Training 2025 Pre-Season (no sighting of Joel Crocker …yet)

[The Nostradamus]

Sheez said mid November. Return the week of 11th-15th November for the 1st to 4 years and a week later for the older players.

Cheers
Agree with someone above hope the 5plus years come back a week early to have the whole club start together

Young men go on holidays, old men yell at clouds

Lol this

I don't give a flying heck when pre season starts.
Players should be training now.....

Hitting weights running getting fit.

Not drinking bintangs. FFS.

Until that happens, we will remain a bottom 4 side.

Glad you’re enjoying watching other teams having iconic moments.

Fish seems like a flog so far.

 

[The Nostradamus]

I reckon Ginny was drinking soft drink as a middle digit about the uproar over his 9pm curfew last night

Young men go on holidays, old men go on Viking Cruise ships down the Danube care of discounts via Getaway or 3AW

Efa

**** this shit.

You know what, he is definitely taking over that role a little bit. For someone who wasn’t wanted by his old team, and then produced some of the shittest games to round out his year. He is playing a bit of that sloppy recruit when we were hoping for a senior head.

You mean Devil Fish, Zondor and/or Onip?

I honestly can't believe some of what I'm reading. Young blokes heading away together 6 months before their next game. Big fricken deal.

What a strange thread…

 

[Only Forwards]

What a strange thread…

The reality is that there are going to be people who are pretty pissed off till we win games of footy.

I expect variations of the same critiques on all of the puff pieces that will no doubt get flooded with from November onwards.

Yep; no more food court pics though…

Very true.

Couldn't care less what they do. They get a break and mental reset to go again. They all need a kick up the bum for finishing with 3 wins again and producing another disastrous season but this comes when they return.

We might see a different looking starting 22/23 next year.

 

[Full Chooks]

Sleevo, this you?

Not sure I get the reference bro. How did anything I said have anything to do with him specifically?

The difference this year is that we went into our last off-season following ac win in the final round, loads of optimism and expectations that we'd turned the corner.

This year we ended with two huge, depressing defeats and a choke at home against the 16th placed team before that.

Lots of criticism and still there's unrealistic expectations, along with the thought that "surely, surely things have to improve NEXT year, don't they?"

If it is to be, its up to me. This quote should be plastered all round Arden St

No worries - then go at the end of the season.

It was hubris on behalf of both the players and us supporters to be so upbeat about pre-season this year on the back of one dead rubber game. At least there is nowhere to hide in this coming year.

Lol half the blokes would just shrug and say must’ve been fate.

 

[Gasometer]

I knew this season was going to stink up as soon as the great Plenty Road Sook a la la started up pre season

 

[Gasometer]

Yeh that’s probably more the point isn’t it…holidaying in September

 

[RightWingRoo]

Reckon the lads are better off getting their holidays out of the way now. Hopefully gives a solid, uninterrupted block of 6-8 weeks leading in to the return to training.

I couldn't agree more, but it's not just with the players.
