Touche! White and Grundy didn't appear on the track until quite late in the session. Both were in training gear so I assumed they had been working inside.
Matty Goodyear trained well as usual. He was shadowed by Brenden Abbott in most of the drills. Manteit did not train and I'd totally missed him. I've amended the report.

Thanks Neil, I imagined Grundy and White did a work out before the Training session (they weren't reported as being injured). From your comment it was humorous reading "training ...by spectating". Good to hear Goodyear is training well and be interesting to know how Manteit is going. I know you had a lot to say about his efforts during last month hope he gets back out there. With the Scum game coming up ..... It's only training but I'd love to see our young guys run all over them! |

Question, with the focus on quick legs and long kicking to a target, what was the accuracy rate like? Were the forwards leading and watching the ball go everywhere except where they wanted it or have we learned (or started to learn) to actually kick to the advantage of the leading forward? |
Good question Stui and I should have mentioned this; it was the most accurate session by foot I've seen all summer. When the ball was tapped by Witts, for example, most often it went straight to the small mid who kicked long to the forward. The kicks were invariably very well placed. Not many forwards took marks though.
The kicking generally today was excellent. I know I can get excited just being at the Westpac Centre, but I left today with a spring in my step. It really was a fantastic session. The young lady next to me didn't think so though; she texted through the whole session. Think she may have been somebody's missus.
She seemed to know a bit about Darcy! |
Probably shock. |
 |
next we will have a need for a marking coach! |

Who am I to disagree? |
You should be a writer!

Well done!

Hi Neil & thanks for your report.
Did Sinclair train? If he did how did he go?
How did my man Abbott train?
Cheers

Your man Abbott huh? They seem to be training him up as a run-with defender WPT. Perhaps the defensive part of his game wasn't readily apparent, so they've decided to teach him the defender skills. He's had an interrupted pre season but is starting to look OK out there in match practice.
OK you can have Abbott, I'll take Manteit.

| Is Mash likely to be a utility type or are we looking at a future speedy KPP? |

it sounds like a whole lot of bad habits need to be (or are being) unlearned. just when the forwards thought they had it all worked out.
