Bit late getting this post out but went down to Waverly on Friday for a training session. One of the features of the session was a number of players in there original home club outfits. A good session by all. I spent a lot of it watching the rucks doing their thing. Check the photos out for more comments.

Squad for NAB Cup Round 1, 2010

February 11, 2010 By Phillip Molly Malone Leave a Comment

Shane Savage - One to watch in Round 1 of 2010 NAB Cup

The boys will be having an Open Training tomorrow morning before heading out to Tassie to take on the Tigers in the opening Round of the NAB Cup. Here is the Squad:

2 Jarryd Roughead
3 Jordan Lewis
4 Rick Ladson
5 Sam Mitchell
6 Josh Gibson
8 Xavier Ellis
12 Brad Sewell
13 Simon Taylor
14 Grant Birchall
15 Luke Hodge
16 Beau Dowler
17 Beau Muston
18 Brent Guerra
19 Jarryd Morton
21 Shane Savage
23 Lance Franklin
25 Ryan Schoenmakers
26 Liam Shiels
27 Stephen Gilham
28 Garry Moss
30 Campbell Brown
31 Matthew Suckling
36 Jordan Lisle
39 Ben Stratton
42 Wayde Skipper
43 Will Sierakowski
45 Jarrod Kayler-Thomson
47 Luke Breust

The boys I am most looking forward to seeing are:

Josh Gibson – One of the two prize recruits (along with Shaun Burgoyne). How goes Gibson might be how goes the Hawks. Brad Sewell claimed that he will be playing Full Back this year. May not actually play.
Shane Savage – Like what he has done both late last year and in the last two training sessions I have been too. Could be a Smokey to make the Round 1 side v Melbourne
The Cobbler (Ryan Schoenmakers) – One of the players with the most excitement around him this year from the Hawks faithful. With Croad’s retirement, big things are hoped from him. Would be suprised to see him wear the 24 by the start of 2011.
Liam Shiels – Another Popular player. Has finished school and word is that he is killing it on the track, leading all the runs. With his outstanding fitness, could find himself as the Hawks number 1 tagger this year.
Matthew Suckling – Another fan fav for his work at Box Hill last year. Great kick and that is something that the Hawks coaches love.
Wade Skipper – Sneaky chance for round 1 with the burns to Brent Renouf. I have a strange feeling that Clarko is a big rap for the mobile ruckman and he should be on all DreamTeam and SuperCoach Benches!
Rick Ladson – Back from injury and another Fantasy hot item. Has been talk that he is injured but has looked good in the last few weeks.

Who are you looking forward to seeing? Comment below!

Training Photos – 10 Feb 2010 – Where is everyone?

February 10, 2010 By Phillip Molly Malone Leave a Comment

Got down to training this morning. Really enjoyed seeing the drills this morning. A few boys stepped it up and others in the rehab group. Unfortunately won’t be at Open training Friday before they go to Tassie for the NAB Cup opener against Richmond (if anyone does and wants to share commentary/photos, let me know, would love to put them up).

Enjoy the photos below! Who looks good. Don’t hesitate to comment below (have made it easier but will moderate to stop spam).

Training 25/11/2009 – More Running

November 26, 2009 By Phillip Molly Malone Leave a Comment

Second post form the 25th November 2009. Mostly running although there is one of Jordan Lewis doing kicking practice. Not sure the reason for this as its the second time that while the rest of the group ran, he was doing kicking practice. Amoungst the photos is one of Wade Skipper, formerly of the Bulldogs, who is hoping to be picked up in todays draft. From the phantom drafts that have come out, it appears he might be waiting for the Rookie draft to be picked up as a Mature Aged Rookie.
