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
.
JON and Connors then came out for some kick to kick after the others had finished.
