2015/16 Pre-Season Thread

[Pdub]

Good to see Bob with the guns, but the BIG thing he needs to work on this pre-season in endurance. The interchange rule mean the midfielders who can't run out a game are going to struggle.

I'd leave endurance until next season, he doesn't need to do extra running on that foot just yet, let's just get him to good enough this season.

B.Crouch looked similar last season ......he's not overweight, just big boned & he'll run that off ok when he's able to

I'm not even sure he's that "bad". I just think he has that type of face, with the rosey cheeks that just makes him look a bit huskier.

No, you didn't.

Clearly a big room full of desks with no dividers.

You sure ? ....that looks like Pykes office

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

Was told in the last half hour that the club had planned that Troy Menzel would have been on a modified program until at least mid December however his rehab from off season surgery has been first class with extra sessions with Duncan Kellaway and his recovery is about 2 weeks ahead of the best scenario planned schedule

An early sign of improved professionalism

If Grigg really smashes this preseason, it could make for some interesting discussions around our best 22.

The plan for grigg is he may be turned into an inside mid....

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

Did anyone go to training today

I was told that CEY was the standout

geeze, I can't think of any conceivable reason why a head coach might need a private office?

rewind about three frames mate, I'm sure you saw it.

also for what its worth, as much as we all wish we were about to enter our second preseason under Walsh, Pyke is the new boss - and if he wanted to scrap the open plan that's his decision to make (but lets reiterate, he hasn't).

 

[Allefgib]

Love these threads. Bring it. Ill miss the guts of preseason in Canada so expecting you guys to deliver.

 

[dylan123]

I wonder how many sessions will be open/closed this year with Pyke in charge now.

Hopefully a few as I always enjoy the reports when they come in.

I like the open plan idea, wouldn't think having every coach in separate rooms would be the best way to do things, but surely they would have some private rooms like the one in the video for one on one meetings, you wouldn't have 3 coaches in different meetings with players/whoever and one trying to work quietly.

 

[ams4crows]

I wonder if you volunteer to have the new guy live with you or your told by the club it's your turn to host the newbie. Does anyone know how it works?

I think that's just a bad photo. Just saw him in the players arrive video, at the end and Crouch looks much better.

Hey bud pull your head in ! .......did i make any comment at all on the office ....or did i point out simply an observation

Yup they have separate rooms for meeting with players. There are smaller ones and then there are bigger ones for each 'team' within the team to meet with the coaches which have bean bags etc in them.
