Training 2019/20 Preseason Training

[Ok Boomer]

I have no concerns about Nic at all.

I do think dropping a couple of kgs would help his knees and general mobility, but you don't want to sacrifice power either.

 

[Shuestar13]

Well that line was certainly open to interpretation

 

[SloppyJoe]

I like brick shithouse Nic better tbh.

any training updates?

 

[BlueandGoldforever]

That's disappointing.

He is clearly wearing something under his jumper.

Or he may have been breathing out at the precise moment the photo was taken.

You can see padding.

Been to Buddy's tailor?

From this training pic there is nothing to worry about with Nic. Just a bad angle with the previous pic. Maybe he was taking a deep breath in when it was taken? Who knows.

Honestly, if you can’t see the outline of padding underneath you need your eyes checked.

Hey........ I'm with you B&G!

Funnily enough, I was just on Specsavers' page making an appointment to get my eyes checked!!! How did you know? (True story)

So he was much thinner when he was 20., just like the entire population on earth. He has an AFL body now, probably lifts double the amount.

*, this is news to me..

I did say anything. Just put a video of Nic dominating.

As is normal for these open training sessions it was pretty low key so not a lot to report on to be honest.

• Hickey, Sheed and Yeo were all no shows. Shuey also did very little
• As has been mentioned Gov worked away from the main group doing some running and not much else
• Likewise Allen, Vardy and Ah Chee worked with fitness staff
• Naitanui did the warmup exercises then disappeared, possibly to get his ubereats order
• First year players trained but sat out some drills. Main thing I noticed was how small Ben Johnson is. Mo’neill I only spotted at the end standing on the boundary so not sure if he was involved earlier but I don’t think so
• Brady grey trained with the main group. Didn’t see Reid. Pihckett wasn’t there
• Barrass did most of the session and looks to have recovered well. He’s certainly ahead of Gov
• Could be a breakout year for Rotham. Had a taste last year and looks more assured like he believes he belongs
• Nelson is training really strongly. Seems determined to push himself at every opportunity
• Liking the development of Williams. Long way to go before the season starts but he’s be a smoky for a round 1 debut
• Watching Brander collect balls below his knees at pace it’s easy to forget he’s ~195cm. Very clean
• Watched Ainsworth for a bit hoping to see something that I could use to dispel arguments that he’s not very good. Didn’t see anything. Given time and space he can hit targets by foot no problems but as soon as he has to rush his kicking action lets him down
• The ease with which Jetta kicks to someone >40m away is a thing of beauty
• Kennedy also did most of the session
• Kelly looks to be settling in well

Thanks for the report mate. So you watched Bubba pretty closely. Has his kicking improved at all? Is his hand still under the ball or is it more to the side/top? Are his kicks more penetrating? Which drills were you watching him do? Does he seem fit? Covering the ground well? What was going wrong with his kicks when he was under pressure that you allude to?

Just on Johnson, I noticed hes pretty slim in the upper body, but (if I was looking at the right guy) he has pretty powerfully built legs no?

[Dark Sharks]

How is it, that the fake training report from 2017 which has been posted 100 times, is still more exciting than our actual proper sessions in 2020?

 

[BigBirdz]

What's the chance of you posting that gif and the same episode being on last night?
