sure where he is at. He just hasn't come on from the glimpses he showed in his first year. At the moment he's a bit of an in-betweener. Not a ruck and not a key forward. He's been training as a tall forward presumably because they don't have confidence in him (as yet) as a ruckman.

Given Ross has been named in the middle (where he should always be) was he training there & if so how did he go?

Given Ross has been named in the middle (where he should always be) was he training there & if so how did he go?
Yep, from what I saw when they did the centre work drill and match play Ross was one of those rotated through the centre square. He wasn't one of the first starting 4 in the drill though. He stood aside with Sonsie and I've forgotten who else (Parker?) waiting for his turn. They oddly in the match play had Will Martyn on a wing instead which didn't make sense either because he's an inside mid and not a wingman as well. Anyway, Ross did win one clearance that I recall when he gave off to RCD and then received back by hand running out of the front of the stoppage (the old one-two). They stopped the drill as soon as a ball was won and out of the centre circle so it was hard to judge how he went in terms of clean clearances and finding targets inside F50. The drill was more about centre-bounce "craft and technique" if that makes sense. Hopefully with Kmac and Pickett named on each wing Ross will be pushed back into the middle against GWS.

Rather see Pickett go on ball & Ralphsmith play on the opposite wing to McIntosh.... :shh

Interestingly Grimes is in the pic. So he must have pulled up sore at training today :huh.

1 for our track watchers, has it looked like we are in a "hard training phase" & if so could that be a reason for us running out of legs?

Nah wouldn't say so, JR. We have only one main session per week now that the season has started and individual player workloads are managed. My criticism of our training is at times the skill level is ordinary and not it's picked up. The last main session prior to our season opener was very sloppy. It was a bit better prior to round 2 but still not a high standard (I didn't see last week's session before the Saints game). As the old saying goes you play the way you train.
I do question our fitness and conditioning since Rob Inness left but we also use up excess energy because we're wasteful. Every little fumble and missed open target under no physical pressure (and dumb ill-disciplined free kick) is so costly especially with the more open game under these new rules. It kills our momentum and you've got to work so much harder as it opens us up on defensive transition and you've got to win the ball back all over again in the back half rather than having a clean easy possession and you're off into attack to score.

There's nothing yet on the RFC website.

They haven't been having open training sessions recently due to the risk of covid and flu by mixing with the public.
Not sure if it will be different up in Brisbane with our captain's run at the 'Gabba on Wednesday week?
I would guess there will be a main training session on Monday or Tuesday morning next week at Punt Rd. You can stand and watch from outside the fence along Punt Rd.

Spewing. Up in Phillip island this weekend so can’t make it.
Good on the club. Hopefully they get a big crowd, and it fires up the players.

From the HeraldSun.
RICHMOND
Return dates
First to four-year players – November 21
Others – December 5
Who is fit?
Marlion Pickett, Noah Cumberland and Rhyan Mansell are three players who are particularly impressing with the training programs they are completing in their respective home states during their time off. The Tigers have said Pickett is “training his bum off” in Perth and is motivated to take another step forward with his game next year.
Who is starting on time?
The Tigers finished the season without any long-term injury concerns, meaning most of the playing list should be fit and healthy at the start of pre-season.
Who was in for surgery?
Ruckman Ivan Soldo underwent post-season wrist surgery but will still be able to get his conditioning in with no major delays expected in his preparation for next season.
New faces
Greater Western Sydney recruit Jacob Hopper visited Punt Rd for a day after he was secured during the trade period, meeting players including Dustin Martin and Tom Lynch. Fellow Giants recruit Tim Taranto had been spending time overseas in the United States but ventured into Punt Rd on Friday and met some new teammates in the gym.

The Tigers expect to remain in premiership mode this season, having acquired midfielders Tim Taranto and Jacob Hopper through the trade period.
Their first-to-fourth year players begin official training on Monday.

Dustin Martin made his move and the draftees hit the track, but there was one man who really caught the eye at Richmond training on Monday.

Wowsers he beat KMac who is an absolute time trial beast.
Bloke is swole as F too.
Can't wait to see him run out in Y&B.

With pre-season now underway for the entire playing group, Richmond’s new Physical Performance Manager Luke Meehan provides an overview on the pre-season ahead.
Standout first-to-fourth-year players after a few weeks back
"I'm going to be quite cliché here and say the whole group has been really impressive. They've showed up with a great attitude in great shape and they've really shown that they want to either consolidate their spots in the team or push up and get into the team and it's been really great to work with them. I'd say the coaches would say the same thing."
Recruits Tim Taranto and Jacob Hopper's welcome to Tigerland
"They've been unreal since the day they walked in. They both showed up here early before they had to, they're really professional in the way they go about it, and they really want to work hard and impress their coaches and their teammates."
Strong performers in the senior players' time-trial upon their return on Monday
"The whole group again, which is actually true. As a whole, they performed incredibly well and definitely showed there's plenty of fight left in the group and they want to achieve more. I couldn't have been more impressed, to be honest. It was tough conditions and they were all really good."
Pre-season focus ahead of the Christmas break
"There's a number of things. One thing in particular is looking to build our work-rate capacity and aerobic work while we build up our skills time and set ourselves up for a really big January period. At the end of January we'll go on our annual camp and we'll be doing some pretty big training days and getting ourselves ready for February and practice matches, and Round 1 ultimately."
Draftees' introduction to the AFL system
"They're obviously going through a lot of change, having moved interstate a lot of them. So for us, it's just introducing them to the program slowly but surely, making sure they know what they're doing and where they have to be and all those sorts of things, and just being really smart with their workloads to set them up for increased work in January and February looking towards games."

Yep. The other bloke is Bradtke.
Quinton Narkle has this week joined Richmond for pre-season training, vying for the Tigers’ vacant list spot with 195cm, 21yo key Kaelan Bradtke from Corowa-Rutherglen.

Bradtke plz. No Narkle.
-
Thanks for all the kind words guys! :thumbsup
What I'm excited to see is the obvious intent of the squad already. There is no blatant complacency from the reports leaking out and the footage shared. The whole squad is eager to claim another flag and the inclusion of our three new star recruits (I'm including a fit Dusty in that mix) has created a sense of belief and competition to every player.
I'm looking forward to seeing how the standards rise over the preseason and how Taranto and Hopper gel with the rest of the team to make us the team to beat once again :gotigers

A 'like' button can be added as a "mod" (modification) but I would need to upgrade the forum software first (not a simple task unfortunately as any existing mods are erased when upgrading and I have to re-add them to the code afterwards). A question of finding the time :-\.

Why was Katie Brennan there? Was she helping with coaching? Certainly better looking than our other coaches! :snidegrin I'd like to see more of our women down at the men's training to continue their own development as players, leaders and future coaches. Our men could do the same at the women's training too. Anything to make our players and club dominate over the rest of the competition in every area, I'm all for!

Katie may be considering getting into coaching or fitness/conditioning (?) when her playing career is over.

Like previous years, the WA boys are given extra time back in their home state to be with family and they train (mostly running) on their own.

New Tiger Tim Taranto takes out time trial honours, former Cat Quinton Narkle's strong showing
Tim Taranto has backed up a strong pre-Christmas showing at Richmond, taking out top time trial honours as the Tigers returned to training on Thursday
By Josh Gabelich
afl.com.au
12 January 2023
RICHMOND recruit Tim Taranto has continued his impressive start to life at Punt Road by going back-to-back in the 2km time-trials either side of Christmas.
Hugo Ralphsmith nipped at Taranto’s heels for the duration of the return fitness test on Thursday morning, before the former Giant held off the Victorian on the finish line at the Swinburne Centre.
Nathan Broad was the next best roughly 50m behind Taranto and Ralphsmith, with Jack Ross and Liam Baker rounding out the top five.
Taranto was one of the best distance runners during his time at Greater Western Sydney and dethroned Richmond’s endurance king Kamdyn McIntosh on the first day of pre-season back in December, before following up that performance to start 2023.
Ralphsmith nearly produced a big upset but has clearly banked a strong training block since playing 13 games for Damien Hardwick in 2022, after the 21-year-old managed only six appearances across his first two seasons.
Taranto was one of the biggest names to move clubs during last October’s Continental Tyres AFL Trade Period, returning to Melbourne in exchange for picks No.12 and 19 after playing 114 games for Greater Western Sydney.
McIntosh didn’t test on Thursday, but most of Richmond’s list started the new year with the 2km time-trial under the watch of new high performance boss Luke Meehan.
After managing only nine appearances in 2022 amid a season of scrutiny regarding his future, Brownlow Medallist Dustin Martin continued his strongest pre-season to date by finishing mid-pack.
Richmond completed the test in two groups with the senior core running first, before a younger group ran shortly after ahead of a skills session.
Josh Gibcus was a clear winner in the second heat, recording the fifth-fastest time of the day to finish ahead of Bigoa Nyuon, who produced a strong performance after earning another deal in the off-season after breaking through for a debut in 2022.
Quinton Narkle made a statement in his bid to secure an AFL lifeline by crossing the line third in under seven minutes.
The 25-year-old was invited to train with the Tigers during the pre-season supplemental selection period before Christmas, after being delisted by Geelong after playing 41 games across six seasons at the Cattery.
It is understood the West Australian has stripped nearly eight kilograms off his frame in the past month after following a calculated training program over the break to increase his chances of securing a second chance.
Richmond is also trialing country football star Kaelan Bradtke ahead of the SSP deadline on February 15.
The 21-year-old played two VFL games for Sydney’s reserves in 2022 after putting his name on the radar of recruiters by booting 39 goals for Corowa-Rutherglen Kangaroos in the Ovens and Murray League last season.

Reigning Jack Dyer Medallist Tom Lynch continues to train away from the main group while he manages a plantar fascia problem that has limited him across the summer.
The 30-year-old, who kicked 60 goals in 2022 to finish runner-up in the Coleman Medal and earn selection in the 44-man All-Australian squad, isn’t in doubt for round one but won’t return to the main group until later in the pre-season.
Jack Graham is building up his training loads and completed a running set on the far boundary after undergoing surgery in November to correct a niggling issue that hampered him across last season.
The South Australian toyed with the prospect of moving to Port Adelaide during the trade period, but was retained in a boost to a midfield that now contains Jacob Hopper and Taranto.
Dylan Grimes and Jayden Short both trained away from the main group but will complete the full session on Saturday.

I went and watched the majority today's training session. I got there after 10am so I missed the time trials. As the AFL website's article on the previous page said, Gibcus easily won the time trial for the non-mids. My spy told me it was by about half a lap. Gibcus is also noticeably bigger across the shoulders.
Absent:
Pickett - hasn't been set yet at main training this summer. We're hoping he'll be back next week or two when his kids head back to school.
Bolton
McIntosh
Looks like we're giving some of the WA boys extra time away. Mind you Baker and Broad were at training.
Rehab:
Lynch - out of the moon boot and did a couple of jogs/runs before heading in early.
Grimes - couldn't see any issue with him. Perhaps being managed. Did some running.
Short - see Grimes.
Graham - coming back from that turf toe. Like Lynch has started running.
Soldo - coming back from wrist surgery. Some kick-to-kick with Grimes as well as running some laps.
Hopper and Cumberland stepped out of the contested handball drills but both then joined in for the rest of the main group's training.
Drills:
- Time trial.
- Contested handball keepings off.
- Transitional work (narrower field) - defenders either marking or spoiling; forwards either leading or spoiling to crumbers. Interestingly, Cotch was the main crumber :o.
- Circle work (full oval).
We haven't got into match simulation yet so it's difficult to know of any positional changes. It seemed Jack & Bradtke were the forward targets at one end while Tarrant, Gibcus, Balta, Miller & Biggie were at the defenders' end.
Overall, a sloppy return from the break :-\. Plenty of missed targets by foot although it did improve thankfully by the end of training. My spy says pre-Christmas wasn't as sloppy, so hopefully just some new year's rustiness :pray.
ps. For Sam McClure's benefit - Dusty is flying :thumbsup.
pps. Juddy Clarke did some extra goalkicking practice after training. Most memorable moment was collecting the ball on the boundary and snapping it through around the body on his left :clapping.

