Preseason for 2008.

[bigbunyip14]

Chuck all the info you get about different clubs, and what/when they are doing stuff about preseason. And maybe some sightings of different players at clubs for preseason.

[goodie]

as most users would know, darnum has started getting ok numbers to the, pre pre-season non compulsery sessions, mostly the unfit fellers though, like myself who needs an extra bit of fitness....
averaging about 12.

[bigbunyip14]

I think bunyip are having a meet the coach session down at the ground in a couple of weeks time.

i have started my preseason, with a 5.4km road run in the stinking hot, 2day. sore calves.

[Pluggeroo]

Nilma Darnum's Pre Season will commence on Monday November 12.

Its at the St Pauls College in Warragul, on the oval at 5:45pm.

All past and prospective players are welcome to attend.

Last year's Pre Season was a ripper and this will be no different.

The coaches for the coming season are the same as last year.

Senior Coach - Brad Sinclair
Senior Ass. Coach - Jamie Cann
Reserves Coach - William "Duds" Platschinda
Reserves Ass. Coach - Brad Platschinda

i'll do what i can!

Abletts gunna try but needs about 30 grand to get there and live while he is trying out. Doubt it very much if he could come up with that sort of cash.

[bigpapagman]

if he can get the cash up, its a small investment for what he could earn!

[saint leo]

We normally start about mid january 2 nights a week, only short pre seasons but fairly tough so most players normally do a bit before hand or else they get found out quickly.

[bigpapagman]

Darnum starting for real tonight.

awesome. :rolleyes:

[goodie]

damn, i have to play basketball :(

[Axe Man]

dammit. i wanted to ass coach the thirds.



Sounds like your area of expertise Bigpapa;)

Mahahaha! Good one Ant!

[bigpapagman]

Sounds like your area of expertise Bigpapa;)

that was a double entendré.......

[goal sneak]

Don't think i will bother with a pre-season this year. Probably just rock up the week before the first practise match.

[bigpapagman]

wish i had the luxury of that....

[goal sneak]

Pre season eats into my social life too much. Stuff going to footy 3 nights a week. Might try and get down there once a week or so.

Why don't you have that luxury papa?

[bigpapagman]

Why don't you have that luxury papa?

if i didnt do a preseason this year, it would be pointless me playing footy at all. would be way too fat & unfit.

[goal sneak]

Rory Giliaette board

[bigpapagman]

but hes obviously a lot better footballer/alot more naturally fit than i am.

[longworrytheonlywaytogo]

bigpapagman u will be happy to know i have started my pre season today

[bigpapagman]

wont matter anyway, youre still shit.

[goal sneak]

Haha papa that is the funniest thing i have read on bigfooty. Are you being a bit harsh on the kid though?

[bigpapagman]

Haha papa that is the funniest thing i have read on bigfooty. Are you being a bit harsh on the kid though?

[goal sneak]

how bad are we talking?

[bigpapagman]

[bigpapagman]

the missus is coming over from invy @ about 6.

will go for a run anyway, though.

[goal sneak]

[bigpapagman]

whaddaya getting at goalie?

since i got on the Nasal Spray.......havent had any problems.

[goal sneak]

Haha got a good story for you on this topic.

New years Eve this year went up to Echuca with a few of the boys. We were meant to be staying in a caravan park but it was about 10 minutes out of town so we decised to look elsewhere. Ended up booking at the backpackers, about 7 or 8 guys in the room. Ended up taking a girl back there and had to perform infront of 7 sets of prying eyes. She gave me a massive hand job and when it came to perform lets just say it wasn't my best effort. next morning on the radio that ad comes on the radio. bloody embarrassing. Best part of the story though is when i finished i just chucked the dinger and it hit one of the guys.

right. so you came from the hand job & then couldnt go a 2nd time?

[lucifer1]

Nah i think he means when the time came to hop on he was already half gone from the hand job and produced a two stroke effort. Right?

[goal sneak]

Yeah thats it lucifer but have had that problem before too papa.

[bigpapagman]

Yeah thats it lucifer but have had that problem before too papa.

we all have.


never had any real problems with going too early.


when i came home from the footy trip, i lasted about 3 and a half minutes though.

[longworrytheonlywaytogo]

wont matter anyway, youre still shit.

[bigpapagman]

[longworrytheonlywaytogo]

[bigpapagman]

[Pluggeroo]

Nilma Darnum had a great night at training for the first pre-season run for the 2008 season.

Good numbers attended with 24 players, both old and new coming along for the run.

Good to see the young fellas getting there to see how its done too. It will only benefit you guys, stick at it.

[Pluggeroo]

On another note about training. The facilities at the St Pauls Anglican College, Warragul are second to none. The training surface is fantastic, as well as the surrounding walking/running track that we experienced in the (pre) pre-season.

But it doesnt end there. We will also have use of the "astoturf" hockey/tennis court, as well as the basketball court and accompanying facilities. A 40 seat theatre room is also available for viewing game videos and talking tactics and team plans.

But the big bonus will be the use of their state of the art gym facilities. I was in there last night and I was shocked to see what a high school has for it's students to use. There are VFL clubs out there that wouldnt have what this school has.

Thanks to the arrangement that Brad Sinclair has with the St. Pauls Anglican College and his coaching appointment for the school team, the Nilma Darnum Football Club has access to all these facilities, at almost any time.

So, all those players out there that are looking to get an extra edge in their fitness and muscle tone, get down to the Nilma Darnum pre-season training, have a run with the guys and take advantage of the state of the art facilities that we have the good fortune to be able to use.

In case anyone forgot, training is at 5:45pm, Monday and Wednesday nights at St Pauls Anglican College, Warragul.

[weLLa]

also to add to that good post plugger the facilities are available to use on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday night aswell, if u contact brad sinclair.

[weLLa]

basketball is a sh1t sport so that is a sh1t excuse goodie.

[goodie]

12 minutes each board.....

basketball is heaps of fun and very good for fitness..

harder work out than anything else i have ever done and its high intencity to and you can just write shit like that

n00b.

[weLLa]

oh no not 12 minutes. when u try n score of every ball n run and the other person is a dead bat, its about 10 balls.

if u find jogging up n down a basketball couple of times hard, u r gonna die on Wednesday if u go to training.

[Darnos4Life]

Stuff that last night was hard enough and it was only the first night i cant feel my shoulders from the 60 push ups we did

[bigbunyip14]

On another note about training. The facilities at the St Pauls Anglican Grammar School, Warragul are second to none.

[weLLa]

i dont think so but once i had ran into him he didnt come back on i couldnt belive the hype around lachlan hansen when it was coming up to the draft cause i havent seen him play seen that year and i really couldnt remember him being any good must have improved out of site i think

[bigpapagman]

thats what i reckon.

i dont think he will make it in the big time.

wish him luck, though.

[longworrytheonlywaytogo]

if brett dore has a good soild year for frankston next year is a chance to get picked up i reoken

[bigpapagman]

It bothers me that you are advertising your old club's training schedule and saying "COME DOWN" as though you are there, mate.

Did you know we are also training now, at St Pauls from 6 bells?

Hope to see you there tonight, mate.
