Ok distract yourselves with these:

Surely there should be a NSFW tag on these

Do I understand Young is not part of the main group still?

So it seems he's not getting a gig this week which means he'd be unlikely round 1 right?

Mundy and Young doing kick to kick this morning, both feet - pure sex.

Think this is my favourite pic from today... Serong is going to be a gun. So are Brayshaw and Cerra.

My fave was the one where Dixon was chasing with an absolute desperation look on his face.

 

[FreoRicci]

Maybe Cerra. Is it just my imagination or does Cerra look a bit quicker this year?

He’s always been quick. Just he burns out throughout games. A fitter tank and he sustain it for longer periods.

You'll be pleased to know that they spent a fair bit of time today practising the long kick into the forward line with Lobb, Tabs and Hughes competing for the contested mark.

The long kick or the long bomb? One means trying to hit a target, the other is a hail mary (which hasn't worked for us in years)

Long bomb to a pack - Scham's favourite tactic...

Hoping this is just for abit of fun or no clear option available?
No wonder in the past we have been accused of not being able to develop talls.
Oscar Allen has played 22 games for 20 goals, somethings gotta give.

I think it is a legitimate tactic if you have good marking talls. You're not always going to be able to spot up a leading target, so a long kick to a dangerous spot is better than a shallow turnover. Eagles have always used this tactic knowing they have Kennedy and Darling capable of taking a mark, and now Lima Ryan to drift in for a screamer.

It should never be our preferred option, but needs to be a fall back, and needs to be practiced.

My biggest beef with the way it has been practised in the past was the emphasis on NOT marking, but getting it to ground for the smalls. This tactic hasn't worked for us since the days when Ballas and Walters were in their prime. If you have a chance to mark it, MARK the bloody thing!!!

Interesting training report from the club...

Darcy led the ruck with a midfield of Nat Fyfe, Andrew Brayshaw and Adam Cerra for the ‘White’ team with Brett Bewley and Cam McCarthy on the wings.

Meek, Darcy Tucker, Caleb Serong and Mitch Crowden were in the engine room for the team in red bibs, with Michael Frederick and Connor Blakely on the outside.

Training: Match focus continues

Fremantle held their weekly main training session on Wednesday as they prepare for Saturday's Marsh Community Series clash against West Coast

Makes sense putting Mitch on red to even out Fyfe being in white.

At least someone on here takes player sponsorship seriously.

I don't subscribe to the buddy system. I treat players as per their abilities.

Cant catch a break.


I give up.

I’m glad they were competing for the mark and not deliberately dropping it like in past years. Sanity prevails!

Totally agree. 100%

Anyone else feel like we are in some strange dreamland where Cerra is clearly in our starting 3 mids...

A better kick

What do you blokes expect from him

Having a good pre season. Had his first hit out in a long time, looked very rusty. Needs more games to get his touch back.
