Training 2025 Pre-Season - Standards are currently being driven

[Daniltchenko You Beauty]

The only elite kick on our list right now is sheezel.
Few others who are above average or good.
It’s not just about hitting a target, it’s picking the right target and kicking it to their advantage.

Tucker, logue, fisher are not it.
Daniels and Powell decent
Can see McKercher is clever and careful by foot but had some absolute howlers coming out of defence this year.

I assume Daniels decent means Caleb Daniel? If so, seek help. You are on drugs.

 

[zoomba23]

Some of McKercher’s howlers were due to his teammates not providing any options for him.

Lucky that won't be a problem this year. FOS and Daniel are very kindly taking on the unenviable task of kicking to the immobile brick wall that is our entire front half

 

[chubbspeterson]

Can you be bothered elaborating a bit more on this brief chat? Understand if can’t be arsed.

He started off sarcastically asking whether we'd be premiers, which was pretty stupid given where we've finished and I think he knew it when he asked the question. I just said something like maybe next year. Then he had a bit of a go because I wasn't all that optimistic. Again he may have just thought it was a bit of friendly banter and thought it was funny. But I guess given his past comments about the club I took it more negatively and wasn't all that happy with it.
Probably a little reactive on my part and perhaps I should've got stuck into him about the Pies.
In hindsight I wish I'd replied with you never know given the league is fairly even and an average Pies team just won a flag two year ago.

****ING FINALLY!!!!! YES!

Someone who can take their rose coloured glasses off and look at this team objectively.

I would have to say Larkey is an elite kick, no one has mentioned him.

 

[Gasometer]

I think I’ve been on about ball handling all summer tbh

Well during summer there often isn't much else to do so I suppose if doing that keeps you occupied then that's ok. Just as long as you aren't doing it in public.

Yes. Most accurate shot for goal in the competition. However, I should say its more oriented about getting the ball to him

I like to lather em up in public, get a nice shine going

 

[Gasometer]

Often it’s a game of inches…missed handballs, missed kicks/marks by inches. It’s the difference between success and failure. If we can improve on this we are going to go well this year

 

[ferball]

About 5 years in

Yeah four or five years in. That's about right for rucks tho.

#notadoctor but you really need to get that checked out…

Doctor said they’ll get some reverse in the second session..

Why is it so hard to find Training Times on the Nmfc App/website?

Any chance of Nmfc media doing some video?

Its not that hard mate...

Yep. Thats my point.

 

[ferball]

Yep. Thats my point.

I agree with you dude. Men are usually at their strongest physically in the second half of their 20s and given the nature of most ruck contests that's what younger rucks have to compete with.

I've mentioned this so sorry for repeating myself but in the WC game that we lost Kerch and what's his name played and Kerch looked thirsty times the player (except for one incredibly good speccy.)

Thirsty Kerch had some very good songs in the early 2000s!

 

[Gippy Roo]

l just read where William Duursma is training with the Dawks pre-season. Anyone know if he was offered the opportuntity to train with us seeing as we have 1 of his brothers?

The Hawks have the Gippsland Zone which is why the AFL would have selected Willem to go there. He is a Foster/Gippy Power boy.

Would you believe it was a hot day in Hobart?

(No me either lol.)

Thread photo is cooked.. its like looking at a mash up of Zurhaar and helen mirren

 

[berniemccarthy]

Has all the attributes to be our best mid.

So did Tarryn Thomas. Theoretical at present.
