Training 2026 Pre Season & Training Reports

[King Corey]

It was a generation too soon, his son is gun.

It's a very North thing for a random shitmen to father an illegitimate son who has the potential to be a top 5 player in the league for another club.

 

[Chip Scab1]

I'm sure there would be 1 poster from the other 17 clubs that could make a similar type of list for their team.

And? I wouldn't piss on any other team, if it were on fire.

I couldn't care less about any other team, the entire sport is the Mens AFL side to me. I watch the girls and wish them well except Kraven (Danny's girl) - she tries hard but I can't warm to her like I do some of her teammates.

If only that was all of them, I'll add a few names (before I do a deep dive into < 2000).

Scotty McMahon
Cam Zurhaar
Coopperfield
(when it's gym time) Harvey
Lachy Hansen
Bailey Scott
Bread McKenzie
Tom Curran
Mark Arceri
Aaron Mullet
Daniel Wells
Jack Ziebell
Ryan Bastinac
Cam Richardson
Liam Anthony
Cruize Garlett
Shaun Atley
Aaron Black
Kieran Harper
AIDS Kennedy
Hammer McIntosh
Peter Mann
Warren Campbell
Mark Lisle
Doodles Dwyer
Paul Bryce
Dean Mcrae
Darren Harris
Justin Staritski
Jason Love
Derek Kickett
Jeff Chandler
Eric Lissendon

For starters.

Ok. Pre 1990 time.

Steve McCann
Rohan Robertson
Brenton Harris
Mark Hepburn
Micky Passmore
Jose Romero
Robert Sagler
Andrew Demetriou
Peter Jonas
Steven Hickey (I think)
Dean & Glenn Dugdale
....

All time biggest mistakes:
Not going hard enough for Gary McIntosh (he unbelievably was on our list in 1984)

Recruitment of a fat, mentally-challenged, Hay. (do know his ex-wife really well so I can say this)

It's a very North thing for a random shitmen to father an illegitimate son who has the potential to be a top 5 player in the league for another club.

It's us in nutshell.

 

[Shinboner1]

Compare our guys 2-3 years into the system, vs their guys drafted the same year.
No wonder we're behind.

I felt dirty leaving your boy out. He needs to be there, showed a bit did our Micky.

That’s what happens when a coach makes you play in the 2s rather than gift you games.

Looks like the boy wants to knock the door down

Bingo

 

[kangafruity]

A finer whipping boy you struggle to find.

I would raise you Shane Clayton despite a medal around his neck

 

[Roo316]

Zane’s arms look like sausages, bloke has zero definition, just a cylinder from shoulder to wrist.

 

[giantroo]

 

[Ruckle]

Earlier start time then last year

We'll do less for longer. Its a great strategy.

 

[The Nostradamus]

They’ve added a Saturday session
Training (Arden Street Oval)
Saturday, November 15
7.40am-9.40am AEDT

Very early tho

 

[Passmore]

Still trying to work out which side to hitch my wagon to...

Team A: we're so shit why are we bothering; or

Team B: is that all we're doing, why aren't we training harder?

Reminds me of Kyron Hayden.

 

[maddiemelb]

I’m back with my muscle filter!

 

[giantroo]

 

[the big lebowski]

Very happy to see Zuhaar looking trim after his injury.

Mattlock looks to have added some much needed bulk

I’m back with my muscle filter!

Good to see a bit more size on Goad, Whitlock and River

 

[year of the roo]

So no Corr, Darling, Daniel and LDU. I think I saw Powell.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

I’m back with my muscle filter!

Thanks Maddie!

Urqs, Whitlock and Trembath all look bigger.

 

[amaz199]

Is it just me or did the boys get slimmer?

Some of them bulked a bit, but I'm not particularly impressed.

Big agree. Konstanty, Parker, X and Sheez the only ones standing out as in good nick. Hard to tell with Whitlock's size given he's so lean but at least he didn't get too fat. Half of them appear to have gone up a few body fat notches too. Sadly about the same rate as my local club as to who's in decent shape and who isn't after the off season.
