Preseason training 2014/15

[mehow2g]

No I was genuine, tired but functional. Had a look and couldn't figure it out, then fosards have a go at me. Sensitive bunch of muppets some posters.

To be fair I didn't recognise him and I've met the guy, tats gave it away however and he looks in much better nick.

Lol at NN jumping on Lycetts head.

Might be the year NN sticks it up all his critics.

 

[squashface]

Gee I really rustled some campaigners with that comment didn't I... soft bunch the WC fans....

all in good fun, mate

Would be awesome wouldn't it. Pray he keeps fit and healthy.

Terrible.

And gains some confidence. IMO his confidence in his marking led to him purposely not being in enough marking contests and staying out the back of the play.

 

[SloppyJoe]

Must say, he looks awesome there - definitely bigger in the upper torso.
Sincerely hope he cuts it up this year - must be his turn to really break out.

I hope you are right and he kills it this year, but i don't think his body is ever going to be where we want it (nohomo).

The trouble is he doesn't (and never will) have the build required (e.g. Kerr, Cousins) to compete physically with the taller blokes. The nuggety blokes make up for what they lack in height with trunk strength and a lower centre of gravity. If he were 2-3 inches taller this would be a non-issue.

This picture so perfectly sums up the situation described. Spud v Spud, and McGinnity (left) has just laid a blow on Lucas (right). Well done!

In fairness, he's a decent crumber around the pack LOL

 

[Dark Sharks]

Who the **** is Chris Masten? Apparently he trains hard. Should i know this? I'm not obsessed like you lot, just a fan

Interesting summary in the Sen Inside Footy paper (I Know, I know...I'm a tragic in off season). Describes Lucas as "runs like an AFL player, kicks it like a suburban one"

With you on that - and I expect that Lycett will flourish because the opposition sides will be obsessed in trying to stop NicNat and leave Lycett free.

 

[Chris_6678]

Biggest positive is seeing Nic Nat get his pace and jumping ability back.

Ditto was said above and i can see Lycett having a massive year with added responsibility.

From what I saw at training yesterday, I know many suburban players who would of hit more targets than many of our players in some of those drills.

Lycett looked good yesterday. He looks like a huge unit and it seems his confidence has risen with being one of our main ruck options. He monstered Brown a few times up forward yesterday in one on one contests and took some great grabs.

The weight stats on Footywire (which I'd say are 1-2 years old) have Scotty at 98kg, but he is now listed at 103kg on the WC website.

The kid is becoming a beast no doubt and, what's better, he loves to throw his weight around.

Always wanted the Q stick to do that. Body of a wrecking ball, mind of cotton wool.

All the more need for an effective small crumbing forward when Lycett (and NicNat) spend time up forward.

 

[MIKE85]

Reading a few comments from Simpson about our focus at training, and making sure we do the basics right under pressure, gives me some hope that our chokes, and teams getting run ons against us will be addressed and improved this year.

Dean Cox was down at the Western Bulldogs training session yesterday watching them train according to the WB board. Getting in early for round 1!

We couldn't afford to send a better spy than a pretty recognizable 204cm guy with a large nose?

Chill, he was unrecognizable, WCE are a rich club and provided him with a disguise.

He was ratted on by an official

Because wearing it on your head is so 2014...

Chris Masten challenged by the Coach to keep his tongue inside his mouth when running, finds a novel solution?
