Training 2025 Off-Season & Preseason reports and discussion

[mustang]

Are we training our young talls any different in the last years with McCabe and now Dear having back related stress fractures?

Or is it we have just overloaded them too much, in their workload.

 

[eldorado]

Dear does NOT have a stress fracture.

Probably pre existing hawk training with McCabe too

Dear does NOT have a stress fracture.

What do you call it then, a bone stress reaction in his lower back?

That's what the club called it, and what the medical industry calls it too.

Why call it a stress fracture, when a bone stress reaction and bone fracture are NOT the same thing?

 

[Yardie]

For a “depth” player - he’s pretty non-depthy. Reliable players like him can bring flags.

heck I’m getting pumped up for 25. I need to calm down

It's the bottom six that make or break your premiership run. We have a pretty good bottom six.

 

[Hodgey 15]

When should we expect the boys to be running out on to Waverly for first time in 2025?

Because we need to have our Douglas Adams inspired crisis inducer!

 

[peetoo]

It could be argued that the fitness regime is elite if it’s finding these issues early

Quick! Run! There's no time!

 

[moginie]

Quick! Run! There's no time!

They're after us!

Mackenzie looking lanky and strong through the core. A little like Day.

Mackenzie looking lanky and strong through the core. A little like Day.

He looks fit with a bigger tank will hopefully get to more contests and have more impact especially when he gets his hands on it. The way he runs out with his arms up protecting the pill (so Mitch like it ain’t funny) while looking for the best option and then with that beautiful kick!

At training noticed that he also doesn’t mind body contact …… was a bit hesitant when coming in but now seems AFL conditioned. He could really come on for us this year with his class

Ginni is looking in absolute peak condition.

I'm predicting a very big year for Jack, combine his natural talent with that new body and the sky is the limit.

Different body to when he was at the Pies but that’s the thing he came to us as a 21 yo …… just turned 22 the other week was nice watching them singing happy birthday after training.

Seems like he’s been around for ages but still a young man finding his feet.
