Training 2023 Preseason + training discussion

[King Huskii]

But he singled him out as doing his hammy in the game, so he obviously thought they were different players. The mystery continues....

They look very similar

 

[Piggy Smalls]

You need to go to the Royal mate.
Great spot

I remember having quite the arvo there before the 2012 EF against Geelong

 

[King Huskii]

Benning was completely cooked there!

Benning will be playing ressies

He can't even get his hands on it. Looks unfit and out of place.

Match sim report

Today the players did a 50 minute warm up before a 5 quarter match sim.

After the match sim they did extra work with medicine balls and other activities by this time I left to head home

Teams divided evenly in ability especially in the midfield.

I wont break down each quarter as I have given running commentary already.

I promised a Fyfe report and here it is:
Fyfe performed better today up forward than Fridays sim. He looks fit strong and agile. He led well, flew for marks. A few strong marks mixed with dishing out some great hands in close.

He looks primed and no rush as it's a long pre season to be dominant.

The West could not have sunk the dagger into his back any harder. He may never get back to his best but not many elite players do at his age. Pretty shameful article to be honest.

Backs looked composed all game. Young pin point, Clark with terrific vision and run. Cox and Pearce very solid defensively.

Walker looks electric

Walters was very creative and skilful. He looks dangerous and primed for round one. Switta played forward and mid. Was dangerous up the ground with laser kicks and a few goals. Shultz big tackles and goals. Those three look dangerous.

Best key forward was Tracey. Leads hard and kicks well. Could have kicked more goals but had some defensive intercepts due to a few kicks not reaching him properly. Banfield needs to improve his delivery. His kicking was the only lowlight of training.

Amiss was creative up the ground and kicked a great goal.

A player who deserve a big mention is Brodie. Could not have run harder with great link up work and over lap play.

JOM is ready for the midfield ditto Serong and Brayshaw

Eurasmus was in everything. He wants a mid berth and put his hand up big time. He may need to position on the wing or half-forward as its a bloody strong midfield to break into. Johnno exactly the same. They look like future guns. Just don't know how they fit in.

Darcey and Jackson dominate the air but look dangerous at ground level. Jackson is a midfielder who pushes forward and Darcey looks as fit as ive seen.

The only thing stopping Freo this season would be their fixture being one of the hardest in the comp. Hamling trains well and hope he's good enough if Pearce or Cox misses games. Also if Tabs gets injured and Tracey and Amiss still finding their feet. Barring that which may not affect them I can't see why Freo won't make top 4. This is the best they have trained since 2013.

They look ready to explode. No purple glasses on. They run hard all day and execute so well. I'm also prepared to cop it from people if they disagree as we are all free to have differing opinions.

Thanks all guys and gals who read my reports. I hope I bring some joy to your days during pre season.

Thanks KH.. Loving your work very much!

I need to know if it was Worner that got injured. Will make me VERY sad if so.

I'm sure it was

Reading through this thread...

Cheers King Huskii and all other watchers for your brilliant work

 

[kuhni]

From what I've seen the team that trades out their star (as long as the player actually wants to leave) almost always does better out of the trade.

For an extreme example, Doggies lost Higgins, Cooney and Griffen in 2014 and won a flag 2 years later

Neale?

 

[drxce]

I'm sure it was

My entire week was made by your initial post and then ruined by this reply

Thanks for bringing us all the information KH

 

[DeanS]

Eurasmus was in everything.

Sweet dreams are made of this.

It may not be all that bad. He limped off. It did look like a hammy as Joose mentioned

 

[Van_Dyke]

The last couple of articles from The West have to be a result of that new Sports Editor they brought in right? Those articles are straight trolling and a new low from them.

who is the new sport editor?

 

[Wobbly Punt]

who is the new sport editor?

Barry D Knifeinback

Ah, that makes sense, ........ Goosages brother in law.

As said last week, when chasing up sporting news reports :-

Social media >>>>>>>>> accredited media.

 

[Purple Jesus]

Can’t Fremantle FC just purchase the land off them? Make a grandstand with perhaps AFLW games to be played there? Last went there 2 years ago, nothing has even progressed.

Hmmm what could possibly have gotten in the way the last few years...

[stax on the mull]

Looked like Pearce in the yellow going for the mark in the forward line before that Schultz free kick for a tackle near the goalsquare/goal rectangle.

Last minute thing perhaps to help get the winning goal?

The Undisputed Heavyweight World Champion of Training Reports King Huskii has done it again. You're the best part of my day KH - thx.

 

[Boomer93]

First of all I just wanna say thank you to all the training reporters, unreal stuff!

But I just wanna make a point, these training reports are an example of why podcasts and the like have taken off. People doing things passionately and not purely for money do a way better job.

These reports are just so much better then the cookie cutter dribble by the "proffesional journalists".

 

[Docker82]

Hmmm what could possibly have gotten in the way the last few years...

DevelopmentWA often land bank reasonably valuable land for several years in case it’s needed for development in the future. Happens all over the State.

Very much doubt it’s a Covid thing as they do the same all the time anyway.

 

[DQ 4EVER]

Further to my post the other day, anyone know a decent pub near the MCG where you can celebrate after a win? Something that pops circa late September?


Benning multiple AA defender confirmed?

Cricketer's Arms is small, but always has a footy crowd after the game

Agree - all I will say is that DevWA have higher land development priorities than that piece of Cockburn at the moment, but they won't be up for selling the land in its current configuration.
