Training 2015/16 preseason training (discussion)

[Moo]

Even though today was a light session, a theme of skills focus is evident.
Last week intense focus on kicking, today more on handballing.

It's give & take - more on skills means less on strategy, sims & fitness.

I was thinking this is more to do with the input of the former Hawthorn people.
This is way more ball work than we have done so early in the pre-season under Ross.

 

[UFO Tatsu]

Not that I know of. Fred keeps pretty much to himself .

He is sick you guys constantly praising belly while dissing danyle Pearce

Is it really that different from last year's preseason? From memory there seemed to be more emphasis on ball work and match sims during the week training sessions and pure fitness stuff on Saturdays.

That is true but not in weeks one and two.
We were running like hell last year at this stage.

Exactly my recollection too.

Actually from Day 1 last pre-season - ball work, kicking skills and goalkicking. As salim malik reported:

The footy's where out early with a bit of handball and kicking skills followed by goal shots

I did mention shuttle runs and lap runs though .Have not seen any shuttle runs so far and running laps has been minimal. I agree with Fred its a much more skills orientated start to the training.

I've just watched the Ballantyne interview. It has a nice little reference to preseason training that I haven't seen reported at all.
"We did 40% more running last year, so I'm not sure how much more we could actually do than that, 'cos it was a fair workload. So it's more about the quality of run rather than the quantity of run. So if we keep our quality of running going and get that higher speed stuff, keep that, we'll be looking good for round 1."

So: more sprints and fewer laps of the oval? Sure sounds like confirmation of Fred and Salim's observations so far, though it's only been the 1st to 4th years until yesterday. Interesting that Ballas is able to talk about the changes to the preseason training on his first day back.

There is a spreadsheet on the wall that shows the programme for the entire playing group so he can see what everyone will be doing.

 

[Allikat]

There's some nice snapchats of the group doing the 3km today, and then some handball & kicking drills after.

Gu won, followed by MDB. Not sure of the rest of the order.

 

[simpsonwillo]

I thought Mzungu might win along with DeBoer. They are both extremely good endurance runners. Gutsy stuff

 

[Swan Districts Kid]

I recommended that he get next to Sutty and try and go with him . I warned him that the smile on Suttys face can be deceiving but that if he uses him as a role model he won't go wrong with his development . His reply was that he saw Fyfe as the role model he was aspiring to follow so it looks like he got his wish.

Good advice there Uncle Arthur.

All this talk of running laps is giving me Sylvia flashbacks

flashbacks of him failing to run laps?

 

[purplerunsdeep]

Mz and Deboer? Groundhog day

 

[MadDocker]

I remember trying to support that clown on here and thinking he might become a great addition... Oops.

Also who vote belly to take Ben Allen place instead of Fred.

 

[PurpleWizard]

Barlow third going by snapchat.

Primed for his new inside mid role this year.

 

[Reginald Perrin]

Who came last?

 

[rgauci]

Who came last?

They never release that sort of stuff. Wonder if Mora competed.

He looks trim as well.

 

[purplerunsdeep]

Barlow needs to have a big year - his career is on the line. Many young snappers ready to take his spot

Not bad considering he just flew in from Thailand

Play him inside mid instead of a link player and problem solved. The one thing I couisn't figure out with Ross last season.
