The Post Christmas Time trail

[blindblue]

According to Jon Anderson on 3AW this morning, 22 players ran their best time in the trail on Monday.

I'm glad that they came back in such good condition after the break.

They've moved to wearing jocks only and it reduces drag on the legs from those horrible shorts.

You run faster with a boot up your @ss.

I've done one of those time trails. A dirt track littered with clocks. Not so bad if you can see them coming ahead of time, but hurdling those grandfather clocks gets the old heart ticking. Got struck on the ankle by a sneaky cuckoo once. That was an unexpected occurrence at my age, but then time stands still for noone.

close but no cigar this time ODN....better luck next time

Are you doubting the validity of my cuckoo attack?

Seriously, it just goes to show how much harder the players can work, and that fitness doesn't just occur over one offseason. It is becoming less and less likely that we will fade out during matches.

That's a pretty impressive effort, although when you consider the circumstances the club found themselves in prior to Xmas, you would have hoped the players would have really knuckled down and did the work they were required to do over the Xmas/New Year break.

Having a lot more depth in our squad is certainly making a lot of players push harder.

Guys just outside our best 22 like browne dog, joey etc know they have big years coming up so are leaving nothing to chance.

All the rookies and new draftees ran their best time I reckon.

Good point. Half of that 22 would be draftees, rookies and traded in guys who hadn't run that particular trial before. Probably a third of the existing list ran their best times. Still, that is a good effort regardless.

Gutsy comment BT. Very gutsy.

Sorry. At least my spelling was okay.

Just seeing 'trail' instead of 'trial' sent me off on a tangent, like Crash Bandicoot picking up extra time during a race.

Okay, I'll shut up now ....

The conditioning and development staff have done a magnificent job on these blokes, they all look absolutely ripped.

Thy take note!!

Yep. Be interesting to see how many of those 22 are senior players.
