And now for something completely different.

[vinum coupe]

I expect this subject won't get expanded on
It's more a question of hypothetical theories I guess.


What effect do you think the weather we have received over summer will have on the competition as a whole this year?

I've got admit the lack of warm days has sort of thrown my yearly body clock out of whack.

Less sleepless nights, less kids playing in the street, stuff all bbq's. That sort of thing.

It may or may not throw some clubs out.

But my question really revolves around fitness.
With only 3x 35+ degree days this summer there must have been a heap more days to train over the summer without the conditioning team pulling things back.

Do you think this will help teams with a shorter preseason?
Will it help kids development.

I am not sure of any answers.

What I do think it means though (combined with the sub rule) is that the true gut runners of the league are going to be even harder to stop this year.

People like Ling will not benefit
People like (the boy that cant be named) will.

Thoughts?









Come on. It's better than the Pods to defense thread

I'm going back to the Pods to defence thread by.

Me too!

poll??

 

[Turbocat]

softer ground - less recos? One must wonder if Mooney and others are having trouble with their knees this year , they must be running on min cartlidge and max bone on bone.

cooler climate - less prepared for early games interstate?

Not sure on this one. Does heat add something to training like altitude does? If so working without heat means they would have to trainer harder to be normal.

That's the sort of areas I was thinking about.
It has to have an impact. We haven't had a summer this cool in a very long time.

At least back to 2002 but probably further.

On the flip side the perth boys have had a cracking summer.

Sorry, but an inanimate carbon rod would be better than the Pods to defence thread.

Having said that, this thread isn't that far behind

Lat season we had a dry summer and we spent most of it on Deakin reserve right?

I think it's fair to say we've had better conditions to train on. Shin Splint, broken foot and just general soreness should be down allowing the players to train harder.

I think it's a fair observation

Good old inanimate carbon rod.

Maybe softer grounds due to the wet summer will lead to less injuries? Thinking of Brisbanes shocking run with injuries last year because their ground was to hard (so I read somewhere).

it is all the fault of JUDAS

not enough love in Victoria
and too much sadness in QLD

 

[darren forssman]

and still no monty python mention.

 

[vinum coupe]

I know. Sad.

Speaking of which. My hovercraft is full of eels.

 

[darren forssman]

Stwike him, Centuwion. Stwike him vewy wuffly!

 

[vinum coupe]

Times up ! No it's not, yes it is, no it's not, yes it is.
If times up then why are you still arguing.
I may just be arguing in my spare time.


I never saw python early. I listened to all the LP's over and over before I did. Loved the argument skit.

Did you ever listen to the Derek and Clive LP that got banned? Man was that funny.

WARNING ! If you are at the office be careful with the sound in this

[darren forssman]

my workplace, probably wisely, doesnt allow access to a myriad of potentially undesirable things of which sound bites and lil clips fit this mould.

i think ive seen it but will check it out again when i get home.

im a bit younger than you so was exposed to the tv show and films.

 

[vinum coupe]

The you tube clip of derek and clive never existed. Someone obviously made it up.
It kind of ruins it. So don't watch the screen just listen to it.

They were both pissed during most of it. Almost Dudley Moores best work.
