Preview 2024 Goodbye (To 2025) New; Preseason Discussion

[TeeKray]

About time they were back to be frank. When was their last training session, about a week before Christmas? This is on top of the couple months they get off after the season is finished.

Semi pro athletes paid like full time professionals.

It's laughable that full time professional footballers getting paid on average over $400k per year would struggle to actually kick a football more than 200 days a year.

you guys are still taking footy too seriously and don't understand the new Port Adelaide, training hard in January is cringe, do you know how far away the season is?!

it's all part of the the AFL CBA, so every club is doing the same thing as far as leave and achieving the "work-life balance" the AFLPA demanded. They all get shit loads of time off.

Port Adelaide defender Lachie Jones says he is hopeful a trip he and fellow young guns Jason Horne-Francis and Josh Sinn took stateside to learn more about soft tissue injury prevention will not only benefit them but the wider playing list.
The Power resumed pre-season after the Christmas break for players on Thursday.
It was a light session for Power players, with the entire playing list bar Tom Anastasopoulos (knee) on the track.
Rigiouress testing will be conducted on Friday for the playing group.
Defenders Miles Bergman and Ryan Burton and forward Sam Powell-Pepper participated fully in drills after being managed prior to the break.

Been in Ballarat nearly a month now, guess I should check in and see what's going on.

• Everyone here sounds like Ken.
• I really need to see the ocean again.
• Not sure they know there are more then 10 clubs in the AFL over here
