...that the guys are psyching themselves up for a big one at the weekend.
Felt I had to bunk off work this afternoon to go see how the boys were shaping up. It was a very different session to the other Wednesday sessions I've been to.
Less focus on specific skills drills than normal. They spend the bulk of the session just running the length of the ground in one long drill - transferring the ball quickly, running in numbers, playing on immediately after taking a mark by handballing to a player running past, long kicking forward to a mark and then rebounding exactly the same way in the opposite direction.
Very very vocal session, including Roos who was standing in the centre barking out instructions and encouragement - normally you can't hear him say much at all. Lots of energy, lots of hard hard running and the skills looked sharp and focussed, despite the drizzling rain.
