Training 2021 Pre-Season Training Discussion

I just hope we stop kicking the ball as high as the moon to players who are poor contested marks

Every single time

Still a step up from our 2019/20 tactic of kicking straight to unmarked opposition defenders.

Eddie Betts took that hanger one time which justifies us using the smallest person on the field as a contested marking option.

Tyson Stengle got high a few times too.

I loved Ben Hart's tactic of clearing space in the center of our forward 50 for opposition players to work into.

How generous of us

Have you seen some of the threads he creates on a Friday night ?
Need another Mod to Moderate him

when a duffer like WW is made a mod (silently I note) then anything is possible

Surely on another board, can't be this one.

Deaneus! has gone mad with power.

 

[Vader]

Especially the short ones who are being double teamed by two big blokes

I know sometimes you’ve just got to persist and things will turn around...

But no.

... but ... but ... but... Lachlan Murphy, and before him Eddie Betts, are the two best contested markers in our entire forward line. Why wouldn't we want to bomb it high on top of their heads?

** Sadly, the first part of that statement is probably true.

Wont be anymore once we get young thilthorpe in there..everything will change as he is a 6 foot 8 contested marking beast

This is crap, I’ve always been crazy, I never needed power

Well, you're off Elliot Himmelberg Christmas card list with that comment.

(Though, it was definitely true until the bye last year).

aaaannnnnddddd that will be the last time he travels with the team...

 

[ams4crows]

This is stupid, does that mean all aflw teams can't train in groups because we can't?

How do we have any hope of finishing a whole season in either men's or women's leagues if one person gets it and whole states are locked down?

I was going to say "where there is a will, there is a way", but before that I should say "where there are $$$$$$ involved, there will always be a will".

That's a worse outcome than the two WA clubs having 5 days of restricted training

We'll kick it to his toes

 

[Big Dub]

We'll kick it to his toes

He's also pretty good on the deck. We will need to kick to the loose opposition player in our f50.

So, business as usual.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Shouldn't the AFL be stopping all teams from training for 2 weeks to ensure equity

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

That's a worse outcome than the two WA clubs having 5 days of restricted training

Imagine if the Victorian clubs couldn't train for 5 days - all clubs would have their training suspended.

We're going to play Port 22 times

 

[Crow till I die]

is that a play on I'm Eugene (ie everyone pretends they are port)

 

[Mutineer]

WOW!
