Nth Melbourne Training Report
Wednesday January 10, 2024
Rehab group: Some of the players included in this group were Griffin Logue, Jackson Archer, Aidan Corr, Luke McDonald, Charlie Comben, Curtis Taylor, Taylor Goad and Tarryn Thomas.
Charlie Comben and Jackson Archer also completed a lengthy running session on the main oval.Â
Main group completed a time trial prior to a light skills/simulation session.
Jy Simpkin, Dylan Stephens, Liam Shiels and Darcy Tucker were some of the leading players in the time trial.Â
Tarryn Thomas did not participate in the time trial following groin surgery in December. He would be questionable at a minimum for Round 1 at this stage.Â
Brayden George (non-contact cap) participated fully in training, no knee strapping while elbow strapping remains following surgery in October. He looks ready to be available for the opening stages of the season.

Zac Fisher was used behind the ball in limited player/ground simulation. He was often the deepest player to start ball transition and at times did accumulate multiple disposals in each play.Â
In the same drill and on the opposing team Colby McKercher was used in the same role.
On the opposite side of the ground in the same drill and different set of players Harry Sheezel split time ahead of the ball and behind the ball. In another drill Sheezel was used as a player running inside F50.
Fisher and McKercher clearly had a defined role while Sheezel had a mixed role.Â
Tristan Xerri landed awkwardly following a basic ruck drill, after a minute to gather his breath he continued seemingly without issue.Â
Hugh Greenwood participated in ruck drills along with Hamish Free (non-contact cap).Â
Mini midfield group completing a kicking drill included Jy Simpkin, Luke Davies-Uniacke, Brayden George, George Wardlaw, Will Phillips and Liam Shiels.
