Training Preseason Training Thread - 2024/25

[Keys]

And that’s me done for preseason

Probably the best conditioning I’ve seen the squad in since I’ve been attending training.

There’s a bit to look forward to this season albeit we’ll lose more than we win and there’ll be the occasional shellacking when things come completely unstuck

Stay positive, take the good with the bad as the players learn the new game plan and Mini identifies what he has to work with. Some will thrive, others will fall away but one thing I’m sure of is that the effort and desire to compete and improve will be there

Onwards and upwards, enjoy the season

Ryan is injured???

Oh know , there is no way the Eagle's will make finals this year now.

 

[Dark Sharks]

22minutes after you post this, news comes out Ryan has done a hammie, I blame you keys.

Come on m8, his generation gets blamed for enough.

 

[Campaigner for good]

Fingers crossed we see Ryan at training today.

The silent generation?

 

[FKASC]

The absent generation

 

[boondy]

No mention of our best player Gross. Calf soreness a couple of weeks ago and indoor cardio before that . Does he still exist.

Ryan on the outside oval with Jamieson

Stretching and just did some 40-50m run throughs at about half pace

It's what is known in cricket parlance as a Dazzlering.

 

[Keys]

Hewett did the full warmup then moved to the outside oval to work separately with a trainer

Has been kicking with his right foot

Allen is absent - did a big catch up session on Monday after missing the North game so is working inside today

No Yeo. Or Chesser

Everyone else is training including Bazzo, Gross, Livingstone and Champion (who was absent last Wednesday)

injury update from training: Elijah Hewett training solo as he manages general soreness.Oscar Allen - had a big Monday session - so a light session today load management. Tyrell Dewar rocking the fluoro hat today - broken nose in the game so non contact (protect the money maker) but is training. Liam Ryan light running - hammy awareness.

 

[Keys]

Didn’t notice him do anything but Bo Allan sat out the last drill the defenders were doing then wandered off inside - no obvious signs of discomfort or anything but has left a little early

 

[BSD]

Oh know , there is no way the Eagle's will make finals this year now.

It won't make much difference as he has been injured a lot at various times during the past 3 years.
Most of his injuries are hamstring related, we also seem to have an abundance of small forwards.

 

[Keys]

Hewett rejoined the main group late as they were winding down and doing the odd sprint at decent pace

Should be good for R1

 

[KERRPOW]

Are we a sneaky chance to win round 1?

 

[Bender_]

Are we a sneaky chance to win round 1?

Of course we are. Unlikely, but still sneaky.

 

[Coasters7]

Are we a sneaky chance to win round 1?

I’d actually be disappointed if we lost. Easiest fixture by far in the first month or so

Laying the groundwork for a melt already, nice to see.

Last two words a bit superfluous.

Hey at least Jamo was out there, something that hasn’t always been the case this preseason

Hahahaha wot m8! Lions, Dockers, Giants, Blues isn’t exactly a charmed run

 

[Big_Birdy]

Hahahaha wot m8! Lions, Dockers, Giants, Blues isn’t exactly a charmed run

I think they meant its our easiest game out of the first 5. Which it is.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Hahahaha wot m8! Lions, Dockers, Giants, Blues isn’t exactly a charmed run

Isn't that what he's saying?

 

[Keys]

Not really anything to add to what I’ve already posted from training today

Low key session that only went for just over an hour that focused on fundamentals and ball movement without reaching any real intensity. Players were covering the ground well and again looked sharp though

Once again, was struck by how much bigger they look as a group compared to start of preseason

Numbers were good and barring any setbacks there’s only really 4 players I’d categorically rule out for R1 - Sheed, Chesser, Jamieson and Yeo. Ryan and Bazzo are both wait and see as to their availability

Barnett was doing some one on one ruck work vs Flynn at the end of the session

Johnston was with the backs when they shifted into line groups

 

[BeornJ]

Can I ask what was so odd about his sprint?