Thanks MT. As always brilliant work!

Great report mate how did you see the players on trial for that final list spot ?.

Great report mate how did you see the players on trial for that final list spot ?.
We didn't notice Luke Teal out there. So not sure if he is still on our trial list. So, the choice looks like it's down to either Bradtke or Narkle (or perhaps neither).
Hard to judge without match simulation. With circle work, you do notice Narkle's clean skills but IIRC the knock on him at Geelong was the defensive side of his game. Those of us watching really only see him being picked up as a crumbing forward as far as a possible need as he will have the same issue struggling to get into our midfield after the arrival of Taranto and Hopper. He's already fitted in as one of the bros though as he did extra jogging/running after main training with Dan and Maurice Rioli.
Bradtke, on the other hand, is obviously a clear need in the key forward role he plays but without seeing him in actual gameplay matched up against a Tarrant or a Balta, it's impossible to judge him at this stage. Hopefully, in the next few weeks we'll move into more match simulation stuff which is more fun to watch too.

The thing with taking bradtke (which I’m all for btw) is that it fills our list and leaves no spot for the mid season draft unless there’s an early retirement or someone is placed on the long term injury list.
Also is Colina out there training? Really don’t know how cat b rookie contracts work but with our cat A rookies who were listed last season, Miller still has 2 years on his contract to go, Bauer 1 year (18 month contract from when he was drafted), Biggy was out at the end of last year and the club announced he had extended for 1 season. There was no such announcement for Colina so no idea what his status is if he’s even still with the club.

True. That's why there's always the option we may not pick up Bradtke nor Narkle.

Glad you reminded me about Colina. Forgot to say he wasn't at training either yesterday.
Mate is still listed on the squad page of the RFC website. So, I presume he's still on our list.

Hearing Tylar Young is impressing and is a sponge. Will be ready when called upon and is viewed as a long term key back.
When I watched him last Thursday, one thing that immediately stood out about Young is his acceleration. Defensively gives him good closing speed and offensively allows him to burst away on the rebound out of defence. If Gibcus' injury is serious (touchwood not :-\ :pray) then Young may end up being an important back-up signing.

Training over the Christmas break
"It was a continuation on from what our focus pre-Christmas was in building work-rate capacity. We individualised it, and the way they returned with their time-trial results would indicate they all did it really well to a tee. So, we're happy with where they're at."
Who impressed in the time trial?
"Same people as last time. I think it's well publicised that Tim (Taranto) ran really well. Kamdyn McIntosh actually missed through personal reasons and I was wondering who would take it up to Tim, and Hugh Ralphsmith did a really good job and actually crossed the line just behind Tim, so he was probably the next standout which was really pleasing."
Next phase of the pre-season
"It's January now and we're playing games in about five weeks time, so the focus is absolutely football. We'll continue to build on some of the guys who are a little bit behind who have missed blocks of training. But other than that, it's intensity and football."
Upcoming pre-season camp
"It's going to be good fun, lots of team-building activities and we're going to test the players in a few different ways. We're looking forward to getting away together and working hard."

That’s good to hear. In my view there are 3 main proponents to a defenders game in the AFL theses days:
1. Shutting down the opposition forward.
2. Intercepting the opposition entry into D50.
3. Providing run and carry from the backline.
What would you say is the order of the 3 above that Tyler has in his arsenal from best to worst i.e. is he more of a shut down defender, lose intercepting marking defender or back flanker?

Bradtke, on the other hand, is obviously a clear need in the key forward role he plays but without seeing him in actual gameplay matched up against a Tarrant or a Balta, it's impossible to judge him at this stage. Hopefully, in the next few weeks we'll move into more match simulation stuff which is more fun to watch too.
AFL website says Teal is no longer training with us.

Richmond
Quinton Narkle is one of the biggest names hoping for a second chance at AFL level after being delisted by Geelong following 41 games across six seasons. The West Australian trained with the Tigers in December and has made a strong impression to start the new year after losing eight kilograms and finishing third in the second heat of the 2km time trial last week, recording a time under seven minutes.
The Tigers are also looking at country football star Kaelan Bradtke, who started with the club on December 5. The 21-year-old kicked 39 goals in the Ovens and Murray League last year and also made two appearances in the VFL for Sydney's reserves.
Richmond also looked at Oakleigh Chargers product Luke Teal before Christmas.

Richmond training updates
Jack Graham, Tom Lynch and Jayden Short completed agility and running training today.
Nick Vlastuin and Marlion Pickett completed a running session while others completed game simulation.
Dustin Martin and Shai Bolton played mostly forward in game simulation. Martin did progress up into the midfield during general play and was used quite often in ball transition back into the forward line.
Trent Cotchin, Jacob Hopper and Tim Taranto were the main options used at centre bounces. Dion Prestia did not participate in game simulation.
Daniel Rioli played across half-back in game simulation.

Also from today:
- Jack G, Shorty and Tom Lynch did laps only
- Flossy sat it out
- No sign of Ivan Soldo??
- Biggy Nyuon was having a real crack. Add some upper body bulk and he would be a contender for a spot in the backline
What I did see of him [Hopper], which was limited, he was in and under after the ball in a pack.

Tigers take things up a notch
By Grace Kalac
Richmond Media
Janaury 26, 2023
Richmond took its pre-season up a notch on Thursday with a match simulation at the Swinburne Centre.
The Tigers put their pre-season focuses into practice during two 20-minute halves, with a few VFL-listed players also taking part. The group was divided into two teams, one side wearing black and the other in white.
There was much to like about the contested hit-out, the team gelling well as they showed an exciting glimpse into the season ahead.
Veteran Tiger Trent Cotchin starred as he booted four goals and marked strongly inside-50, while Jack Riewoldt kicked two.
Superstar Dustin Martin also hit the scoreboard, showcasing his damaging form following a full pre-season.
Assistant coach Andrew McQualter said the decorated Tiger was "in a great spot".
"We're rapt that he's been able to do all the training this pre-season," McQualter said.
"He hasn't really missed a session at all, so hopefully it's a really exciting year ahead for him."
New Tiger Tim Taranto showed exactly why he was brought to the Club, moving seamlessly through the midfield. He also found the big sticks, and worked in tandem with fellow recruit and former GWS teammate Jacob Hopper.
"They're very good, strong, contest players, first-possession players," McQualter said.
Rebounding defender Daniel Rioli was impactful through his dash off half-back, while wingman Marlion Pickett was a solid contributor throughout.
Excitement machine Shai Bolton displayed his trademark silky skills and high-flying athleticism, and down back, Dylan Grimes and Nick Vlastuin were pillars in defence.
Judson Clarke slotted the first goal of the day and had a hand in others, while fellow youngster Hugo Ralphsmith exhibited his hard running.
Key forward Tom Lynch missed the hit-out as he builds up his workload following plantar fasciitis surgery in December.
"He's really building up his running and within the next few weeks, he'll be back into training and be in good shape," McQualter said.

Vlastuin returns, Martin makes statement in Tigers’ intra-club clash
Jon Pierik
The Age
January 30, 2023 — 12.31pm
Triple-premiership defender Nick Vlastuin may have overcome a rib injury, but he faced as tough a pre-season challenge as possible when matched up on Dustin Martin during Richmond’s intra-club match on Monday.
Vlastuin had spent time away from contact training, having fractured a rib at training earlier this month, but he recovered quickly and his run and carry were on show in a spirited clash of more than an hour at Punt Rd where senior AFL umpires took charge.
While co-captain Dylan Grimes had bulk minutes on Martin, Vlastuin had spells on a man who has been in mint condition through the summer. Martin has dispelled any fears his interest in the game – and the Tigers – had waned. There had been suggestions last year Martin was considering a shift to Sydney, and linking with the Swans.
Martin finished with two goals on Monday, his first coming after a strong pack mark in front of Vlastuin, and his second from a clever snap in front of goal. He missed a set shot for a third he typically would have converted.
Vlastuin and Martin, the latter the only man to claim three Norm Smith Medals, will be central figures in the Tigers’ bid to return to premiership contention, having been beaten in the opening week of the finals last year.
The Tigers have privately been delighted with Martin this pre-season, for he has barely missed a session, and appears set to again be a consistent threat. While acknowledging that at 31 he may no longer be the dominant midfield threat he once was, the Tigers believe he can create havoc forward of centre and inside attacking 50, particularly when left one-out with his opponent.
Jack Dyer medallist Tom Lynch is on the mend from plantar fasciitis surgery in December and did not take to the field.
“He’s really building up his running and within the next few weeks. He’ll be back into training and be in good shape,” Tigers assistant coach Andrew McQualter said.
Lynch, the Tigers’ best forward, booted 63 goals in 19 matches this season, averaging 3.2 contested marks per game.
Veteran Jack Riewoldt was busy up forward, while co-captain Toby Nankervis pushed forward when the opportunity arose. Noah Balta, who spent time up forward last season, was used in his customary role in defence.
Former Greater Western Sydney pair Tim Taranto and Jacob Hopper were in the same side and looked smooth through the midfield, having spells at centre bounces.
Quinton Narkle, the former Cat hoping to force his way onto the Tigers list as a supplemental selection, found plenty of the ball. Narkle’s dash has never been questioned, but his consistency has been an issue. He was in good touch across half-back and through the midfield, and pushed forward when the opportunity arose. He is keen to make a splash if given a second chance.
Premiership pair Liam Baker and Shai Bolton, the latter arguably the Tigers’ most dynamic match-winner, had a good battle.
Former skipper Trent Cotchin was busy at half-forward and pushing through the midfield.

Mega pre-season update on every AFL club

February 3rd, 2023 1:35 pm
RICHMOND
Positional changes:
Maurice Rioli Jr had been a standout on the training track over the pre-season and was likely to spend more time up the field as the Richmond coaches work with him to increase his scoreboard impact. After a slight decrease in midfield minutes last year, it seems superstar Dustin Martin will spend even more time forward in 2023 following Richmond’s recent acquisitions of Jacob Hopper and Tim Taranto, as well as the emergence of Shai Bolton and Jayden Short last year.
Who’s ‘flying’ on the track:
Jacob Hopper and Tim Taranto have made brilliant first impressions at Punt Road, both catching the eye in recent match simulation in on-ball roles. Taranto also won the club’s 2km time trials either side of Christmas, while Hopper has banked a strong pre-season after an injury-interrupted 2022 season restricted him to seven games. Richmond recruit Jacob Hopper is close to full fitness after a 2022 season that was ruined by a persistent knee injury. Elsewhere, Bigoa Nyuon had also impressed in training and could contend for a spot in the back six with Josh Gibcus sidelined with a hamstring injury
Injury watch:
Star forward Tom Lynch has been training away from the main group, but is expected to return full training later in the pre-season as he continues to recover form foot surgery before Christmas. Young defender Josh Gibcus is set to miss the first month of the season at least after undergoing surgery on his hamstring injury.

Lynch is the only one I'm nervous about. It sounds like he's on track to return fit and firing but his importance to our team structure can't be underestimated. The inclusion of Taranto and Hooper may in fact enable Cotchin and Dusty to regain their form once more and play more impact roles leaving the grunt work around the contest to the two new mids.
I'm looking forward to seeing what Miller, Cumberland and Sonsie can do this year after a solid 2022. I would also love to see more of Ralph-Smith, Clarke, Banks and Brown this year. Dow and Biggy could also surprize, fighting their way into the side with some excellent VFL form.
These training videos (and thanks again OE and MT for this - best of any forum) really show cases our superior culture and the competition for spots. It's hard not to have high hopes for 2023!

Six weeks before round one, we take a look at how your club is tracking on the injury front
Andrew Wu
The Age
February 4, 2023
Richmond
Forward Tom Lynch is building his loads after surgery before Christmas on a plantar fasciitis injury, while Jack Graham is also on his way back after a toe issue. Nick Vlastuin (ribs) is back in full work. Josh Gibcus will miss the early rounds of the season with a serious hamstring injury.
Tim Taranto, Hugo Ralphsmith and Jack Ross have all trained well. Dustin Martin has looked sharp in match simulation.
Expect to see former skipper Trent Cotchin spend more time forward. He kicked four goals in a match simulation last week.

Pre-season news: Jack Graham and Tom Lynch expected to play in practice games
Jon Ralph
HeraldSun
6 January 2023
Richmond premiership stars Tom Lynch and Jack Graham will be fit for the club’s pair of pre-season clashes after overcoming worrying foot injuries that have hampered their pre-seasons.
Tigers football boss Tim Livingstone said on Sunday Lynch (plantar fascia) and Graham (turf toe) would join main training in the next fortnight and were on track for round 1.
Richmond will enter round 1 as the favourites against a Carlton side that broke a long losing streak against the Tigers in last year’s season opener.
But as Richmond builds for those pre-season games with Dustin Martin in exceptional shape and dominating the club’s early match simulation, a young draftee will be sidelined for months.
Livingstone told News Corp the club’s first live draft pick in Kaleb Smith (selection 49) will be sidelined for six to eight weeks with foot bone stress that will curtail an exciting few months of training at Punt Road.
Richmond used up plenty of draft capital securing GWS midfield pair Tim Taranto and Jacob Hopper but had been enthused by Smith’s breakaway pace and precise ball use.
Damien Hardwick’s Tigers will resume their regular battles with an Alastair Clarkson-coached side in the official match simulation when they take on North Melbourne on Friday February 24 before an official pre-season game on March 4 against Melbourne at Casey Fields.
Lynch’s last act of the 2022 season was kicking the contentious score ruled a behind in the knockout final against Brisbane and after being eased through training Richmond believes he is over his plantar fascia issues.
“Lynchy is progressing well with his rehab,” Livingstone said.
“He will look to begin skills with the main group in the coming weeks. The plan is for him to play game time in practice matches. We are just taking it slowly and carefully and making sure it’s right. We are pretty confident it will be fine. He seems to be running OK and has no issues at the moment.
“Everything is coming along nicely for him and I would almost cut and paste with Jack Graham. We will look to begin skills in coming weeks and game time in practice matches. The plan is that those guys will be available in round 1.”
Martin had a significantly interrupted summer entering the 2022 season as he rehabbed an internal injury, took time away from the club after round 1 and battled multiple hamstring issues.
But the proof of his renewed fitness and motivation has been obvious on the training track in early scrimmages.
“He is training well. He is fit and anyone that has been down to see any of our match sim stuff would see that he’s been playing some terrific footy. He is preparing well,” Livingstone said.
RICHMOND’S SUMMER TRAINING UPDATE
Richmond is yet to decide whether to play two regular ruckmen but is determined to settle down Liam Baker and Noah Balta into defensive roles in their backline alongside Nick Vlastuin, Dylan Grimes, Nathan Broad, Jayden Short and Daniel Rioli.
“It is a challenge for us. Big Ivan Soldo is having a good pre-season, we have him and ‘Nank’ as ruck prospects,” said Livingstone.
“Ben Miller finished off the season well last year and he can give us great flexibility. He can play back, he can play on ball and showed some good signs down forward so we have some options. Noah has been doing most of his training down back as has Liam Baker this pre-season. So we are looking to have a good settled back six down there.”
DEFENDER ON ROAD TO RECOVERY
Josh Gibcus will be back running in weeks after hamstring surgery that will put him out for the early rounds of the season but ex-Roos full back Robbie Tarrant has not missed a beat after his strong back half to the 2022 season.
“He is a terrific guy. He prepares meticulously, a great athlete and he would say himself it took him a little while last year to settle into our system but once he did he played some terrific footy and he gives us great options down there down back depending on match-ups,” Livingstone said.
QUARTET OF YOUNG CUBS IMPRESS
Damien Hardwick’s claim that the most exciting part of Richmond’s list was its future has been borne out by strong summers from wingman Sam Banks, half back Tom Brown, midfielder Tyler Sonsie and medium-forward Judson Clarke.
Along with No. 9 pick Gibcus those five players from the 2021 national draft all have huge potential, with Banks much-hyped inside Richmond as a wingman who could have an impact this year.
“Judson Clark got a taste of it last year and did some terrific things in the games he played. He just does everything right and loves being at the club and loves training,” Livingstone said.
“We saw what Josh (Gibcus) did. Tyler Sonsie came in the second half of the season and the second year he is getting a pre-season under his belt which is exciting.
“We have high hopes for Sam Banks and Tom Brown. They are showing exciting signs in the match sim so far and we would love to see them play senior footy this year because they have got real talent.
“Sam has been doing a bit of wing work and runs those patterns well and uses the footy well and Tom Brown can make it over head and can mark it, so he’s been practising mainly across half back.”
HIGH HOPES FOR LAST YEAR’S DRAFTEES
Richmond selected two national draftees and a pair of rookie selections and while none came before pick 49 (Kaleb Smith) the Tigers still have high hopes for that selection of players.
“To be honest we have been really excited about what they have been able to do thus far. Kaleb will be held up a little bit but he is explosive with the ball, has genuine speed and uses it well,” said Livingstone.
“Seth Campbell (pick 12 in the rookie draft) is a natural goalkicker and clean and has been terrific in his approach, as has Steely Green (pick 55 in the national draft) who attacks the contest with ferocity. He is a bit like ‘Bakes’ (Liam Baker) and was happy to take the number he had when he started. Tylar Young (pick 26 in the rookie draft) has been in our VFL program for a little while and hasn’t put a foot wrong. He has great athleticism for a big guy and he will benefit from having an AFL pre-season at 196cm. We think he may have a future, this young fella.”
FINAL SPOT QUERY
The Tigers are not yet set on whether it will use its vacant list spot as ex-Geelong clearance specialist Quinton Narkle and Corowa-Rutherglen forward Kaelan Bradtke push to be listed at Punt Road.
“We have got until February 15 so it’s a really tough decision,” Livingstone said.
“Both Quinton Narkle and Kaelan Bradtke have been impressive with their work ethic and character, so we can choose one or choose to hold. We are comparing a key with a mid and there is a bit of match sim coming up so we can make a decision when we get closer.”

Tigers star close to full fitness, defender back with main group
By Josh Gabelich
afl.com.au
6 January 2023
REIGNING Jack Dyer medallist Tom Lynch is nearing a return to full fitness after undergoing foot surgery just before Christmas, while star defender Nick Vlastuin has recovered from cracked ribs.
Lynch underwent an operation in December to deal with a plantar fasciitis issue that lingered late last season.
The 30-year-old has trained away from the main group across the pre-season so far, but has completed a comprehensive running program to keep him on track for round one.
Richmond has opted to take an ultra-conservative approach with the 2016 All-Australian – who won his third club best and fairest last year, after finishing second in the Coleman Medal – but is preparing for Lynch to transition back into the main group over the next fortnight.
The Tigers are confident Lynch will be able to bank some minutes in an unofficial match simulation against North Melbourne on February 24, ahead of the second and final tune-up against Melbourne on March 4.
While Lynch was confined to the rehab group at Punt Road on Monday, star midfielder Dion Prestia and co-captain Dylan Grimes joined him, with the club taking a careful approach with the important pair – who copped untimely injuries last year – coming off the Tigers' three-day camp in Apollo Bay last week.
The Tigers have managed Grimes' workload early in the new year after the defender underwent surgery at the start of August to repair the hamstring tendon he damaged against Brisbane in round 20.
Despite missing four games and being substituted out of four others in 2022 due to soft tissue injuries and concussion, Prestia still finished third in the Jack Dyer Medal to highlight how important he was for Damien Hardwick's side last year. After playing only nine games in 2020 and 2021, Richmond is hoping the former Sun can have better luck with his body in 2023.
Vlastuin has returned to the main group after being on a modified program across the second half of January, following a hit at training.
The 28-year-old wasn't restricted in his running across the past few weeks, but returned in match sim last week ahead of the camp.
Midfielder Jack Graham also remains on track to be available for Richmond's season-opener against Carlton on March 16.
The 24-year-old, who turned his back on the opportunity to move back to South Australia during last October's Trade Period, ran alongside Lynch on Monday as he continues to work his way back from toe surgery.
Graham underwent surgery in November after the issue didn't settle down with rest during the off-season, but the club is confident he will be available to play in the pre-season matches.
Young gun Josh Gibcus could be available inside the first month of the season after the 19-year-old required hamstring surgery in January following an injury at training.
Marquee signings Tim Taranto and Jacob Hopper have completed almost the full pre-season program under new high performance boss Luke Meehan.
The former Greater Western Sydney midfielders were both limited by injuries in 2022, but have made strong impressions across December and January at the Swinburne Centre.

Balta bumps and sends Hardwick flying ...
Watch here: https://twitter.com/Richmond_FC/status/1622418500907065344

The MRO would class that as deliberate high contact, plus the compulsory Richmond penalty = 4 weeks!
Marlion would get 12 weeks for that ... ::)

Match Sim today, any reports people?
I was planning to go but sad circumstances took precedence :'(.
My 'Spy' who I watch training with when I go said Nank and Hopper didn't play in the match sim. Neither did those obviously injured (Gibcus, Smith) or in the rehab group (Lynch, Prestia, Graham, Grimes, Banks, Sonsie and Colina).
-
Ooofff that injury list seems to get bigger by the day. Hopefully they can all join in on match sim in the next couple of weeks.

Tigers tune up in match simulation
By Grace Kalac
Richmond Media
11 February 2023
Richmond continued to sharpen up its 2023 preparations with a match simulation at the Swinburne Centre on Saturday morning.
In the Tigers' biggest hit-out of the pre-season so far, the group played out four 15-minute quarters in the Melbourne heat, with four minute breaks in between each term.
Split into two sides, a 'Yellow' team and a 'Red' team, it was an intense and evenly-matched competitive clash at Tigerland.
Jack Riewoldt kicked four goals, the veteran forward showing his class as he approaches his 17th AFL season.
Exciting younger Judson Clarke showcased his finishing ability by getting on the end of three goals, while fellow Tiger Cub Jacob Bauer slotted two.
Dustin Martin was fit and firing, the superstar Tiger busy up forward as he booted two majors.
Recruits Tim Taranto and Jacob Hopper were composed through the midfield and found plenty of the ball, as they continue to build excitement ahead of their first seasons in the Yellow and Black.
Daniel Rioli was dynamic in defence, while his uncle Maurice Rioli was lively up forward and hit the scoreboard.
Veteran Tiger Trent Cotchin was an important contributor throughout the hit-out. Along the wing, Marlion Pickett worked hard and was influential.
Liam Baker was reliable as always in the Tigers' backline, while electrifying midfielder/forward Shai Bolton produced plenty of exciting moments.

