At least i've seen a good yearSo you've had one good year in 37 and all of a sudden we are mentally weak? Makes sense.
It was a coward punch delivered by a coward playing for the Melbourne football club .
Many Tiges supporters have been insufferable all across BF threads. They have had one good year, and they are riding that train all the way over the cliff next year. Can't blame them given their AFL era record, but jeeze they are making some broad statements about clubs like yours - a position they sat in less than 3 years ago, when they also finished 12-10, in a far less even season. Back then, there was a fair bit of heat on the Tiges - and it wasn't due to their pre-season, but their actual performances in the season proper - http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-06-12/tigers-not-soft-hardwick - and it clearly hit a nerve.So you've had one good year in 37 and all of a sudden we are mentally weak? Makes sense.
Dees players apparently went to the players association to ask if they could ask the club to get them out of It?
They apparently felt It was too hard last year? Seems odd.
Skinny 19 year old clubs aren't on AFL lists that need to train specifically for AFL and be treated like professional athletes.Skinny 19 year old infantry soldiers have no problem doing this.
Very embarrassing
Not even relevantThe Dees go to the AFLPA because training is a bit tough, yet the Bombers players stayed silent when being injected with illegal drugs...
Dafuq????
Well he did dislocate his knee so I think that's fair. And it impacted his season so I think he has a point.Heard from a source last year that Dom Tyson was one of the players that had a sook about it.
It sounds brutal though, to be honest.
Macho bullshit that achieves SFA. Amazing that s**t still flys in 2017. And yeah, nothing worse than an EX SAS flog.Ha ha, love those boot camps run by ex-SAS flogs who make money by running completely unscientific programs, indulging middle aged mens' fantasies about "wars" and "toughness" and "leadership" and whatever other bullshit buzzword they can come up with. Lifting bags filled with bricks over your head, gimme a break. Sleep deprivation - that'll toughness you up, son.
Makes you wonder what kind of a moron you'd have to be to buy into that crap.
The ones I know through dad are all very humble gentlemen.Macho bullshit that achieves SFA. Amazing that s**t still flys in 2017. And yeah, nothing worse than an EX SAS flog.
Not sure about that.The ones I know through dad are all very humble gentlemen.
The ones who like to think they were in the SAS mouth off about it all the time.
These sorts of camps don't teach you anything. They shine a light on whether you have a void in the mental toughness locker or give you a new threshold which you determine hard as being. That's the entire purpose. They show you your new limit and you push yourself harder for the rest of your life because of it.
Few years ago when Dimma pulled the pin in a pre-season match and how this board went into meltdown.No doubt a fair few Dees supporters went to town on us.Suck it up princess its your turn.Good to see Richmond supporters absolutely full of beans and gloating. I wonder how they'd feel if their little poster boy Dusty hurt himself doing this and had an interrupted season?
To be fair he dislocated his knee and missed a large chunk of pre season and the first couple of games due to itHeard from a source last year that Dom Tyson was one of the players that had a sook about it.
It sounds brutal though, to be honest.
this is exactly it, in a nutshell.Good luck with that. The players have just called the Union on the Coach and Footy Dept.
Mature discussion between the two factions either failed or wasn't an option.
Imagine Salem was at North and walked in to tell Ziebell that? LOL
yes, but... but... surely you can see it was your coaching staff who organised the camp in the first place??Got to love all the macho chest puffing from keyboard warriors here, 'Melbourne are this and that'. Can't wait for a thread to start saying 'Goodwin has lost the players'. Biggest load of overrated spin that has captured all the BF cynics on the way down the hill.
At the end of the day, the players don't need some SAS style training camp unless they're actually training for the SAS. It's 2017 and we are playing football for gods sake, just because they aren't standing in front of some drill sergeant with about as much relevance in the world as my nearly cut grass, doesn't mean they are soft, especially considering an injury occurred last year whereby it was no doubt conducted under extreme and not relevant situations.
The only real issue here is if the plays actually had to go to the AFLPA to get the camp cancelled. It sounds more like the went there to get advice on how to approach the MFC higher ups about it, which is still concerning but hardly the end of the world.
