I saw some fairly heavy haymakers being thrown at Liam, which thankfully all appeared to miss the target. Would hate to go a few rounds with Keys if these are just innocuous punches in his book.

More like hail Mary’s.

The other bloke was obviously on the piss and just wildly swinging. Lost his footing and was literally falling over himself.

City folk are soft

And if we're going with stereotypes ... country folk are stupid ... only white folks are smart ... Haitian eat cats ... blah blah

Stereotypes are dangerous.

[ToastieBoy18]

Made it down at about 9am. Was there for about 2 hours. Very solid session.
Started off with an extensive warm up, into some tackling drills, a ball movement drill, 30 mins of match sim, into 3 competitive game sense rotations. There was about 5 or 6, 400m efforts in between every transition from drill to drill.

As mentioned in previous post - no sign of Hunt, Hough, Sheed, Bazzo.

Duggan did limited work at the start before going inside.

Chesser, Jamo, Petch, Yeo and HEdwards looked all but ready to go. Were held out of match sim, but did ball movement etc. went over to the other oval and did a power of work. Would think they will be reintroduced in the next week or so to full training.

5 x wafl players topped up the squad.

Teams were split into blue and yellow for match sim.

Blue
Fwd - Waterman, Brockman, JWill, Ryan, Rawlinson, Cripps

Mid - Harley, TK, Graham, BWill

Wing - wafl player, Davis

Back - Baker, Cole, Allan, Ginbey, gov, van Es


Yellow

Back - Grego, Brock, Maric, Barnett, wafl x 2

Mid - Hutch, Hewett, Gross, Flynn
Wing - Hall and Dewar

Fwd - Owies, Allen, Shanahan, long, Malakai

Some individual player notes - mainly the younger player.

Greggo - impressed me the most of all out on the track. Tough, composed and no nonsense. Plays with serious swagger. Bought Harley down in a big tackle. Skills were good. Early debut on the cards in my opinion.

Hall - trained really well. Rotated with Hutch inside and outside. Was strong inside and spread really well from contest. Won a lot of the ball.

Dewar - will be very surprised if he doesn’t play round 1 on the wing. Covers the ground well, skills are as good as we have and a big chase down tackle on Harley.

Hutch - as above with Dewar, can’t see him not playing. A real athlete that has serious mongrel about him. Disposal and decision making questionable, but has a unique skill set. Very good.

Allen - didn’t do a whole lot, but composed when he had the ball and didn’t look out of place.

Gross - Had one really good moment, where he gathered a ground ball at a stoppage. Bounced off Bailey Williams tackle, broke another tackle and fed out to a runner. Slight, but looks a player.

Shanahan - wasn’t involved a heap, matched up mainly with Gov and Reuben. Athletically gifted and one intercept in the forward half was impressive.

Davis - looked at home on the wing. Won plenty of the ball. Trained well.

Malakai - very slight, but got involved. Will excite.

Brock and Van Es - both weren’t involved a heap. Didn’t do much wrong. Brock had a good one on one win against waterman.

Barnett - looks far more confortable down back. Lost some one on ones, but got involved offensively and looked confident.

Brockman - was involved and lively. Trained well.

Ginbey - really excited to watch him grow this year. Was really confident across half back. Flying as 3rd up plenty of times, and looked to get involved on offence.

Maric - matched up on Ryan, was towed around abit, but was confident in flying for marks and chopping off balls to the forwards.

Harley - certainly not his best session. Caught twice and hardly touched it in match sim. Wasn’t covering the ground that well, but not a huge concern. We know he can play.

Hewett - wasn’t involved a heap, but looks fit.

Kelly - rotated between inside and wing.

Long - rarely sighted in match sim, but back to full training is a positive.

Archer - didn’t get a massive look, but moves so well.

JWill - was the best of the forwards. That 2nd ruck/forward spot is his, I’ve got no doubt.

BWill and Flynn - good contest. Neutralised each other. Baz with a nice contested mark, but not much to speak of other than that.

Overall, lots to like. The young kids are bringing the energy and competing really well against senior players. It appears as of the next week we should have all but Bazzo available, unless Hunt, Hough and Sheed have concerns we haven’t heard about.

Bring on the next month.

brilliant report, cheers

 

[CountryLad]

Played with a couple of the krakouer brothers and was outside Subi oval in the carpark when they both ran past, said a quick hi to me and kept running through the parked cars with about 10 blokes in hot pursuit.

Bit surreal that they both acknowledged me whilst being chased, but apparently the feud was long standing and they were pretty used to it.

Mind you, one of them was a bit lazy back of centre and it’s a shame he never ran that fast or far into defence.

Would have been Colbung’s chasing them.

 

[Chris_6678]

Good to see Flynns injury wasnt anything serious.

 

[1Bally1]

For me we need to squeeze in Hutch and run him through the midfield as we could've found a gem in the msd especially what he showed when we played him in the mid against Geelong in a game where we lost by 90something. Imagine him in a more competitive side with better players aside him like a Baker or a possible Warner next year and an improved Harley. Same goes for Tyrell and Hewett and they only go up and as well need to be in the side. Hutch Dewar and Hewett.

Great write up! It’s good to hear some lesser known guys tearing it up and showing some good quality in match sim other than the regulars we already know.

Look we all been there, few drinks and someone always wants to take the title.

But Liam isnt 18, he should have enough sense or good enough mates around him to pull him away and keep it moving. And whatever the context is, it doesnt matter.

It brings attention and questions him, his worth to the team and to a wider extend the club. Hopefully, nothing comes of it and footy just gets started so these bullshit discretions are all forgotten about.

Nah ive been out and about whilst drunk or around drunk people and haven’t seen the need to box on. Most people don’t if you have at least half a brain

I see this all the time up here in Kununurra.
Two people would have a little punch on with a group surrounding them, then walk off like nothing had happened.

So the Chicken Treat outlet is still open?

 

[Dom sheed pocket]

Colin Young was interviewed by Barra outisde the club and he seemed to give the impression this will all blow over.

Interesting to note he mentions it’s good that Liam and Evana are safe, which dovetails pretty closely with the statement from the club.

Reading between the lines I think this might be about some guy giving Liam’s partner some grief in one way or another.

Or, just maybe, he's an angry dickhead. Let's not rush to his defence because he's 'one of ours'.

That's PREMIERSHIP PLAYER angry dickhead to you.

About time we got some out-in-metros-involved-in-a-gangland-shooting campaigner back in the club.

Liam Ryan fighting dudes at night and then being part of an AFL sanctioned promotional presser all smiles the next day is the type of can-do attitude of the early 2000's Eagles. I salute you, sir!

I would have been more worried about Gardy. Lovely bloke but I’d rather push Barry Hall over tying his shoelace than get on Grady’s bad side.

Clearly jokes, mate.

Yea I know Bender! But get with the programme, young people live and die by social media! And no I don’t like it but that’s why coaches now; need to be communicators ; I.e. ego strokers!
