Underdone players

[Enviable Tradition]

There seem to be quite a few in out team underdone at the moment. I'm.not balming march committee because we really don't have anyone to replace them but maybe we need to give a little grace to some of these players while they find full fitness or AFL match fitness.

There are those that had injuries or limited pre seasons.

JHF
Wines
Bergman
Jones
Luko

And those who have played limited AFL football

Whitlock
Lai
Mackinlay
Watkins
Zadow
 
They should mostly get better as the season goes on.

Luko has been in the afl system 8? Years now? Looks like he’s never lifted a weight in his career.

Luko has been in the afl system 8? Years now? Looks like he’s never lifted a weight in his career.

It’s a waste of obvious talent and speaks to his lack of determination to be the best he can be. Just hasn’t hit the gym hard enough.

 

[PortAdelFC1997]

It has been mentioned by Chad that Lukosius wasn't the biggest fan of gym work.

I heard he leaked to Gerard Healy that Aliir is from Sudan

Rozee, Bergman and mead are the only ones who look like they take their strength conditioning seriously.

Probably just hated being in the gym with ChadBro.

Chad Cornes said that 'Connor and Buttsy are not big gym enthusiasts;

Compared our leaders to crows leaders regarding gym

I think you’re being a little generous.
Wines has been around a long time, he knows what is expected. He skipped trial games for “personal reasons”
Jones isn’t “underdone” as such, he always plays 1 or 2 games and gets injured(annoying because he always breaks when he starts to lose his fumbles and starts to play well, then starts again).
Luko appears to be made of paper mache. Again he’s been around long enough to know the expectations.
Bergman doesn’t look unfit or anything he is just woefully out of form compared to last season.
JHF I’ll give you as his foot issue has obviously hampered him.

The young guys get a bit more leeway but these older guys have all been around long enough to be setting a better example.

 

[It Just Is]

Underdone or unfit? I think we have a bit of both is we are being honest.

The gulf in conditioning between us and West Coast last week is all the more worrying when seeing them against Sydney’s finely tuned pros.

To be fair to wines he wasn’t allowed to play in the trials because he was suspended I believe

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

I actually thought Luko was decent today

Not first round pick decent, but serviceable

 

[PortAdelFC1997]

JHF still looks underdone. His kicks still lacks penetration. I noticed it when he was lining up for goal both times. The kicks were loopy and lacked a bit of oomph.

Liked his last qtr. Showed a bit of hunger.

Watching it live he was actually running hard for once.

Maybe he just couldnt match it in the big cums department

It was well noted that our fitness/strength & conditioning was well under league standards under Hinkley.

It is why we made off-season changes in this department, however it is physically impossible to close that delta in one pre-season.

We hired Tim Parham from the Crows to address this exactly - and it was noted that prior to him coming across, the Crows were at the end of a 4 year program to get to where they are.

Add Tom Cochrane with an 8+ week hammy injury just after the players returned from their Christmas break.

And lived in a sedan

No no no.

He's from Sedan. Spent years fishing out Port Wakefield with him.
