Training 2026 Pre Season & Training Reports

[The Nostradamus]

So who won both groups time trials?

And top 3 or 5 in the shuttle runs?

 

[The Nostradamus]

Not much changed to the positional groups, Goater still defence. Dawson getting screamed at by Adcock got being out of position on a transition drill.

Goater in full training today?
Last week was doing stuff off to the side only

No surprise about Dawson bloke is a deer in headlights back there

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

I went down for about an hour, lots of running drills and training on transitioning the ball out of the centre and back line, our backline still look dysfunctional.
What we expect Sheez looking great as is FOS, and McKercher
I think Thembath will fit right in with Larkey, I did see Maddy there I am sure she will post some good pictures

If this still the case in March, it’s safe to say that the coaching isn’t up to standard.

Listen how vocal Corr is

Make him the runner then

 

[CaptainObvious23]

Got to training at 10ish.

No Dove or Gold on the track which was disappointing.

Simpleton, Curtis and Urqs walking laps have a big old sook.
Urqs is big. If Simpleton could play with his shirt off, he might play better.

Group of 12 year old fangirls trying to bust onto the track giving off St Kilda 2010 vibes.

Delidio running laps have a dirty old squiz.

Training was underwhelming.

A heap of blokes missing.

Sheezel is the best. The rest still eating crayons with their noses.

[DarkPhoenix]

Had a feeling log would bounce back. Hopefully translates on field.

Yep they were running when I arrived, when went straight into the rooms I didn’t see them again, I did leave at 10:30.

Don’t read to much into what I wrote it’s the first time I have seen them, hopefully they come together as the season gets closer.

Sheezel off with a suspected knee injury by the looks

What an absolute cochhead you are.

 

[CBSlogger]

Just joking he's fine and I touched wood as I typed it

Nah not cool man!

 

[giantroo]

 

[toepoker]

stupid Jy, clearly been slacking off

 

[r00boy96]

I didn't see Duursma out there, maybe I missed him or he's doing another program

Be very careful what you post RB96, I once posted something about Tina Turner and the next day she was dead.

Urquhart is huge for a 19 year old

 

[giantroo]

 

[spicerFanClub]

Am I right that Duursma didn't run it? Hopefully just because he's put a heap of k's into the legs and not another injury...

I was there for most of the session from the start. Honestly thought skills were fairly reasonable where I was.

Things I looked out for…

FOS seems noticeably bigger for me. Moves very smooth. In a hand ball drill his side step and honestly class just really shines.

Matlock foot skills actually very good. Does look abit bigger.

Banch was a standout in terms of conditioning looks very locked in whatever that means.

Goater was in contact for drills. Looking sharp for a guy that has missed so much footy.

RHJ got on the end of a couple of the transition practice drills. Abit surprised as not my highest rating.

Transitioning drill was designed for the offence to move the ball well. Probably why it appeared like poor defence. Player getting screamed at wasn’t Dawson I did see Chom getting yelled at though. He didn’t follow Darling across the ground correctly— in fairness that is why we do these drills and it’s November.

Goad got a lot of praise for digging in to break up a transition play. Hopefully another level.

New guys out there for a short time doing springs. Thredgold has the weakest tank by the look of it. Dovoston leading everything. His kicking on afew drills was noticeably sharp for me.

Curtis is just a core of muscle with a footballer wrapped around it. People look at the guns all the time, but that trunk is why he is such a difficult player to match up on.
