Bigman’s Training Reports

[crow2crow]

Again, Hawthorn trained at Waverley during their dynasty up until now.

Geelong had a construction site as a home ground for most of the last decade.

Christian Petracca overlooked playing at AO every 2nd week in favour of playing in front of 10 adults and their children.

West Lakes didnt seem to bother Cal Ah Chee.

you're naive on petracca. look at what GC paid. we could never have come up with that collateral - that was the issue

 

[WetCrow1991]

The point was while we might be in there in October next year, it wont be the finished product. There are still years of construction ahead, a lot of which is due to the Main South Rd works preventing future stages of our build.

The point about the size of the second oval wasnt about the recruits, it was that there are still issues and complexities being worked out for this project.

South Rd, not Main South Rd.

I never said (I don't think) that any delays with the new facility will put off potentials recruits, I said the current facility could.

I only mentioned the delay in completion because I previously wasn't aware of that, I had wrongly assumed it was all going to be done at once, I also wasn't aware the proposed MCG sized ground wasn't able to go ahead.

Some, clearly, disagree with me but I personally feel a well maintained and presented facility promotes a stronger environment and mindset and professional standards.

There is a reason why Universities, Schools and big businesses invest in their grounds and gardens

That's been known for months, if not years (since the DA was approved).

As soon as South Road was going ahead there was no chance of free access to the whole area for years.

It's all relative based on where the player decides they want to go imo.

Not naive at all

Ludowke to Bison……who is that important looking dude on the sidelines?
Bison… They tell me he is name is …Bigman.
What’s a Bigman?
He’s the reason we are here.
I thought we are here to impress our new coach.
Curtin…..Pfffftt…If you want a long and illustrious career, run past him and smile a lot.

It's also big overs though.

It's not a sensible thing to do, given what they paid. It's like they're the rich kid in school that doesn't understand the value of money.

Who is this fella ?

 

[Jarman3]

How are we fitness-wise? Are we expecting a full list ready to go? Or do we have some still recovering from long term injuries, off season surgery etc?

If you have a million bucks you'll pay 50K.

If you have 100K that equation looks different.

Jesus christ, Look at the size of Dan Curtin. If he can maintain a high aereobic capacity and transitions into the middle, he will be the biggest and strongest mid in the comp

 

[bigman]

Report coming soon.

Curtin trained without knee strapping.

 

[Carn The Texan]

First Bigman post of the offseason. A genuine ritual.

 

[SadCromFan]

I really hope there is positive news about Zac Taylor's aerobic capacity!

 

[WaynesWorld19]

 

[Crom1995]

Any news on who the train on players are?

 

[1990crow]

Report coming soon.

Curtin trained without knee strapping.

This is more exciting than Redhorse!

 

[StonesThrow]

Curtin is twice the size of Rankine

Izak pretending to be Ah Chee for the attention?

For that big bodied inside mid role, I think it will be more about his hands than anything. If he can develop quick hands (and quick decision making) to feed the ball out to guys like Rankine, Rachele, Dawson etc.. then he is going to monster some teams. Very hard to stop a player that size getting front position and winning the ball.

 

[cleanhands]

Pretty bloody impressive unit!
