2024 Training With The Ooze Crew

Jeez I hope Lynch plays round 1 and kicks 30 by about round 8 just for the sport Richmond supporters will have with Cornes
I think it's great when a youngster studies Journalism at university, and then starts his career in the mailroom of a media outlet and observes the great journos at work. He picks their brains, goes to hundreds of pressos to see the doyens of the industry in action. After years of putting his head down, assisting his superiors with writing their stories, he finally gets to represent his media outlet as a journalist in the biggest sport in the land.PS. EDDIE JNR, Channel 9 was watching for the whole 2 hour session so you might need to tune in for an experts report
Cheers
This is meritocracy at it's finest.
Kudos Xander...you're an inspiration to all of us!
According to that oracle of football, Lynch isn’t running on grass yet. Love to hear Caesar ring that clown someday and put him straight. He’s still really salty about us ruining his 300th.
And the 3 flags in 4 years…..Port won a flag didn’t they? Yeah. That’s right. Just the one. Some time back now.
...... 3/4 time so they can take him off for the last quarter
It would be the pinnacle of their career getting to rub shoulders with Robbo, the thrill of a lifetime.
He's a Tigers 2 time Premiership player, so end of round 2 at best, according to the AFL. Lesser player from any other club, end of round 1.
What the actual F......I think this damaged my sarcasm meter more than Relton Roberts damages a buffet.
Heard very little of the train on players kiwi and schofield. My gut says kiwi but would dearly love the key forward to show a bit and impress
Missed this yesterday.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%
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

Love your work Kniferack!
I have not been able to identify Schofield, (there was one player hitting up hard from the forward line but I don't know if Fawcett is back training or if it was Schofield?), there was only one yesterday so if it was Fawcett either Schofield didn't train or may not have been invited back post Christmas?)
Mykelti Lefau was there yesterday and looks unbelievably fit and did pretty well in the 2km time trial for a such big unit.
Lefau only made his return to footy in June last year after doing his ACL in May 2022 so a full pre-season will give him his best chance.
Had some eye catching moments of power through the middle in the VFL late last year, (hasn't been a big ball winner and not sure of his game sense coming from a rugby background).
Having said that his last 4 games in VFL produced 64 disposals and 39 tackles
.Spent 3 years at Casey Demons before being let go so what did they not see?
I am keen to see how he goes when they do some match sim.
I'll keep an eye out to see if Schofield is in fact still training.
Late Edit: It was Schofield that I saw today.
