Tiger Training
WilliamPowell:
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
