Training 2026 Preseason

[largebus]

His 2024 AA was even worse than Battle's this year.

Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike Ryan because he's fat. I dislike him because of that Sydney game where I had to watch him take the full 20 seconds to kick it straight back to Sydney about 30 times over. And then had to watch him do that about 50 games since.

Calling a spade a spade gets bites though.

I agree re his kicking.

I guess I bit because I distinctly remember you defending Darcy's weight because of "his genetics".

He's a professional athlete. He eats what he's told to eat, exercises what he's told to exercise. It's not like he's going out living this really unhealthy lifestyle. He's just a massive bloke and genetics no doubt play a part in it. It's wrong to criticise him for being unfit and lazy when you don't know just how much he does behind the scenes. I'm sure if it was a simple task to lower his body fat % then our s&c would have got him on a program already to do that.

What happened to calling a spade a spade here?

Raz has such a nice physique

I'm pretty sure every second post of mine contradicts the last. I'd be shocked if you can find any opinion I've been consistent on.

I just like Darcy more. Nothing else to it.

He's never had a footballers body and never come back to any pre season in good shape. Why is it so hard to acknowledge that? Apparently all well and good calling out Nic Nat and Gov when they're overweight but worst thing in the world pointing out that Ryan has always had a tummy.

Yeah well I’m pretty sure he’s got a few baby mommas to support these days so I’m guessing he’s been racking up a fair bit of couch time during the off season , so maybe ease up on him aye?

Hey I was gonna make a child support joke but thought it was a bit too distasteful

 

[FreoBraddles]

Interesting position choices....
Peel gonna have one heck of a line up

 

[go_the_dockers]

Gee we love rucks.

 

[Joao]

What are we, GWS?

 

[s_wd6]

Wow mate's going crazy on the small forwards. Three not enough for him?

 

[apuchar]

And Rucks...far out

 

[Lach72]

Whhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyy though?

 

[Barnabus]

I feel like Hibbins-Hargreaves or Oodshorn-Bennier would have been good options for train on spots. Wonder why no one seems interested.

After the drafts they drop reading bigdooty. They are lost without our guidance.

Who’s winning the TTHD award for day one?

I love a TTHD but this first session made it difficult. No match sim and lots of different drills. What I can say is whilst the energy was nice and high the skills, especially handball, was pretty awful.

But since you asked nicely, I will give it to Mason Cox, not because he is a new toy, but his kicking and handball skills are really impressive.

 

[Troy Cooked It]

The first match sim training report is going to hit like craccckkkkkkk when it drops.

I think now is the time to remind everyone how bloody good we have it with some of the training watchers on this forum.

Any and every opinion is welcome to feed my sickening freo content consumption addiction, lords work by all involved and thanks in advance

 

[FreoRicci]

Amiss leaner? Please no. He needs to keep bulking up

The more the merrier. Small forwards and rucks needed urgently

In just about every photo of Sweid he is smiling or laughing.

He is like a kid in a lolly shop!

Big pre-seasons to Chappy, Nod, Young, Murph, Ras and Johnno go a long way to propelling us into top 4 this year

And Simpson. I reckon he is a vital part of the team.

This is so freo. Bring in a 35 yr old ruckman who only discovered football 10 years ago and he has the best skills. FML! At least he has the type of personality to call out this stuff. Hopefully he delivers some home truths to this group. Bad kicking is bad football.

What is Mayne's coaching role?

I'm not sure he even makes the side.

He squeezed into the 'options' basket at the moment, and will need to have a great preseason.

 

[Superkoops]

Dudley looking slim

I noticed this also. Needs a big PS. A few competing for his spot. Mind you Kickett is quite a few years away.

I guess Dudley is your traditional small forward pocket. Seems Scerri who is train on and Kickett are the only other traditional small forwards. Certainly many others that can fill that role and push into half forward/midfield.
