Training 2019 Training - pics, reports etc

[HARKER]

The lack of tape on the players in that full gallery is striking if you have been watching Carlton players for the last however many years.

Elastoplast has been sakced.

Good observation.
Maybe even an important fact.

optimism is a guarded emotion here

Resilience/optimism was tested after Docherty's incident, but the dawn of a new season brings newfound hope.

 

[Blue and Blue]

Have a look at Murph....a veritable Crusader Tank with Rolls Royce engine

The stir crazy period between the start of the Oz Open tennis and the 1st JLT is nearly over with Plow lol.

It's always the best time to take a lil BigFooty break imo

[Brutalitops]

Hows the house looking? Has it been trained down yet?

 

[Lace_Out]

The house has been trained down for so long now it has been heritage listed.

On SM-G965F using BigFooty.com mobile app

If Jack Russell started a weight loss company he'd be rich.

I can't get over the change in body shape of Ed & Murphy. They really bulked up their upper bodies and looked like hulks. Big shoulders, chest etc. Now they are lean and still look strong. Incredible change in 10-12 weeks.

Both are in for big years IMO, Running on top of the ground and haven't missed a beat

 

[Funk]

I’m not sure anyone does. GPs numbers last year suggested we were covering almost the same amount of ground as our opposition last year and that was a team full on injured players and kids, plus playing tall.
Look back to last preseason and we were all talking about the huge improvements in size and fitness of players like McKay, Curnow, Weitering. If I look at someone like Cripps and see the transformation he made to his body than I don’t think everything could’ve been a disaster before hand.
Again I’m not questioning Russell but it’s not like Hawthorn had some sort of peerless fitness and strength.

During 2018 games we got slaughtered in the last 5 minutes of quarters and last 15 minutes of the game.

Improved fitness alone will have a huge impact on outcomes this year.

I expect we’ll only win 5-7 games - but we’ll be more competitive in more games and our losing margins will be much smaller.

kick through the ball setters, ffs........

Setters kick it to Setters who kicks a goal.

[Dadda Dave]

Just saw a video of our mids highlights on YouTube..
Plenty of love for those blokes ..
They will tear the comp apart in due course imo.

 

[Soapy V]

Not much talk about Dow but he looks great. He and Walsh really pushing each other and a lot of similarities. GUN

 

[Soapy V]

Wow, that photo of Ben Silvagni tackling Ed Curnow is awesome. For a kid in his first pre-season, he looks massive!

I think we stole one there

Go watch Dow O'Brien Walsh Setterfield SPS Stocker Fisher individually and they look stars. Put them all together..........................

I can see buckets of improvement all over the park .
I'm sticking my neck out and tipping 9 wins ..
Not sure where there coming from but they're coming !!

Not bad for pick 70.
