Which is really a stupid rule. They are an employee of the club and the club has modern, state-of-the-art facilities for training. They should be allowed to train there ad-nauseum. It's even smarter to do this during a pandemic.

They can go in as much as they want. This isn't the NFL. The only rule enforced by the AFLPA revolves around how much time off a player gets. What the player does in that time is entirely up to them.

They're also eating for performance during the season (and preseason). Which means trying to eat at a deficit to strip fat would affect their energy levels and training capacity.

Shame the plumbing will be a disaster and the ceiling will cave in.

I know its probably been shown elsewhere but when do the boys get back into training?
Jan 10th I think.
G'day folks,
How is Fyfe's shoulder progressing, do you see him playing round 1?
Fantastic value in AFL Fantasy if fit.
Cheers.

Fyfe has retired from Fantasy Football - it was a great shock to all of us.
Taberner has said that Treacy trains as hard as he does. Te idea of having someone with Tabs work ethic but far better football skills is pretty exciting.
Yeah that’s all good but this year will still be a s**t show regarding the footy.

Team, I know its hard to find the line between preseason and covid when one can impact the other but lets do our best to keep this one free of COVID talk unless we see it have a direct impact on the club (it hasnt yet). Let the thread be a place just to talk strictly Freo and where everyone can avoid a topic shoved in their faces almost every minute of the day
If you think your post is leaning into talking a bit more COVID then Freo, then you know its down the wrong path and take it to a diff thread

Given that it’s almost impossible to tell, then it must be Valente..
My Buddy til the end of 2021
I agree preseason is too long, but poor comparison to NBA Craig - they have an 8 month+ season, so of course they have a shorter preseason than AFL!
Add 4-6 weeks to our season and cut at least that long off preseason - I’m all for that. Would even up the fixture too. Also to help with fatigue and injuries they should consider reducing game length slightly.
Darren Burgess being featured in that article reminded me that Phil Merriman joined the club as high performance manager at the end of 2020... previously he worked under Darren Burgess at Melbourne, who was the high performance manager who helped Melbourne win their flag in 2021. Just sayin'

Burgess and Weber are pretty tight too.

Wow didn't see that coming, that puts an interesting spin on Merriman replacing Weber. I was hoping that Merriman would have picked up alot of knowledge from Burgess, but it turns out it would be the same knowledge that Weber had. Not sure what I think of that...
Weird article. Mundy injury may have happened at training this time, last time it happened being a Dad.
In the end, if their is an advantage in giving players a longer break clubs will do that, yet they don't seem to be choosing that.
I would be happier with a longer season though. Playing is way better than training.

I like that. Some good points raised. I mean, if you're a fitness junkie, surely it's not detrimental if it's lifestyle incorporated?
Decision making is the key.
Weber made very bad decisions, on the other hand it might have been Lyon gamestyle and pressure to being back players too early.

Opening this thread keen for optimistic reports only to find Covid discussion in the non Covid thread.
