Training 2025 Training Updates | Standards are… TBC

[Ashley B]

Sheez spoke in detail about this when asked by Dwayne Russell on their last segment for 2024 together.

All players have an individual plan mapped out during their AFLPA agreed time off, and all are doing it while maintaining contact with the club and updating their training results.

My individual plan involves taking selfies on my bmx at exotic locations says Stevo lol

You have no idea what any training any player is doing on a daily basis.

Not a single one.

Very true and neither do you. The proof will be in the pudding come round one though. And it was clear in the season just gone that a lot of players weren't fit enough at round 1 as we got blown off the park week after week. Not Xerri and Sheezel though - they were ready at the start of the season and it's well documented how professional they are.

We are a basket case.. our footy team is the biggest bunch of payments ever.. we are cooked..

I was hoping I ran into Luke and Jy at the guineas today., i did run into Billy Brownless at the points beg marquee

You need to learn to handle your liquor.

Don't get smashed and post on the internet, kids. You'll just look like a fool.

I think getting upset about what training players are doing in the middle of October is a tad OTT.

I think denying that players look disinterested, unfit and lackadaisical in pre-season games also needs to stop.

Agree, it really only matters if players are ready for round 1 (season proper) and can sustain that effort throughout the season. What we do know is that in the last few years, a handful of players have been properly ready, but quite a few more haven't been.

Sounds simple but remember…….it’s always “beer o’clock” somewhere in the world at any given time.

……or, for marklovesbeer particularly, it’s always “beer o’clock”!

Young Archer looks to be matching PC, not only with the lift but in physique.

Not sure if stalking is allowed in here too (edit: just saw the thread title doh), but Darcy in the crowd at the MCG watching the runners finishing the Melb Mara yesterday. Misso took the photo (I was finishing too) but she wasn’t 100% sure of his name

Is it weird that Lachie Hansen is wearing a Bombers’s hat?

No reason that every player couldn't come back 3-5kg heavier (muscle mass, not kebabs) in our offseason, this won't impact running capacity providing the correct programs are implemented.

Xerri +5kg is scary
Archer +5kg is dangerous
Chom +5kg...
Kerch +3kg keeping the same speed is another level of output
etc etc etc

Sheez is so committed to gains he's had Eric Wallace's arm grafted on!

Either that or he's been hooning around driving the Range Rover doing laps up and down the main street of Abu Dhabi with the window down.

5kg of muscle mass in six weeks is absolutely absurd mate

September, October, November, December, January, February & March...

Even then for trained athletes that's pretty huge, you're talking 2+ years of bodybuilder gains without having to balance running

* were able to do it

 

[Themanbun]

* were able to do it

* took something that shouldn't even be banned IMO and it doesn't really grow muscle. You'd need to be pumping proper PEDs to make the gains we're talking about.

West Coast in 91 came back from preseason as cyborgs.
