Strategy Pre-season

[Dan]

With 3 extra games played and post season surgery clean ups for some, we have quite a few who won't be available to train till December-Janurary.

Are the guys going back to Utah?

I heard there will be no full team Utah trip as we have done in previous years, but selected players will still be going as part of their individual training programs

Only the new kids are being sent to high altitude training, the bulk of the squad wont be going.

They need to up the skill work this pre-season i.e. Ziebell.

Does this mean no cool "North in Utah" snowy/mountainous skin and logo on the club site?

Devastating if so.

Devastating if so.

Also means no debates about chipmunks and squirrels.

Ben Brown, Kayne Turner, Trent Dumont, 3 new draftees, 2 rookies go off to Utah for the first time. Luke McDonald, though drafted last year has already been twice so he will probably stay?

He'd go.

I'd be sending every player under 20 and every player under 24 who didn't play finals.

Brown and Dumont were there last time, although not for the full period.

I have a vague memory of them doing a commando course in tasmania or something.

For the fifth year in a row, North Melbourne players will travel to Utah for a pre-season high altitude camp.

13 Kangaroos are set to make the two-week trip in mid November, including Andrew Swallow, Jack Ziebell and Daniel Wells.

"Those guys had injury interrupted seasons so I think they see it as a way of getting themselves in good shape for the first part of pre-season back in Melbourne," Director of Football Geoff Walsh said.

"They all know the value of it in terms of the physical preparation side."

Young guns Brad McKenzie, Ben Jacobs, Trent Dumont, Shaun Atley, Luke McDonald, Mason Wood, Jamie Macmillan and Aaron Mullett will all return to Utah, while Kayne Turner and Joel Tippett will make their first appearance.

They went commando around the map of Tassie?

I was expecting the camp to be more scaled back than that. Glad to see Swallow, Wells and particularly Ziebell heading over there to work on the fitness. I wonder what the club has planned for those staying back in Melbourne.

Higgins and Waite already at the club doing some minor PS training to get to know everyone. Good attitude.

Pretty harsh not to send Eric Wallace...

Pity. Last time Twinkletoes scored free flights to help Eric carry his sack.

It made a change from my usual position in the INNER Scrotum.

Fraught with danger.

We all know what happened when JWS was getting in his extracurricular 360 training.
