Player Watch #30: Charlie Comben

[King Corey]

Chom working on some trap bar deadlifts working on eccentric phase

Trap bars are like those **** sticks in billiards.

Not everyone is as good as you in pool, I still use them

Dude I know said he deadlifted 300kg.

Omg I say.

He sends vid.

Trap bar. Partials.

He might as well have sent footage of himself carrying his groceries back to the car.

You’d think carrying groceries would pop his arm right out of the sockets.

conspiracy theory is that trap bar was made to practice lifting heavy groceries therefore he is practicing so such thing doesn’t happen.

 

[DunderHead]

Its so tempting to rush into the heavier weights. You can see even at this weight he still hasn’t quite perfected his technique. This trainer is setting the right foundation for great development by maximising the positive impact of each lift. I’m not an expert on this stuff but it looks like they have chosen the right guy to work with our blokes in the off-season.

I had the same issue and found that putting my heels on 2.5kg plate helped massively

I hat size lol heels do you where dude??

Dude - you come around and help my Mrs bring the shopping in after she's wiped out the local Aldi, IGA and Woolies (she rarely goes to Coles).

You only have to see the trip computer's fuel consumption stats to know that she's single handedly contributing to the economic recovery. Building up upper body strength is just a bonus.

She does it in high heels too...

 

[Gumble Frankieton]

Seeing footage of Comben lifting weights I couldn’t help but think something might go awry…



Fingers crossed for this bloke, he could really come on and help to push us up the ladder again if he can avoid injury.

 

[The Dingrel]

All makes sense. My preference has always been to lift in those 'converse' style flat shoes. Never runners for those reasons. Perhaps he just doesn't own a pair. Curious whether there are benefits to be barefoot over flat/hard soled shoes.

i have a pretty comprehensive gym setup at home and we don't wear shoes in the house,,,,i started lifting barefoot for that reason only but have come to much prefer over wearing shoes.....daresay wouldn't be able to get away with that at most commercial gyms.

Is this the guy to do a Tarrant?
promising kid, who injuries might mean a couple are ahead of him in the pecking order.
we might see CCJ Larkey combo with Edwards waiting in the wings.

A move to defence could solve a lot of our issues.

I'd have him as a swingman at best, kids too good not to play in the forward line.

It worked for Ben Mckay. I wouldn't be against it, because he has incredible athleticism and speed off the mark for a guy his size.

For the time being I hope we persist with him as a key forward, he looks a very very natural key forward.

Definitely strikes me as a natural roaming chf that pushes up the ground.

Thing is he is way to good to be sitting on the sidelines, playing back might just give him some continually playing AFL.

it’s much easier on the body being the one jumping into blokes spoiling rather then cannon balled into.

for mind once we recruited CCJ, its either he or Edwards that we need to start preparing to play back.

McKay and Comben could be a nasty backline.

Is that Charlie on the right? Oh my!

yes

 

[speedy]

Have any track watchers noticed if he has been training as a forward or defender?

He's a forward mate

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Really excited to see this guy play a heap next year. Has been pumped up by nearly everyone.

Forward and looking goooooood

 

[Rod Stroker]

Great Shot. The future of our big men right there; CCJ, X, Edwards, Chom. Really excited to see what they can do.

Looks like a young
