Training 2024 Preseason reports and discussion

[Iceman!]

Hawks Social team have posted "I Spent A Day With Jai Newcombe" & is now LIVE in YouTube!



The Yo Yo test details are referenced around the 15 min mark

Enjoy

This was truly elite! Would love to get more of these over the pre season. Gives you a snap shot of what they are doing throughout the sessions and gives you a glimpse of the personalities that we don't get to see a lot of unless you are able to get down to trainings.

Absolutely, it's probably one of my top 3 favourites of theirs with Eulogy and Prison Sex.

The overall playlist of that video has some genuine gym time bangers:

Get Free - The Vines
No Happy Ever After - BFMV
The Pot - Tool
Becoming the Bull - Atreyu
Headstrong - Trapt

Lead singer of the Vines is my best mate brother in law. Craig who has
Aspergers is one talented dude that can play any instrument you give him but struggles to do something as simple as pay a bill online.

My main reaction was to thank god I'm not expected to work that hard at my job.

Genuinely jealous. Would love my work day to involve all of this.

Also, interesting how Duke mentioned it wasn't a very big day all things considered. Makes you realise how hard pre-season training is for these guys.

How is Bennetts travelling?

 

[Steven Tyler]

How is Bennetts travelling?

By car, as there is still no train line out to Waverley

Josh weddle is an absolute freakshow athletically

 

[leighdogg]

Good on ya Moorey, spoken like a true fan.

 

[Pinoy Hawk]

 

[GinniAndTonic]

Butler beating Finn is massive.

 

[Roddy]

Not sure why I didn't realise this, but Weddle's still ONLY 19!!

Monumental upside.

 

[Newmo89]

Top 5 did a phenomenal effort in the conditions that they were dealt with, but I'm massively impressed by Jack Scrimshaw

, Josh Bennetts, Bailey Macdonald and Henry Hustwaite who all lodged PBs for the time trial.

JB, HH & BMac being second year players is such a positive sign, and seeing Scrim do his PB after 8 years in the system shows that the penny might have dropped and he realises that talent alone won't take him the whole way.

Super effort by the guys!

 

[TylerDurden]

Butler. Something has clicked. Lookout.

 

[Newmo89]

Butler. Something has clicked. Lookout.

It kind of had to. Ginnivan and Watson arriving puts massive pressure on him, as do Bennetts and O'Sullivan who are both showing impressive signs. Competition for spots is definitely going to be a thing all year

 

[Hodgey 15]

Butler. Something has clicked. Lookout.

Hope your right TD.
Love to see him take next step with the talent he has.

 

[Millsie69]

Sorry to be that guy, but did DGB finish last in the time trial? Lol

 

[cs61]

Butler, Ward, CMac all drafted 3 years ago in same draft, all finishing top 5 in time trial.

 

[HawthornHawk]

Butler. Something has clicked. Lookout.

Based on MacDonald's interview on the first day, Butler has been dealing with some injuries and is finally over them. Also helps that he's ditched that haircut

 

[Brishawk]

Sorry to be that guy, but did DGB finish last in the time trial? Lol

Probably not but really for him its not about beating team mates over the line so much as it is about closing the gap between where he was and afl standard of endurance.

 

[Brishawk]

Hope your right TD.
Love to see him take next step with the talent he has.

When i watch him play, he always looks like he is playing within himself. I wonder how much of this is mindset v fitness. With this kind of improvement in fitness we are on the verge of finding out!

I still suspect he needs to work on his forward craft but that will hopefully come with more games and maturity and confidence that his body can deliver.

 

[hawkinoz]

Unless you watched this live, that is a troll bait. Why do it?

Also unlikely, should be ahead of the big boys in Tucker, Reeves & Meek. As long as he improves on his PB, it is all good.

A rundown of the day from Burgey

 

[SSSSSS]

WOW Butler.

Breakout season?

 

[Elhawko]

Any word on how Ramma went? His athleticism is his biggest weapon so interested to know if he is still among the leaders running-wise if anyone had that info?

I’m sure I read when we drafted Amon that he won PAs time trial for years on end so it’s amazing that so many of our young guys seemed to have pushed passed him. There again, maybe I’m just misremembering - it’s entirely possible!
