Preseason training 2014/15

[Eastern Rangers]

Interesting that McGovern (should be irrespective of others) and Lycett are all there training while Gaff and Darling are still on holiday.

 

[Something more...]

On an article covering Simmo's comments - http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-11-05/theres-no-penance - picture of Newman had the caption that he was training the house down...

Bodes ill for Masten.

Lycett probably wanted out of ceduna. McGovern perhaps learning the error of his ways from last preseason

Good signs they were both prepared to come back early even if it is only a few days

When do the other lads join them?

Fifth to eighth year players on Monday with the rest a week after that

Glad WC are releasing video and info about the start of pre-season. I had a huge issue with the club and let them know via email and survey, when 2 years ago, all I heard about from other sources was Woosha beating Newman in the time-trial. After 6 days, the club had given no info on who won the trial, personal bests, improvements etc, just let this be the only topic....

I expect my club to be leading the way in supporter relations not just second-hand info from Telstra run afl.com.au sites. We`ve improved but we need to be ahead of the game. Live-streaming, hat-cams, sports science info, whatever- just do more than the norm...

Sheesh some people are easily impressed.

Only player who looked even remotely big was Adamson.

Coming from the guy who is impossibly pessimistic

I'm fxxxn pumped about NicNat and Lycett getting an extended run together

They will absolutely destroy opposition ruckmen when they get going

Yeah I think Lycett will be a gem. Will be interesting to see how they manage the two of them. Do they keep playing Lycett as a forward, or give them 50/50 time in the middle?

Would be akin to NN/Cox in 2011/12 if we had them sharing ruck time and forward time equally.

Gotta go 50:50. A fit Nic Nat would be damaging up forward

All 5th year players, but I suppose Shooter and Scott have only had half a season of first team action while the other two have had 4 full seasons. Pretty impressive given they're all the same age...

 

[paran]

Might explain why he's looking bigger and not as lean - more weights, less running

Needs to get onto doing the hand stands and "walking" on his hands, get those muscles ripped and functional and improve his core balance. Upside down Shred!

 

[LordHaart]

Also very interested in what Corey Adamson brings to the table. Don't have high expectations of him but will be watching him with interest.

I'm not that familiar with Cat B players, are Adamson and Brophy effectively rookie listed or are they a chance to play in the senior team this year if their form warrants it?

They are the same as rookie listed players - can only play in the senior team if they are elevated due to someone being placed on the LTI list.

Any news of training day(s) / times next week? I know Suma Magic is keen too

No news. I'm going to head down tomorrow and probably next wed around 10am (would go Monday but I'm busy) to mcgilvray and hopefully it will be on.

 

[Chris_6678]

I think they have the 5th-8th year players back next Monday so i dare say there will be there from 9:30 am?

Yeah I expect the 1-4 years would be there by 9.30.
the 5+ years might go for initial testing before training.
It's the new kids I want to see so probably go early.

My goodness, Maginness putting on a few kilos?

Might not blow away in a light breeze anymore.

Far out. Big unit.

 

[Suma Magic]

As I was leaving training yesterday I walked right past Big Will Maginess. He looked heaps bigger, wasn't sure who it was at first.

 

[Suma Magic]

Just so long as young players from other clubs aren't also getting bigger, I think we have found a way to get the jump on them for 2015.

 

[Chris_6678]

Noticed there was no Mcinnes out there? Injured maybe?

 

[Dark Sharks]

So much fanboy, it's only the first training session too.

Well it's either this or we go back to the draft thread, and that thing has been caught in an Inception-Paradox for about three weeks now.
