Training 2021 Pre-Season Training Discussion

[spenze]

Hey all, been a lurker for way too long. Thought I’d finally create a profile and bestow you with some knowledge.

Player’s measurements have been updated on the AFL app, and nowhere else as of yet. Thought I’d post this because a lot of people were referencing incorrect measurements last year. Which I can only assume is because the AFC website is 2 years out of date for some reason.

Here is a bunch of our younger/inexperienced players who are a notable difference from last year.


Chayce Jones
181cm 81kg
180cm 83kg
-1cm +2kg

Shane Mcadam
183cm 82kg
183cm 79kg

181cm 83kg
182cm 86kg

+5kg

James Borlase

192cm 98kg

Few thoughts:

Few anomalies like players losing height and or weight probably just explained by error and natural variation.

Good to see most of our young inside mids bulking up. Really gives players like Hately, Keays, and O’Connor a point of difference from Sloane, crouch, laird. Hopefully allows Jones to be more competitive in the contest.

I suspected Hately’s weight of 83kg was wrong last year because there’s no way he put on 8kg over the off-season.

Very happy all of our young KPD’s have stacked on the muscle. We need them to be more competitive this year. Wasn’t sure Butts had it in him given how skinny he was when drafted. I’m bullish on him personally.

Hamill put on some good weight.

Sholl’s and Mchenry’s weight loss seems a little odd. They both look more muscular than last year.

Thilthorpe is huuuuuge

Borlase is an absolute tank

I understand that the ones who have lost height are now in relationships...

Stooped shoulders "yes dear", takes a bit of your height

 

[skam85]

So the club goes to the trouble of broadcasting an internal trial game, and we ******* b*tch because it's coming through the club app instead of YouTube.

Yeah. It's ironic considering the one complaining about poor video quality cant figure out Bigfooty's 2013 upgrade and un-blur his display pic.

 

[skam85]

The stream isn't some act of benevolence, it's a way they can pump up the website hits.

Offering up a dated, sub standard stream when they easily could have done the better option. fu** accessibility, let's get the website hits, they'll be happy with whatever we give them.

It's easy to just dismiss being an internal trial, but it's very AFC, it's part of the culture.

What an utterly entitled and rubbish call.

Not only that, even the most bargain basement of supporter realises that Telstra & the AFL own the club websites, not the actual clubs. (Hint: that's why they all look so similar)

 

[MRB37]

Confirmed Tom Browne isn't a smart man

 

[hey shorty]

He deleted it soon after.

What an epic flog

 

[Carmo]

has talia had minor surgery or niggle in the offseason for the last few in a row? I have a vague recollection the will he or wont he make round 1 convo has happened a few times previously

 

[1990crow]

Stream is unwatchable on crows website on my phone or in app

Picture quality is much better than last year (they must have addressed that frame rate issue). It's been very stuttery for the last few minutes, starting just before Blue's last goal. I'm not 100% certain, but I don't think the problem is at my end.

Complete bullshit.

What, you think they're bumping up website hits so they can get all that sweet advertising money? You KNOW why that's stupid, right?

You sounds like a complete nuffy complaining about this.

It was a bit low res at my end. That may have been because I was watching on the Android TV browser on my tv.

Calm the * down.

Geez folks chill out...the stream on my PC was excellent, no complaints at all.

Maybe Kristof is having a bad day, I don't know. Not worth getting this worked up about.

Matt Hass’ incompetence knows no bounds....shrunk Josh Worrell by 2cm in his first year with us (195cm when drafted).

Measured in the morning of draft day, measure in the afternoon at the crows.

Surprised to read so many had difficulty with the stream. I simply opened the afc site on my ps4 web browser and streamed it on full screen without any issues whatsoever

 

[Mego Red]

Mate, I'm completely calm.

You're the one who posted absolute nuffy rubbish about website hits and had multiple posters hold you to account over it.

 

[Doc_]

Nothing wrong with the stream.
If you had problems, look for a better internet provider.

It was only 570p, so not great quality. I've no idea why it wasn't 1080p.

Likewise, had no issues with the live stream whatsoever.

There's probably issues with the imbedded Telstra media player throttling video bandwidth.

It is up on YouTube now at 1080p.

 

[WheresGroomgone]

the stream was perfect quality on my phone as I drove west of Pt Augusta not sure how or why there are whingers??

I had a look at that stream. While it may be a 1080p stream, the quality still looks like 576p to me, suggesting that it is limited by the source material. Maybe AFC media need to invest in better cameras?
