Training 2025 Pre-Season - Standards are currently being driven

[choppy]

Love Wardlaw, don't get me wrong. Sky is the limit with him. But agree that he needs to work a bit on his disposal.

nah George is the ducks n̈uts,

His disposal is fine

 

[Rod Stroker]

I’d put him in the Goad category..

Goad looks ahead of him physically, which is to be expected given he's had more time in the system.

Do they have footwear?

Random question without notice.... Do we think the AFL may have seen better results if they'd put Southport Sharks in, instead of creating the Sun's?

Sent from my SM-G781B using BigFooty.com mobile app

It’s always puzzled me why the AFL dropped the ball there, such an obvious thing to do. Can only be arrogance that they’ll regret

North Melbourne wishes to advise that all players and staff are on leave until Monday, January 13, 2025.

3 week break

Southport wouldn’t become an AFL owned cuck.

Shark would've been an amazing club identity too.

Sometimes you need that quirk to create an impression.

Like the GWS song genuinely endearing them to people.

Instead the marketing team created the blandest mascot, apparel and identity possible.

I hope that they haven't forced all the office staff to take that leave out of their entitlements.

I know they have a rough job in season but it's a fair gig with the amount of time they get off hey

For the players I mean.

Slippers from the hotel.

yep surely they only do 2 for them forced

3 weeks forced leave would be wild

and for the players 3 weeks is very generous

yeah 2 months post the season and 3 weeks over xmas, not a bad deal to have nearly 3 months off a year

Forgot to mention , when I spoke to comben the other day he told me that he had cancelled travel plans over summer break to focus on his rehab.

He's a smart lad and will have some sad life perspective at his early age.

Probably recognises the opportunity he has both for self accomplishment and to set himself up ahead of schedule doing something he'd largely have done for nothing anyway.

Was that after he went to the North Pole?

[Pres]

Absolutely yes.....a real club with a history and culture to go with it. Founded in 1961 and have over 50k members! Fathom that. The Suns are manufactured and more or less Brisbane Bears mark 2, with only the merging with Fitzroy and moving them to Brisbane that made a difference.

To be fair these are people who pay $5 a year for F&B discounts at the pokies

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Geez, are people really begrudging how much time staff are given to spend time with their family at christmas?

Players not staff

2 weeks is normal and would suffice
3 seems generous when they already had 2 months off

If you were a Christmas gift Nostra you'd be a bag of spuds

It's not like they're sitting back drinking cans for 3 weeks
They would all have programs to follow

I'm sure they've all been given their training routines/ guidelines over that 3 week period or so anyway.

Yep, it's the equivalent of the Tassie $10 membership

 

[The Nostradamus]

Of course just the same they do over their 2 month break also

To keep running every day, gym etc

still pretty generous
