Can someone paste here please, work has blocked BF website! Thanks.
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...
