How’s the Wiz looking? Hopefully super fit can’t see him in any of the pics

Based on what we've seen so far, The Wiz is looking blurry.

Ahead of preseason training commencing tomorrow for the 1st to 4th year players, Talking Hawks discussed some of the burning questions leading into season 2025.

Great listen.

I agree on the burning question of how you squeeze all that backline talent into the back six. Will be interesting watch over summer as to where Sicily, Battle, Hardwick and Weddle play.

Must be moving really quick

[I got the outside word]

I think you'll find he follows me......

No me, I said it first.

I had Weddle to CHF before he was born. Lock forever, forcefield, no take backs.

Hopefully, he sharpens up over the pre-season!

I'm liking the conditioning of a Mitch Lewis who is taking it seriously.

Lewis looks the fittest he's ever looked. ACL may be a blessing in disguise, letting him fully rehab his niggles with no pressure.

Was it "wear your dad's t shirt to work" day?

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Blanck looks like the kind of guy that would come up smiling and give you a big hug and injure you

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Yeh the whole crew is looking FIT and focused.
On the whole they look like they've already done a pre-season

I'm worried about his lack of focus...

Nash is there.

That's Henry Cavill

 

[TylerDurden]

Battle a seriously fit unit. Apparently an obsessive trainer.

He did incredibly well in his running group that he was in

 

[Simon Crawshay]

Long distance running is something that Cody is going to be working on. He was in group C and was feeling it towards the end. His short distance running and power is what will be his assets until he builds his tank.

That's something that has blown me away lately with players like Sheezel and Daicos. Just how incredibly fit they are even prior to starting an AFL pre season.

Most 18 year olds would need to build that kind of fitness base (like Cody needs to) but some of these elite youngsters are already at elite endurance levels at junior levels.

Looks to me to be the perfect blend of strength and endurance for that hybrid KPD role that Sic has done so well at (punching above his weight class).

 

[matey]

Anyone have a close look at Mraz this morning? At 198cm ……. must be so mobile for his size considering he ran 6.32 in 2km time trial, 8.468 seconds in agility test and top 10 in the running vertical jump during the recent combine.

 

[TheFourPillars]

Battle a seriously fit unit. Apparently an obsessive trainer.

There's levels. Hawks team has a few that are in front of him. I think he was top 3 at St kilda. Our list profile for athleticism and endurance is insane as he is no where near our top 3.

 

[Millsie69]

Thanks PH looking a bit more defined around the chest/arms. Can’t tell with his legs …… he wears the longest shorts!

Those are actually Extra-Smalls!

 

[parsons nose]

Pinoy’s first photo I found slightly disconcerting. There can be three possible explanations as to why the coach was leading the pack in the time trial: 1) He’s found a few yards over summer 2) The entire list has been in a lush paddock since the finals exit, or 3) He’s about to be lapped. Please someone confirm the third option to put my mind at ease.

 

[Jason Dunstall]

For what its worth, the team were divided into 2 groups.
CJ and Finn led the 1st group.

Once the 1st group is done with their 6 minute run, the 2nd groups started running and Butsy finished first in the 2nd group.
What an inspirational run.

Did Weddle have flippers on?
