Training 2026 Training Reports

[mayne iac]

Lleyton Hewitt run up and down sand hills in his preparation to win the 2001 US Open. Except he had to travel to get to them. They're literally right there next to the oval. By not using them, Freo are just throwing away a premiership.

They are not your normal soft sand hills as per the ones you find at the beach, they are compacted brickies sand.

I reckon GC is primed for the next 12 years

I agree they have an insanely good list. But I don't think they are primed for a premiership yet. I see them more similarly to us from 2012-2015. Or GWS at the start of the 2017 finals run. They only just crafted a club identity LAST YEAR. I'm not sure they have the full buy in or mental fortitude for it (and secretly hope they don't too).

The kid's a powerful nugget!

Essendon might rue passing on him. Even with the points l

 

[Taylor]

I like how he helps his team mate up after too.

 

[DeadEyeJye]

Thats great intensity, I bet Bruce won't underestimate him again in a hurry.

Sounds like Scerri in the box seat. Report claims he hasn't signed yet as SSP goes until Feb 20. I assume they will keep him in training making sure he is physically good to go in a months time before confirming the signing. Would be very stiff not to get a gig having uprooted his life (having already signed with Richmond VFL for this year) to come out West and train for 3 months....

Sidelined by soft tissue injuries

Sidelined by soft tissue injuries

That's Harding who is sidelined with soft tissue according to the West. He finishes up training with us on friday. Any Scerri sightings of late? He was ill around Christmas, was standing out early in pre-season, but haven't heard much since... hold on...found this Scerri reference from the illustrious flagmantle 3 days ago ...

"Some onlookers thought Isaiah Dudley was arguably the best player in match sim today, looking very fit and every bit a best 23 player. Train-on Chris Scerri continued to impress and looks all but certain to earn himself the last spot on our list ahead of the February 20 deadline"

Yeah I meant Harding. Just providing context behind him ending his stint.

Flagmantle doesn’t do a single training report they just steal things from other reporters

 

[anchor man]

I am not a full bottle on doing training reports and one thing bemused me yesterday during training.
All morning they trained in the Purple home guernsey , one group, then the other in the whitish strip.
The in one drill they changed to the over singlet colours of red and yellow. They played out sims in this manner.
Can some one give me the reason why.Is it to become accustomed to looking out for the opposition different colours!!
And yesterday I missed saying that that Luke Ryan was doing many laps and many of them.Maybe had a late start and building his motor.But he did step into part of the sim later.
Also Mr Walker, was doing plenty of laps as well.
Both look in pretty good trim.

And he also has a dig at the club too

I refuse to be part of the Flagmantle debacle.It is a waste.

 

[DeadEyeJye]

To be fair, Harding would have to have been a long shot anyway wouldnt he? I would have thought he would have needed to set the place on fire to get a spot as a developing ruck ina side already stacked with rucks

Toby Whan finishing 3rd in the running trials on Caleb Serong's spoken journal.

Not knocking Kenobi but time trials aren’t the best indicator of one’s footballing ability. Griffin Logue, known affectionately by North fans as “Fat guts, King of Mykonos” finished 2nd in Norths 2k time trials. Now that I mention it I’m thinking that might be more of an indictment on North Melbourne.

Sharp is probably a better example. Elite runner, bog average footballer.

Below is a list of the fastest 2km time trial runners in combine history. Not exactly a list of future hall of famers.

Whan must be relieved he came third.

It wasn't a time trial, it was a repeat efforts shuttle run. Wagner won it because he is agile and quick. Whan coming third is a big deal - he's beaten the aerobic beasts and matched it with the speedy runners - Frederick came second.

Whan not having that burst of pace was a knock on him. Nobody would call Wagner or Freddy slow.

Harry Sharp's time is insane. 5.28 is my 1km time at my 5-10km pace. He's literally running twice my speed.

Thank god

Was bizarre we used a training spot on a ruck
