2015 Pre-Season (All news, press conferences, training reports)

[POBT]

Otherwise. I like it.

Was my dad's nickname for me when I was a kid.

"Behave yourself Otherwise I'll belt you."

Anyone know if Staker is fit to start pre-season?

Edit: Sorry, read further up the thread and found the answer. Yes

He was on the bike this morning, never a good look

 

[Quigley]

With his injuries I would expect that he would be on a modified program with the aim of slowly building his workload. I would be surprised if he was doing back to back days this early.

Good footage of the boys putting in some hard yards at Yeronga, there is also a shot of Dayne Beams having a run in the training kit at 0:55.

Beware the wounded lion...

Some real muscle on Cutler, Clarke, Freeman and even Lewy Taylor...looking good at the start of pre-season

Any confirmation that Aish has been seen smiling during Pre-Season?

Incidentally, this would also give us insight into the mouthguard situation.

Can confirm that he was walking around with his arm around Zorks shoulder this morning, maybe we should be worried about Zorks?

Nah not worried. Zorko and aish to Adelaide and walker and Dangerfield and their first round pick to us. (Am I doing it right collingwood).

Yes, but only if you come out and say afterwards that Zorko only has speed and is being carried by Rockliff and that Aish is a one skill wonder in a midfield that is better without him.

Awesome to see so many senior players turning up with the 1-4 years. Redden and Beams in particular.

 

[SizeMatters]

Beams and the other new recruits would be feeling the heat when they all start training. The last couple of years of living down in Victoria would have made Beams soft. I wonder what he would be thinking after coming from the world class top of the line Westpac centre to Yeronga footy club.

From what I could tell he looked like he was loving it, had a grin from ear to ear when he was dong contested work

Stupid like ban cannot like this post. If I could I would give it a hundred. Nothing beats home and family.

Interesting point. To be honest though the amount of players that broke down at Collingwood, and also their overall ladder position would say that top line facilities doesn't guarantee anything. Not every club has elite facilities but it probably would attract more players there as well as making things easier when it comes to training. We're unlucky in that we have to share the Gabba which is why it's important to have a firm plan in action about the new training facility soon.

He made a joke on twitter that mentions the Brisbane Lions....Surely he would have been laughing/smiling at his own tweet?

Does that count?

Aish for Adelaide's first round pick + Talia + Dangerfield + Another untouchable.

 

[Simba Moyo]

Sloane?

 

[Schache It Off]

Sloane?

Still wouldn't be fair. You gotta remember Aish is very young but full of potential and will hit his prime very soon.

Talia, Dangerfield, Sloane + Untouchables are all overrated and lets be honest, the moment they leave Adelaide they will be crap (I.e defensively poor at the game). Should probably post a deadline soon.

You're right. They'd all struggle to get games in our midfield anyway. I mean, if Crisp was struggling to get a game, Dangerfield has no hope.

 

[SRH17]

One thing I have always suspected, but seeing them together this morning confirms- Claye is the better kick.
It was also nice to see Ash McGrath watching the boys, discretely from near the coaches boxes.

 

[jackess]

Great to see Dayne Beams out there. Must be keen to earn his spot.

 

[josephs_79]

Does someone not know how to use a camera?? (Yes I get they were trying for effect). The out of focus stuff was annoying.

Was good to see the boys working. They all looking good!

 

[Jubair]

I don't think I saw DBeams in that video at all. It looked more like Claye because of the running style and built. Did I miss something?

 

[Davemonkey]

Definitely Dayne at 0:55 too much hair for Claye (who was in the opening group from memory).
