So I heard there were some training reports?
Yesterday there were a few, not much really happens on Tuesdays though. I do appreciate your obvious disdain for the off-topic shite though :thumbsu:

When we get the reports tomorrow I may tidy it up a little, I strongly recommend the hashtag filter though.

If you follow the hashtag #ffcpreseason and unwatch the thread you'll only be alerted whenever a report is posted, really is the way to go.

I heard Sylvia punched a baby, clubbed a seal and secretly supports the weagles. What a campaigner.
I wish you lot would just stick to the facts. He clubbed the baby, punched the seal and does not support the egirls but did spend the night with a well known former coach.

I went to training this morning too Coulda, and can't agree with you regarding de Boer. His kicking was a little loopy, but he wasn't indecisive in the practice drills I saw. With Crowley unseen in the preseason, I can see de Boer taking a midfield role early on.
There weren't too many stand outs ( in a positive way) in the drills. Even Walters with his different coloured shoes tried to baulk and weave before delivering the ball. Crozier made some good long passes, and Taberner looked very impressive, running off his man. Although Taberner was playing on Moller for a while, so it might not be saying too much.
Fyfe looked awesome in the drills, Mundy had better muscle definition than I remember, and McPharlin seemed very fit. Grey got a bake because he took a bounce before passing it in to a leading forward, who had now been covered. Duffy still tries to do too much, but he has self belief.
I watched on the other side of the oval to the club rooms, so may have seen different stuff.

And I think others have predicted Sylvia's demise at the end of the season well before this episode, Coulda. We need confirmation about the skinfolds, tragic if true.
De Boers first effort in the forwards verses backs at the Hospital end of the ground Matt started with the ball in hand and took forever to pass the ball and turned it over . He didn't improve much as the session went on neither did much of the group where upon RTB called everyone in and gave them a good dressing down .

Learnt what ?
That is the question here. Nothing has been said by the club.
It is a ******* rumour.
The groundsman has prepared the oval for Pre Season training for years and over the last 3 years we get to talk quite a bit . He has no axe to grind and when he says that the first year players at the beginning of their AFL careers are running rings around a senior player then questions will be and are being asked what The F**K is going on .
Col I believe had surgery at the end of last season and before xmas was tracking OK so you have to ask what was he doing over the break to come back in such poor shape and not be putting in the same effort .
I'm going to training tomorrow so I'll ask some questions and hope to have some answers .

Posters have previously been criticised here for reporting that everything is rosy and players are training better than ever before ,that RTB is the best coach and we are so more professional than ever in our history .
I for one agreed with those posts .
The training session on Monday was one of the WORST that I have witnessed and if that is how the players are going to train this year we are in for a very long and sad season .
In saying that I don't believe that this club , RTB, Bond or the assistant coaches will be happy and the players will be told that that is unacceptable .
There were very few standout performers so I would expect a vast improvement or else RTB will be like a bear with a sore tooth looking for revenge .

I love how grown men fail to entertain a notion that an infamously lazy footballer, at 29, is stacking on weight.

"It just doesn't happen!!!!"

Considering footballers have robbed their team mates while they're out training, that players have rocked up to training still gurning from the night before, when a Premiership winning team had its best players into meth and bikies, when an entire 100-plus-year old club made all their players use performance enhancing jokes, how is Col Sylvia putting on weight some ludicrous and impossible story?

Ross Lyon is not a miracle worker. I reckon we'll find that out this season.
