Thanks to Hobbsy,AJ and the others who help put yesterdays training day together it was a great day with about 28 players turning up.After forming groups the guys put in some hard work to get the activities down along the way having some fun.

Before the training day had even started the Eels were hit with yet another blow with what I’m told by a good source could be a career ending injury to not one of the players but the Eels number one social supporter when he is down from Geraldton Mr B.From all the boys at the Eels we hope you have a speedy recovery.

On some other news it looks like some of the other boys will be resume footy training this week with the unfortunate end to cricket season  this will boost the playing stock just in time for our first scratchy.

See ya at training lads!!!

All you player’s that aren’t doing anything this weekend get down to the training day.Any one who is not a player but is wanting to get involved or participate feel free to head on down to the coolamon oval pay your $25 and your in.

Everybody has trained really hard since the 12th of January so it’s time for a little fun just before the first scratch match against a different club.I’m sure theirs a lot of player’s itching to play footy against another club but before that lets support the club and each other by getting to the training day Saturday 6th March, be at the oval at 7.45am.Every other training day has been great.

Judging by the enthusiasm at training  Tuesday I reckon the boy’s are really looking forward to playing Kwinana just to see how fit they are.  Myself  I can’t wait to catch up with the Eels biggest fan and a fond reader of the Eels website especially captain’s blog , this gentleman and his wife travel all the way from Geraldton, Shane & Tracey Bone.

Be great to hear Shane yelling at boner again. 

Anyway see ya tonight lads!!

Firstly thanks to the all the players,coaches and the club for giving me the opportunity to captain the Eels league side in 2010 it is an honour and privilege to be a Captain of a football club and to be voted in by your peers  is awesome, and again I thank everybody.

Congratulations to Jessie who is the league Vice Captain.Also congratulations to  Shane and Wyvan who will Co Captain the reserves.

Great intra club scratch match last night lads with some stand out  new players like  Jonesy,Ads and Arron all playing well and working really hard just to name a few.Snow,Johnno and Rob Schannars also playing well, with a lot more players to come back for both sides there should be no reason why both teams can’t be strong this season.

On a sour note we did get an injury to an important player to the club,which I hope isn’t too serious as Brent has been working really hard and put in some big sessions this pre-season and we all knew 2010 was looking like he was in for a big year and it still could be if this injury isn’t too bad.Cross our fingers!!!

     Lets all keep up the good work and all have a Big 2010!!!!

About 50 blokes on the track last night and everybody trained really well which I think may have been to avoid the sand hill for the second time.( no not really) it was a great atmosphere. 

Again we had a couple of new players which was great and considering the night we had they trained well.If we keep that intensity up from here on in towards the Kwinana game selection tonight will be a nightmare for the coaches which is exactly what we want players training hard to earn there spots in both teams.Keep up the great work rate boys.

A couple of us will be going to Hillary’s Saturday for a run if anyone is keen I will be there by 8.00am.

Training at Bayswater waves had an average turnout, after the club & coaches went out of there way to organise a good night were we could train at a different venue.For those players who may have pulled up a bit sore after the scratch match the pool would of been the perfect place to be.

 In any case for those of  you who rocked up it was a good session that started with a 3 km run then into the pool for 6 laps out of the pool for another 1800 metre run then back into the pool for another 3 laps everybody did really well and finished.We finished the night off with a game of water polo and trust me we all have a different out look at that game.

A couple of fines out of the night one to Pav for ringing Jess at 6.15pm and asking him to pick him up,taking into consideration we started training in Bayswater at 6.30pm.Second fine to Chris Sims new player  to the club for ringing girlfriend to come pick him up from the pools when he only lives 400 metres away.(nice one Sims)

Again thanks to those who made to training Tuesday we will benefit from it.

Great first intra club lads good numbers and good to see some on lookers already supporting the club with a lot of players missing due to other commitments we still had enough for two sides.The teams were evenly matched I thought and although it was a slow start the tempo picked up quickly.With some good ball movement through the middle and around the ground it didn’t take long before all the new and old guy’s to found there feet and show the new coaches there stuff.In saying that it looks like there will be some very difficult selection nights.

All the new player’s that have come to the eels from what I saw will fit very nicely into the Ellenbrook Senior football club sides and hopefully they enjoyed there first hit out at there new club and I’m really looking forward to the first  scratch match against the Knights.

Well done to all the boys that took part in our second time trail for the year and by the look of the results most beat there last time so I guess all the hard work is paying off so keep up the good work boys as it is going to be a big year for the Eels.

Unfortunately before the season starts we will lose a great player, a leader and just a great bloke, JENKO, for those of us who had the opportunity to play footy along side Jenks will understand exactly what I mean and even off the footy field great club person to have around any football club.I guess the other teams in the comp won’t missing and some won’t remember him because he hit them that hard they’ve lost there memories. Any way all the best Jenko in your adventures but again our lose but Gold Coast gain.

Welcome everybody to pre season Eels style with a new coach and a lot of new players what a start we”ve had to 2010 great  numbers with great enthusiasm and voice also some great time trials in the first week.This week  started with same intensity from all the players with some good running in the 800,400 metre (x2) then followed up with a good skills session but we still have a long way to go.So get hold of those who aren’t at training so we can really set the club up for a great 2010.
