It's mandatory. All AFL clubs have to do the same. I think our boys will be fine. Selections for Round 1 will be tight - nobody is going to do the wrong thing and jeopardise not making the team because of it.Back on pre season training . Is it normal practice to have three weeks off at Xmas? Might be my bad memory but didn't think it was that long in previous years .
There is some really nice content on the website...and a nice interview with Belly. I really think he's the best appointment we've made for a long time.

As per AFL.com.au Ross said, "We need players to come back, with good weight, skin folds and an ability to run so they can pick up a footy straight away." This may be a stupid question, but can someone please shed some light on what the he11 is a skin fold? I've never heard anyone talk about that in American sports. I'm assuming it's like a BMI (body mass index) indicator? How do you actually measure skin folds?
Yeh?

Maybe he's excited by what he's seen so far of the pre-season as to what that could bring for the season ahead and really doesn't want to let that slip.Does anyone remember Ross airing concerns about the playing group staying on track over the 3 week Xmas break before?
Is this simply because it’s a younger playing group or is It an opportunity to put a tacit warning on the public record? Was it aimed at all or a few in particular?

It's basically where the skin is pulled away from the muscles at specific locations and a caliper is put on the skin to see how much skin and fat there is between the callipers in mm.
This data is punched into a software program and a BF% is determined.
You're right, whenever you hear them talking about their skinfold numbers in press work, this is to what they were referring.AFL clubs don't usually bother converting it into BF% though, they just use the raw number.
From memory a lot of clubs set their expected standard at <50mm for the sum of 7.
LOL, it was meant to be taking the piss out of that Skyrim meme not personal.Yeh?
Don't be too concerned. Lyon also said the best way to learn is to teach, which implies the experienced players are also learning.I’m concerned that the established players are teaching the Freo game plan. I was hoping they were going away to discuss a NEW game plan
<8% or GTFO
So the culture within the group was quite strong, now we don't have as many experienced guys around flying the right flag the club, leadership group etc need to ingrain that same single minded attitude towards commitment to their career as professional athletes.
