Training Preseason Training Thread - 2024/25

[Keys]

And that’s me done for preseason

Probably the best conditioning I’ve seen the squad in since I’ve been attending training.

There’s a bit to look forward to this season albeit we’ll lose more than we win and there’ll be the occasional shellacking when things come completely unstuck

Stay positive, take the good with the bad as the players learn the new game plan and Mini identifies what he has to work with. Some will thrive, others will fall away but one thing I’m sure of is that the effort and desire to compete and improve will be there

Onwards and upwards, enjoy the season

I think they meant its our easiest game out of the first 5. Which it is.

Isn't that what he's saying?

Coasters7 ha my bad I apologise for my comprehension there. I’ll just go pour another one

Can I ask what was so odd about his sprint?

He was vaping at the same time

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

His ankles didn't disintegrate.

I think at this point that other oval should probably just be considered Jamieson's.

 

[The Gtrain]

He moved like Tom Cruise.

 

[Coasters7]

Hahahaha wot m8! Lions, Dockers, Giants, Blues isn’t exactly a charmed run

Yeah I worded that poorly haha. The GC game is our easiest fixture by far so we need to be going hard at that one

Can't say the season launch has ever really done it for me tbh. I just don't see who it appeals to.

With the amount we're constantly spammed/updated by the club day in day out on FB, on media, twitter, interviews, fan engagement, videos...

Who actually cares about the season launch other than the players themselves? What's new?

Do I care about Baker receiving the jumper he played in on Saturday? Not particularly.

Is Macqualter going to say something different in his interview this time compared to his last half a dozen interviews before this? No. Even if he does, so what.

Different strokes. Some people might be keen but I'm pretty content with hearing from the club unless it's a round 1 team update by this point

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

First the early morning preseason game vs Richmond, now this.
Clearly these events are not held for the fans (or most of them), since most are working at that time.

It’s ok we’ll get some live updates from Keys

 

[MeltMan]

anyone from our last couple of years still eligable for the rising star.
can dewar win it? is it age / 10 games played.
i assume we had a bunch of kids play 10 games due to injuries that could have otherwise had a real crack

So you think having our first hot out against oppo should be in the middle of the day in Perth in February?

9:30 hit out correlates with the time they generally start training, and beats the worst of the heat.

Fans (or players) don’t want to go watch the boys at 1pm on a day that could be 35 degrees.
