Analysis 2021 trade thread

[lioninthesand]

I heard a player talking about Kobe doing this. (Forget who it was). He went to the gym and Kobe had already been there for an hour. Other bloke trained for an hour and a half and when he left Kobe was still there working his butt off. When he saw Kobe next he asked him why he stayed in the gym for so long after he had gone? Kobe said because I saw you come in and I wanted to let u know that I was prepared to work harder than you and anyone else. Mindset of an absolute champion.

Yeah the sports science guys and the AFLPA killed this approach haha

 

[lioninthesand]

huh?

I feel like we have been over this about 50 times on here. I believe they spend roughly 2 hours a week on the training track, during the season, might even be less. A couple of 50 minute sessions and a captains run? Danny Daly did an interview a couple of years ago where he spoke about how little time players actually work on skills during the season. It was under 2 hours from memory.

I was concerned we'd be left with 54 and 60 and nothing to gain from them, so I'm glad we were able to get something for next year.

Yeah we are doing much better this year with our late pick trading.

 

[briztoon]

Well we’ve now got a full set of picks for next year, so trading our future first round pick is back in play.

I am happy to see this across the whole club. I said multiple times this year that I think we had an meh off season last year and it showed, our conditioning was average. I think it was mainly due to COVID and the short break but still - I hoped to see ‘extras’ again this year. A couple of years ago the guys were getting together in the park to play scratch matches and do training session on their own accord, if people recall?

I am massive on ‘extras’ in pro sports- I think it is what separates the best from the rest. It’s not enough of a thing in the AFL.

Forwards used to get hundreds of shots on goal in their own time, they can’t now because of sports science.

Kobe Bryant would hire a highschool gym or facility in most cities and get up shots on his day off when on the road. He also made sure he was always last in the gym. So if someone else stayed back, he would stay back with them. He is an extreme example of coarse.

I’m not saying they ‘should’ or it’s bad if they don’t, I know their is a huge focus on ‘down time’ and ‘golf’ these days but they only train like 2 hours a week - it’s hardly long enough to fully excel in your field.

I will likely get shot down for this haha but I do look at a guy like J Berry and think - imagine if he put half of the the 5 hours a week he puts into golf, into close hands work, 1 hour a week with a running coach and extra skills sessions.

Anyway, love seeing extras - it’ll be the difference.

Is there a rare sighting of the Endangered Ely Smith?

 

[jjami15]

Call me sceptical but I believe they are just doing their off-season programs. When one is talking about extras it is above what they are expected to do.

Hey, yep I haven’t yet but I will - as I said, I’m really happy to see how hard the group are working as a collective this year prior to training restart. Straight sets stings.

To be clear, from what I’ve seen/heard this group have done solid extras routinely throughout the last 3-4 years, there’s no issue there.

Good to know Fages is putting in the extra miles during pre-season training at least

Might have a breakout year at the club in 2022 I say if he keeps it up

How do you know they are just doing their off-season programs and not extra's? Is there a clue in the pic that tells you that?

No, I was referring to that it came across as that they were doing their off-season program.

I have taken two other things from Robbo's videos:

1. JBerry probably shouldnt go the media career after football. He seems to freeze up a little everytime they put the camera on him. Its kinda hilarious to see
2. Fullerton is the opposite and comes across as a great communicator to the camera.

I wouldn't take much from Robbo's video's period. I love his passion & the way he plays the game of AFL but seriously not a full box of chocolates.

Just because he sees the world differently to a staid perspective, don't pigeon hole Robbo. Very smart bloke, actually.

That’s a bit rough.

Was actually more informative and entertaining than some of the official vids. And he'd clearly put a lot of effort into it.

Robbo is not as silly as some think. Just because he enjoys living life and clowns around a bit, doesn't mean he isn't 'a full box of chocolates'.

There was one the other day where I think Bez did a double or triple backflip off some rocks maybe 5 or 10 metres up.

Im the same. Its a short little slice of life into what they do, but also its much more unfiltered so more slips through. A lot of the official stuff can be overly managed at times

I dont take it overly serious at all, as I know its Robbo (and his friends) having a bit of fun. But I do enjoy it

Dam straight.
I've had some stiffs think I was a bit stupid because I always had a smile on my face.
I can tell you now , well only lastnight the computer rated me as having the brain of a 87 year old when it beat me in checkers.
So yeah not brain dead.
Any way I let the computer beat me cause I was going to bed.
I was very tired okay.

Ummm. You mean Robbo's video with three of the boys doing a backflip on soft sand from a sand bank about one meter high?
