Nick Gieschen & James Gallagher

Our Season 2008 campaign commenced Monday night at Graduates Oval, North Adelaide.

The new coaching group of Trevor Potts, Brodie Atkinson, Jarrod Cotton and Jamie Mason were introduced to the playing group before Senior Coach Trevor Hill outlined expectations and the training program for the period until Christmas. Fitness coach and League Runner David Couzner then put the group through a gruelling 4.5km time trial to The Weir and back, captain James Gallagher setting the pace from Brendan Littler, Matthew Brunoli, Mathew Fosdike and new recruit Nick Gieschen.

Then it was into three (3) groups, rotating through handball and kicking drills facilitated by Brodie Atkinson, Trevor Potts and Jarrod Cotton.

The playing group will be together 6 times per week until the Christmas break, Monday and Friday for running and skills at Graduates Oval (Frome Road, North of Zoo), Wednesdays at Kensington Oval (previously Olympic Sports Field) for skills and then weights on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturday mornings.
