Training- Report? Pics?

4ever_saint · Tue 29 Apr 2008 2:05pm

Was wondering if anyone went to training today, or is going to and if you could post a report/pictures as I believe this week is super important for our club. it'll be a huge test after the dissapointing saturday night loss.

?? Whilst your having a haircut???

M. Gardiner and Schneider will be in.

Armitage and G Train were with the Casey group.

Fraser's body language says he is almost ready to pull the pin. I believe he had a meeting with Ross yesterday.

Bakes seems to be carrying a corkey.

Raph was having shots at goal and nailed them all.

All up not a very inspiring session.

disappointing if that happens. i think he's still got something to offer and if it were up to me he'd be playing at ff this week.

still, my neck isn't on the line like RL's if i get it wrong

i think he should be in this side this week...

as well as schneider, gardy, maybe even raph

Saints Premiers 2008 · Tue 29 Apr 2008 6:01pm

even if fraser is used as a percentage booster against the weaker teams he will play his part

he tends to murder the teams with no defence and we always win by plenty when he does so

4ever_saint · Tue 29 Apr 2008 6:02pm

great to hear that schneider and gardiner could be coming back, tho i dont like the idea of raph being an inclusion, to me he is not up to afl standards and never will be. tho, if he does get included, i hope he proves me wrong.

If Armitage plays for the Scorps this week I will be filthy

Has provided a real spark since coming back into the side

Played less than 1/2 the game on Saturday but was in everything. HAs done absolutely nothing to warrant demotion.

Now if he can do that on match days.....

It would be quite a waste if Armitage was dropped since he is one of the very few mid-fielders we have that can actually kick a goal!

4ever_saint · Tue 29 Apr 2008 6:18pm

and he seems to be one of the only players who seems to have enthusiasm towards the game atm

Saints Premiers 2008 · Tue 29 Apr 2008 6:19pm

in schnieder, mg
out birss, rix

i doubt raph would come in...

i think he would,

bergsone · Post: # 557411Post **bergsone** » Tue 29 Apr 2008 6:24pm

surely Armitage will play ahead of a few others.

nicko016 · Post: # 557414Post **nicko016** » Tue 29 Apr 2008 6:27pm

Thank god Gardy looks like he could come back in. Will be a rel plus with Schneider as well. But gee, I hope they don't drop Armitage.

Reported by Ross Lyon that G Train has arthritis and finds it hard at ground level

Expect a retirement

report From Luke_l_26- Thanks

he arrived around 3 pm-
most of the group doing field and goalwork,
Most of the midfield were sitting out on the sidelines.
Roo did marking drills,
Lyon in control of the main session
Dal appeared to be missing_?

Must have trained for just over an hour - started to go into the rooms about 5 min after he arrived

he will post more later if others haven't filled it all in.
