Pre-Season Training 2018-19

[Baltimore Jack]

I very much doubt Greenwood would place himself above the needs of the team.

Most modern day players don't. Levi wouldn't

 

[Finnishpie]

Thanks for the info re.. appreciate it.

Loved Broomhead in stints when we were playing like s**t.. like him a lot.

Good to see him out there.. can only hope he goes allright at some stage.. but no real expectations at this stage.. take your time son and when you're ready show us what you got.

I rate him too Gimpo.

but the first line of article is already suspect. James Aish a defender??

So was Levi Greenwood IIRC...

One thing the article does get horribly wrong is when it says: "the son of a South Australian legend still managed 13 games including four finals." James' father (Andrew Aish) was a very good player in SA, but under no circumstances could be described as a legend. They've confused him with James' uncle (Michael Aish), who had a much more significant career in SA football.

True, not sure were James fits into the team now

 

[Finnishpie]

True, not sure were James fits into the team now

There are 4 or so players who are going to struggle to find a spot, especially if we have a decent run with injury:

Aish
Mayne
Greenwood (though he's highly rated)
Daicos
Thomas
C Brown
Crocker

One or two might squeeze in, but they're under the pump (injuries aside).

 

[FIGJAM]

Both him and Maynard have proven they can lock down smalls and also go through the mifield. Great problem to have!

Aish also not bad at half forward (although his set shooting needs some work).

Both easily starting 22 for mine.

Watching the open training Wednesday Josh Daicos stands out with his disposal so it would great if we could squeeze him in.

Again indicates how our squad depth is very very strong.

We bat very deep for good medium talent.

Plus ofcourse some A grade and quite a few trending that way.

2019 could be our year.

Query?

If it’s very hot at training wouldn’t it better if they all wore white clothes instead of blacks?

Feels and looks so hot in black.

Is part of the benefit of training up north due to the heat exposure? Genuine question, I have no idea. But I have read that extreme exposures to both heat and cold (within reason) can be good for athleticism, so perhaps keeping cool isn't the goal here.

 

[Leviathan Pie]

Usually don't pay too much attention to pre-season training, as invariably you get fed the same dribble; but from the snippets I've seen our blokes look in very good nick, sharp too.

Not long now.

Training the house down.






A bit like, he’s doing everything right in track work....

 

[76woodenspooners]

No Wonder Southport seemed a Good Place for us to Train

Also, it’s where Dayne Beams was originally recruited from.

Watching video footage of this preseason and to my eye at least Darcy has lost the final remnants of boyhood in his appearance and now resembles a young man.

Whether that equates to better luck with injury and a more intense focus on his football only time will tell but I think the growing pains at least are now behind him.

Over to you Darcy.

 

[swoop42]

I thought Crisp had a bad back prior to the Christmas break?

Like Bucks that kind of horseplay had me worried also.

Huge year from Darcy will go a long way to getting us that flag.

We won't win the flag unless some of our KPP have a huge year.

A lot rests on the shoulders of Cox and Moore, they both need to deliver consistently

He had an interrupted pre-season last year but has done every session on the track except the one with the girls so if this keeps up, he should be raring to go providing there are no injury setbacks in match practice.

We have a few players who have had interruptions to their schedules.

It ends with Bucks treating him like a younger brother - holding Crisp's arms and hitting Crisp in the face and saying "Stop hitting yourself"