You know this means we expect a training report from your good self, WP ;D.
LOL
My main focus was watching the newbies, younger guys, Narkle and Bradtke and our game plan and style
I was impressed with Hopper and Taranto
Have to say Bauer with a proper pre-seaon and more time in our program has improved markedly
-
WP did you notice any change in our game plan?
-
The match sim teams based on the photos:
Reds:
Bradtke, Bolton, Castagna, Clarke, Cotchin, Dow, Martin, McIntosh, Miller, Nankervis, Narkle, Nyuon, Pickett, Riewoldt, M.Rioli, Ross
VFL-listed: Teal, Johnson, McDonagh, Street.
Yellows:
Baker, Balta, Brown, Cumberland, Green, Hopper, Mansell, Ralphsmith, D.Rioli, Ryan, Short, Soldo, Taranto, Tarrant, Vlastuin, Young.
VFL-listed: Cooper, Faimalo, Trezise, White
A couple of players switched sides by the look of it.
-
Yes in the 3rd and 4th quarters some players changed sides
Ryan replaced Nank at the start of the 3rd
WP did you notice any change in our game plan?
Not really. Although pressure at stoppages has stepped up, that was clear
Have to say I was very impressed with Miller. Clear his role is going to be 2nd ruck. He consistently beat Soldo at hitouts and around the ground
-
Oh and I liked Bradtke. He fills a clear need and yes although he didn't clunk the marks his willingness to make a contest and bring the ball to ground was first rate
-

Thanks WP. First time I've actually heard anything about him tbh
-
Thanks WP
Did you get a feel of who our back 6 might be and any change there with set ups now that Rutten is in charge
-
Thanks WP
Did you get a feel of who our back 6 might be and any change there with set ups now that Rutten is in charge
I think they stacked the yellow team with our best backs and it worked well. So horses for courses I reckon.
I was surprised young Brown played mainly off HB, not sold myself
A bit to like about our newbie Young, didn't look out of place at all.
-
Thanks WP hopefully it's Bradtke been good reports about him do you know how his marking and kicking are in general ?.

AFL pre-season news: Jason Castagna hurt at Richmond training as forwards push for spot
An injury has come at the worst possible time for an out-of-favour Tiger. And as he awaits his diagnosis, others are impressing. Latest notes and news from Punt Road.
Jon Ralph
HeraldSun
February 12, 2023 - 4:28PM
Richmond Jason Castagna will be desperately hoping his hamstring injury doesn’t hamper his round 1 selection chances as he attempts to re-establish himself as a premier small forward in a contract year.
Free agent Castagna suffered hamstring damage in Richmond’s match simulation hitout on Saturday but the club will only know the extent of the injury by Monday.
After playing at least 21 games in all five seasons from 2017-2021, the three-time premiership player fell out of favour after a lean start to the 2022 season.
The busy pressuring forward was dropped after only 10 goals to round 11 and while he returned in round 16 he kicked only two goals in his final five games of the season across two separate stints.
Castagna, 26, is yet to enter contract talks with Richmond despite his free agency status but a player who kicked 26.20 and 27.28 in premiership seasons would have value when at the peak of his game.
At Richmond this year Maurice Rioli, Noah Cumberland and Judson Clark will all be vying for that small forward role alongside stars Dustin Martin and Shai Bolton.
Martin and Bolton were in sparkling form in Saturday’s clash in a intraclub in which Jack Riewoldt kicked four goals, Clark three and last year’s mid-season selection Jacob Bauer kicked two goals as a 192cm forward.
Triple premiership captain Trent Cotchin will also spend some time forward this year in a midfield that seems stacked for options.
It means Castagna will need to be at the top of his game to play the kind of onfield role that maximises his contract worth.
Richmond will conduct another more intense match simulation hitout next week ahead of an official match simulation against North Melbourne on February 24 and an official practice match against Melbourne on March 4.
Star pair Tom Lynch (plantar fascia) and Jack Graham (turf toe) are still on track to play some minutes in those clashes.
Fellow Richmond free agent Nathan Broad was rested for Saturday’s match simulation but will be fit for those clashes.

New injuries:
Castagna did a hammy.
Broad also has twinged a hammy (on Thursday).
Cumberland got nailed in a tackle. Ice on ankle after.
:-\
'Spy' said Grimes is out of rehab and did full training today. Prestia did most of it as well.
However, add Bauer to the above injury list. He's in a moon boot.
ps. Match sim will be Saturday morning for the open training session.

I just wonder did we take a shortcut giving the job of head of fitness to someone within and not headhunted someone surely there was money to.
-
Meanwhile at Richmond, a premiership defender has joined the growing injury list with a hamstring complaint. #7AFL #7NEWS
Go to 0:35 min mark: https://twitter.com/7NewsMelbourne/status/1626129133351608321
Broad - has a hammy complaint but the Tigers are confident he'll be right for round 1.
Soldo and Cumberland also in the rehab group after their scans on Monday.
Lynch - slowly building his fitness after foot surgery over the offseason.
-
ps. Match sim will be Saturday morning for the open training session.
9news last night confirmed there will be an intra-club tomorrow [Saturday] morning at Punt Rd.
-
Lynch and Prestia with the main group. Currently doing their warm up.
Smith is still in a moonboot.
Gibcus said he doesn't know when he will be back playing. Long while to go yet.
Castagna walking laps with a trainer.
Broad and Colina running laps. So Broady's hammy must not be too bad.
-
Great reporting, keep it going please!
-
Soldo and Campbell also in rehab group.
Main squad just did handball and kick circle work. Smalls did contested ball drills while talls did contested marking inthe goalsquare
Cumberland running laps.
Sonsie must be on a modified program as he came over to rehab. Also Lynch and Graham. All not playing in the intra club.
-
Bauer still in a moonboot too.
-
Bauer still in a moonboot too.
Interesting, Bauer played last weeks intra-club game :huh
-
Not match sim yet. Doing full ground two team contested transition drill. Dusty just outbodied Biggie in the marking contest at chf and in a flash handed off to a runner to set up a goal. But the media are still questioning if Dusty has the will to play ::).
-
Bauer still in a moonboot too.
Interesting, Bauer played last weeks intra-club game :huh
Hurt midweek according to my 'Spy'. Thursday training was in a moonboot.
-
Forward entry drills at the moment.
Now stoppages into transition. Cumberland back training with the main group.
Sonsie, Graham and Lynch doing some ground ball contested work with the trainers. Plus some kick to kick with Soldo. Now they are doing shuttle runs along the boundary. I still don't know why Sonsie is in rehab but the trainer has told him a couple of times to just take time. Sonatas on the ground earlier doing right leg lifts.
-
Bauer still in a moonboot too.
Interesting, Bauer played last weeks intra-club game :huh
Hurt midweek according to my 'Spy'. Thursday training was in a moonboot.
Wasn’t in the injury list released on the clubs website a few days ago. Not surprising though, their injury reporting has been lacklustre all summer.
-
Dusty the new Royce. Dominated that drill across CHF.
-
This is going to be a long session. Still a number of drills to do according to the scoreboard.
Full ground kick 6mins
Baker hands into Baker kick 6 mins
Stoppage - D50 & F50 into re-entry 12mins
Grimes not doing the full ground kick drill. Running along the boundary.
Nank, Ryan & Miller doing ruck duels.
-
Prestia not doing the Baker hands/contested ball drill. Running g laps instead at a frede decent click.
Speaking of Baker, haven't seen him today :huh. There's a ring-in running around in a #7 top.

Tough Tiger in R1 fitness battle after appendix surgery
Liam Baker was one of several Richmond premiership stars to sit out the intraclub match on Saturday
By AAP
18 February 2023
RICHMOND tough nut Liam Baker is in a race to be fit for next month's season-opener against Carlton after having surgery to remove his appendix.
Baker was one of several premiership stars who sat out the Tigers' training session on Saturday, watching from the sidelines at Punt Road Oval.
Tom Lynch (foot), Jack Graham (toe) and Ivan Soldo (back soreness) were all kept out of the action, as was young defender Josh Gibcus (hamstring).
Defender Nathan Broad and small forward Jason Castagna were limited to running drills as they recover from hamstring issues.
Baker is expected to resume light duties next week and will miss Friday's match simulation against North Melbourne.
But the 25-year-old could be ready to take on Melbourne in the Tigers' final practice match on March 4, before the MCG showdown with arch-rivals Carlton on March 16.
"(Baker) woke up feeling pretty sore in the stomach over the weekend and had it investigated and unfortunately he had to have his appendix out," Richmond assistant coach Xavier Clarke told reporters on Saturday.
"But Bakes is pretty tough and he's going to be ready for round one, there's no doubt.
"We've all seen the way he plays. If he had his way, he'd probably be out there training (now).
"But he'll rest up and he'll be fine in the coming weeks."
Lynch won Richmond's best and fairest award last season and topped the club's goalkicking for the second time.
The 30-year-old spearhead is on track to face the Blues in round one but may not be fit to play any practice matches in the build-up.
"He's getting back gradually into training," Clarke said.
"Last week he started drip-feeding into some of our drills and again today.
"He should be fully into training next week, so he'll be available for round one."

We didn't have an intra-club today. So, ignore that bit in the above article.
The first few minutes of training were sloppy but once we got going it was an excellent session. It went for about 2.5 hours. Today seemed focused on the various pieces of our gameplan. We're known for our transitional game so nothing new there, but we did a heap of contested/stoppage work around the ground too.
Dusty is absolutely flying. The only thing that looks like stopping him would be injury (touchwood that doesn't happen). For the full ground contested transition drill, Dusty was playing high forward and virtually every forward entry went through him. He was unstoppable. In one of the inside 50 drills he gave Tarrant a "dont' argue" and swatted Robbie away like he was a little leaguer before nailing the goal with the outside of his right foot.
Speaking of forward of centre, it looks like we'll throw the magnets around rotating a whole bunch of mids in and out of our F50. Obviously, Cotch has been mentioned but even Pickett seemed to spend time in a forward role for the stoppage and transition drill.
Hopper and Taranto are going to make a huge difference to us this year. Liked Hopper's contested ball work today. There's a lot of talk about Dusty and Bolton being able to play both midfield and forward but we should be adding Taranto to that list.
Both Riolis trained well. Daniel's workrate nowdays is impressive. Maurice is going to scare a few opposition defenders and rebounders this year with his chasing and harrassing.
Miller is clear #2 ruck. Hard to see him not in our round 1 team. Most of the ruck contests today in the around the ground stoppage drills were between Nank and Ben.
Of the lesser likes, I thought Dow was pretty good today. His kicking can be hit and miss but today he fairly clean. Highlight was winning a loose hard ball in the F50 before dishing off to Pickett who goaled.
Tylar Young keeps impressing. Seems to read the play well. A couple of good intercepts and spoils.
ps. Dimma was umpiring during a couple of the full ground drills and must have had DeBoy's rule book. Some harsh dubious calls. For example, Bradtke took what looked like a decent well-judged contested mark from behind but Dimma yelled out "push in the back". Probably getting us mentally prepared for the usual crap treatment we cop from the real umps :P.

