Yes, I've been missing, a bit disheartened with all these injuries.

From Training today -
- Redman completed the session
- Smart and Tsatas seem like the other ins.
- Davey trained in defence
- Perkins, Hobbs and Gresh in the red twos team.
- Ridley only did half the session, hoping just managed

Our VFL players. Half back, mid and half fwd. Only really Nyko is worth a look as a mid season pick IMO

Training Notes 15/4/25

- Langers did warm up before skills and running on other oval
- Guelfi did skills, marking and running, getting close
- Cox & Parish jogged laps, hearing Cox did a calf also last week 🀌
- 2 Acedmey kids trained with us in Sweid & Huss.

Sweid likened to Dion Presita in build

In the pre season he was. Now he needs to find form in the VFL. But he was looking good pre injury

How can someone improve their contested marking if out injured and unable to contact train?

09.04.2025 06:02 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Yes, since he has been injured he has turned into Wayne Carey.

Parish moving well

VFL Practice Game review

5 goal win v Pies

- Wright hurt (ankle?) Couldn't put weight on it.

- Most of the new draftees did well.

- Johnson the stand out, just class, maybe 25 plus touches off half back. πŸ‘€

- Saady very strong in the air and great run.

- Edwards a few goals but didn't dominate

- Cox, Parish and Davey all increased their training. The last 2 doing kicking now

- Squad of 26 did main training the others will play VFL tomorrow.

- Wright, Edwards, Menzie, ADW, Johnson and Nguyen will play VFL with the usuals. Hayes and Goldy will not

VFL 10am v Pies

Training Notes - 5/3/25

- Jones (corkie), Draper, Caldwell, Davey and Redman running laps
- Guelfi, Parish, Cox and Lav didn't train.
- ADW, Johnson and Nguyen back in full training

- Johnson kicking is very silky, smoky for a half back role in the future I feel

Friday will be a hard session

AFL game has been cancelled.

There is VFL practice game at the Hangar 10am Saturday.

Might be a good opportunity to get some run in the legs of some underdone players.

I.e McKay, Rids, Redman to name a few
