Seeing I’m not a good connoisseur of derrieres and can’t report training drills as eloquently as others I’ll just post a few snippets from training yesterday.
The session started with a pretty ferocious tackling session right in front of the race. Kingy was getting into a commentary on the tackles which I think encouraged them to go harder. A few were gang tackled and pounded into the ground with a fair bit of force. The intensity surprised me a bit but I suppose that’s just part of normal training. Jay earned a fair bit of praise for his efforts.
Morro has an injured foot (? Was in a protective thingo-technical term there) and he was fairly lame and looking dejected. I suspect he’s played his last game down south.
Rodan looks like he’s rearing to go. He was dodging and weaving and doing really sharp turns on his own, really putting his leg to the test. He’s really hungry to play again and I expect a big one next year from him.
Mark Graham participated in the tackling drills but not the simulated game. He spent time talking to other players. Great effort Mark…good you’re still helping the team and soaking it up as long as possible.
I was really impressed with Tambo’s kicking in the goal practice session. They were all going cleanly through the middle.
Ashley Prescott was there with a team of aboriginal boys. Does anybody know why they’re here? Maybe a curtain raiser or something?
On other related footy news I went to the Roos shop and got my son a signed, framed memorabilia piece for his 21st. (Hope he’s not reading this) It’s a massive collage of important events in North’s history. It looks awesome and there are clever little quirks and hints as to whom some of the players are. They were extremely friendly and helpful there.
Alistair Lynch was in the city and I got him to sign his book I’d bought for my son. He asked if he could add a happy 21st message which was nice. I told him I didn’t really mean it when I was yelling for Gas to take him out. (My bimbo report alert….Geez that man is charmingly handsome. Lovely genuine smile )
