Training Pre-Season Training '25 - '26

Pre-preseason atm

Watching this for the first time.
Fact is his little short kicks at an easy pace have never been a massive issue. Even the 30 meter ones at half pace. The issue has always been he loses the timing when he tries to kick long or on the run at speed.
In the video you can still see the little pause in his kicking action that makes a difference when he tries to kick the ball harder or at speed.
Also watching it he is not really working on a weakness as such. Everyone knows he is very clean at ground level and is good with his hands. I would have liked to see him working with the bags and picking the footy up and clearing out under a bit of pressure as you mentioned.

Not having a crack Ghosty just commenting on the video

Agree with this. I also would’ve liked to see him really explode with his first 6-10 steps then steady and kick instead of just cruising and kicking. Really admire his work ethic though and hope he gets a fair chance in the midfield next season.

Couple of big preseasons coming in.

Johnson in particular did not get a full pre season last year. Let's see what he can do when he hits the ground running.

Ah, the season of fluff, buff and hope......

Oh well at least Durham is a gun on the field. Seen too many tanned buff preseason shots of Shiel & co but they go missing when the footy starts!

Martin, Reid and Bryan have only just got back from McGrath's wedding in Queensland so great to see them back on the track so soon. Martin looks like he's progressing really well.

Thought this looked really very slow

Then I saw he was anchored

Now I don’t know what to believe

I think you got it.

I didn't realise that's how they develop power to enable a speed burst. The whole team needs to do that stuff.

**** yeah!!! Tsatsis carving it up on the training track!!

how good is preseason!

It’s like Ben Simmons’ releasing footage of him shooting three pointers in pre season and then never having a shot when season starts.

But seriously well done to Tsatas’ work ethic and really hope he takes off next season

I know it sounds counter-intuitive. Photos I've seen looks like strengtg and fitness. I wonder if there might be some psychological angle as well, training with those guys...

You'd think combat sports guys would have some decent understanding about concussion and training around / for it.

[King Patty]

Zachs mentor days are over...he probably likes that, this season will be all focused on him.