Richmond intra-club: Liam Baker watches from sidelines after surgery, Tim Taranto, Jacob Hopper, Kaelan Bradtke
Herald Sun
18 February 2023
Richmond hit the track for their intra-club today in beautiful sunny conditions at Punt Road. While a few faces were missing, there were still plenty of stars on show to excite the Tiger army.
TERRIFIC TARANTO
Richmond ranked a lowly 15th in clearance differential last year, but the additions of Tim Taranto and Jacob Hopper through the trade period are sure to help turn those numbers around.
Taranto was seemingly everywhere during some match simulation at training on Saturday, finding plenty of ball through the midfield and using it well when he did win it.
The former Greater Western Sydney gun runs hard and continually gets to the right places to impact the contest.
Taranto was played as a forward at times during his six seasons with the Giants and has shown he is able to hit the scoreboard, but the Tigers seem set on using him as a permanent midfielder this season.
Having been carefully managed over the off-season, fellow former Giant Hopper was also in the thick of the action through the midfield on Saturday.
“They’re elite players and they’re only going to help us around the stoppage and contest,” assistant coach Xavier Clarke said.
“They’ve been terrific.”
THE NEW ‘KB’
Excitement is growing around Kaelan Bradtke, just days after he was signed on to fill Richmond’s final list spot through the AFL’s Supplemental Selection Period.
Plucked from Corowa-Rutherglen in the Ovens and Murray Football League, the 195cm forward is quickly making his mark at Punt Rd.
A solid body, Bradtke created a contest and crashed some packs at training on Saturday, while his running ability also caught the eye.
“It’s a great story and it’s a credit to him,” Clarke said.
“He’s a self-driver, he’s always in the offices watching vision and trying to improve.
“If he continues to improve, anything can happen, really.”
DUSTY PRIMED
Brownlow Medal winner Dustin Martin was looking as sharp as ever as he took lead-up marks, wove between opponents and snapped goals at training on Saturday.
Martin again played forward during match simulation, in a first-choice attacking end that also included Jack Riewoldt, Ben Miller, Shai Bolton, Maurice Rioli Jnr and Trent Cotchin.
After playing just nine games due to injury and personal reasons last year, Martin has been one of the standouts on the training track across summer.
“He hasn’t missed a session this whole pre-season,” Clarke said.
“So he’s been looking as dynamic as he’s ever been and he’s been training really well.”
STAY TUNED
A rookie selection in last year’s draft has been catching the attention of his coaches after a “really impressive” summer.
Tylar Young played 14 games for Richmond’s VFL side last year, before the 196cm key defender won a spot on the AFL list after being snapped up at pick 26 in the rookie draft.
With fellow key defender Josh Gibcus sidelined with a hamstring injury for the early part of the season, Young could find himself in the frame to earn an early senior opportunity in assistant coach Ben Rutten’s backline.
“He’s shown some great things in training so if he continues to go on the path he’s going, he probably will play senior footy at some point throughout this year,” Clarke said of Young.
“Truck’s got a bit of a headache to select his best side down there.”
Noah Balta is poised to play a more permanent role in defender this year after being used as a forward at times last season, while veterans Robbie Tarrant and Dylan Grimes are training well and will remain mainstays down back.
STAR TIGER SITS OUT INTRA-CLUB AFTER SURGERY
Richmond utility Liam Baker will be racing the clock to be fit for the Tigers’ season opener against Carlton after having surgery to remove his appendix this week.
Baker watched on from a seat in the grandstand as his teammates were put through their paces at training on Saturday morning, just 26 days out from Round 1.
However, the 25-year-old tough nut is expected to resume light training duties next week.
“He woke up feeling pretty sore in the stomach over the weekend and had it investigated and unfortunately he had to have his appendix out,” Richmond assistant coach Xavier Clarke said.
“But Bakes is pretty tough and he’s going to be ready for Round 1, there’s no doubt. We’ve all seen the way he plays. If he had his way he’d probably be out there training (on Saturday). But he’ll rest up and he’ll be fine in the coming weeks.”
The Tigers expect Baker to miss next week’s practice match against North Melbourne, but he could still play some game time in their official pre-season hitout against Melbourne the following week.
Forward Jason Castagna and defender Nathan Broad were both restricted to running duties on Saturday as they recover from recent hamstring complaints but are expected to be available for Round 1.
Key forward Tom Lynch (foot) also remains on track to face off against the Blues despite again sitting out match simulation in favour of some running drills.
“He’s getting back gradually into training,” Clarke said of Lynch.
“Last week he started drip-feeding into some of our drills and again today. He should be fully into training next week so he’ll be available for Round 1. Does he play some of our scratch matches? We’re not sure yet. We’ll work with our medical team and see what that looks like in terms of a load for him.”
Tigers midfielder Jack Graham (toe), ruckman Ivan Soldo (back soreness) and defender Josh Gibcus (hamstring) were others to sit out match simulation.

My 1st crack a training report so here are some takeways from today. it was a drills based session as opposed to a full on match sim, which as above was good to see what we are working on specifically & is IMO better than having a match where "probables" smash the "possibles" by 10+ goals.
Rehab - Colina, Broad (who looked like a midget while doing laps alongside Colina) Laps for all consisted of jogging & sprinting between cones from what i could tell. Bauer was in a moon boot as is Smith, Gibcus & George were the only 2 who didn't do any running at all as well as the guys in moon boots (Smith & Bauer). Lynch & Sonz did the warmup with the main group but were on light duties thereafter with Graham & Soldo, they were doing sprints etc so looks more a management thing than anything else. I got the scoop from Sonz himself, he's got a hip flexor strain but said he's not too far away & looked to be moving well. Campbell also in rehab but was doing a lot of running so it can't be a major issue keeping him out. Lynch/Graham/Sonsie, for 1 drill were doing 50m kicks to top of the sqr for the the tall fwds Jack/Mill/Bradt to fist ball to the ground for the crumbers to do their thing.
Grimes & Prestia did around half the session with the main group then did laps thereafter so i'd say they are both easing back in & i got no idea if they'd play next week or not but being conservative i'd guess the Dees game would be the go for those 2.
Dusty - deserves his own section, a few sublime kicks, he'll prove a few haters wrong this yr just based on how he went today. with F50 entries he was often used as the player that kicks inside 50 & we all know what a weapon he can be in that role. Gave Tarrant a "don't argue", on another occasion he did a spin turn out of traffic inside 50 & gave off for a team mate for a goal. During a D50 to F50 drill which went for a goal as it went through Dusty had his own ball & kicked that through.
Stoppages - as mentioned above a heavy focus on around the ground stoppages for D50 & F50 into re-entry scenarios, at one stage here D.Rioli took an uncontested intercept mark about 70-80 from goal with Banks nearest to him, Dimma yelled "free kick to Banks for too high". Not sure if Dimma is angling for a gig an as ump post Coaching but he's just as good at pulling free kicks from you know where as the umps are themselves. he did pay a free to a Richmond player tho so they won't look at him but it was also against a Richmond player for nothing so who knows.
K.Bradtke - took a brilliant contested mark 1v1. Bodywork was sublime so i can see why he's been picked up, he has a lot to work with.
Also a shoutout to Biggie who took a few intercept marks & spoils, incl a contest where dusty had his man covered in a 1v1 & Biggie came in 3rd man up & smashed the ball over the line.
That's main takeaways, not doing full on match sim does make sense given it's a 6 day break till the Norf game.

Thanks to you as well Jonesy.
Can't help but get excited!

Love your work fellas :cheers
-
Awesome report, JR :cheers.
I got the scoop from Sonz himself, he's got a hip flexor strain but said he's not too far away & looked to be moving well.
Great scoop on Sonz too :clapping. Thanks for that. Good to hear he's not too far away :thumbsup.

This site has the best training reports hands down!

Who's flying
Star recruit Tim Taranto had a tough 2022 season with Greater Western Sydney, missing five rounds with a back issue and two with concussion. But he's had a full pre-season and has been flying on the track, winning both the pre- and post-Christmas 2km time trials. Daniel Rioli made the All-Australian squad of 44 last year and has looked particularly sharp, while 20-year-old mid-season rookie Jacob Bauer – who should be next in line if Jack Riewoldt or Tom Lynch are injured – has impressed.
Well, this is new
What's old is new again at Richmond, with highly rated former backline coach Ben Rutten returning to the club after a stint as Essendon's senior coach. He's the second ex-head coach in Damien Hardwick's ranks, with David Teague coming into his second season at the Tigers. The inclusion of former GWS pair Jacob Hopper and Taranto has led Trent Cotchin to spend more time in attack, rotating through the middle where required. Developing young forward Kaelan Bradtke has won plenty of admirers over summer, earning Richmond's SSP spot.
And another thing…
The benefit of having two former senior coaches on staff came to the fore in the pre-Christmas training block, with Rutten and Teague taking charge while Damien Hardwick spent time in the US with the Dallas Mavericks (NBA) and Detroit Lions (NFL). On a decidedly lighter front, midfielder Jack Ross has slowly been developing a fresh look over summer, moving from a tight crop to longer curls. – Sarah Black

Lynch and Baker trained fully.
No physical signs on Balta's face of the altercation.
Graham still in doubt for round 1 although he apparently trained fully as well.
Hopper managed. Ch 7 shows him walking laps. Ch 9 showed him involved in a kicking drill.
Sonsie trained fully too.

Some training vision on both 7 and 9 news tonight.

Short, Pickett and Bauer shown in the rehab group.
Tarrant shown training with the main group jumping up and down and doing handball drills but he's been ruled out for round 1 based on what Meehan said in the last injury update.
'Spy' says Graham, Ross, Sonsie and Cumberland all trained fully along with Prestia.
-
Surely not Ross. Thought he had ligament damage in his knee?
-
Surely not Ross. Thought he had ligament damage in his knee?
Just passing on what I heard, TK. Meehan was quite positive about Ross' recovery and prospects to train in his last injury update.
Jack Ross, knee
"Unfortunately, Jack hurt himself in the last session before the Melbourne game. Things have improved quite a lot since then and similar to Dion, we're hoping that he'll improve a lot and be able to train (in the main session) next Tuesday and be available, but (he's) probable at this stage."

Interesting. You’d think he’d be heavily considered for the wing spot with Pickett all but ruled out.
-
Training update:
Pickets, Short, Graham, Sonsie and Ross trained fully. So Marlion looks right to play Thursday night unless we want him to play a ressies game first.
Miller and Young were matched up on Lynch and Jack. So I'm guessing we're still deciding who to play as second key defender.
Soldo went off and inside 3/4ers of the way through. Not sure what's the issue.
Bradtke came over to the rehab group 2/3s the way through. Then rejoined the main group.
Tarrant did most of the session. Only stood out of it for the "Irish" chaos drill.
In rehab:
Colina
Smith
Campbell
Bauer
Gibcus

Bauer
Gibcus
Of those in rehab, Gibcus and Smith (minus the moonboot) just walked a couple of laps before going back inside. Campbell (he told us he's got a groin injury), Bauer and Colina ran laps, did some straight line runs and some short-range agility drills.
Clue website saying Soldo went off with a foot injury.
Brown was wearing a brace around his right wrist and lower arm. He participated in all the non-contact drills but stood out of the match sim stuff and came over to the rehab group.
Sonsie trained fully with no issue but his right knee was bandaged.
As for the main group, there was though one new drill called "Irish" which focused on handling multiple quick chaotic repeat entries into our defensive 50. Split into small (~7) opposing groups within a marked out circle, a trainer would throw, kick high or grubber the ball into the circle and the defending group had to gain and clear the footy. Once it was cleared, another ball would be similarly sent messily back into the circle (dirty ball!).
They also did a "Smart to fwds" drill. Seemed focused on 45 kicks, switching across the arc and lowering the eyes to find free targets inside F50.
As far as match ups between our forwards and backs in the match sim drills, they had our premiership stars on the lesser likes at each end. So at one end it was Young on Jack, Miller on Lynch and Biggie on Dusty while at the other Balta, Grimes, Floss, Broad, D.Rioli and Baker were matched up on Ryan and some of our VFL-listed players.

