Any confirmation that the players held a Brayshaw-less 100 x 100s yesterday?

No but Jackson posted a picture of him and his brother just after a run it looked like on Christmas day.

From discussions with a Freo coach

• Cox has come back in the best shape of his career and is already fair ahead of his normal training block
• JOM has impressed and will slot straight into Mundys spot
• Can hardly believe how well Jackson moves and the things he does, only just begun to touch his potential. Players love him

Can see Coxy going to another level this season. Seems to have clicked for him now, he is an elite modern day defender.

But that also worry’s me. Adelaide are going to come for in a big way with big money end of next season.

He is an Pre-agent at end of next year too?

Players not trapped in state away from fam so likely they've all just done their own programs

I'm expecting big things from ... that Sausage Dog 'Training the house down'!

He's got more hustle than the Brayshaw boys. Barely jogging they are.

Contracted to 2024 where he would be a free agent so yes pre agent end of 2023 season.

I wouldn't expect either Adelaide side to entertain the extortion level trade price to release an AA key defender under contract.

I get the worry, but I think that is normal, everyday garden variety worry for many football fans. The reality is we just lost Logue, Lobb and Acres, all of whom are from WA.

At some stage we may use one of our top liners in a trade to get a player we really want. I am a little disappointed in the trade return for Logue although the trade was functional, and Jackson and Corbett are going to make Logue redundant as a forward. The club made it clear it has a business like mindset to contracts. Absolute pros.

There was speculation regarding Erasmus and Johnson on the best 22 thread. They are long term keepers imo, but a KPF available on the market may raise some questions.

It's an interesting concept the 100 X 100's run, probably more about endurance than speed even though you think of speed because of the distance.

100 X 35 seconds that they allow for each 100 is 58.33 minutes. You would need to keep moving.

As a matter of interest have any of you fit young things on here ever attempted to do the 100 x 100's? If so how difficult is it? If they ran on the beach sand that would add to the degree of difficulty also.

At the end of the day it is just running 10k - and if it takes an hour that is not fast, anyone that can run for an hour would do 10k. I think it is more about doing it on Christmas Day when no one else would be training.

Running 100 x 100s is not the same as running 10 km though, despite the distance being equal.

Running 10 km non-stop can be either low or high aerobic depending on the intensity. High intensity intervals should either be high aerobic or anaerobic, again depending on how intense they're training at.

Great fitness requires time spent in all three zones (low/high aerobic and anaerobic), most in low, 2nd most in high, least in anaerobic, with the percentages determined by what you're training for.

One way to think about it is low-aerobic is your base fitness, training at this level maintains what you already have. High aerobic is game day zone, training here will improve fitness, but you only need say 1 session a week at this level. Anaerobic work (intervals) are where most of your gains are made; you do interval training to change where you base fitness level is at.

FYI for anyone interested - low-aerobic is heart rate below ~150bpm, high is ~150 - 170 bpm, anaerobic ~>170. These numbers vary significantly depending on physical characteristics, age etc. I would expect AFL athletes would be close to the above though.

FYI number 2, zones, while provided by heart rate, are actually determine by lactate thresholds. Lactate production is linear within the low and high zones, but they have different gradients, meaning you produce more lactate per unit time in the high aerobic zone, but it's still within the body's capability to process it. At anaerobic level the body is producing lactate faster than it can process it, hence why we can only spend a limited duration at these intensities.

It won't just be jogging out 35 second 100 metre jaunts. They're fairly banging them out.

Having thousands of punters attend a free Kasey Chambers concert on our training ground in February, I ask myself why? Is there no where else it could be held? I get that the risk of damage to the turf and subsequently a player is very small, but what is the benefit to offset even a tiny risk?

Casey Chambers
It will be picnic rugs with wine and cheese
I wouldn't sweat it

Speak for yourself! I'll be up the front moshing like a mad man to 'True Colours'

So maybe a player will cut themselves on a piece of broken wine bottle overlooked in the clean up!
I get it, the risk is extremely small, but would Man City welcome a concert on their training ground a month before the season? It's not as if there's no alternative venue.

So you'll be to blame when the players roll their ankle... jokes

Freo FC may not have a say in it.

It may be the Cockburn Shire

Otherwise I agree with you

True the club may not have been consulted. That could be worse than if they were.

 

[greatgatsby]

I like Casey - I reckon she would be a Freo sort of woman.

Haha, all 5'9 76kgs of me will definitely rip the grass up

Yeah I'm sure their studs would do more damage

On another note how good is mashing

Its been a while for me

Fremantle recruit Luke Jackson heads to Bali, Indonesia for silly season​

Fremantle recruit Luke Jackson has wasted no time reconnecting with his West Aussie roots, spending his first Christmas break since moving home to Perth drinking Bintangs in Bali.

After joining the Dockers on a lucrative contract in the trade period following a premiership with Melbourne, Jackson is spending the silly season living it up on the holiday island with mates, including Collingwood defender Trey Ruscoe.

The 21-year-old posted pictures from his trip on Instagram on Wednesday night in a post captioned “good times”.
In one picture, a chiselled Jackson is donning Fremantle budgy smugglers by a pool while holding a beer.

Others show him and his friends riding mopeds and hitting the Bali nightlife.




Sad to see Jackson letting himself go in the offseason... So out of shape... Cool swimsuit though. lol

 

[Taylor]

It certainly looks cool
