Review Training standards / skills and fitness

[glenn2479]

Fyfe is clearly an ultra professional. Absolutely gets the best out of himself. If you want to put on size anyone can do it if that’s their goal. At AFL level I guess the balance is between size and running power. We seem to fail on both counts.

I have never really paid a lot of attention but I'd thought of Fyfe as a bit of a wiry type. Has he always been built like a brick s#ithouse?

same size as Bailey Scott when he was drafted. Scott: 186cm, 74kg. Fyfe: 187cm, 75kg.

Has he got a tiny head in comparison to his body?

And Bailey probably hasn’t put a kilo on since drafted lol

We arnt even the Richmond atm from what im seeing... we arnt training skills or endurance, as neither have improved, so what are we actually doing on the track?

Our players are too skinny. Even after 3 or 4 preseason, some still seem to not be strong enough to hold tackles or break tackles.

I remember fyfe’s first game, he had super strong quads. Was launching in the air at everything. Looked a gun from the get go.

I would not be surprised to find that Fyfe has a freakish wingspan from those pictures

Na, he’s just close to the camera.

Turner, Scott, Sleevo, Taylor and Thomas.

All have had multiple preseasons.

All still nowhere near big enough.

New sponsors for North must be Jenny Craig and Ford Pills.

Basti was picked straight after.

Imagine we picked him ahead of freo and we pulled ben10 and Fyfe from that draft. Would of changed things considerably.

I can't see why they wouldn't be doing hard training, weights and endurance type stuff now. They are not making finals and they seriously have a lot of work to do to catch up with other teams. North players look small compared to some opponents. Like most of the Fitzroy guys in their last couple of years.

If losing games now is building players to win next year then go hard. Somewhere the basic skill elements of the game like kicking at goal from 40M and passing to unmarked players also need to be addressed - even if it is only to give the players some small levels of enjoyment of the game.

Heavy load bearing is off & pre season, maintenance is in season

 

[LB2Snake]

We seem to be the only club that doesn’t pile on the muscle. Weird we are down the bottom.

Fair chance this is why we've changed our S&C team.

I think Strength and Conditioning is our hair care routine.

 

[Ligma]

Before each training session they should do handball pyramids to 1000

 

[The Nostradamus]

Should be training extra hard/higher intensity this week knowing we have a week off with the bye next week

 

[Horizons_00]

Tell all the players, they must pack on muscle (2-5kgs) over the preseason.

Depending on their weight of course but come on, they have dieticians, gym, weight training plans etc

Should be a priority.

I've said a couple of times now that this off-season will be critical to the club moving forward.

The new strength and conditioning team needs to focus on dramatically increasing the fitness base so that we can sustain longer. With the number of kilometres running required here, I would not want to be in the squad.

But certain guys will also need to pack on size and strength. We don't need all of the midfielders doing this, or we'll be as slow(er) as treacle.

Huge trade and draft season for whomever it is that's going to be running the list, and Noble needs to really bed down the game plan and have the coaches focus on skills improvement.

I know it's Captain Obvious stuff, but they need to look at this in bite-sized chunks and instil proper process around each piece, otherwise it's simply all too overwhelming for the coaches and the players.

I agree. Plus when you see the team packing on muscle and gaining strength, the influence for you to do so is contagious. At the moment, it doesn’t feel like that’s a priority but it should come In the preseason.