Just light training today but Dusty and Lynch completed the whole session.
No Hopper though.
Watch: https://twitter.com/7NewsMelbourne/status/1640259619393253376
-
No Hopper at training today and Dusty only ran laps on his own in the rain. So, you'd think both won't play on Friday night.
-
Based on that they both be out for a lengthy spell based on their injury history.
Bring in the VFL brigade at full fitness, we will be OK, still a lot of talent out there.

'Spy' says Prestia left the main training group and after speaking to the rehab trainers and doing some testing, he then went inside :-\. Graham, Cumberland and Campbell also spent time with the rehab group but perhaps just midweek management. Injured foursome - Gibcus, Short, Soldo & Smith - also in rehab.

'Spy' says Prestia is fine [phew!], as are Graham and Cumberland. Dusty and Hopper trained fully. Campbell though was still in rehab (groin issue again? :( ) and Dow left the track early.

Lynch, Nank, Hopper & Graham for the most part just walked around at Captains Run today.
Lynch and Graham got involved a bit more leading, marking etc and shots on goal.
Hopper and Nank really did nothing besides handball as players came through a line of a drill.
Hopper then did some handball and short kicking with Taranto at the end, believe he got through the main session so just being managed.
If there was doubt on anyone it would be him.
-
Great report, TFL :cheers.
It seems, as part of their management, a few senior players are just doing the one main session per week.

OPEN TRAINING tomorrow morning:
Swinburne Centre
Friday, May 19
Entry via Gate 1 at 10:00am
Training from approximately 10:30am
- Roar Store will be open from 9:00am for all your Dreamtime at the 'G gear
- Meet’n’greet with Stripes & Sash
- Short autograph session with some of the players after training
Most players participating will be available post training for a short signing session. Given the high number of fans expected to attend this session, there is a chance that not everyone will gain autographs or photos with players. We ask our fans to enjoy the atmosphere and respect the players need for proper recovery post training.
Entrance to training at the Swinburne Centre, Punt Road Oval is via Gate 1 next to the Roar Store. We encourage fans to use public transport as there will be no car parking facilities at Punt Road Oval.

Ralphsmith will not be any sort of a fotballer until he gets rid of his ridiculous hair.
Fair enough when your 18 trying to get noticed but your 20-21 mate.

sensational morning. well done RFC. All players (except dusty who did a runner and bolton who must think he is dusty) were available for a chat and anything else for all the kids that were there which wasn't many.
D.Rioli didnt do much and i did see a slight limp but he def said he was playing so who knows.

Yze said main preseason training starts on Nov 13.

Spotted Dusty training this morning with a group of about 8 players and Gibcus was walking laps around the oval. Dusty for skipper.

Yze said main preseason training starts on Nov 13.
Tomorrow is the official start of our preseason with our 1st to 4th years back.

Time trial results according to BF poster:
#1 Ralphsmith
#2 Campbell
#3 Green
#4 Cumberland
#5 Colina (another poster reckoned 4th, didn't mention other place getters) :o
Maurice Rolypoly way back..... :shh
-
Good to see Cumberland up there. Who needs drafts picks when there are players already on our list that can make an immediate difference by turning up ready to go at day 1 of pre season

Was Colina even actually there? Can't even remember what he looks like but didn't notice any 7 footers out there -would stand out even just in the background....hard to believe a bloke his size would finish top 5 ...amazing if true though still means stuff all if he can't actually play footy... :huh
Best news is Gibcus getting through it.... :shh
-
i've seen some snaps of Colina so he was definitely there at least.

Just saw them...and apparently he really did come 5th.... :shh

Watched about 20 mins. Less concerned about Maurice, He looks better than last year. Quite impressed with Mate. He has got leaner and can move. There was a clear focus in the transition drill to get into the corridor. The patterns and switches that they were working and getting the players to work on was interesting. Also interesting was the focus on skills as a missed kick was an immediate turnover.

Richmond has adopted a radical new approach to pre-season training in a bid, under new coach Adem Yze, to get the edge on the opposition.
The Tigers have brought a heat chamber into Punt Road and modified the oval. @xandermcg9 #9News

Very early days but positive early signs of change given the focus seems to be about improving our ball use and decision making, especially by foot, as well as our fitness. Just need to hear we're also focusing on doing the defensive basics well and Yze will be ticking all the right boxes so far.
ps. Spending plenty of time in the heat chamber will be useful given we'll be playing round 1 in the middle of the day in the heat and humidity of Qld in March (thanks AFL :P :thumbsdown )

Hope there was also some focus on tackling and tackling techniques... :shh

Not sure it’s catch up as all players have individual programs. The extra running might well be part of future midfield minutes- part of the plan :shh

Remember he did his hamstring in rd 24 or whatever it was so was probably 3 or 4 weeks behind

True. That was his second hammy for the year.
Anyway, I'm only passing on what I've been told. 'Spy' says Maurice didn't return to preseason training in the shape he promised he would. So, for whatever reason, it's now catch-up time and he's doing mostly running.
-
It's clear he wasnt in good nick. We all saw the photos.
No need for anyone to spin it.

Track watch: Scouting report from Tigers training
Josh Gibcus was joined for a short time away from the main group by draftees Kane McAuliffe and Liam Fawcett, who both flew in from South Australia on Thursday night.
Marlion Pickett again joined the young Tigers on track, alongside star defender Nick Vlastuin and Jack Ross jogged some laps.
Superstar Dustin Martin was not at training but has been a regular in the past two weeks despite not being officially required back until Monday.
Midfielder Thomson Dow’s work through a ball movement drill was described as “awesome” by new coach Adem Yze, while Hugo Ralphsmith and Judson Clarke moved well.
Clarke left the track early after a collision feeling for his left shoulder but was able to put his arm above his head and while sore, appeared to be fine.
He missed the end of last season with a cracked scapula.
Sam Banks also limped off the track with a lower right leg injury.
Maurice Rioli moved strongly on track and powered through some laps, while Tyler Sonsie has had a bright start to the pre-season.
Big man Mate Colina, who had his 2023 wiped out by a back injury, moved well and showed the athleticism that saw him finish high in the club’s 2km time trial despite standing at 211cm tall.
A set shot at goal showed Colina still has some rough edges to iron out.

Don't think any draftee is going to be top 5

Who exactly did we draft recently mainly for their aerobic capacity though? Either way it's highly unlikely they're going to beat blokes who've been playing AFL for the best part of a decade unless they're some kind of freaks.......:shh

Highly unlikely as they won't have the same endurance base behind them as the older guys do. In all honesty i'd be concerned if draftees topped the time trials.

Martin was one of the most impressive on the track on Wednesday, and looks fit and ready to tackle next season, off the back of a strong 2023 season.
He seems certain to keep a similar forward-mid split next season.
Among the other young Tigers who have impressed so far in the early stages of preseason include Tyler Sonsie and Thomson Dow.

Tigers in Inverloch: Day 1
Richmond's pre-season camp is well and truly underway!
Day one begun at Punt Road Oval at 10.30am as mini buses full of Tigers departed Punt Road Oval and headed towards the Bass Coast Shire to their destination of Inverloch.
A quick stop at a country bakery for a pie, a must for any road-trip, and the team had arrived at Inverloch-Kongwak FC Oval for their opening session of the camp.
Each line group was tasked with bringing a mascot to camp which they felt represented them. The backs chose a mascot head of much-loved ruck coach Ivan Maric.
Various drills and games out on the track brought out the inner-competitiveness in everyone, particularly Jayden Short.
The team loved to see Inverloch Richmond fans who had come down to say hello, as well as former Tigers player and Inverloch local Allister Scott.
We look forward to seeing more of the Tiger Army at Wednesday's main training session at Wonthaggi Football Club.
Once training had wrapped up, it was time for a session at local gym TomFIT. With 100 days remaining until Richmond's Round 1 clash with Carlton, the theme for the session was '100s', and exercises were done in repetitions of one hundred.
Next, the group checked into their home base for the next three nights, RACV Inverloch Resort. They were welcomed to Boonwurrung Country by Traditional Owner Steven Ulula Parker from Millowl Dreaming.
Millowl Dreaming connects people with the traditional knowledge and Culture of the Boonwurrung people of Millowl (Phillip Island, Victoria, Australia) through the art, education and experiences offered by Parker.
As the sun set on the water, the team refuelled at dinner and enjoyed a fun-filled trivia night, testing their knowledge of Australian sport, music and general knowledge.
Unsurprisingly, trivia was won by the backs, with new assistant coach Jack Ziebell joking that the forwards, who came in last, were more suited to the instinctive games.
Time for a big sleep, the hard work continues on Wednesday!

Richmond Tigers a big hit at Wonthaggi training camp
Michael Giles
Sentinel-Times (covering South Gippsland & Bass Coast)
Dec 06 2023
IN THE ultimate early Christmas present for Richmond Tigers fans in Bass Coast and South Gippsland, the whole playing group turned out at a full-contact training camp at Wonthaggi on Wednesday this week.
And didn’t the fans, young and old love it.
CEO of the Richmond Football Club Brendan Gale was full of praise for the way the Wonthaggi Football Netball Club and the local shire, the Bass Coast Shire Council had presented the ground.
“The oval is outstanding. As good as you’d find anywhere. You could putt on this surface,” said Brendan Gale.
“It’s the ideal place to have a training camp. You’ve got the beach right here and a fantastic oval to train on. We’re just delighted to be here and it’s great yeah.
“And great to see such a big crowd of supporters and all the kids. Aren’t they supposed to be in school today,” he said with a laugh.
“The club and the community have been very welcoming and it’s great to be able to get out here into the country and meet some of our regional fans,” he said.
New General Manager of the Wonthaggi FNC Brendan Knight was just as pleased, especially as Wonthaggi was hosting his own AFL club.
“Of course I’m a bit biased but it’s great to be hosting one of the big Melbourne clubs, Richmond, Collingwood, Carlton or Essendon,” said Brendan.
“We heard that they were coming a couple of weeks ago and I’m not surprised such a big crowd has come out.
“The ground is probably as good as it can be right now, with that bit of rain we had last week and the weather perfect today.
“We’ve had some terrific feedback from the Richmond officials. They couldn’t be happier with the ground, the gym and the other facilities.
Of course, our facilities do need to be upgraded, especially for women’s football. There’s are things that we’ll be working on in the coming year.
“But as disappointed as we were losing the grand final, we also see it as another step forward and that’s the way we have been approaching it with Jarryd over the past three years.
“As long as we keep improving and keep presenting we’ll get there,” he said.
A group of students from the Bass Coast Specialist School enjoyed a nice moment with the players during the session. Premiership hero Nick Vlastuin and some of his teammates noticed the group with their bus, parked on the scoreboard side of the oval and went across and chatted with them for 10 minutes, taking selfies and signing autographs.

