Stepho's game against (a good) WC in 2021 still lives in my head rent free

He really was quite good that season and i have faith that he can get back to that consistently within a competent system. The bloke is so bloody talented,

Doesn’t look like Stephenson has picked up a weight this preseason. Only early days though

Needs to quit the ciggies and he won’t be able to stop putting on weight [emoji100]

Laz ran a block of Arden St before he watched Wilphil train

Fixed it…

It’s sink or swim time for this guy.
Clarko isn’t going to put up with halfhearted efforts

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Nah

Personally I hope we aren’t the skinniest team going forward. Physically intimidating is something that we haven’t had since the 90s.

We were pretty physical when we had the likes of Ziebell, Swallow & Greenwood running through the midfield, problem was we were so one paced and poor runners.

Like anything there has to be a balance. That’s why I’m excited by the likes of Phillips and Wardlaw, because they love winning the footy, but they love laying a big tackle equally as much.

Isn’t Laz a fanatical trainer anyway?

Yep, one of the best at the club. Professional, smart and always does extra’s with development coaches learning about the game. Clarko absolutely loves these types of developing players. Lazz is one who I think will end up being a solid role player in a successful side.

Her name is not ciggies

 

[Horizons_00]

stevo has proven he can be a star despite his size. his problem is between the ears, the consistency of his performance, the inability to be effective for a full game, a full season. I’d rather see him improve his tank than put on too much size personally.

He has the ability and the skills for sure

The beaches are.

Agree the land is hilly, especially near the backbeaches.

Point Nepean is a great walk/run/bike ride

Can you verify hilly?

Who cares if Sleevo is lifting weights and having ciggies, she is sooooo hot. Where’s the old Carlton draft ad batting above his weight.

Laz does extras but struggles to pick up the ball during games

Too busy checking list lodgement dates :adjusts prescription glasses

If you're quoting Zombieland I feel this is dangerous territory.

I have zero faith, but it isn't important if I have faith or not. He just has to work hard and it isn't obvious from the outside looking in that he has put any effort into preparing himself to be an elite footballer and success just isn't going to come if you do not work hard at ir, regardless what potential or what talent you have.

If Clarkson can't turn him into a useful footballer than nobody can, what he has to address is his mindset and prepare him to compete in a sport where everyone out there is doing everything in their power to be the best they can be at a physical level.

Get ****ed?

Get ****ed?

 

[Its a Process]

We did our very best to completely stuff him up last year but playing him in every position on the ground except for the ruck.

He has elite speed / agility and he is a good kick - Clarko will find a home for him.

 

[HELLSBELLS]

yeah high metabolism etc

Can he send that Metabolism over here ? i could do with it.

 

[Tas]

I wanted to give him something even more concise to remember. :stern look

NMFC's very own Kosi is hitting the tracks as we speak, so do not fear.

Bit unfair on the kid. I know he’s become the new whipping boy in these parts but was one of the guys doing all the extras on the track preseason last year. Sincerely hope he surprises us (me included).
