Training Training Thread 2023

[the flying ham]

We have one final list lodgement date after the drafts and that's it. Any changes then will be final. If he's cut then, it'll possibly give us an extra rookie spot for the SSP/MSD.

Anymore to his absence in Darwin?

 

[The Nostradamus]

He's in Darwin atm with his GF. A wait and see on him but yes, if he has decided to give it up, cut him now.

Yep got to do it now instead of after the draft

Ultimatum needs to be given tomorrow to spicer

 

[Shinboner1]

It's a shame we traded pick 43, could have traded up the ladder hahaha

"Family reasons"

 

[rickety]

Clarko racism scandal keeping him away or something else giantroo ?
What have you heard mate?

Aside from the very obvious differences between LDU and PS, from the very brief bit of Clarko we spoke about yesterday, there seemed to be no overbearing concern about it.

No, other reasons.

"Family reasons"

Hopefully nothing sinister, and all is well

 

[Psicosis]

It’s sensational to hear Charlie talk about him and others having already done an 8 week block. I rekn the fact Clarko was starting, they wanted to make a good impression.

Absolutely.

I’ve had a spring in my step since we announced Clarko. Imagine how the players feel.

 

[Sillygit]

Hopefully nothing sinister, and all is well

Hopefully nothing tragic.

Hopefully nothing tragic.

That too!

Phoenix is training hard still:

Definitely not stressed now if he is going down to the buffaloes, they are a wonderful club

That’s nice and all.

But I think I’d probably prefer him training in an AFL environment under Alistair Clarkson, with all due respect to Robbie Ahmat…

I think you’re missing the reason his up there….. family reasons.

Weird call. Someone mentioned the bloke remains up there for family reasons at the moment. I haven't seen too many who've needed to do that get down and bust their guts out with an intensive training block and getting down for a kick with the best available local side.

And GR has mentioned that he’s also a chance of chucking it all in and not returning.

“Family Reasons” might mean anything and there’s certainly been no statement from the club granting him additional leave as they usually do.

 

[Sillygit]

Sometimes life is complicated for a minute or two. From whats been presented, seems that spicer is doing what he can despite such complications. Yes, if there were no complications, then his absence would be not great. But that doesnt seem to be the case. No less, such complications are best not stated in social media unless absolutely necessary.

So, reckon he's doing what he can and very likely the club knows. And i think the benefit of the doubt is fair.

Not sure that it matters. He is the least of our problems and looked a million miles away from it last year.

 

[tales129]

Since we talking putting on size...check out fog. Tank

I can only see him playing FF looking like that.

It’s fev reincarnate - the campaigner doesn’t have the aerobic capacity to go hard

Robbie Ahmat works for North Melbourne part-time, so despite training in Darwin, he's under the club umbrella.

 

[Horizons_00]

I’d delist spicer now

He’s not a good enough player to decide to not return when he has to

Take and use pick 40 in the draft and get cooper with a later pick

Here we go. Ziebull has a new whipping boy

 

[Yianni]

He has been training at my gym a lot, we have an altitude chamber there and he has been in it a lot doing cardio.

Now this IS good news.

 

[Del191229]

More than happy to give Phoenix all the time he needs for any family stuff he's got to deal with.

 

[Kangaroos techno]

Might also be why Ronke is on our radar.

I hope it's nothing too serious for Spicer. From a playing perspective I'm not fussed. Looked miles off it and had the physical pressure of a feather. Would prefer we took someone with pick 40 and got Ronke as a rookie.