Some Richmond training notes:
* Dustin Martin was the victim of a mild training accident when he split his lip and came from the ground, much to the disappointment of the young fans, many of them there to see the triple Norm Smith Medallist. It has also been reported that Dustin was taken to hospital as a precaution with bruised or suspected broken ribs.
* Josh Gibcus was on the sidelines still recovering from his bad hamstring injury but is expected to be part of Richmond’s transition under new coach Adem Yze.
* Daniel Rioli and Maurice Junior Rioli were among the stars who turned out on the day, with big Toby Nankervis, Ben Miller, Jacob Hopper, Noah Balter, Dion Prestia, Shai Bolton… they were all there.
* Tom Lynch looked to be on light duties as he returns from injury but took part in most drills.
The playing group were put through sessions of game play and group ball-handling sessions, stopping for regular drinks on what was sunny, occasionally cloudy day but with a nice breeze blowing across the ground.
The players regularly stopped for selfies and autographs with fans but it was a fully-fledged training day as part of a weeklong camp at Inverloch, Wonthaggi and Bass Coast.

Tigers in Inverloch: Day 2
By Richmond Media
7 December 2023
Two days down in Inverloch!
The second day of pre-season camp was a jam-packed one for the Tigers. Kicking off with breakfast and morning meetings at the team's home base of RACV Inverloch, it was time to head to Wonthaggi Football Club for the main training session of the week.
A big thank you to Wonthaggi Power for having us. Dion Prestia was especially impressed by the condition of the surface, remarking that the oval was "like carpet"!
The Bass Coast Tiger Army showed up in spades for the open training in the morning sun, where the team was put through their paces in a lengthy session, which included a match simulation drill.
The Tigers enjoyed a delivery of rolls from a local bakery for lunch, and then it was back to the accomodation for pool recovery.
The afternoon was spent down at the beach competing in line groups once again, rotating through three activities.
The first was a stand-up paddle boarding race, which brought much hilarity to the group as they put their balance to the test. Recruit Sam Naismith, who stands at 206cm, was particularly amusing as he struggled with his higher centre of gravity.
The second station was a classic game of beach cricket, bringing out the competitive nature of everyone as they navigated the bounce of the ball on the sand.
The third beach activity was a volleyball tournament, which also got heated quickly, with assistance from coach Adem Yze who had to step in and hold the battered net upright.
It was then time to head back to the accomodation for a culture session followed by dinner, an Italian feast complete with tiramisu, much to the delight of Prestia.
Dustin Martin rejoined the group at dinner time, after being cleared of concussion following a collision at training.
A massive final day of camp awaits on Thursday, stay tuned to find out what the team gets up to!

Tigers in Inverloch: Days 3 and 4
By Richmond Media
8 December 2023
That's a wrap on pre-season camp!
A huge final day awaited the team as buses departed the accomodation early on Thursday morning, not to return until late that afternoon.
The scenic Kilcunda beach was the destination for a gruelling three-hour morning session, which comprised of a 10-kilometre run, a 20-kilometre bike ride to Wonthaggi and back, and a demanding bootcamp session on the sand.
Line groups were up against each other once again for the three-part race, alternating through the challenges. Hard-running Tigers Nathan Broad and Hugo Ralphsmith both impressed during the 10-kilometre effort, which panned across the picturesque Kilcunda Bridge.
The players were then rewarded for their hard work with a Mexican fiesta in the sun, thanks to Lime & Co Cantina.
Once refuelled for the afternoon, the Tigers were off to one last activity for their camp, paintballing at Bass Coast Paintball.
It was then time to celebrate a week of dedication and teamwork at the Cape Paterson Surf Life Saving Club, with dinner on the balcony as the sun set on pre-season camp.
The live band kindly handed over their microphones as the group broke into karaoke, led by Tom Brown on the guitar.
Some of the most notable acts included the new players belting out 'Take Me Home Country Road', and new coaches Adem Yze, Chris Newman and Jack Ziebell trying their hand at 'Blister in the Sun'.
On Friday, the group packed up their belongings, ate their breakfast, and gathered at the pool as the winner of the Tony Mangan Award was announced, as decided by Richmond Coterie members who joined the group the camp, Cliff Gale, Chris Homutowsky and Brett Vorhauer.
Remarking on what was an incredibly tough decision, Tom Brown, Sam Naismith, Dylan Grimes, Tyler Young and Kaleb Smith were all given special mentions.
But, ultimately, Judson Clarke was chosen as the winner for his positive energy, inclusive nature, and for being the "happiest guy to have ever kicked a football".
After an action-packed week, the group farewelled the Bass Coast, reminiscing on a memorable, fun-filled trip. Back to Punt Road for regular programming!

RICHMOND injury list
Josh Gibcus – The Tigers say the star young defender is tracking nicely after heading to Qatar for specialist treatment on his hamstring in October. He remains on a modified training program until Christmas as Richmond takes a cautious approach, but has begun joining in some drills with the backline group at training.
Tom Lynch – Hopes are that the key forward will do enough over summer to be available for a first round return, but Lynch remains on a modified program after a year ruined by a foot injury. He will step up his training in the new year.
Jack Ross – The midfielder is slowly working his way back into full training, following post-season toe surgery.
Judson Clarke – The small forward is still not taking part in contact training, after suffering a cracked scapula during a VFL game in August. Clarke did not require surgery, but always faced a drawn-out healing process.

Hearing Maurice moved up to middle group & won the running drills at training today...
Coulthard hit Shai lace out with a low bullet pass between 3 defenders.

Hearing we have a huge emphasis on kicking at training, play stops over a missed kick & we start over again #GoTiges

Good!
-
Good!
Its about time, far too many missed targets i the last few seasons.
-
Hope he’s concentrating on a style of play and not trying to perfect lace out football
If we are going to hang our hats on lace out football then I fear the worst
-
If disposal is a priority of the new regime then half the list should be feeling preety nervous about their futures.... :shh
We still need to redress the post-20 drop off in tackling & pressure though.... :shh :shh
-
Couple of things that I’ve heard from the Tigers and their training.
- Sam Banks has participated in a lot of the inside midfield drills.
- Kane McAuliffe has been very impressive, especially with his kicking.
- Judson Clarke has made a sensational impression so far

I am pretty sure Yze mentioned this area in one of his initial pressers and so would assume it will be getting some focus
-

Would that include our current B&F winner? He was a king of just throwing it on the boot to get the ball out of congestion
And would a couple of our whipping boys be in good place as kicking is their strength?
And agree 100% about our pressure & tackling. Far too much left to too few the last couple of seasons
-
Good disposal is something we should strive for , for sure but it’s the icing on the cake .
Movement both of ball and player , pressure, tackling are more important I feel
Has Adem expanded on how he wants to play ?

- Possibly, though unlikely given the role he plays -what instructions Yze may give him (f.e. -feed it out by hand , play forward more where he 's shown he can hit the scoreboard )and the fact he generally more than makes up for his deficient field kicking in other areas whereas it can be argued most of the others that could find themselves in the gun based on the criteria don't... :shh
- In regards to one - not if defensive pressure & accountability are also priorities - in regards to another not if pace is also a priority (which Yze has already strongly alluded too...) :shh :shh
-
Can anyone confirm the story circulating that Coultard copped a bad injury at training today?
-
Looks like Luke the Ripper has stuck again.... :shh
-
Can anyone confirm the story circulating that Coultard copped a bad injury at training today?
Spy says Coulthard copped a leg injury as he landed. Couldn't carry his weight when he tried stand and move. Carried off by the trainers. Not sure exactly what's wrong at this stage. Touchwood hopefully not the worst.

Training Today Thursday :
People may want a detailed report but only have time for a brief summary and pre-season overall:
Coulthard: Straight line jogging only today so I think my diagnosis of a hammy was correct.
Shai: Seems to have bulked up a bit but has been absent from my reports as has not been a regular attendee and has not blitzed when he has been there but the class still shines through.
Dusty: Has missed the last week of training but in rare form prior.
Hopper & Prestia: Have not commented on them all pre-season as I didn't want to jinx them as the injury gods have not been kind, (but they haven't missed a beat and completed every session).
Marlion: Not there today but otherwise a great block of training from him.
Brown, Sonz and Cumberland: My biggest pluses to Christmas.
Kane McAuliffe: Moves very well and looks an exciting prospect.
Grimes: Am sorry to say is looking very old, I am not confident he can reverse his demise of last year.
Gibcus: Tracking better than i thought and my fingers & toes are crossed for him.
DRioli: Have hardly seen him at training and not there again today, he was in the training camp video but can't recall seeing him much more than that.
Bakes: Setting the training standard in Dusty's absence today.
Samson Ryan: A little bit bigger a little bit stronger, great skills for a big man, i still have high hopes but don't necessarily think he is going to explode onto the scene, (still might be baby steps?).
Balta: Has been training forward, is that for training structure or will he play there for real?
JNR: Missing a few targets again but moving better.
NaiSmith: Will be a good addition me thinks.
Kozi: I just don't know at this stage
Steely: I just can't see anything that says AFL.
Banks: Has looked good this pre but I am a fence sitter, I will be watching him for his progression in contested work.
A lot of running today, Shuttles, Camel runs, and lap relays, the star of the show and a surprise to all but me who has witnessed this phenomenon this pre, (Big Mate` Colina), this Giant can run but can he play footy?
Prestia, Graham and Seth Campbell were prominent in the killer Camels, (a type of shuttle but worse and longer).
Young & Clarke: Pretty much trained fully as there was very little contested stuff today.
No full match sim leading up to Christmas and not really much centre clearance work where one ruck was seriously going up against the other so no sense of who is dominant. The rucks have been doing a lot work in their own group this PRE though.
All gathered in a circle in the centre square for about 10 minutes to end the session culminating in raucous celebrations, laughter and shenanigans, showing great spirit as they head off for Christmas.
I will say it has been a different pre-season to the last couple, quicker ball movement, a bit more corridor and a bigger focus on kicking, (still won't make dud kicks good kicks). They are taking great care in managing players too, no one was being rushed before Christmas but I am hoping for a full New Year launch and finally see some match play.
Not sure my reports leave you with any presents to put under your Xmas trees ;) but have a great Christmas and New Year.
Cheers

Return from the Christmas break
"They're pros, they work really hard. We've still got a new coach (Adem Yze) buzzing around the place that everyone wants to impress. Everyone's come back in great shape."
Current training phase focus
"Obviously football. New coaches, new game plan and all those things, as much football as possible. We're still working on other physical aspects, but footy is definitely the focus. We play Melbourne in four-and-a-half weeks, and we'll be ready to go."

