"Said there was a real buzz about training today, plenty of voice Training gone up a notch"

How comparable to both 2017 and 2018 pre-final training buzzes and notch climbing?

Thanks for stepping into the breach aoc1974, greatly appreciated. How was the meatball ball moving?

Cheers Tiger... sorry, should have included you in previous post... all good to my eye and Caesar's sidesalad

°looked pretty slick, lot of hitting up Lynchy on the lead.

As we saw last match from Martin and Prestia, this is elite 6-6-6 stuff. All depends on us getting first use, though, which is more likely with Soldo at centre bounces.

Any Prenders going to the open training at the Gabba this arvo?

Pretty sure Bris said he would be heading along to it.

Looking forward to his thoughts

 

[zippadeee]

Brisbane have stopped us having a run on the Gabba, so we will be doing sprints on the greyhound track.
My money is on Castagna Bale.

 

[BrisTiger24]

Just been to the captain's run at the Gabba. Very balmy afternoon. All emergencies except Butler have travelled as well as Rancey. Good to see him out there. If Butler didn't travel, I wonder whether the reports about the blues are correct?

Not much to report, just a light run and a kick. If only Mabs could impose himself. His skills are exquisite.

Still not convinced about Nank and Soldo in the same team. Watching both run around, they are noticeably slower and less agile than all the others. Oh well, we wait and see I guess. With 3 emergencies, any chance of a late change?

We must remember the crucial thing that led to success over the past three seasons: we play to our strengths.

Elements of our plan and structure will be tweaked to take advantage of Nando's strengths if and when both are on the ground.

For example, if Soldo is taking centre bounces, Nank may fill a hole in defence if Brissie's talls start well; or Nank may go forward to the goal square for a few minutes, allowing Lynch and Riewoldt to play a tad higher.

It's all about wrong footing the opponent and creating temporary mismatches.

Neither Nank nor Soldo will be expected to replicate certain things that Balta and Chol can do.

or, for example, Nank may tackle Zorko at the first stoppage, and fracture his sternum.

He could Moe (verb) Curly Neale and Larry Zorko in a double headlock and then crunch their heads (accompanied by the sound of a bowling ball strike in the backgorund)

Nyah Nyah nyah!!

I’d be a bit surprised if nank and soldo were on ground at same time , unless Nank is giving a tall forward a chop out which would happen at some point

That's mainly what I mean, although, if we're well on top (or well down) we can always experiment with an extra tall to create a mismatch. Don't forget, every game has a secondary purpose of finding/developing the perfect plan and structure to combat the Eagles on a dry deck.

Agree.
Thought we got ahead of ourselves against the Pies in the 2018 pelim when we arrogantly announced pre-game that Rance would be our deepest defender, no matter the match up.
Allowed Collingwood to come up with their own game plan based on that.

Not the reason we lost, but a piece of it ..........
