Training 2025 Training reports & Updates.

[JOELY]

Probably not but they lose the ability for repeat efforts over and over. Their opponents would pick up on it and run you into the ground. The overall fitness wouldn't lose much.

The other thing, as my physio likes to put in really simple terms for my dumb arse, if you aren't doing as much, and then you suddenly ramp up doing a lot more, this is when you get hurt. So i imagine thats something to weigh up with Bobby having so little match play and inconsistent training for a while now.
Fans and AFL media tend to be a little anti-sports science, but if Bobby plays off little preparation does an injury early that puts us on the back foot in an important game, its the fitness staff who'll be looked at.

 

[Bramax]

Yep, me too.

I think it’s a “non-negotiables” issue.
Bobby has had some personal issues that would affect most people with any level of empathy. It’s messed him up understandably.
I’m only guessing but I think that’s led to some no shows at training and until he earns his stripes over a couple of weeks demonstrating that he’s fully committed to the cause, then he won’t be named.
I can see this could be a Fly Team ethos.
I’m going to go out on a limb and predict he will play this week against Melbourne.
Go Bobby and Go the Pies.

The sudden high intensity would put you at risk of snapping a few things

Perhaps less so when built like a whippet?

Let the player spotting games begin!

Bobby?
Howe?
DeGoey?

It pains me, but I feel pretty comfortable in assuming Bobby won’t be there today.

 

[granniewolf]

Thanks Boss - maybe I can reinstate my gym membership!

Why not just let him pay it for you

 

[LuckyLee]

Any updates? The suspense is killing me!

 

[yeah man]

Bobby apparently not at training. Oh dear lol

Oh ffs!

 

[satty]

God we have enough form issues to worry about, hope this Bobby situation isn’t becoming a distraction for the team.

 

[yeah man]

Assuming this reporter isn't bullshitting.

I will pay for it. We are always looking for new doctors grannie, we don't have NSW covered

 

[Jen2310]

I've been training with google since 1998, before that was alta vista

Welcome to Manics Medical Centres

 

[No SPIN]

Cox and Macrae will soon be added to that list

At the rate Macrae has been improving there may be a change of sentiment.
Especially given our mid stocks

 

[No SPIN]

It's always easier as a player like Keane to have good support around you, he still is a clumsy footballer but a tad better than what we currently have I dare say as the 3rd banana in defence..

He is an ELITE athlete for his size - which was evident from his days at Coll. He just needed to learn the game.

 

[Jen2310]

Ash Johnson in full training?

Yeah, he was there

 

[Jen2310]

Is Harvey Harrison still training?

Yup he did some running and was with the forward group

 

[LuckyLee]

At the rate Macrae has been improving there may be a change of sentiment.
Especially given our mid stocks

We have plenty of very capable mids - we're just not playing them in there. Naicos, Jaicos, DeGoey, Crisp, Perryman, Long, Pendlebury, Sidebottom, McCreery, Houston. You could even throw in Elliott and Schultz.

I can't imagine Macrae being preferred over any of those dozen players. He's an accumulator but has no great weapons, speed or X-factor. Macrae's not going to move the needle at all in terms of our Finals chances.
