Training 2025 Training Updates | Standards are… TBC

[DuckYeah]

Probably somewhere in between.

He can kick, I dunno, maybe he tries to get a little cute at times and completely shanks one. He had one horror.

When 9 to 10 goals wins a game, Turnovers in D 50 are inexcusable. If he can’t hit targets, he might want to look at careers post football

 

[DuckYeah]

It disappointing to hear skill execution is still a major issue.

I’m not going to delve into which players are elite, good, average or poor kicks. If the majority of the list can’t hit relatively easy targets on a regular basis, then that’s on the coaching staff.

No, its on recruitment staff. Coaches can only have them on the park 3 x 1.5 hr sessions a week, its cant be on the coaches.

It's a bit early. The espresso machine won't have even had the to warm up yet

I can’t. Could probably search but I can’t be bothered

Make that 4 and I heard Lynch saying "if you need to kick it low and flat, then that's not an option. Give it time and air, is just a passing kick."

The plot thickens...

Which is good advice for Chom or any other player who isn't in the top 5% elite kicks.

If you have to punch it flat to pull the kick off then it's not a kick that you should be making in the back half of the ground.

Oh. That's right. Soccer day today!

“cant remember…”

lol

Lol everyone else remembers "verbatim" what was said over the fence some distance away.

Careless Chinese Whispers would be a more accurate description of what's going on.

FWIW, I wasn't there, but extrapolating how I feel about the whole situation - move Comben forward FFS. Get him the flip out of 'Harms Way' and into an attacking position which we sorely lack and have absolutely no alternatives, as it stands. It's in effect, the easiest call we will ever have to make.

After watching Goad and Finnbar trouble him this pre season, I’m starting to agree.

Of course you are, you often have displayed common sense.

It's a no brainer. We can dance around the issue all we want, I'd rather he make senseless errors in the forward half as he is a definite talent.

 

[Kanga Glory]

Skills season this morning they went duck hunting

I’m totally biased, but I still do not understand Comben the defender.

 

[SheezHesGood]

Couple things being at training this morning:
LDU off to the side not taking part - in runners doing just kick to kick stuff
Brayden george moving freely in all drills
Goater's hamstring not as bad as initially thought - 2-3 weeks
Wil Dawson back into full contact and looking very very good.

I really hope the only factor preventing this change is injury concern. Otherwise, it's a brilliantly creative way to shoot ourselves in the foot. Who cares if he can't kick for goal. He'll score some of em, he's not at Finnbar levels

Chom hasn’t shown much as a forward yet and not saying he won’t but let’s not make it hes the second coming of Carey.

I’d like to look at Chom in defence with Logue and corr there to take the KPF’s , so Chom can intercept

As an interceptor he’s obviously good.

So alongside Corr and Logue will be interesting.

But his ability to defend is concerning.

Even the best intercepters defend pretty well now. Gone are the days where the interceptor could get away just sitting off a medium forward and intercepting at will.

Comben has shown even less defending one on one prowess than he has playing as a forward.

I thought he looked good for the small amount he was played there.

Today was a fun sesh. Hope that doesn’t upset anyone!

Errr you’ve misquoted me here Chippie

That was a reply to Val supposedly not knowing who was on here wanting 24/7 training
