Which players are 'burning up the track'

[piesaregreat]

Every team has heaps of players training the house down
Pity not all of them step up in the real season.

Can't say Carlton have.
Most of the work has been with game-play drills, which is a very stop start affair and difficult to get any gauge on an individuals from.

Ones that have stood out though, for varying reasons:

Gibbs & Menzel: Just oozing class.
Liam Jones: Surprised to see the 198cm ex-Dog move so fluently.
Clem Smith: Energetic type with some very clever moves.

Much too early yet.

@ Essendon Cooney has been extremely impressive his burst from packs the standout.

Also Joe D taking marks out in front really strong and kicking better(Lloydy)

 

[Dazb86]

Not having many injuries is more important than the training at this time of the year.

 

[Rusty22]

Nathan Freeman

 

[Royce Hafey]

Conca's beard had been performing well.

 

[DerpWerls]

Burny Vince is heating things up

 

[SizeMatters]

Dayne Beams is mid pack for fitness compared to when he was one of the best at Collingwood, just goes to show how far behind Collingwood really are. Can't wait to see what he can do with a decent fitness program.

Freo still have a massive injury list, but the young kids have been stepping up and training the house down. Sheridan's been a running machine, and a couple of our new draftees, Weller & Blakely sound like they're smashing training and already close to AFL levels.

The Dogs have had to take out a compulsory purchase order on all houses within a 1km radius of the Whitten Oval. They've been damaged beyond repair. Bontempelli keeps training them down. They're thinking of sending him to a cow paddock north of Whittllsea to train on his own.

 

[leekok]

oh well, he can come and train with us.

 

[wcesam]

Just feels kinda wrong ogling over the physique of some random kid young enough to be my little brother. I think I'll stick to supporting him based on football ability from now on.

Don't fight the feelings ManOfClay. Just embrace it.

 

[CrowAboutIt]

Chris Masten has been training the house down since before he was drafted.

Ahh crap picked him in our boards draft game just on that fact alone..

 

[thetank]

Jack Watts has been training the house down so much, he has twinged his groin.

(at least we know he has one)

From this, during the season:

To this:

Inb4 ASADA probe. An article on the AFL site - google Marcus Bontempelli pre season - says he has put on 7kg. He was 85kg during the season just gone so is over the 90kg mark now

4 of the 5 kilos has gone to his chin going by those photos.

They said on the radio today he's grown height wise too. I reckon he's probably sitting around the 195cm/90kg mark now, turned 19 this month... As nice as it would be to have someone like that in the midfield I'd be so tempted to turn him into a CHF. With Boyd at FF, Bonts at CHF and Stringer in the pocket we could potentially have 3 elite key forwards, as a dogs fan thats just too ******* weird I can't handle it

 

[St 07]

At least St Kilda aren't burning up the dwarves this year

 

[aussierulesrules]

Year ain't over yet.

Maybe after signing that big contract he decided to slack off and enjoy Christmas?

What was holding him back early last year? Knee? Ankle?

May be giving it a rest before ramping up. Those guys who've been around a while don't need to do mega training loads before Christmas. Just stay uninjured and manage your recovery from surgery / injury.

 

[aussierulesrules]

Jack Newnes is blitzing the time trials for us..

Yep, won this week's one comfortably I think. Great to see that Dan McKenzie, who we just drafted, came 3rd. Hearing some really big wraps for him.

 

[Soul_Pie]

Darcy Moore is having is best pre-season to date. *

*May be his first

 

[PatientMental]

Does Kane Cornes count?
He ran a 9 minute 3k on his first day back and continued to smash the running drills over in Dubai. Even though that doesn't mean much.

 

[MrFujiMoto]

Angus Litherland, Sam Mitchell, Billy Hartung, Jon O' Rourke, Grant Birchall, Ben McEvoy, Izzy Smith are the names I have heard are tearing it up from the Hawks.

Good to see Big Boy McEvoy tearing it up. Great bloke.

 

[Halftimehero]

Tyrone Vickery apparently, going to propel himself to one of the greatest ruck/forwards the game has ever seen
