Training 2025 Pre Season and Training Reports Thread

From all reports, every time he's at training he's looked very good and engaged.

This issue is that an AFL environment is more than just turning up for training twice a week for a couple of hours.

True, but at least it's progress. Given all the recent hoo-ha and speculation it's way better than the alternative.

It seems like every second year since the flag we have lost an elite player… Jamarra is almost the last straw. He will walk to another club and turn his career around and we’ll get nothing for him like every other time we lose elite talent. So ****ing frustrating

I think if it were to happen I’d really struggle to continue spending money on the sport. Not a knock on the Bulldogs who are playing a rigged game but disillusionment with the afl.

 

[Norm De Guerre]

No criticism of any posters here but just a personal view.

I’m very much looking forward to being able to respond with “and?” to posts of Jamarra at training. I hope the boy gets through his current situation and being at training regularly is the norm.

Yeah, I get that.

But the entire point of my going out of my way and briefly dropping in to training today was to get clarification as to whether or not he was actually at the club at all. Because I'd seen media reporting as recently as last weekend that he was still training away from the club.

Where it goes from here. Nobody outside of the club and JUH management knows.

Im not privy to what he's doing outside of the few minutes that I saw him out on the track. I have no idea if his contact hours at the club are any different to those of any other player. Be it the main group or those preforming various levels of rehab. Like Adam Treloar who looked ready to go, but was not doing any of the drills that I saw the rest of the group undertake. The same goes for the Bont who afaik wasn't on the ground at all.

But being the positive type that I am. Im going to take what I saw with JUH today as a positive step on his reintroduction to football and in time playing for the club.

A lot of players that have had their workloads managed stepped up their time on the field today.
Treloar, Liam, JJ and Croft did a lot more work than previous sessions.

Liam Jones sounds like his about a week away, Treloar maybe two.

They better hurry up or we won't field a side soon

 

[Keystone agony]

Could there be a possibility that the dogs just aint taking Treloar to the hard optus stadium surface round 4

Just after some roles througout training and how it may influence the side

Ie if Freijah to play onball then i suspect Sanders fwd, Davidson wing and Bramble or Williams back

Was Freijah mids or backs predominatly?

Sanders fwd or mids?

Bramble wings/mids or backs?

Davidson fwds or wing/mids?

Would be kindly appreciated thanks

Probably accurate. Bramble and Williams both back. Baker and Davidson on the wings. Sanders was better off half forward than on ball so probably an on ball rotation of Libba, Richards, Kennedy, Freijah, maybe Harmes rolls through.

Bramble and Williams both played wing on the weekend. Would be surprised if both get moved to defence.

Can only see that if they replace Clesry with Baker

And JOD gets green light

Sanders will still get time there, cant see it being 100% HFF

R.West is the ither that will role through after last week, had 3 clearances, 2 of which CC 2nd half from his limited time there

Is the downside to having double digit injury list,

Hopefully the bullants still suck
