Training 2025 Pre-Season /// THEY’RE BACK! /// QLD “relationship building & hard work” camp is early December

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.

Had a concussion recently as well...

West Coast prodigy Harley Reid is in concussion protocols after suffering a head knock at pre-season training.

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
