Training 2025 Pre-Season Training - reports, pics etc

[Crippa#9]

Anyone know when training will be open to public ?

Not sure officially but I would pencil in Sat, Dec 14th as the annual final open-training session of the year. (last year it was Sat, Dec 16th)

Reminds me of a young Hewett, without the versatility, same ish speed, solid hands, good decision maker, both very similar traits

Interesting people talk about the lack of metres gained in Hewett's game (vision is a better indicator), Lord's numbers are much lower per possession, but it's a small sample size

Great pick up for a mid season draft

Metres gained is just a bad stat imo especially for inside mids. I can go out there and hack the ball 50m forward every time at the contest and be the best metres gained player ever. The very best however remain composed and dish it out to the advantage of a distributor - low metres gained directly but a far better result for the team.

I completely agree, but the stat (usless without vision) was being used as to why Lord should be playing in front of Hewett

Essentially they are the exact same type

Agree theyre very similar. Lord maybe a more penetrating kick. Hewett has alot more runs on the board obviously.

I dont think you could use any stats to justify Lord over Hewett. If Lord gets Hewetts spot it will be based on what he shows over preseason, not those games at the end of last year.

I'd love Lord to take the spot, but if you were picking today one or the other it'd have to be Hewett. Time will tell.

Didn't mean for my post to seem like an attack on you. Looks a bit harsher reading back. I just get frustrated when every player is judged on how "strong" they look. We need our small forwards to be faster and more agile. Besides the point, we've been the best contested side for the past three seasons and it hasn't brought us a premiership. It's time that we take a different view on things.

Most Richmond sessions are closed.

No apology necessary.
I didn't take it as an attack on me.
Took it for what it was, which is a passionate Carlton supporter, defending one of their own. No issues here

On reflection, I may have been a bit harsh on young Mots anyway.
I don't know what instructions Mots was given by the club, over the off season, in regards to his body.
He may have come back exactly how they want him and in exactly the right shape, for all I know.
Maybe I should have a think about it more before posting

Just needs a pre season and IMO could easily play early. Very calm and mature and will handle step up

The way he played later in the year on the back of little training was impressive

The photo I saw of Moir he looks strong through the legs.

Yeah, he's my tip for a break out year. Just hope he gets more games. Liked what I saw late last year.

Ollie Elijah Motlop Durdin Cowan Binns Moir Wilson Lord important impact/developing core group for us this season…

Last year Motlop looked like an absolute meatball and had the acceleration of a lawnmower so I'm glad to see him slimming down.

Pretty sure...

Billy Wilson is my big watch this pre season.

Matt Carroll’s injury evidently made it difficult for him to do any upper body weights too.

Cooper Lord did all the weights.

Would we happen to have an open training session Saturday ?

 

[Number 10 is cursed]

Will White from Carlton VFL invited to train for SSP role too. Small forward. Finished 3rd in best and fairest.

Happy about this. Did a lot of good things in the 2s last season.

Day one: Driving in with Ollie Hollands and Harry Lemmey

Carlton Media travelled along with youngsters Ollie Hollands and Harry Lemmey as the Blues' first-to-four-year players returned for pre-season.

Looks like Lemmey is filling out nicely. With a bit of luck he might get a couple of games this year when we rest Harry.

He's a beast....it's hard to believe he's just over a year older that Jagga....

View attachment 2175355

He's gonna make some small/medium forwards cry this year. Also, we need to have Jagga put on the same training routine and the same diet as Moo.

I'm sure there's more worthwhile footage...but that clip is literally just Jagga catching the footy.

I wish I had have read your post first. I watched the clip several times just to make sure I wasn’t missing something

We win together, we lose together.

I also watched it multiple times. We're in this as one.
