Training 2025 Pre-Season - Standards are currently being driven

[ExorcismOfArdenStreet]

Random sight: A door dash driver rocked up with a Coles order and fisher was walking off the track and the driver asked where so and so was and fish was like come with me,ill take you to them. Gave me a little chuckle, was very polite though.

I love the time of year where we make detailed assessments on players based on still images taken at various times.

A photo of a player mid kick/handball where the muscles are active and flexing = woah they are ripped/best shape of their life/training the house down etc.

A photo of a player standing still at a slightly unflattering angle = unfit/fat/lazy etc.

I agree with the stills comment. But track watchers on the Eagles board have said he's come back overweight, so I don't think he's been overly stitched up in this case. Plenty of time to work it off before next season.

Yeah maybe, but it was more a comment on the general overanalysis that goes on and the assumptions people make based off of individual images rather than in response to this particular pic of Reid.

Reid has come back overweight but I'm not a fan of mocking him. He might have had a hard time. And if he shows up in shape in round 1 then who cares.

And how's the Freo player fracturing his back in a fall at home. I thought it was only us cursed with those sorts of pre season injuries... could be out for the year. Needed spinal surgery.

I suppose the concern is if you come back out of shape you're months behind from a fitness standpoint. Even if you burn it off in a month you're behind where you could have been.

It's fair to criticise professional athletes turning up out of shape, but I agree, mocking is a bridge too far

is back after playing in a granny and being 75 years old and Zurhaar isn’t

 

[r00boy96]

Will the boys be out on the track today? On their website it says Thursday next session but do they come out more often that advertised?

Zurhaar might find himself in the scooby doos here n there. Its almost like he could be part of the culture problem.

Hadn’t heard of Odin Jones…….wish him all the best. Back surgery no good, takes a long time to heal. Cool name he’s got though.

Jon Hay protogee.

Not good, I hope he’s OK

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

Can’t believe I’m going to ****ing say it.
But those training singlets are growing on me.

Zuurhar is kidding himself if he isn’t at training early

Death. Taxes. Corr being injured over the preseason.

Am I meant to be

A. Outraged Reid is possibly overweight?

Pearl Jam last night was indeed a ****ing show!!!!! With probably the one of the best setlists of the whole world tour. It shat on Saturday nights. They never disappoint live.

Nothing worse than being in the Pit and a group of 6ft 5 plus galoomps blocking everyone’s view.

Bit unflattering photo though… others taken that day don’t really show any difference

In others defence though, those above are the day before I turned 30 and that other photo is the day after, so instant weight gain is not unknown to me

I am outraged because he has a Hungry Jacks franchise!!

 

[speedy]

So W.Dawson injured his shoulder last year. Club opts to let it heal on its own. Then he re-injures it on the first day of pre-season and now the club opts for surgery?

I’ve heard this story before.
