2025 Pre-Season chat

[cats_09]

Well yeah, we know it's meant to be vacation time and we've likely all seen various holiday snaps from the players

But for some dedicated players, they're already back at it in preparation for 2025

For those looking to share photos, discussion of what's happening or whatever pre-season related - have at it here

The WA state government about to put out a press release blaming Scratcher for the housing crisis having burnt down several housing developments in the Greater Perth Area.

Anyone know the weights by colour there?

Looks like the green says 10kg - so this could match what Scratcher is using and we can then calculate how much is on the bar




I'm going 70kg each side for a total of 140kg if my calculation is correct

That looks like the one! Thanks

Add 20kgs for the bar from memory for a 160kg rep.

Will that mean he won't drop easy marks?

Well, having burnt down several residential buildings the preceding summer I can certainly see him burning a few opportunities in the air

Would love to see his form doing that squat because for most tall people, squats with the right technique, is a tough proposition.

Really no need to go so heavy. End up ruining his knees in the long run.

It has disappeared from his insta but the personal trainer he is with works with a ton of afl players. Scratcher works with him every summer. Remember when he went back to Perth for a few months mid-season in his first year? Spent the whole time with this guy basically. Not his first rodeo

So the drop sitters will continue then.

I love love love Neale's dedication to improve upon himself each summer.

He could explode in any moment next year. He is at least doing the work to make it happen.

Absolutely agree. I think he has the talent. He clearly has the dedication. And his demeanour suggests that he is a team-first operator in everything as well.

Still have high hopes for him to really emerge in the next couple of years.
