This is good stuff Danster. Much better than some of the Demonland people (you may post training reports there too, but if so I haven’t seen them. Yours are more detailed and less inclined to imply a breakout year for every person on the list)
Thanks mate. nah, I'm not on demonland. But I do check it from time to time.
 
Trac is in another level with his training and preparation. Only a small percentage of players fall into that category. Clarry was pretty full on with his training a few years back. Not sure he’ll get back there.
There was a time when Tracca just had the beach body.
Until the year where he fell unconscious under water, doing the breathing techniques. He was at that stage trying harder to achieve his ultimate fitness levels.

This was the start of Traccas truly Pro attitudes to fitness, and his professionalism. He has gone ahead in leaps and bounds since that time.


Oli, well he went backwards after his new 7Yr contract.

yeah, Trac will always be an elite power athlete but his fitness in terms of endurance and distance running I'd say is actually relatively poor. Not that it really shows in the games due to the massive midfield rotations etc.

So we try to drown him? Interesting ideas here.
 
I'm liking this supposed emphasis on quick ball moment from the backline.
Don't fall for it, we are probably practicing a way to get 2 goals ahead at the start so we can be even better at shutting the game down

"Fell unconcious trying breathing techniques underwater" is probably the the best way I've seen a description of someone nearly drowning.

Proof will be if and when the heat is put on Goody and the boys whether the "fast and exciting" ball movement sticks, or if they go back into their shells like they wont to do. Right now it matters very little.

His 2nd and 3rd efforts improved markedly after he applied himself to all training regimes in an all\ effort to improve.
Thats where it all starts and ends.
 
Not hard to be better than that.

He cost us 3 wasted seasons, and near the end of Maxy's Mays and Viney's careers. Incredible wasted opportunities.
He was our best player in 2022 and kicked the match winner against Blues in 23 except Max spoiled it.

Clarry is personally responsible for 3 wasted seasons lol. Oh dear
23 seemed more management or whenever it was he had the hamstring that took way to long and then was rushed into finals

He is however responsible for last season

Responsible for our poor year? That's ridiculous. How about Goodys gameplan? Trac getting injured? Petty not getting a touch? The decline of May and Lever? Sparrow and Salem continuing to spud it up? List management not able to bring in any talent whatsoever? Smith and Hunter going off the rails and bringing Clarry with them? Fritta having a dirty year. Our inability to score? But yeah, let's pin last year all on one player lol

Let me clarify and rectify my comment as it got mixed up the narrative with whoever before said it was ALL him that's cost us. I misread, it's a simple mistake

I was actually just saying he's injury was seemingly poorly managed at the back end of the other season. "He is however still entirely responsible FOR HIMSELF Last season"

I am not pinning OUR failures entirely on him, but HIS own failures for 2024 are his. That is still a bad cog, but one cog of many
 
Do you really think it was all injuries (hamsting and finger), the year his drugs issues finally became a known. Or was it possibly a quiet afl suspension.?
idk, i tend not to speculate.

All i know injury or otherwise he was rushed into a final seemingly under done after a stint of missing games, Same with an injured trac

2022 i don't recall anything bad really, just kinda stagnated and hit bad form like everyone else in the back half of that year

I will point out him being underdone this year and that is his fault

So before anyone else or otherwise jump down my throat and presumes what i'm saying. I don't know enough of anything else other than this his own form this year is on him. I am not talking the entirety of the team
