Anyone got anymore pre season photos. Preferably ones that are not our fat players.
Seems like we are on a fat hunt this preseason.

Chesser does look like he is ready physically to compete, just got to get him through those pesky preseason matches.
It is good to see some of the boys at the club early. Fitness has clearly been an issue at the club for a while. Even if it’s their own individual plans, at least if they can complete full sessions it’s going to be a considerably better foundation to work with come full training.

That's actually tears from our midfield recruits realising they won't get any time on ball next season.
Shuey looks 5 years younger when he's not rocking the male pattern baldness shaved head

My boy Culley, I have very high hopes for the kid in 2023.
If, and its a big if, we can get him next to a healthy Yeo, there are going to be some opposition players getting put in the hurt locker from being crushed in tackles every week

Train like an Eagle: Nic Nat hits the track after surgery
West Coast’s commitment to improvement and fitness has started a month early as star ruckman Nic Naitanui headlined a group of eager Eagles putting in the hard yards on Wednesday morning. SEE THE PICS.

More of the customary off-season workouts at McGillivray Oval
Edit: Wasn't paywalled when I posted it
Nic Naitanui was the star attraction on Wednesday as West Coast illustrated their commitment to get fitter and better more than a month before the official pre-season kicks off.
Naitanui struggled to reach anywhere near peak fitness last season due to injury and a stop-start pre-season.
But after knee surgery in August, Naitanui has started the long road back to the top, one of six Eagles putting in the hard yards at McGillivray Oval.
Naitanui completed resistance work with a trainer.
The star ruckman is recovering from post-season surgery.
Preparing for his 15th season at West Coast after signing a two-year contract extension last month, Naitanui isn’t expected back at the club until five-plus year players return to pre-season on December 5.
But the 32-year-old should return fighting fit and be ready to attack the 2022 pre-season with vigour after managing just eight games in an all-time shocker season for the Eagles.
West Coast finished 17th this season with a club-low two wins in what was a disastrous year for coach Adam Simpson, who had to deal with COVID-19 and injuries to many of his stars.
West Coast’s early “extras” came a month after former recruiter Matt Rendell said the Eagles were “fat” and the most unfit team in the AFL during the trade period.
Naitanui was joined by Harry Edwards at training.
A group of Eagles trained together before their scheduled return.
During the hour plus session which kicked off at 8am, Naitanui worked closely with Eagles Head of Health, physiotherapist Mark Finucane.
First-round draft pick Campbell Chesser was also putting in the work after failing to feature in 2022 due to ankle surgery.
Alex Witherden, Connor West, Greg Clark and Harry Edwards rounded out the group as the players started with a lap of the oval before launching into a gruelling sprint session.
Alex Witherden was a part of the session.
Covering 20-30 metres, some efforts started slowly before building to full speed, some did the opposite and others involved high knees.
Occasionally the players gathered around a phone, possibly reviewing footage.
The most physical part of the session came when the Eagles added resistance bands. Working in pairs, the players tied up their teammates up as the designated runner worked through the added tension.
The entire session was business-like with no music and little laughter.
The hard work continued at Mineral Resources Park. Led by captain Luke Shuey, who managed 17 games this year up from seven in 2021, a group of Eagles spent Wednesday morning training on the club’s back oval.

Jai Culley, Tom Cole and Luke Shuey complete a sweat session at Mineral Resources park.
Also present were injury-riddled pair Dom Sheed, who managed just one game last season due to foot issues and defender Tom Cole who wasn’t sighted at all in 2022 after pre-season ankle surgery.
Second-year forward Jack Williams and mid-season draft pick Jai Culley also trained at Lathlain.
The Eagles first to fourth-year players officially return to pre-season training on November 21 followed by senior players a fortnight later.

It says that the head of S&C, Mark Finucane, was the trainer working with Nic Nat. This implies he hasn't been fired.Train like an Eagle: Nic Nat hits the track after surgery

I don’t think anyone in S&C has been fired. If we get anything close to the injuries we had this year in 2023 it will get ugly.

Whilst I like the fact they’re training it seems this is effectively preseason training, especially with mark finucane involved.
And also training at MIN Res (we’re not the only at their HQ).
How is that sanctioned in their time off?
They’re allowed to do what they want with their time off, if that means going down to the park and exercising then so be it.
They don’t have to be there

This is from the CBA
Clubs can’t force players to attend the club during leave but they can provide them with training guidelines and players are required to return from leave in reasonable condition
Players are also allowed to use club facilities if they choose
There are also different requirements around injured players which would allow for Mark Finucane to be working with Naitanui for example
Good to see they are building somewhat of a base during October. Feels like over the last few years they enjoy themselves up to the midway part of November and the go hard at it in December to work all the weight off ....then breakdown come Jan/Feb.
So far Darling, Shuey, Yeo, Culley, Witherdon, Nic Nat , Clarke, Chesser, Cole, West, Edwards, Sheed , Jammo, Jones, J Williams & Kelly have all returned early.

I thought last preseason around this time and even closer to the start of the season we looked good, until the practice games when everyone got injured and then got struck down with covid.
The guys working for half of what they can get in the private sector? Good luck with finding anyone better.
