2024 Training With The Ooze Crew

I forgot his name, I've always called him Elvis.
So I looked him up that's why I spelt his name correctly otherwise I wouldve gone with Frictch

Still way too close to the actual spelling. I was expecting something like Friggatitch.

Caesar's commitment has slipped as much as our premiership stars. If he still had fire in the belly he would've stowed away in the glovebox of the team bus.
I told Caesar that, if he’s going to hitchhike to Inverlock, he needs to wear a high vis vest so drivers can actually see him. Don’t want them mistaking him for road kill
 
They did more this week under Yze then they did in the entire 7 weeks leading up to last xmas.
Get them to run back

Wrong time of year for that. In high-vis he gets mistaken for a bauble and ends up stuck in someone's Christmas tree.

All the info you share is really appreciated but seeing as you are at every training session some more in depth reports would be great.

Reminds me of this joke:

When four of Santa's elves got sick, the trainee elves did not produce toys as fast as the regular ones, and Santa began to feel the pre-Christmas pressure.
Then Mrs. Claus told Santa that her Mother was coming to visit, which stressed Santa even more.
When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were about to give birth and two others had jumped the fence and were out, Heaven knows where.
Then when he began to load the sleigh, one of the floorboards cracked, the toy bag fell to the ground and all the toys were scattered.
Frustrated, Santa went in the house for a cup of apple cider and a shot of rum. When he went to the cupboard, he discovered the elves had drunk all the cider and hidden the liquor.
In his frustration, he accidentally dropped the cider jug, and it broke into hundreds of little glass pieces all over the kitchen floor.
He went to get the broom and found the mice had eaten all the straw off the end of the broom.
Just then the doorbell rang, and an irritated Santa marched to the door, yanked it open, and there stood a little angel with a great big Christmas tree.
The angel said very cheerfully, "Merry Christmas, Santa. Isn't this a lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you. Where would you like me to stick it?"
And thus began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas tree.

Yep. Natural position imo. Makes too many mistakes as a back and being outside 50 is no issue with his leg.

Doesn't mean he can't pinch hit down back if needed.
I don’t have a problem with trying Balta forward but imo he was generally quite good down back in 2023. He was very high up in intercept marks and played some ripper games during the season. He was mentioned as potential AA squad at stages.
I think we sometimes remember the odd bad stuff and forget the good work he does down back.

On Fritch, given how many times he takes a peek at himself on the big screen when he's coming in for a shot at goal, i don't know why defenders don't load up with a stack of that grippy stuff, and as they walk past him ,run it right through his hair, from the nape of his neck, right over his head to his eyebrows.

Then with any luck, the camera man would focus on it, so that every time he looked up at the screen, which would be often, he's see his mane looking like Jack Nicholson in some of his more crazy hair roles.

I'm sure it would totally f*** with his head and put him right off his game!
