Training 2025 Pre-Season - Standards are currently being driven

[LDUKING]

Some pretty worrying results. Where are the midfielders and players aged 22-25 who should be at peak fitness?

Great to see some young kids and senior blokes showing the way, however would ideally like to see those in there prime in great condition after several pre seasons.

You’d hope there’s some good excuses. All those senior blokes must’ve still been playing soccer. Great to see the young blokes doing well, but how do we move forward if the likes of Curtis, Powell, Zurhaar etc… aren’t in top 10.

 

[Devington]

Would prefer to know who beat their PB's rather than the order they finished in tbh.

 

[gustev]

Why won't the club break its silence on the pre-seasons dramatic turn for the worse.

Jy Simpkin, Wil Dawson, Callum Coleman-Jones, Luke Parker and Brayden George did not take part.

That top ten is yuck

 

[gustev]

Did anyone go to soccer training this morning? Keen to know how the boys are doing with the round ball. Did Colby put any good crosses into the box? Any cut backs from Zurhaar? What about Sheez, surely he played some good through balls.

Yes. And from track watchers who is looking most likely to be the leading goalkeeper for the training sessions?

Concerning that there was a bottom 5 at all. Thought the club were working hard on our fitness issues.

That top ten is yuck

It is horrific and that is no knock on the players in the top 10, good on them and from the sessions I’ve watched they have all been out on the track putting the yards in.

For the blokes not in the top 10 who are our midfield/ engine room, only have to attend training to see why they aren’t in there.

Club is coasting at the moment, night and day compared to some other clubs and that is a key reason why we finish bottom 2 year after year.

how does one hold a race where there is no last 5 places?

 

[gustev]

Indeed.

 

[Shinboner1]

Gee Jackson Archer is not leaving any stone unturned to get the best out of himself. Good to see some of the older blokes from 7-10 put in a strong performance. Early days I know but good to see the boys working hard.

He's got a lot bigger too

 

[Its a Process]

That top ten is yuck

I will bite.

How can you say it’s yuck if don’t know the times?

Also, Tucker, Stephens and Sheez all regular top 5 runners.

The melting on this board off limited information is staggering.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

I wouldn’t be overthinking, or overanalysing, a preseason shuttle run.

Not a single key midfielder in the Top 10.

Concerning.

 

[ferball]

I wouldn’t be overthinking, or overanalysing, a preseason shuttle run.

But what else is there right now?

 

[ferball]

Not a single key midfielder in the Top 10.

Concerning.

Harry Sheezel?

Luke McDonald?

 

[Chip Scab1]

Not a single key midfielder in the Top 10.

Concerning.

Hope they got on it last night, for their sake.

 

[Sillygit]

But what else is there right now?

Big bash final is on in a bit

 

[Passmore]

But what else is there right now?

It’s over before it even began. Oh well, bring on 2026.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

But what else is there right now?

Make fun of *. That’s a daily activity.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Harry Sheezel?

Luke McDonald?

Neither are key mids. One is lucky they’re even still considered Best 22.

LDU, Powell, Wardlaw and Philips aren’t fit enough compared to other teams elite mids.

Sheezel could be argued, but he will be thrown around the field.

 

[Sticksphat]

Yes. And from track watchers who is looking most likely to be the leading goalkeeper for the training sessions?

Has to be Logue, surely.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Could be hiding behind a blade of grass

wouldn't be hard to miss though with the sun glistening off his fivehead

The Lmac bit was a joke but Sheeze was one of the best mids in the comp late last season.
