Training 2021 Pre-Season Training Discussion

[hey shorty]

I have this theory - which is not backed up by any data whatsoever so don’t bother asking me for any - that clubs ruin more kids in training than they do in playing them too soon.

My second and far more provable theory is that most of the reasons given for why a naturally talented kid is being held back, come from people who themselves are not naturally talented.

Now I have to stop writing, because I am having Neil Craig flashbacks.

First bit is certainly possible, particularly those who don't play senior footy before being drafted.

The step up from juniors to AFL level training is quite steep as you'd expect, and whilst clubs do manage training loads of players there's always a chance of burn out.

i‘m just glad there‘s someone at the club who can be accused of being smart

I thought he'd left.

 

[Sanders]

This is just false.

Koschitzke won the Rising Star in his first year - beating out a field that included Daniel Kerr, Cameron Ling, Bob Murphy and Corey Enright.

Watts (in)famously debuted halfway through his first year on the Queen’s Birthday.

I remember there being questions whether no.1 pick Nick Riewoldt (who was injured and sat out his first year) would feel under even more pressure give Kosi’s fantastic first year.

Looks like David Burtenshaw has been given a part time gig as "Club Historian".

I'm pretty sure it would be something he could do on the weekends

Can't we just forget the last 20 years ever happened, with the exception of the AFLW flags and the AFLX triumph?

I'm quite happy to forget AFLX as well. The AFL already has.

How is this guy not in our leadership group?

Doesn't want to be apparently

 

[MarcusP2]

Doesn't want to be apparently

Doesn't need to be.

 

[hey shorty]

Doesn't need to be.

I'd agree with that, the players would listen to him regardless of title.

Hard to believe a small number of posters here think he's a selfish player because he didn't go in for knee surgery early enough.

Reasonable. I'd rather Tex playing for a new deal and not Tex on a victory lap until he's inevitably put out to pasture.

You'd think with us putting this out to the media and not quietly resigning him, we're umming and arring about another year.

 

[FullyBigKPro]

The only debate RE TEX this year is if he is taking the spot of a kid.

If Himmelburg/Thilthorpe/Fog etc etc are kicking bags in the SANFL and Tex is doing SFA in the seniors, then absolutely Lets move him on.

[1970crow]

Both Jack Watts, and Justin Koschitzke were played R1 after their Draft Year, for no other reason than Membership Drives ....... clearly were not ready & their careers impacted

Now that's all arguable .....but what's the rush, are we likely to be a Top 8 contender this year ......hardly

Thought Jack watts was famously held back for a fair while. I doubt he played round 1 after being drafted.

[hey shorty]

Why wouldn't Daniel Talia want to be in the leadership group?

The reasoning is he's had his time and he felt the need for change.

Whether or not we made the right change.....

TBH guys like he and Tex don't need a title to be a leader.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Talia doesn't mince words. I like his no-nonsense attitude.

 

[Sanders]

I suppose the happy clappers think he’s wrong too

 

[Sanders]

How is this guy not in our leadership group?

that’s why

 

[1970crow]

Why wouldn't Daniel Talia want to be in the leadership group?

honest and forthrightness probably isn't valued by the group. They've been conditioned to a different form of leadership. And it's paying dividends.
