Training 2024 Pre-Season

[Joffaboy]

I went to training today and heard Ross say to one of the other assistant coaches that Ari has a really expressive face which really bothers him. Make of it what you will.

The rumour around those who know is that the spate of departures at the Saints have all been because of Arie bullying them... it is not really widely known so keep it on this forum please. Wouldn't want Mitch Cleary or Kano getting wind of it.

About time we had someone with some attitude.

We’ve been bat shig boring for over a decade.

Ping away.

 

[StFly]

It’s literally what the article says mate

Also indicated he wasn't really adjusting to being out of Tassie, hence the "settle into living in a new city whilst being a full-time athlete" part. Not just a fitness maintenance thing, though as that article shows his previous indiscretions will haunt him as AFL media are like dogs in that space and just shit on everything.

I heard Arie doesn’t put his trolley back in the trolley bay

Players need to be aware that these days there’s always gonna be someone filming and sharing any stuff ups

“Bridge professional standards”

Yikes

Looks like what I was told might have a truthful ring about it ...... happy to receive an apology for those that had a go

Not possible. RTB only comments on lack of expression, silly.
Garcia's a specialty.

 

[Sarcoidevo]

Gee some posters really got this wrong

The club are correct in saying there wasnt an offield incident .... there was no incident whatsoever ..... but its more about his offield activities affecting what happens the following day ..... BTW I am not one care if you believe it or not ..... and no ..... I am not going to reveal my sources

Maybe this is being overplayed by everyone - any true Saints supporter wants the lad to succeed - but clearly he has been given a message by RTB - get to work u are off the pace for whatever reason.

Pretty sure RTB banished Sonny Walters to the WAFL for months due to his physical condition - I think Walters says that tough love turned him around as a footballer - something sound familiar?

Hope I’ve got the story right!

Dunno, it might be as simple as wanting to smash him physically at Moorabbin & get him to be more involved with footy drills at Sandy.

Do an extra session at Sandy Ari, keep your touch up… work your arse off at Saints training getting the weight off & miles into your legs.

Makes perfect sense to me.

Keep him busy in other words.

No idea what your talking about.

But if a player was doing something that was jeopardising his ability to give 100% to the cause and causing serious issues - he wouldn’t be spending 1 day at Sandringham. He would be there full time and not back to Moorabbin until he straightened up.

What it does sound like is a genuine story I’ve heard from many a saint under Ross in the grand final years.

Not fit enough and skin folds aren’t at correct levels…. So you run and run and run until you get there.

Track watchers said that’s all he did yesterday…. And I imagine his one night a week at Sandy will be their heavy leg session too.

Pretty clear he is being disciplined

No one else is

Disciplining a player.

Then lying about it when asked.

Sheesh, house of cards are going to come crumbling down when Caro starts digging

Honestly I’d hope the club is protecting him. I don’t think it’s nothing but who cares. The club is not going to just lay him out to dry.

It's seems you can't read

There has been no offield incident so the club haven't lied to anyone

stavro#4 this is the H/S Ari update

That makes sense so it's about him having a level to compete at whilst under going a heavy training block at the saints

 

[_Maximus_12]

Someone make the noise stop please

 

[Saintbloke]

Player gets disciplined, what's new? Let's concentrate on the bigger picture.

I’m old and grey enough to remember when RTB v1 dropped Milney and Dal to send a message to them and everyone else.

Pretty hard to drop a guy who isn’t best 22 when there aren’t even any games happening, but surely this is the same “sending a message” tactic.
