Preview 2024 Goodbye (To 2025) New; Preseason Discussion

[Sewer de Lance]

Today’s the day coaches normally find out who genuinely put the work in away from the confides of the club.

I know some people take issue with the amount of time players now spend away from the club, but I’m not one of those. The NFL is a good example of what team based professional athletes are expected to do in their off seasons. AFL fitness standards are more than likely at an all time high.

It's not about fitness, it's about practice and repetition of skills leading to being able to execute under pressure and fatigue because you've done it a million times before. Novak Djokovic would hit a tennis ball nearly every day of the year. Steph Curry would shoot a basketball nearly every day of the year. These AFL players and clubs are only half serious.

Wonder if Toumpas has finished yet?

If they're moving at that speed he's back in the 1800s

I’d like to know if Lachie fumble fingers worked on his lack of ball skills on his break. I think I can answer my own question.

I’m of the opinion that if you’ve made it all the way to the top (AFL list) and you’re a below average kick, or have some other deficiency it’s there forever.
Example Wines was a bog average kick when we drafted him and still is.
Yes you get the odd one that improves but in general what you see is what you get.
