2024 Training With The Ooze Crew

That’s one vague sweeping statement “everyone at the club etc” which ultimately means nothing. The subject is Hardwick and yes I have high standards in everything I do and I would assume the RFC have even higher standards - and there was more to the ‘22 season besides one game!
17 coaches be looking for new jobs going by your Standards.lol
 
Sorry, can only do Wednesdays at this point. I was there last Wed but no training that day.
 
Training Today Friday:

Now that the practice matches are in play everyone can see for themselves how the players are going so my reports when I do them will be more injury/ management observations or if there is anything of note.

Lynch: Did a lot less than I expected, did warm up and one lot of drills with main group, (probably an hours worth all up), so yet to do a full session with main group.
Prestia: There were noises about Prestia getting some game time on Tuesday v Collingwood but today he did warm up and initial drills with main group but when it came to 15 minute qtr of match sim, he only did 5 minutes, then stood and watched and then went inside. So are they managing him for minutes on Tuesday or other? I am still not exactly sure where he is at.
Bauer: Having basically not trained with main group pre and post Christrmas he was absent today.
Mansel: In his moon boot
Nank: Still rehab.
Oliver Hayes-Brown, Mate`, Fawcett: Just walked laps, think it is back issues for Mate' and Fawcett?
Hopper: Was out there but did not do match sim drill or anything after that, I heard a snippet somewhere that he may have been dragged down late in Melbourne match sim and got his leg caught? anyway there didn't seem too much wrong so probably just managing him.
Grimes: Trained fully.

Biggest plus today from session:

Mkelti: In the 15minute match sim he took 5 one grab marks, (ps. i may not put money down on his set shot kicking though on today's viewing). **I think they may even play Lefau on Tuesday although I am not sure if they are going to have extended benches for that match?

???????:

Cumberland: After giving him much praise earlier in pre-season and improved body language he seems to have dropped off a bit and showing signs of frustration?, don't know whether that's with his body or just his mindset, (just an observation that could be totally off the mark but we are in the opinion business).

Cheers

Full session for Taranto? Someone on here said he was carrying a soft tissue niggle last week and not purely managed, would be good to see him back playing for Tuesday’s game

Yes full session for Taranto but I have said he has been managed a bit this pre-season despite Ziebell saying Tim had had a fantastic pre and that he was only managed for last game.

Great, thanks! Hopefully the fact that he’s our fittest player/best runner will hold him in good stead for the season even after doing less than last pre season

You keep the Ferraris in the shed until the main races are on. Might bring them out for a couple of laps to fine tune but then back in the shed.

Bauer is a mysterious what's happening with him so is it a hamstring ?.
Yes after 2 months of nothing AFL.com said Bauer missed Melb match sim due to hammy which i have alluded to all along,
Still to be listed in RFC injury news as far as I can tell so no news on status :unsure:
