2024 Training With The Ooze Crew

Julius or anyone. Did Dimma have this trial run so often in past pre-seasons? If not, it's great seeing Ooze shake the sh!t out of the players.
i remember last year they did one at the start of pre season, then again after christmas. taranto won both then as well

Taranto’s always been top of the 2km trials at GWS and here. He’s a natural runner hence always doing well in them

Training Today Friday:

Lynch:
Started off at 9:30am sharp and jogged 2 laps then did about 50 minutes of run-throughs and the like, a few bystanders welcomed him back including myself. All in all a very pleasing sight as we hit the New Year.
Shorty: Also in rehab but there didn't look to be too much wrong with him, when I asked him how come he was taking it easy he just joked, "old age" and then enthusiastically said to us "it is great to see Lynch back" and nodded towards him.
DRioli: I had mentioned pre-christmas that Rioli had hardly been spotted, today I think he completed the 2km time trial but didn't notice that he did any of the drills, the only other time I spotted him was doing some very low impact laps maybe even a bit proppy?, (i am still wondering if he had any undisclosed ankle surgery in the off-season?).
Ross: Still in rehab, it was always going to be a slow recovery from his toe op but I don't know whether all is going to plan or slower than expected?
Trezise, Grimes, McCauliffe, Coulthard, Hayes-Brown, Miller: Did not train, only Grimes was spotted.
Gibcus: Trained 100% :clap2
Tylar Young: Potentially completely out of rehab now? although there was minimal contact today.
Juddy: After the time trial he spent a fair bit of time wrestling the grappling coach to strengthen the shoulder he had surgery on.
Dusty: A bit more reserved today, gave us a little bit of concern when he came over to rehab and pointed towards the back of his ankle but thankfully promptly rejoined the group.

Yes training started with the 2km time trial in 2 groups, basically talls then the rest, I take less notice of time trials these days, the usual people win them and the usual suspects lag.

For those interested the talls was won by Broad then Gibcus and Mate`.
The 2nd group Seth Campbell led for all but the last lap where Tarranto gobbled him up and spat him out and a few others overtook him as well.


Structure:

Balta
: Still stationed forward
Bauer: I think it looked like he was playing some sort of high back role? @The Mole (who was also there), may be able to confirm or deny this?
Bakes: Around the mids.

Standouts:
Don't know why I created this headline category as there probably wasn't really one but Cumberland certainly caught my eye a couple of times with his blistering pace and evasiveness and taking on the defenders.
Meatball: Dare I say it as it is fraught with danger but he is in the best condition I have seen in a very long time.

No match play or the like so i don't have much more to add, i am sure @The Mole will contribute something when he get's around to it.


PS. EDDIE JNR :cool: , Channel 9 was watching for the whole 2 hour session so you might need to tune in for an experts report ;)

Cheers

Great report C. A fit Prestia and Lynch could boost us up the ladder.

Got to love the full body wobble of Cumberland as he crosses the line.
He even runs with melodrama

They all look fat.
Fatter. Cmon Ceaser, tick tock. Tell us we are wining flags again based off two hours in January.

Feels like everyone I know is missing football more than normal. The void is huge this year.

Don't need to, the World's greatest optimist, (Balmey), looking very healthy and fit i must say was only too happy to stop briefly and tell us how good all the boys looked and that there is great enthusiasm in the change rooms and team meetings, the place is bubbling :cool:
