carltons return to training for pre season has been nothing short of dreadful...Pagan is fuming at the poor return of whitnall and nick stevens as well as the younger players such as betts, blackwell, hartlett, russell...this is what was said:

- Training yesterday, their were huge issues upon players being terribly unfit in comparison to this time last year.
- pagan pulled the senoir players being, stevens and whitnall and told then to smarten up...stevens has put 5 kilograms on, with him weighing 90 kilos at the minute (his playing weight 85kg)
- pagan told joran russell you are a nice guy, though if you dont change your ways you wil be back in S.A. by next year...Hartlett was told the same, and blackwell to W.A.
- One on One player meetings were held, blackwell apparently copped it..after the meeting he said "it was not pretty"
- Betts returned in shocking form, so pagn too laid down the beat on him.
- Terry daniher took training yeaterday, and all reports fro players were good.

***I got his inside word, you dont have to believe me, call me a moron, call me what you like though this is fact!!! If you wanna believe it, believe it, if not then dont...i would not waste my time and write this is it were not true

As someone who attended training Wednesday, I'm struggling to find anything truthful in this post.

Were still in November and they spent the whole summer beefing up

Sorry BREAK not summer.

 

[scottydeewah]

And obviously Pagen doesnt think "too early Novemeber".

I can understand how people arent happy about it. From all reports down at catland some of our younger boys spent the summer in the gym beefing up. We also scrapped Mad Monday as the players were so dissapointed in the end ot last year that they didnt want to go and celebrate. This from a team who was 3 seconds away from a Prelim Birth. Now my point is not to go and blow smoke up my own teams @rse just that your team was about 90,000 seconds away from a prelim birth so you think your players would really be knuckling down.

I have heard of other clubs having groups of players that get together during the off season to pump weights, run etc. They would try and get the young kids involved. Anyone heard of such a thing at blue land?

The problem we had with players getting back early as (Carlton experienced a few years ago) is that later on in the season they start to develop stress fractures. If i recall correctly we had -Deluca ,Setanta,Sporn and maybe even a few others developing stress fracture problems.

You obviously dont play football, players need to give the body a rest, that means doing nothing for a little while, then gradually building back into it. In this time you do have a few beers and still eat as much as you do when your training. So Physically u'll be carrying a few, but as training starts you get back into routine and maybe do a bit extra if required to get your body 100% right for round 1, theres a long time to round 1.

Also mentally players need a rest, they need not to worry about having a beer or eating bad foods for a period of about 1-2 months. They need to let there hair down and relax or else the season will be too long for them and they wont be "peaking" when they need to be.

Well put EB. Players definitely need a rest both mentally and physically otherwise they burnout before the season begins.

Paddy I'd struggle to see why anyone would have a problem with players putting on a few kilos over the break especially older blokes. Players need a break, thats why they go overseas and drink a whole load of ******** and do a whole load of drugs.

And Gwilt saying "why would u come back overweight cos then ya need to work ya arse off"............What do you think pre season is for!!!!1

 

[outback jack]

Gee I think Stevo is really enjoying the huge salary pack u guys are paying for - what was it - 5 years. Enjoy the baggage...lol...

As for russell I think home will always be best. Pagan can send him back this year, or is it too late?

Gee you port supporters really are bitter arent you.
