Training 2024 Pre-Season

[Saint Watto]

Watto…nice to see you’ve gone upmarket to multiple question marks…getting in the full repertoire now I see!

Thanks for that saintmike65.

As they say in the classics.....variety is the key to life! (brakes are on)

Upmarket.......ummmmm.....other way I think.

 

[DougalHoward]

Has there been an intraclub match date announced yet?

No, they do full ground match sim with short quarters at training sometimes though.

 

[SaintJunior]

No clue.

But if he was such a bad boy - then the media have gotten slack.

Usually you would have had his head on a spike and a trail of blood to his carcass.

I posted that he hasn’t trained at Sandy.

Not suggesting that Arie is doing the wrong thing just that he hasn’t trained there yet .

You see me? You see me, in the green tee and the red cap that looks (but isn't) like a MAGA hat?

I looked great

Was actually a great story. Didn't realise it was Alexander McGuire, Eddie's youngen. Did a nice job considering he was chatting to one of the Saints ladies earlier saying he was looking for an angle while at training. Put the story together nicely.

Xander McGuire did a terrific job with that story..I tried to get Mitch Cleary from 7 to do something similar last year all to no avail!!

Will be the best of the lot Arie.

Can’t wait until he barrels over Harley Reid and whispers how he played hide the pickle with his Mrs


For the Bigfooty uneducated (this is a joke post)

Pickle? Hide the butternut pumpkin more like it.

15 lol try 2mins

Like the old saying goes......quality over quantity my good Captain.

Mind you.....as you say....it was a very short piece of quality......!!!!!!!

Surely it isn't that much effort for our media team to make a video like this

Ross runs the club, and Ross loves to limit exposure. Practice matches start soon, we’ll get more from than those the dancing with the sister match sims

 

[seasonedsainter]

Didn't see one free kick paid in general play, very strange. Gresh still goal hungry as ever I reckon that assist was a shot.

Gresham going across his body from directly in front

Ah, so glad we moved him on

 

[Saint Watto]

It's a quite day at the office today and as tumble weeds were blowing thru Rsea Park last Friday.......I thought I'd put in a few observations over and above "saintmike65's" and "Kick it lace out's" great training reports from last Wednesday.

As saintmike65 stated.....it was a full on match sim session and very physical.

And the "minor" injuries were piling up.

The Pou did something to his thumb......didn't look happy going off and came back with a thumb splint on....assured everyone he was ok(they all say that tho)

As saintmike65 mentioned .......the Hammer had a nasty collision with Heath.....he was hobbling quite badly....first thought was it was a very bad ankle injury.....he could hardly walk.

When he didn't go off and was trying to run......a "corkie" came to mind and he needed to run it out....PHEW.

The Hunter collision was apparently a bad one(I was inside seeing if the cafe had sold out of Roast Beef rolls......sensational for toasties)

Upon returning.....was told Hunter had broken his nose and RTB walked with him up the race(never a good sign)......then the "chatter" went to he may have broken his jaw

It was an absolutely gut churning feeling hearing the above...........how much bad luck does this guy have to cop.....fingers crossed that whatever it was,it's not too serious.

And here's something I've never seen before........2 of our indigenous boys suffered cramp all at the same time.....bizarre !!!!!!

It was a pleasant 21C at the time.

Garcia ran past us and was really labouring......I glanced to the South Rd goal square and Hill and Nas were on their backs getting treatment......Garcia was soon on his back.

I thought I'd save the best to last.

You don't see this that often at training or during a match.

The ball came at a lightening speed out of the backline.....Big Maxy took off like an express train from the goal square on a lead.....he marked just inside the 50 directly in front.,....the ball went thru at nearly goal post height.

Hopefully no one saw me dribbling.

Memories of Roo came flooding back......if Big Maxy had the space to do this during a game,who on earth could stop him.

nah this was happening before ross.

Molten.....the chatter has gone very quiet.

I suspect that it's nothing too serious........I'm sure we would have heard if that was the case.

 

[hayes]

nah this was happening before ross.

We still have probably the worst media team in the AFL in terms of amount of content. I see other clubs put out 5-10 minute training videos, 15 minute draft breakdown videos whereas we struggle to put up the occasional 1 minute video. Staggering how little we’ve progressed in that area.

No-3 weeks

[Joffaboy]

So Clark and Dow out maybe R1.

Leaves open spots for the likes of Wilson, Ronnie, Garcia etc.
Would expect Stocker to play.

Hello!

How’s Bonner tracking and what position is he playing? Were you all surprised to pick him up?

 

[Saints17]

Well, as brutal as it looks...it's a debatable step up from the ominous jars of sexually soiled liver & shaved ham that they found up and down a certain beach in Ireland a couple of years ago.

Portnoy was complaining about that when he lost it. (That's a 60's literature reference for those that don't know)
