2016 Pre-Season (All news, press conferences, training reports, Photos)

[M Malice]

Morning everyone,

Not sure if this is in the correct thread but it is about pre season.

Darren burgess was on the radio last night talking about preseason training.

Really interesting listening considering everyone rates him as the best in the business.

Schwarz asked: would you rather take a footballer or an athlete?
DB: footballer. Stats show teams with better skills hold the ball longer, don't burn out there petrol tickets. Being super efficient creates confidence. So when commentators say it's superior fitness it's a furphy! All teams are relatively super fit.


Schwarz: why aren't you going O/S training?
DB: mainly due to soft cap spending. Tax. Got out what they needed previously.

Does make a lot of sense. Hope Austin develops that stronger body, with that balance of not sacrificing injuries. ( aka the weapon style of training) But get on the skills please! 2 years ago it was the blanket- this year should be the 50c coin. Hit that target boys!

what station was that? would like to have a listen.

Lions' instagram shows that Bastinac has already started his preseason with the group - a couple weeks earlier than what is required of him. Love seeing this commitment from a new recruit!

Am hoping Freeman can take his endurance to another level this pre-season. Looks quality from the times l have seen him.

 

[SizeMatters]

Expecting big things from Bastinac.

Noticed Rich and Robinson in pics - love seeing the boys get down to training before they're due back. Great attitude

They've all got offseason fitness regimes to stick to while they're on break so I'd imagine that if you're in Brisbane its probably easier motivation wise to do your running with a group down at training rather than on your own. For someone new to the city like Bastinac its an easy way to meet new people and get to know your new teammates while keeping up your training.

Apparently a whole heap of them have, inc. Green which pleases me. He was a fair way off his best in 2015.

Do you know who?

Do you know who?

From memory; Rich, Zorko, Bewick, Green, Bastinac, Robinson...all not required back 'til late Nov.

Bastinac said he was only there today and definitely wouldn't be coming back until the 23rd.

Get them while they are stretching along the fence at the end of training. Or you could wait till the end of warm down and then ask.

 

[iBeng]

Sweet as.

How'd you go?

 

[Milux]

How'd you go?

Didnt go today. Going monday.

Ah yes, the classic "it's for my kid" routine. The players can never say no to that.

Last year I made a point of telling my boy to thank 'Mr Green' for his autograph. Scored me a selfie with the ranga from Tassie.

Yeah bud. Haha.
