Training 2025 Pre-Season - Standards are currently being driven

[Bowski]

this thread has officially reached Waiting for Godot-levels of the absurd

Speaking of, where the hell is that lazy prick? Contract year and I have not seen him at training once.

I love LDU.. I also understand the market value and rise in the TPP.. however, he rarely hits the goal and inside 50 targets as an attacking mid and that is incredibly frustrating when he will no doubt become the highest paid player in the comp

Literally the only thing in my post that was semi serious. It's actually real, glad you too have spotted it. I love LDU, think he can be the best in the AFL, just think he needs to be a bit fitter so when those opportunities arise he ain't dead-exhausted which increases the likelihood of an error.

Big X get a placing in the Shittle?

Should never have got rid of Goldy

Big X is 200cm tall. As tough as Nails and made the AA Squad from Pick 72, a North-supporter (one of us). Gun.

'Simmo' in a tuxedo and bow tie (I'd happily claim it but it's the Old Man's lol), all jokes aside, should really be doing a bit better (if he even ran).

Anyone down at training today?

Yeah. Thought I'd pop in to complain about nobody else being here.

How about we wait till we lose an actual game of footy before we have a Meltdown.

Richmond players had a punch-on at training, perhaps posters would be happier with that?

Hopefully they've got the soccer balls out again.

You can't just rock up and produce a quality meltdown after a game if you don't work on it over the preseason.

How can I say I told you so if I never told you so?

Wrong account nostrils…

There is only 1

Anyone know why Simpkin and Parker didn't do the run? That strikes me as concerning, they're arguably the two most important players for us to have on the track.

I was there symkin went off for a shit....parker went off and had a coffee and a smoke with whitey...while zuhaar fired up the barbecue and put the beers on ice... Well done to river nice confidence booster..and that's it.

All jesting aside I do find it interesting that in the top 10 , 2 were first year recruits 5 were players traded in from other clubs as mature age players over the last 3 seasons. I think it’s a good indication of previous season standards. I also have no doubt the mids were not taking it seriously. Shuttle runs are easy to do when no one is tackling or grappling you.

Does match sim count? I mean half the team do actually lose....

It’s as plain as the nose on Bill Lawry’s face that the physical standards have been far below the required level.

Thankfully that seems to have changed.

 

[Footywizard]

Shuttle runs post match sim aren’t gonna be taken that serious ffs, you just wanna get through them next to someone in your bracket. Not trying to set records. The melts are nuts haha

Archer and Curtis almost had a punch on yesterday

Another example of North's preseason training being sub-standard, premiership clubs like Richmond actually have fisticuffs whereas we ‘almost’ have a punch on. Not good enough.

An Archer v Curtis punch on would be interesting.

Archer and PC are good mates so I’m sure it was more of a friendly boys will be boys type of thing
