Training 2026 Pre Season & Training Reports

[rickety]

JK is being humble. He didn't do 'nothing'. He stayed home and poured himself into improving his condition.

He defo needs to work on his media style presentation, might just not be his cup of tea ... looks to have done a power of work though

I actually like it when they are not media trained and sound robotic

On preseason content I hope our media team lift their game

Other clubs have done long form video footage of day 1 inner sanctum stuff

For those that can’t see the above post.

Thanks for sharing mate - first time I’ve seen it

Nope. Cam can get in the bin. That will be the night the AFLW team lifts their second cup and he should be mortified he won't be there. Loser.

?!? You blupy ijit. Ain't nothing wrong with how someone treats their own body and mind if it doesn't harm you or yours. If anything, more steak for the carnivore. Leave this rubbish at home.

Yep I agree, he just needs a little composure. Probably come with time/exposure.

Easy to be negative, but geez our blokes look skinny.

I am still amazed how AFL have structured their training. Map their contact hours and access to official club resources to any elite individual sport and see how the athletes respond. Imagine telling Usain Bolt you can't have any contact with Glen Mills (his coach), nor can he set a specific program for you for large periods of the off season. And even in season there are limits. Insane.

I can't get my head around how backwards it is.

Should check out the NFL, it is even crazier.

Nice. I wonder whether that kind of attitude is something the coaches have already seen from him before. Would help explain why he seems to get pretty good support with gametime.

LDU, Simpkin, Corr, Darling, Zurhaar and Pink seemed to be missing from the track.

Conditioning wise, FOS stood out. A serious unit. Looks taller than his listed height too.

River Stevens also looks to have had a solid off season. JK, McKercher, Harry (of course).

Louge looks in good nick, which is a start.

Do they have any positional group training this early in the year?

Any signs of magnets being thrown around? (eg FOS or Kerch in the middle)
