Training 2021 - Preseason Thread

[Chad in Vegas]

The only way that is the same person is if we have developed a machine that extracts pure life force so we can inject it directly into Yeo's groin and Foley has been the donator.

I'm sure Yeo's groin would have no shortage of willing donors.

 

[NSLK]

If that person looks anything like Hickmott or Foley, consider me Miles Davis.

If you look anything like Miles Davis, consider me Stevie Wonder.

Is that Foley closest to the boundary in this photo? If so, the AFL don't know who he is either as the caption on the article is; Elliot Yeo (centre) joins former Lion Alex Witherden

Star Eagle resumes training after enforced OP layoff

West Coast midfielder Elliot Yeo returned to the track on Monday as he works his way back from an osteitis pubis injury

While we are on Foley, it was disappointing not to see him up near the front for the 2km time trial. When he was recruited I was told that distance running was his strength.

When did Lamb rejoin us?

Here are pictures of Ainsworth in his draft year:

When he first got to the Club:

And this is him now today:

Most player put on bulk and beef up after three years in the system, start developing a rig on them.

He seems to be getting skinnier and thinner every season, at this rate on muscle decline at the start of next season he is going to look one of the extras in Schindlers List.

The thing that got me last season was this: he seems to be a lot skinnier than when he first played for us.... BUT ....... he now seemed a lot slower.

I just don't get that ......... you loose mass and get slower..... WTF

Look at his legs.

Has no power in them whatsoever.

Whoever is his S&C Coach needs to take a long hard look at what they are doing with him because he's not built for AFL after this many seasons at the club.

The height based off Yeo lines up. Rough night and squinting in to the sun and that could be the same dude. Either that or Hickmott has some explaining to do to Foley's Dad.

Looks like Kyal Horsely - new development coach, former Subiaco premiership captain and Gold Coast AFL player.

Despite all appearances he is only 33.

 

[Doashuey]

Which direction?

Away from you.

That photo, like one from last year, is doing my head in. I can't see a world in which the next 1 to 2 seconds of that sequence can possibly be anything other than a disaster.

I also concur regarding size, he will be making front page of women's weekly soon next to Celine Dion. WTF are they doing with his weights program?

In fairness to Ainsworth our captain did produce this gem last season...

Looks a lot older than 33

In fairness to our Captain that was about the only way to generate an inside 50 that didn't rebound straight back out again last season. Revolutionary.

[The wily weagle]

As much as I want to roast our strength and conditioning guys for incompetence, the fact that a lot of our kids aren't really getting bigger and stronger after years in the system must be a directive from the coaching staff/higher ups

We seem to value running power over anything else. Never mind that a lot of our boys struggle to break and stick tackles........

Its frustrating, because at the end of the day, as helpful as running power is, this is football, not track and field.

Its still to this day the only plausible reason I can see that Chris Masten

[eagles rule]

What is he doing with that ball? I can’t even tell what leg he is going to kick with.

Also, the kid desperately needs to be introduced to the squat rack

left handed ball drop looks awkward but probably practicing his kicking on the RHS leg ..

17 and already going the comb forward

 

[Chris_6678]

Good to see Barrass has bulked up somewhat and is looking very reminiscent of Schofield 2015. Because he got out muscled on to many occasions during the 2019 - 2020 season.

Kelly looking a lot more trim compared to this time last year which is pleasing.

 

[RookiePick]

...Kelly looking a lot more trim compared to this time last year which is pleasing.

This shit is not pleasing. Kelly dominated at Geelong by being a good size to mix it up inside and out. Another heavier set mid to spread the workload with Shuey and Yeo is one of Kelly's main appeals. I don't think Kelly faded in any games last year from fitness?

The players will only lose size from here as they get closer to Round 1 and the cardio loads go through the roof. Slimming Kelly down too much would be like buying a race car and taking off the aero-kit to save weight. Performance will decrease.

I agree but last year he returned with a few extra kegs on him and he only really looked fitter towards the back end of the year.

Barrass has always been quite big and at times in his career had to cut trim down. I think a lot of his issues arise from his positioning and general body work. That said I don’t think his legs are that big and getting stronger through the legs and core will help him a lot

Barrass seems to like making contact very late in the contest. Superior bodywork players like, J. Reiwoldt, can exploit him with a timely counter bump that leaves Barrass no time to reengage before the ball arrives. The strongest guys, like Dixon and Hawkins, simply hold their ground and protect the drop.

So in short, I agree.
