Training 2022 Training Reports

[Silversurfer]

Acres miles out front of the rest. Tough finish to the session...20 odd 100m run through with quick turn around in 36°

Over n out

 

[Silversurfer]

Chappy looks absolutely monstrous...

Edit: Love your work Silversurfer - particularly with the Ashes on at the moment!

All good...im listening to it too. Oi Oi Oi

Half court defensive exits drills.

So practicing bombing it out of defence to the opposition, gotcha.

Haha, but no. Handballs and precision kicking. Pretty impressive skills for so early on.

A few observations outside of main training.
Boys love LeCras. He worked one on one with a few guys in the pocket. Shooter practising his around the corner from boundary line listened to every word.
Boyd is a tough Buggar. Didn’t take any crap in any drills he was in charge of.
Guys respect though. Also He worked for about 15 mins with Johnston and Erasmus on their tackling skills. Graham already made an difference with goal kicking at least at training.
At his end boys kicked 40.16 with everyone having 2 shots.
Only new injury was Treacy. Doesn’t seem too serious. Came out of main group complaining of left groin strain and went to the rehab running group, with Fyfe, Shooter, Wilson, Freddy, Aish, Amiss, and few others. Fyfe looks amazing.
Tabs and Pearse did some kicking before and after but spent most of the session in the weights room.
Valente seemed in good spirits.

Who ended up missing both shots?

Great report...just made a minor tweak.

Brayshaw. He has a terrible technique. Bent knee at point of contact

edit. Hope Yyou doesn’t see that.

All the boys now walking around Freo getting coffee and lunch.

Bringing Wednesday training to Freo is a master stroke for team culture. Well done!

 

[E Shed]

Cheers for reporting & pics. If they keep having Wednesday in Freo I’ll be down when I get back from holiday after Xmas.

I've literally taken the day off next Wednesday, mainly so I can watch a session

Brutal repeat run throughs with 30 second recovery period. Acres leading the way...

I seem to recall a post or article which claimed the benefits of training in the heat were akin to training at altitude.

Does anyone know?

 

[Channels]

I wouldn't have thought there is a physical benefit from training in heat, altitude definitely in terms of the oxygen available.

Perhaps the benefit is more in building mental fortitude.

As with Gav, I do recall Burgess training Port in heat and him saying it has the same benefits.

It'll help in the early rounds when we're playing Vic teams on a sweltering Sunday arvo game at Optus

 

[theGav56]

Thanks Bender!

Interesting stuff.

 

[Wray27]

So with utter respect to snuff i tried to get something for his “Adventures” stories. I was sitting in the Sth Freo member stand watching the boys when Belly came out. Had a bit of a chat and then he went back inside. So I thought stuff it. “Hey Belly. Huge favour! any chance you would have you photo taken with your collar popped”
Explained why and he thought it was funny but respectfully declined.
Worth a try

 

[gaskin]

You should have asked for one with him wearing his hat with multiple feathers in it.

 

[FreoRicci]

I just think Amiss is still a kid, who hasn't played against men and needs to be given a little time - this was evident when he went body on body against Pearce in training on Monday. He is certainly not a manchild like Treacy. Still think he will be a very good player.

Gold Coast desperately needed talls after Tom lynch leaving and a few others. Playing King fast track his development.
Amiss isn’t coming into the same environment. Treacy and Sturt can provide cover for Tabs and Lobb. It’s a good thing

The Alabama Football League?

 

[Dockeroo]

Id agree that Amiss should play some senior footy this year. Pretty much all top 10 picks play at some stage in year one. I’m sure he’ll get 3 or 4 games at some point during the season at the very least
