2024 Training With The Ooze Crew

Training Today Monday 15th:

Finally training in their numbers "whohoo' easier to identify.

Coulthard: Those that follow this thread will know that on the last training session before xmas 18th Dec i reported Matty either did a bad hammy or even a knee after being escorted from the ground by two trainers. The next day at the Captains Run I lent towards hammy as he was at least out there walking around.
He was not there Friday but out there today in rehab moving pretty well and not looking far away and was very bubbly, (being 28 days since incident I am sticking with hammy although nothing on RFC website).


McCauliff, Trezise, Hayyes-Brown, Miller: All back today.

Tylar Young: Absent

Jack Ross: Learnt today his toe is fine just a bit tight, getting close.

Hightlight Moment: Now I can't describe it in detail but between the two of us, (we were both on the phone we pieced it together), Lefau, had a bout 5 repeats efforts around the midfield and then an exhausted last effort further down in defence as he lunged and spoilt the forward. Coaches and players roared their appreciation and the whole playing list came down to high five him or rustle his affro, Dusty was 2nd man in line to do so.
One act but way to go to impress your coaches, effort trumps a lot of other values.
He did have one other highlight but if i were the Ump, hands in the back would have denied his specky.


Tom Brown: Forget the 2km time trials, endurance not his go, today he was winning the full length ground sprints, (maybe 150 meters or whatever the length of PRO is?), beating the likes of Kmac, Banks, Clark etc. I am the Choo Choo at the front of the Brown train, not sure if i have any passengers as yet :cool:

Lines:

Fwds:
Balta, Fawcett, Kossi, Schofield, Mansfield, Cumberland, Shai, Campbell, Steely, (doesn't read that well but better if you add a fit Lynch and Coulthard).
Seth: Showing a bit here, a nice pre-season so far.

Mids: A bit of centre clearance work today a sublime tap by Mate` to Marlion the highlight, Dusty more mid today.

Negative Nelly: Now I don't really like being negative but this will be my last comment on junior, I reckon he will go the way of the Doddo Bird and is not in my future of the RFC, pretty disappointed in him really, (only my opinion so don't shoot me like I am shooting Bambi).

Cheers
Well done Julius. Sad to hear about Mozz. Maybe it just takes longer to sink in....who knows. Jokes aside from Mate, I haven't seen him as you have, but just some training photos make him look like he's committed now. Who's Mansfield?

Drinking Red on a Monday night is not recommended, Mansel of course.
Hard to be committed when Mate` had a fractured back last year, not saying he is going to make it by a long way but there is no denying the shape he is now in.

McCauliff, Trezise, Hayyes-Brown, Miller: All back today.

Tylar Young: Absent

Bauer: Back in rehab/conditioning doing really level run throughs, didn't see him do an injury Friday but fear he might be a hammy guy?

So would you say he wasn't in the best 150 players in the comp????

2012 Kane Toad ranked AFL # 288
2013 AFL = # 103
2014 AFL # 448
2015 AFL # 305

So his median player rating saw him sitting around AFL # 297. Should be described as a Port Adelaide not great. :)

Lynch: 6 laps amongst his 1 hour duties compared to two on Friday

Samson?
 
Few here recognise that Noah has the speed, attack on the ball and the marking and kicking ability to make him an outstanding prospect in our forward line.
Ideally he will play half forward.
If he plays forward all season predict a 45-55 goal year.
Would absolutely take that every day of the week.

No one is denying that Grimes has been a superstar @Dont Argue but how did you think he faired last year?, to date his pre and post Xmas training has been virtually non existent, basically has not been out there first two sessions post xmas. We all hope he still has a role to play but I have actually moved on in my mind.
Heard a description of Grimes suffering an "old man's injury" - or slightly more technically as a "calf"

Just another training question Caesar - who was the young bloke wearing No 12 today?

I did say it was my last word on JNR, i personally think he lacks professionalism, don't think he is that skilled .
Was back in rehab today and seemed to be left to his own devices and did very little and more intent on bludging and watching what was going in main group rather than his own rehab.
Left track super early and spotted in Swan street in his sivvies by 11am while boys training till after 12 pm, (maybe nothing in it I just don't like it)

Geez, sounds like he’s riding the coattails of his famous surname. Better prepare himself for a mighty crash post season if things don’t change
