2020 HFC Pre Season Training

it's not the blunt force impact to the head that matters, the headgear only stops the bruising/bleeding to the impact point. It doesn't help at all when it comes to how much the brain moves inside the skull and its impact with the inner cavity. If that makes sense.....

It does make sense.

The brain kinda needs a seat-belt & the skull needs internal airbags. Then, the brain won't rattle around hard, bouncing off the inside of the skull.

As you say, a helmet protects the external (& certainly wouldn't hurt the inside), but it won't stop the internal rattle caused by impact & inertia.

 

[flinchfree]

Ahh, the gene gods.
WHY DID YOU FORSAKE ME SO?

 

[threesixpio]

I hope the group is ready for the heat up here.....Its been damn hot

Seriously feels like another country in Vic at the moment. Have had mild even cold weather pretty constantly and even rain. Feel for you up north

Yep, which will take another million years of evolution.

The truth of the matter is the human body wasn't designed to play 360 degree impact sports like footy. It was designed primarily for straight line running.

IMO hard NFL style helmets may actually lead to more concussions than if NFL players were wearing no helmets.

-soft AFL/Rugby style helmets I reckon probably help a bit through softening impacts slightly, and causing less forceful hits with less brain movement in the skull.

The weather I can handle, as for being surrounded by Queensland .......

Yeah ...that’s an issue I’m sure

 

[MrPremiership]

Kosi isn't as fast as Chip, and there aren't any FB in the league that would beat Chip over 20m.

But Kosi is quick enough to play the role

But can he defend and what’s his disposal like. To be honest I haven’t seen much of him.

Can defend, disposal is serviceable. Can take a good mark and is quick enough.

Time will tell if he's good enough

Sounds like he’ll be a totally different player to Chip then which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Hopefully he gets a debut soon

 

[I got the outside word]

I’m not saying that I NEED a training report, I can quit them any time I want..

 

[Brant]

I’m not crying. It’s just really dusty. You’re crying...

 

[MasterSamurai]

I didn’t come here to check on Axeman’s training report, nah , no way, devil may care as far as I’m concerned.

 

[The_Axeman]

I’m on holiday in Tassie with the Family. Back in Melb next week.

 

[Goldhawk]

I’m on holiday in Tassie with the Family. Back in Melb next week.

Enjoy your holiday in Tassie, can you give us a report on the ground condition at UTAS stadium

Nathan Burke always wore a helmet and so did Dunstall for a short while, if nothing else they probably protect against cut eyebrows.

Who the f##k approved that ?!

Jeebus, work commitments, family holidays, wtf.

You sound like an imposter. I demand you return the real The_Axeman pronto

Does this mean The_Axeman is getting the chop... I’ll let myself out

Updates from Smith and Bruest on training:

"Pepper is a hard nut. He loves to tackle"

"Day has been stepping a lot of the forwards"

"Patton is very mobile and a great field kick. He said he is 3kg lighter than normal. He has to work on his leading patterns to fit into our plan".

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Thought Patton had lost more than 3kg.

 

[Mojo]

Thought Patton had lost more than 3kg.

Yeah, apparently he's lost several kg's over the past few months. Perhaps he's lost more since pre-season started?

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Yeah, apparently he's lost several kg's over the past few months. Perhaps he's lost more since pre-season started?

He's looking massive in the picture, hopefully you're right though.

 

[Mitchell54]

Yeah, apparently he's lost several kg's over the past few months. Perhaps he's lost more since pre-season started?

Whatever is the case I'm sure the conditioning and fitness staff have him on the right plan.
