Training Training reports 2024

[Bren]

Speaking of pre-season performances has anyone been down to Arden St lately to check out the new turf? Has it been training the house down?
More seriously, it will be good to have it back in use soon.

they were mowing last week

 

[The Nostradamus]

back at Arden st 5th Feb. Ground might still have the temp fences up though.

Good to hear
Seems like they have been given one last mini break (4 day weekend) before the season stats

So Wednesday is the last ever session at la trobe

Yep, mini break... basically one session off.

 

[Colby Cheer Squad]

Wtf? Are you joking around?

He has to justify his pay cheque somehow. The more interesting question might be, what is he holding over Essendon to force them to maintain his pay cheque despite being replaced in his job?

 

[Val Keating]

Unreal hey,
Recon Biggie has a 5x$800k being drawn up as we speak.

Could’ve just been there to see how the best coach in the AFL is approaching the season

 

[Gasometer]

If you saw him why didn’t you wander over for a chat

Don’t have to be a clown about it, just have a chat

The new turf is the first to arrive and the last to leave.

Really up and about, and covers the ground well I heard. Likely to get a run in preseason, but will only feature in the VFl.

 

[The Talent Scout]

How do I say this….

I am more of an aperol girlie

You like an Italian Botanical liqueur?

Sorry if I come across as a dick, but there’s a random thread for debate’s about stuff like Australia Day. Just saying maybe take that discussion there and keep this one about how our preseason is going.

There last evening.

Temporary fences are still up and the turf looks dry - even with the sprinklers going.

Otherwise looks good and shouldn't be far away.

 

[The Warlord]

Using the term snowflake when the way you use it makes it evident that you don't even know what it means. LOL.

What do you think it means?

100% spot on. You are just saying what most are thinking.

I spend more time scrolling through threads than reading them lately, because most of them get hijacked by random crap that has nothing to do with the thread.

I understand that there will always be a level of s**t posting in every thread, but it would be nice with a thread like this where people who can’t get to training like to read on the teams progress, that it gets kept to a minimum.

Fundamentally, BigFooty is about oversharing - that’s what it is … and so this gatekeeping the discourse is, in a sense, more oversharing!

Also - regarding the Australia Day debate - I am glad my club are activists and not a bunch of lame arse pacifists

I overshare !

Last evening. Casual stroll for me.

Temporary fences are still up and the turf looks parched to me - even with the sprinklers going.

Would have been mowed recently - as they left cuttings accross it.

Why they mowing?

 

[ferball]

Both he and Phillips put space between themselves and the warlord out of stoppage on several occasions.

Phillips looked like he runs a 2:9something bursting out of centre clearances for the first clearance in each of the first 3 qrts

Pretty sure he did run 2.9 at his combine trials. GR posted a result from a 100m race somewhere a few years ago and his 100m time was in the 11s range. Schoolboys race too not an adult time.

You're *en kidding!!!

I was gonna be in melbourne on Friday and was looking forward to watching training.

I blame all you campaigners crapping on about Invasion Day for this!

 

[RobZombie]

I agree, recognising everyone's feelings/history is important. I'm not sure how many indigenous people we have making decisions at board level.

So you’re saying your feelings that it’s nice to have a long weekend at a convenient time during the summer and celebrate the establishment of the noble Australian tradition of setting up inhumane offshore detention centres in the pacific are more important than the feelings of the first Australians, whose society was turned upside down that day?

Personally I would change 26 Jan to multicultural day.
Australia Day can go somewhere else
It's the day we became multicultural.

I mowed the lawn today

 

[Colby Cheer Squad]

I mowed the lawn today

My lawnmower is in the shop and has been for 3 weeks. My neighbour mowed his nature strip today despite it being bowling green length already as he only mowed it a week ago and I'm sure he did it just to make me look bad. Are you my neighbour?
