Training 2024 training updates.

I reckon we may have just stolen a top 20 pick for nothing with parker. You just have this vibe that we've gotten away with something special here.

 

[No SPIN]

Parker just looks a footballer
Sharp, clean - hoping he becomes a centreline / backman

Has he got pace and can he kick well on both sides?

I can't cope with all this positivity.

Can he play KPF?

 

[Jen2310]

What’s his X factor?

He has pace, and really good user by foot and by hand.

 

[Jen2310]

Can he play KPF?

If you put stilts inside his boots

Pace and balance
Admit I didn’t see him kicking on both sides - Jen may know

I'll have to pay attention to his feet haha.
You walked past me a couple times today

Don't worry, I'm sure someone will be in shortly to bring us back down to earth with a thud.

I am intrigued with Flys comments about our running capacity at training being miles ahead of last year by the GPS numbers the club keeps
From our training watchers. Is it noticeable that we are hitting the track harder in the later part of this years preseason and early rounds compared to last year?
Last year we were lauded for going harder for longer, so in one aspect we should be at another level higher compared to last year. But on the other hand, we may be too fatigued under the high fitness regime, to time a strong finish to the last 2/3rds of the year which all dynasty teams have had. I wonder if the slower start is by design to mimic what the coaching line up have experience at Brisbane, Hawthorne and Richmond. Because on the flip side, no premier who has finished on top the year after has gone on to win the flag in the AFL era

Yes, I think by design.

Ben Spider-Man

I hope so, it would somewhat make up for the loss of this years first rounder in the Schultz trade

 

[sr36]

Can he play KPF?

And chop out in the ruck?

Who's parker

 

[Jen2310]

Who's parker

Wil Parker, the Cat B rookie, ex cricketer we potentially stole.

Oh that's right. Is he eligible to play this year

 

[Jen2310]

Oh that's right. Is he eligible to play this year

Yeah.
I don't believe those rules still exist, that any cat b rookies would need promotion before playing. But this year would be about him getting back up to speed on the game and playing some vfl.

 

[manicpie]

Hope we see him Sunday

body-shape, size, running gait & playing-style / position, reminds me of Ed Richards at the Bullies.

someone call ..?

Doesn't look like he is ready yet. Was still training with the seniors when the VFL boys went inside today.
But hopefully soon.
