2024 Training With The Ooze Crew
- Thread starter tommystigers
- Start date
Yes Fawcet did take a couple of marks and a goal I just haven't seen enough of him just yet to pump him up due to his slow build up post glandular fever
Happy Australia Day Caesar.4 x 10 Minute Match Sim Today Friday:
Non Participants : Dusty, Prestia, Grimes, Tigga, Cumberland, Coulthard, Bauer, Lynch
Played a Half: Shorty, DRioli, Kaleb Smith, Ross, Young, Juddy (the later two, good to see as it means they are now taking some contact to their shoulders)
Starting Midfields: (Ryan, Sonsie, Dow, Hopper) vs (Nank, Taranto, Graham, Bakes, Mcauliffe)
Wings: Marlion, Kmac, Banks, Hugo, Ross
Forwards: Balta, Kossi, Shai, Mansel, Steely Lefau, Campbell - Ryan, Junior, Fawcett, Schoefield, Juddy,Colina
Backs: Miller, Tresize, Brown, DRioli, Gibcus, Smith, Broad
*As you can see some lines missing players but there was a host of VFL players to fill the holes.
Moving on to Match Sim itself:
Within the first 30 seconds Shai hit a grubbered centre clearance at full pace, one grab off his shoe laces immediately into a baulk and pinpointed pass to a forward and goal. A minute later from the next clearance he was hit up on the lead for a great grab, he missed the goal, (i am now jumping off Shai for the goal kicking comp
Kossi: I have given him scant regard in the pre-season but he was the surprise packet today and if he presents and marks like he did today he may very well end up being a handy addition.
Balta; Very strong up forward and just the occasional stint in the ruck.
Nank: Showed today that he is still our number 1 ruck. When rested from ruck he and Samson rested forward for respective sides and Mate & Balta took the centre bounces.
Best of the midfield: Taranto, Hopper, Bakes and Graham started well early before being moved forward after half time.
Best of the Wingmans: Marlion, Hugo
Best Defenders: DRioli, Tresize, (although his kicking was scrappy).
Best Forwards: Shai, Balta, Kossi
Best Of the kids: Mcauliffe, Campbell, Sonsie
Above is as close as i could get to positions as there is always plenty of chopping and changing throughout the session.
*If you add in some of the non participants the sides and competition would have been more compelling.
*On a side note Lynchy introduced a little bit of kicking into his training and some very tentative first steps in jumping for the ball.
Cheers
Appreciate the man hours you put in observing the action live and the time consuming reports you post afterwards.
Not to mention answering the obligatory questions that come after them..
PRE living legend
Could he be the first AFL player ever to debut before Rd 1 of their first season??
Short clip but geez McAuliffe is impressive. Brute of a kid, with pace as well. Excited to see him this year!
Nothing in that clip gets in by accident.
Yeah, theres a bit there. Nice to see.
How good would that be. He stood up in the Pickett tackle and brushed off Dow sorry, not trezise. Definitely not your typical 18 year old!
The fact he was so hard to get down for Pickett, even though he turned the handball over, was pretty impressive. Built like a brick shithouse already, not your regulation skinny draftee who takes a few years to bulk up. That strength alone would have him right and ready for an early debut if needed
I have no idea whether he is any good or not but one thing I would say is that he moves really well. Has a great running style and seems to be quite mobile for a big fella.
Of course he still needs to get the footy but initial reaction is that he looks a footballer.
Said it before. He reminds me of Cogs. Should've given him #24.

In your view are there any of the younger brigade looking at snr game time this yr that have otherwise been stuck in the VFL?
Mitch Cleary says concussion.I don't think i have used the "fittest we've looked" in fact i am sure i haven't.
I may have have been tending that way on Cumberland and Prestia but that seems to have crashed and burned with Prestia now 3? and Cumberalnd 2 weeks in rehab
By the way Tigga was just standing and watching today, he did no run-throughs at all.
