Training 2015/16 preseason training (discussion)

[free at last]

When do the lads officially commence their PS for 2015/16?

I'm looking forward to reading the usual suspects reporting in and giving a good account of the PS grind.

Will be in Perth early January. Not sure what the schedule is like but if there is an opportunity, I will have a squizz.

I believe the young boys start on Monday and then the older guys a week or 2 later. If they are training next week then I'll be heading there on Monday unless something comes up.

Yep - club website has training starting next week... and we have been instructed to watch them too... or at least 8 of them.

Amazing to think Bennell has over 80 games under his belt already, but is only one year older than Sherro.

Taberner will probably run another 40,000km in the pre season.

Clarke seems to have strong pre-seasons so he is my prediction.

 

[Tonga Bob]

Taberner will probably run another 40,000km in the pre season.

What like Forrest Gump?

 

[Allikat]

Taberner will probably run another 40,000km in the pre season.

He's a year older now so I expect 50000 this preseason!

I'll be over in 3 weeks to spy on training

Yes young players 1-4 year start Monday.
The rest start 2nd Dec.

I'll be able to make it down to a few sessions this year too.

salim malik - what's the best day if I'm only going to make the trek once a week? (ie: is there a 'main' session that's the most worthwhile coming too?). And do they do ball work straight away or will the first few weeks just be running?

Before Chistmas it doesn't really matter which day as it's more about fitness than ball work.

Last season the footies came out first day. Pretty much the same procedure every session before Christmas , a bit of ball work and then lots of running .

which festival do you think he will injure himself at this year

thought the "no footballs" in the first month was a Mark Harvey special.

Probably changed since but I remember when Acker was at the Dogs he said that they pretty much don't touch a footy for the first few weeks.

They got the footys out early last year. I made it to training the first session after the draft and they had them out.

i think that was the same timeframe when Adam Cooney was telling Aker what he needs to do, to become a premiership player.

Sheridan and Crozier, they seem to get mentioned a lot in pre season.

So it was getting dark, and I was hurrying across the oval to get to the hospital, but it sure looked like Connor Blakely training by himself at Rosalie Park on Wednesday evening. He was doing repeat sprints between two sets of markers. Private fitness work, or my poor eyesight?

Lock in the former thanks Clem!

Since the club isn't allowed to keep tabs on the players during their time off anymore they pay extra close attention to the return to training fitness levels of the players.

Conner is smart.

 

[Kram]

I think someone somewhere said that they don't really run players into the ground as badly as the used to when they get back in for pre-season but in return they are expected try and keep themselves in pretty reasonable condition when are away from the club on holidays.
