2024 Training With The Ooze Crew
- Thread starter tommystigers
- Start date
He was in our room 2 weeks ago. He had a stress fracture in Feb/Mar. Needs monthly scans to determine injury status and as I understood it, 3 clear scans before he can start running again. His 6th scan and hopefully 3rd clear one is this week. So possibly gentle running starting next week.
Apparently his spine is that long that it takes him 3 weeks to get through the MRI machine
We can't really hold out much hope, can we? I am not a medical person just assume that an 8 foot ruckman with back complaints can't last long

Thanks Caesar. Good news to at least have Fawcett on the track. Hopefully he can get his fitness right and put in a good pre season and give our kpf stocks a boost.Main Training Today Thursday:

Don't know but Seth's form the last 3 weeks would have warranted a stint in the VFL to gain some form & confidence anyway IMO.

Just to add to @caesar's report I/we noticed a clear change in some of the training drills. They clearly called out a matchplay drill and there was lots of focus on defense and then attack. I am sorry to disappoint many but there is clear focus on breaking down the gameplan and then practicing set plays/game drills to teach defensive, stoppage and attacking patterns/processes. Was fun to watch and interesting to note those players that get it and those that still need to learn what is expected.
Given it was very windy/gusty the coaches didn't get too fussed with wayward long kicks but execution in close, running patterns and channels and quick execution was a clear focus. Also, and again I hate to disappoint some, but there was some blunt, loud, stern direction provided by a couple of coaches both generally and to a couple of players specifically. Really strict in one of the defensive drills where there was blunt feedback provided on poor positioning.
It was a solid, fast 90 min session with a real focus on good defensive structure and then good overlap running and holding space/width. This aspect of holding width is something I've seen us struggle with against the Hawks and Freo. I felt it was a clear focus today.
