Training NMFC in Utah - 2015

[TennisPlayerAndy]

It would, but Utah isn't the only place where this can occur though. Seems a very expensive way to go about it, surely there must be measurable physical benefits that we consider more important than bonding to justify the cost.

What do Hawthorn do?

Lines.

 

[Only Forwards]

Isn't part of the reason that we go to Utah because there is a US Olympic base there so that our athletes can be given education about how to live as a professional athlete.

Can't do that in remote WA. Not saying that remote WA wouldn't have an upsisde just that it would probably be a different upside. more overcoming adversity based.

Since we started going there we have had one marginal incident with 1 younger player.

What do Hawthorn do?

Drink drive and get accused of rape?

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

get accused of rape?

Might be a bit too soon.

 

[Only Forwards]

Might be a bit too soon.

Based in fact no?

What do Hawthorn do?

You get injunctions if you talk about what Hawthorn do...

I got really drunk in Utah a few nights.

Been drunk in SLC myself.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Serious answer though. They've done a bit of both high and normal altitude

The Utah trip should continue forever imho.

Gen Y’ers have a hard time dealing with being a professional footballers. They sook up hard about missing out on a lot the rites of passage stuff all of the non-AFL mates their age do in their early adult life(European summer holidays, drinking, drugs etc…). Which despite the privileges they have you can understand to a degree.

If we can help them get over that with experiences of seeing another country, going to an NBA/NFL game, bonding with the other youngsters & have them feel/understand they get more than give away by playing AFL & for North, it will be a factor in building the attitudes & chemistry we need to get our next flag.

Record high youth unemployment and these guys are having a cry over getting paid 6 figures to play VFL? Please.

1-4 year players, yeah?

Ats, JMac and Jack aren't 1-4 year players.

 

[jess_1804]

Ats, JMac and Jack aren't 1-4 year players.

Neither his Higgo, but he's there too. Either they wanted a head start on their preseason or the club wanted some leaders there to guide the younger guys. Either way, it's a bonus.

 

[tiltraise]

1-4 year players, yeah?

Ats, JMac and Jack aren't 1-4 year players.

All players can choose to go if they want to.

 

[Twinkletoes]

1-4 year players, yeah?

Ats, JMac and Jack aren't 1-4 year players.

Leadership and commitment. Good to see. Is Blacky there?

 

[Horizons_00]

Leadership and commitment. Good to see. Is Blacky there?

I hope so...

 

[Arden]

1-4 year players, yeah?

Ats, JMac and Jack aren't 1-4 year players.

Rock, paper, scissor instructors.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

1-4 year players, yeah?

Ats, JMac and Jack aren't 1-4 year players.

1-4 + a couple of older players selected by the club I think the initial press statement said.

 

[TheKanga]

Any chance you can put radio commentators over the highlights instead of having to put up with the pathetic TV commentators?

''You get the feeling they really need the next goal, don't you?''

''the goal umpire DOES NOT MOVE''

 

[Benj7]

Video will be out within the next 3-4 hours when it's morning over there. Keep for the annual shaving of. Heads

 

[Chazdog92]

Did anyone else notice that B Mac is there?

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

Did anyone else notice that B Mac is there?

Why is it a surprise?

 

[nelroo]

Did anyone else notice that B Mac is there?

Yep.
Like Ziebs, he still needs to work on his tank.

 

[RobZombie]

Did anyone else notice that B Mac is there?

1st-5th year players this year innit?

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

1st-5th year players this year innit?

1st-4th and a few others I think.
