Training 2026 Training Reports

[Deveraux]

Only the opening contest, and after goal contests. The square means nothing.
If the initial throw up becmes another contest, even if it happens in the circle, the rucks will still be able to wrestle.

Yeah man, my point exactly.

 

[Deveraux]

I get a bit nervous hearing about pumping weights with a former rugby coach at the helm. NFL and MLB are power sports as well with little emphasis on endurance. The physical requirements of these 3 sports are nothing like AFL. I hope we aren't repeating the disaster that was Weber.

I actually come here to post and query this exact thing. We won a lot of games last year by finishing faster than the oppo, I hope this doesn't backfire on us.

 

[FreoMonocle]

Said it yesterday but our season lives and dies on guys like Pearce, Young, Darcy and Switta being fit and firing for the majority of the season. If 3 out of 4 of those guys can play 20 odd games it will go a long way.

That and JL needs to take the shackles off more often. No more hyper-conservative minimalist trying to win games playing 1 quarter of proper footy crap.

Also need to be fit and firing come finals...

 

[The Feeder Club]

What Young said sounds about right to me, I am glad our new S&C is taking us down this route.
Bring on the big finals to test it out

 

[estibador]

I think the fact we don't have 15 players on the injury list already suggests Beard is likely not running a similar program to Weber.

 

[Jezzitizle]

I guess they would be tracking their running and you would imagine would give due attention if they saw any drop offs there in pre season.

That is what I would be asking as a journo - is this a maintain running and increase strength scenario, or increase strength at the expense of the running scenario.

 

[go_the_dockers]

They are hot on holding the ball this year so far.

Also think the 5th player on the bench allows teams to play with more burst players who can then rest for longer.

Fremantle v West Coast, Victor George Kailis Oval (Cockburn), 9am AWDT


Is it really being played at 9am?
And is it open to the public?

No, not open to the public. But will be telecast.

Why so early? That is very unusual. Even an early Vic fixture is 11am our time at best.

 

[Ge3ks]

Holy moly, Kayo 4K is $46/month now.

It's summer. They were probably thinking it might be a 35+ degree day and planned accordingly.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

And they are starting to crackdown on sharing. For anyone who cant afford to watch whatever football they want each weekend, but is interested in taking up high sea sailing, there is a VIP in a box that can provide free advice I believe.

 

[Spirit Level]

Hey guys footys back

Honestly I would advocate anyone who can afford it not to pay that price either.

Ridiculous.

It’s cheaper to buy a digital club membership which includes Kayo sub. Tassie jack jumpers is only $280 I think
Freo’s about $400 from memory

 

[DMan 11]

I’m caught without Kayo or Fox atm, anyone planning on recording and putting on YouTube ??

Sydney Roosters are apparently the cheapest.

I only ever have Kayo now when they offer me a month for a dollar.

It's been a nice separation

Share with a friend or 2 and you are fine.

 

[Spirit Level]

Yeah going to love the wind sound for this whole broadcast

 

[2big2strom]

lots of people in the crowd, can't really stop you sitting on the beautiful sand dunes now can they

 

[serial_thrilla]

Early signs aren't promising. Who will make the first call to sack JL?

 

[s_wd6]

Skills are sensational
