A few observations from this morning’s session (1-4 year players) - had started a beep test & then some ball drills. Probably 2-2.5 hour session. Looked to be about 28 doing something at one point or another.
Sicily, Hardwick, Scrimshaw - participated in ball drills and Lewis watched beep test.
Morrison participated in beep test, plus ball work.
CJ trained apart with mainly medium tempo lap work.
Stephens was in the whole session & Wingard was a late onlooker in civvies. Nash in training gear came out later on.
Weddle cleaned up the beep test to the point where he was on his own for the last 5-6 passes, coaches jumped in to keep him company, but none of them doubled up doing that.
For what it is worth Tucker looked to be the first to go out & Newcombe looked to be the first of the mids to go, but not too far from the main breaking point.
No Chol, Gunston - Ginnivan didn’t look to be there, but all wearing singlets & a few with caps & different hairstyles eg. mullets look to be shortened. Not sure on D’Ambrosio for same reason.
(Footnote to the above - as a mate who did a pre-season in mid-80s, along with 60+ others, was told “the only medals handed out in March are at Stawell”.)
The aesthetics is definitely beauty to behold but what I love the most is Finn’s preparedness to work hard and acceptance of feedback in order to improve. I love the lad and I want him to have a stella career and WHEN he does and that magnificent GF medal is around his neck (maybe even throw in a NORM), I will think of Simon Goodwin’s sulky face bitching about Finn’s demolition of Clayton Oliver. Sam Mitchell worked his arse off to get better and look what that effort delivered. Some natural skill is a must but it is the hard work and determination that gets one to greatened heights. BTW - Sam Butler isn’t looking too bad either. Keep the pics coming Andrew and enjoy the training days ahead.
