Training 2026 Training Reports

[anchor man]

Normally I would agree, except we just drafted Sweid, Murray and Kickett, plus Dudley sounds like he’s put the work in so far this off season, he’d need to have a significant POD to these 4 to be pushing for a spot.

Maybe with thedrafting of ALL of thse small forwards, the game plan will change with far more rotation across the forward line,Hit them with more pace.

I hope so, we still have Bolton, Switta and Frederick as our incumbents any of these new players need to displace, granted Reid will be spending more time in the mid rotation, however I feel that means more forward time for Bolton or Switta as opposed to creating another spot in the forward line. Competition for a spot in the 23 is going to be intense.

Would be keen on your thoughts on Kickett as i hope I'm not overating him. I just can't see how he went rookie with such a great skill set and willing to tackle.

It's hard to know. I have been going to training for over 10 years. Some years lots some years only once or twice.
It is easy to get sucked in. It happens most years.
But those run down tackles, boy oh boy,
they are worth goals in a match.
So much to like.
Being conservative he may struggle early in the season:
1. Learning the game plan.
2. Fitness.
3. To far back in the que to get an opportunity.
4. That rat tail has to go.
However, hope I'm not over rating as well. If he likes hard work we have found a better Lachie Schultz.

You could always grow it back.

 

[King Huskii]

Why?

Because back then I thought it looked cool.

I think Bolton and Reid will both spend time in the mid rotation, Bolton probably more so.
Reid will be trio fed, a little taste here and there. Unless of course he starts creating magic in there as quickly as he did up forward. Which would not be in the least surprising but I still think they will develop him gradually as we have so many others to run through there and he's still building his body.

I can see where the coaches would want to have a look at Sweid, Murray, Kickett AND possibly Scerri in there plus Dudley seems to have decided he's not wasting this opportunity and will want to really stamp himself as the incumbent.

Its a good problem to have but I don't see all of them getting a look next year unless they're blowing up the WAFL.

The top end teams have a plethora of small forwards that can get up and down the ground. He's IN.

 

[Mesc]

Why?

Why not? We are all individuals, I had a blue mohawk for awhile there. If it isnt harming someone live it.

Same. I like hair that stands out. I hat a rat tail in the 80’s, mullet late 80’s, long ass hair in the 90’s and 00’s (I even got the back permed once. That was f***in stupid. Looked lame as heck).

Sadly, I needed a real job so I felt like I needed to cut my hair. Got it cut a week before the interview. Went into the interview and one of the guys had a long ponytail. I was a bit salty…

Keep the rat tail, son. Don’t let these BF posters bully you!

I'd have to regrow it but give me 18 months and it'll be looking slick

Because back then I thought it looked cool.

Bad ass like Kostya Tszyu
Few kids rocked it in the early 90s
I didn’t get on board that train
Went from double denim and mullets to big colours and bowl/under cuts

The 80s brought us some of the best: Strictly Ballroom, Kylie Minogue, The Church etc


But it also brought us some of the most awful horrific things known to humankind: dingoes stealing babies, ratty tails, West Coast Eagles...

Tbh nearly every style looks good, provided you keep it all uniform and tidy.

Bit of clay/pomade + comb with nearly any style be it fade/mullet/rats tail and you're most of the way there.

Also, I actually have a great deal of appreciation for the 45 plus old blokes who are rocking the bald spot mullet combo - the power they exude is unmatched.

Friday traffic here is much bigger as they post main training. Mondays it's almost empty just how I like it.

Match sim not far away.

Strictly Ballroom came out in 1992.

You are welcome.