"Richmond Tigers track watch: Dustin Martin, Tom Lynch on light duties as pre-season training
Dustin Martin and Tom Lynch on track – albeit on light duties – was good news for Tigers fans as Richmond continues to ease their veterans through the pre-season.
Richmond star Dustin Martin has rejoined teammates on the training track but remains on light duties after rolling his ankle last week.
The 2017 Brownlow Medal winner had missed a light summer session in Beaconsfield on Tuesday, but was back on deck at Punt Rd on Wednesday morning.
Martin only took part in some basic handball drills with the rehab group, before jogging some laps for a large part of the session.
However, the Tigers expect him to be back in full training in coming days.
Key forward Tom Lynch still remains a little way off joining main training and was again limited to some light drills and jogging as he continues his recovery from a troublesome foot.
Teammate Jack Graham said on Tuesday that while it had “been tough” for Lynch – who did not play after round 4 last year – the spearhead was finally making some progress in his recovery.
Veterans Dion Prestia and Dylan Grimes were also on light duties on Wednesday as they are carefully managed through pre-season, as was captain Toby Nankervis who headed into the gym early as he completes an individual program.
Noah Cumberland and Jacob Bauer were also part of the rehab group, while ruck recruit Sam Naismith completed a mixed program.
BOL LEADING THE WAY
Australian track star Peter Bol was on hand to show Tigers players the way as they did some running at Punt Rd.
Bol was invited to training through a connection with a high performance staff member and will be doing some work with the rehab group going forward.
Bol led the way as the main group completed a lap of the oval to kick things off during their warm up, before going on to run some laps with players including Lynch.
A two-time Olympian for Australia, Bol was also a silver medallist in the 800m at the 2022 Commonwealth Games.
NO MORE WORRIES
While Lynch’s absence from the main group remains a concern, a trio of other senior players are back in the thick of it after interrupted pre-season campaigns.
Forward Shai Bolton and midfielder Jack Ross trained fully with the main group, while key defender Josh Gibcus also took part in almost all of the session.
Bolton had post-season ankle surgery and was on a restricted program before Christmas, but looked to be moving well as he zigged and zagged past opponents during drills.
Ross also had post-season surgery on his big toe but is quickly building his workloads back up, while Gibcus (hamstring) has been cautiously managed after an injury-ravaged 2023.
STILL PUSHING THEIR CASES
The Tigers are yet to make a decision around their final list spot, with two players continuing to train as part of the supplemental selection period (SSP).
Mitch Schofield and Mykelti Lefau were again on the track on Wednesday as they push their cases to earn a rookie spot ahead of the close of the SSP window on February 19.
Schofield, 22, bagged 30 goals in 19 WAFL games for East Perth last year as a 194cm forward.
Lefau, 25, has been part of Richmond’s VFL program and is a 195cm forward who can also pinch-hit in the ruck."

Richmond training notes, Nick Vlastuin injury, Noah Balta forward switch
Josh Barnes
HeraldSun
29 Jan 2024
Richmond defender Nick Vlastuin has become the latest player limited by concussion this pre-season, just weeks after recommendations to limit contact at AFL training.
Vlastuin has been in concussion protocols since copping a head knock on Wednesday and was on light duties at training on Monday.
He ran laps and kicked a ball with others in Richmond’s rehab group, including Tom Lynch(foot) and Dylan Grimes (calf).
Victorian coroner John Cain recommended in December that AFL clubs slash contact training sessions in a bid to protect players from concussions, as part of findings into the death of former Richmond midfielder Shane Tuck.
Cain’s recommendation was for clubs to reduce contact in time for the 2025 pre-season.
A number of players across the league have suffered concussions this pre-season, including Collingwood’s Josh Carmichael and Carlton defender Mitch McGovern.
Western Bulldog draftee Aiden O’Driscoll suffered a head clash on Friday and was concussed.
Lynch and Grimes moved well at Richmond training on Monday, with Dustin Martin (ankle) and Dion Prestia (management) stepping away from the main group as it moves into a full-ground stoppage drill.
Spearhead Lynch took part in some light tackling and kicked the ball to Grimes with ease.
Winger Jack Ross trained fully and looked in good nick after toe surgery limited him to start pre-season, while Josh Gibcus took part in the entire session.
Electric midfielder Shai Bolton came up limping after one contest but saw out the session.
A full-speed collision occurred during the session when Noah Cumberland dived to smother a Huge Ralphsmith kick and fell across Ralphsmith’s body, but the pair gingerly got up and carried on.
BALTA SWITCH
New Tigers coach Adem Yze’s interest in playing Noah Balta in attack appeared real on Monday, with the defender playing as a full-forward during the full-ground drill.
Balta opposed defender Tylar Young, while recruit Jacob Koschitzke played alongside, manned by Gibcus.
Both Gibcus and Koschitzke clunked contested marks during the drill, in which one side attacked out of a centre stoppage.
Balta has largely played his 85 AFL games at full-back but he has been swung forward on occasion, including kicking eight goals in his first three games of 2022.
While Lynch is hopeful of being on track to play in opening round against the Gold Coast, Balta may be Yze’s first back-up choice, given Gibcus has rounded into form as a key defender.
SUMMER SIGNING WATCH
Richmond’s train-on players Mykelti Lefau and Mitch Schofield both played as forwards at the opposite end to Balta, with Lefau taking a mark deep forward and setting up a goal.
The Tigers have one spot to fill before the summer signing deadline on February 19.
During a hot Melbourne morning, Richmond continued to train under a giant camel, placed on top of the team bench at Punt Road.
An Yze brainwave, the camel was installed late last week as a metaphor to inspire the Tigers through tough conditions in summer.

DAVID KING'S IMPRESSION OF A NUMBER OF YOUNG TIGERS AT PRE-SEASON TRAINING
SEN
2 Feb 2024
David King is still making his way around AFL club pre-season training, this time stopping by Punt Road.
Richmond would be one of the more fascinating teams in the competition given the ending of the Damien Hardwick era and Adem Yze’s first summer at the helm.
King was impressed with a few developing youngsters in the match simulation training.
“(Thomson) Dow brilliant handball from inside traffic to outside runners, generally #4 (Dustin Martin), who was awesome as per usual,” King tweeted.
“(Rhyann) Mansell should be a consistently (very) good AFL player, showed some brilliance around stoppage and charging (forward) into space. Hit the scoreboard.”
“James Trezise, something there at half back - started well in the main team.
“(Shai) Bolton, looked uninterested, but flexed for 10 minute patch of brilliance.
“(Steely) Green, I’m a fan. Could be in the (Liam) Baker mould.
“(Jacob) Hopper huge 2nd half - big year coming.
“(Josh Gibcus was) solid - kicking needs to flatten out a little bit.
“(Kane McAuliffe) Apparently BOG last week - looks good - love the left foot!”
King was a little more cautious on a trade period recruit: “(Jacob) Koschitzke … not sure. Can’t be dropping lace outers...”
On their game-plan:
“Appeared to be longer kicking, much less handball than other teams. Are they good enough by foot to play that way?” King added.
“All in all, as expected. Top line talent in good order, despite a few very good ones on the sidelines.”
King’s thoughts on the Tigers drew a cheeky reply from Kane Cornes:
“Bottom 4?” Cornes asked.
“I’ve missed you,” King replied.

AFL 2024: Tom Lynch, Dylan Grimes and Dion Prestia take big steps in return from injury at Richmond training
Richmond’s Opening Round clash against Gold Coast is less than a month away and three key Tigers took big steps in their return from injury on Saturday. Who will be ready?
HeraldSun
February 10, 2024 - 4:05PM
Key Tiger pair Tom Lynch and Dylan Grimes stepped into training on Saturday as midfielder Dion Prestia powered through a strong running session on his sore hamstring.
Goalkicker Lynch and defender Grimes have been largely kept to the Richmond rehab group over the past month of training, with Lynch on the return from foot surgery and Grimes dealing with a calf niggle.
But both joined teammates to start a session on Saturday, with Lynch showing no signs of discomfort as he ran and kicked with ease.
The spearhead stepped back to the side of training after 45 minutes, before joining in a high marking drill as training wound up.
Grimes stayed in with the main group the whole way and moved well as he hopes to prove his fitness before an opening round meeting with Gold Coast.
Lynch has been ruled out of Opening Round and said this week he would begin to slowly ease his way back into normal training as he aimed to play in round 1 against Carlton.
Fellow defender Nick Vlastuin was back into the swing of things are clearing concussion protocols.
A handful of Tigers were on light duties, with Tim Taranto, Jack Graham and Tylar Young among those taking it easy.
Diagnosed with a minor hamstring injury last week, Prestia pushed through resistance training and 200m runs at high speed.
The nuggety midfielder has been ruled out of February 18’s match simulation against Melbourne but could recover in time to face Collingwood on February 27, in the Charity Shield match.
While most Tigers were crisp with ball in hand on Saturday, young forward Liam Fawcett drew laughter when he missed a mark and copped a ball in the mouth.
A Tyler Sonsie set shot that faded to the right late in the session drew the ire of teammates, with the Tigers then forced into 20 push-ups.

Tiger to make long-awaited return, injured veterans to be managed
By Josh Gabelich
afl.com.au
14 February 2024
Richmond young gun Josh Gibcus is set to play his first game since the 2022 elimination final loss to Brisbane in Sunday's match simulation against Melbourne at Casey Fields.
The 20-year-old didn't appear once in 2023 due to a complex hamstring tendon injury that required surgery last January and eventually resulted in a trip to an internationally renowned sports medicine practice in Qatar during the off-season.
After a gradual build across November and December, Gibcus has been in full training this side of Christmas, featuring in both intraclubs at Punt Road ahead of this weekend's practice match against the Demons.
Gibcus played 18 games in an eye-catching debut season in 2022 after being selected at pick No.9 in the 2021 AFL Draft.
The young key defender now looks ready to resume his AFL career against Gold Coast in the Tigers' season-opener at Heritage Bank Stadium on March 9.
Former co-captain Dylan Grimes is back in contention to be there against Damien Hardwick's new side after managing a lingering calf issue across the pre-season.
The 32-year-old banked the pre-Christmas block of the pre-season but missed most of January and early February with the issue. Grimes trained on Wednesday morning, putting him on track to play some minutes in the practice matches.
Two-time premiership spearhead Tom Lynch returned to the main group on Saturday and is building towards a return against Carlton in round one after being ruled out of the trip to Queensland earlier this month.
The 2022 Jack Dyer medallist hasn't played since breaking his foot in round four last year and needs to complete a decent conditioning block to mitigate the risk of soft tissue injuries before being given the green light to return, after not running for nine months following the injury.
Dion Prestia completed a modified program on Wednesday after suffering a minor hamstring setback at the start of the month but is expected to be available for the clash against his old side, with the triple premiership player aiming to feature in the practice match against Collingwood on February 27.
Dustin Martin has overcome a minor ankle sprain and trained fully at the Swinburne Centre with the Brownlow medallist expected to feature in only one of the scratch matches, most likely against the Magpies at Ikon Park.
Toby Nankervis is managing a sore foot and unlikely to feature this weekend, but the skipper isn't considered in any doubt for Opening Round at this stage.
East Perth forward Mitch Schofield and New Zealander Mykelti Lefau are both set to get one final chance to impress for a spot on the rookie list in the practice match against Simon Goodwin's squad, which will be played across seven periods at this stage with first-choice teams to start the game.
The pair joined the club when the pre-season supplemental selection period opened on November 27 and have completed the full program across the pre-season. Richmond has one spot open and could opt to leave a spot open for the Mid-Season Rookie Draft.
After earning a debut in the final home and away round of 2023, where he showed he is capable of playing at the level, James Trezise has carried that momentum across his first pre-season at Punt Road, building a case to be picked in Adem Yze's first team in just over three weeks' time.
Rhyan Mansell has been one of the big improvers on the track over the pre-season as he fights for a permanent spot in Richmond's best 22 in 2024 after being the sub in his final three appearances of last season.
Thomson Dow has caught the attention of the coaches, including new midfield coach Chris Newman, and looks set for greater opportunity this year after managing 17 senior appearances to date and no more than six in one season since being selected at pick No.21 in the 2019 AFL Draft.
