You know those reports are OTT when he says the ground is pristine, but a good read nonetheless. Liking the sound of McLarty. Hope he can become a regular feature.

For those who want to have a look.

Loved the report on both Quaynor and Kelly who were both at training today. Both gave a good display by all accounts. Something to look forward too.

I'm loving if we are bringing in the "future picks" in early for a great run around, and look around.

I really like that.

Makes a nice spirit for them as they await their draft year.

McLarty is going to be a gun.

Wells looks to be in very poor shape again.

Fat! They were telling us how good he was looking after an early return. More fake news from our club.

So everyone's getting into a lather about a photo of Wells allegedly looking fat.Typical Bigfooty overkill.

It's so comical.

To think if Wells had an issue on his return the sewer media rats would be all over it, like rats with bubonic plague.

Aren’t all the Level 2 Academy boys training with clubs. May have been a third there today.

No it’s Quaynor comparing it to the tweet that Oakleigh Chargers put out recently re: best first year player. Check out those guns; wow!

It's ok, I'm sure he missed class as he would've had a note from his mother.

They certainly would have defaulted to that story over the De Goey ‘incident’ that’s for sure.

Even the De Goey incident came and went like the nothing that it was

Que? He’s as big as a house by the standards of professional athletes. Let’s not sugar coat it after 15 years in the system and the year he had he’s in poor shape in the lead up to Christmas.

If he were still at North and we saw that photo we’d have a good old laugh about it, but because he’s one of our own it’s overkill? Take a look at the 17 yo amateur athlete in that photo absolutely putting him to shame! Overkill indeed

 

[FIGJAM]

Kind of 180 degrees from what Warburton Lad has been writing - says he's at least a month or so ahead of what he was last year at this time and looking very sharp on the track.

Makes me want to go down and see with my own eyes one sunny morning if I can skip work!

Bigfooty puts more time into analysing one training photo than the world put into analysing the Zapruder Film!

Collingwood’s Jack Crisp says Pies benefiting from off-season changes as they look to surge in 2018

Crisp, who is likely to join teammate Darcy Moore in a more-permament shift to defence in 2018, said a new approach to training, along with Nathan Buckley’s “wonderful” approach to the summer has him confident the Pies are on the right track.

• 
  Collingwood finished 13th in 2017, winning nine matches but showing on several occasions their best was enough to test the competition’s elite sides.
  
  Asked if the Pies under-performed or simply weren’t good enough, Crisp thought it was “a mixture of both”.
  
  “We’ve shown that our best is really great and we can match the best teams, even beat them, and then when we’re not playing well we obviously play really bad and get beaten by teams that we should be beating,” he told RSN radio.
  
  “That probably takes its toll a fair bit. A few people are starting to get frustrated now, it’s been four years out of finals.
  
  “It’s been enough, we need to get back to it.”

  Buckley felt the heat throughout the season as his side tried to right its win-loss record and push for September, but the coach was given a contract extension.
  
  The post-season review has brought on changes not only in personnel at the club, but also in the Pies’ approach for their 2018 preparations.
  
  “It’s a fair bit different because the whole footy program has changed
  
  “We’re kind of going down a different pathway in how we’re attacking training and how specific we’re being with every part of training - whether it be meetings, gym, trying to get our surge and sprint running up to (being) more match-fit than running fit ... it’s definitely a big change but I think everyone’s really enjoying the new program.”
  
  Crisp has noticed a more relaxed Buckley, but says his faith in the coach has never wavered.
  
  “He’s still his confident self and really influential for everyone,” Crisp said.
  
  “I still find him very fascinating and everything he says is just very intriguing.

• “He just seems so much more relaxed, and the way he’s approaching training with all the coaches, I think everyone else starting to take another step forward and become more involved themselves, so it’s not just Nathan running the show the whole time.”Crisp, who has played every game at Collingwood since being traded from Brisbane, said he was likely to play a more defensive role in 2018 after spending large chunks in the midfield through his first three seasons at the Pies.
  
  And he’s looking forward to seeing what Moore, a focal point of the Collingwood forward line, can do at the other end of the ground. “He’s going really well,” he said.
  “I remember when he first got drafted he trained in the backline for a while. He’s such a good athlete, such a powerful athlete. He’ll be a good asset down back.”

Jesus Christ... Are people seriously basing the fact that Wells looks fat from that one picture? Grandma arms? FMD... Look at the positioning of the arms and realise why they look the way they are, Wells has his arm completely straight and pressed against his body therefore his tricep is more predominant. I was going to explain the rest of the people in the photo but anyone who has ever done/studied any ounce of weight training would understand why each persons arms look the way they do based upon the angle the arm is at. This reminds me of the “Swanny is fat” saga from ages ago.

This is all based on one photograph.Has anyone seen him up close in person to verify how he looks?And it is three and a half months till the start of the season,so yes,it is typical bigfooty overkill.

The other players in the photo looked pretty fit, can't really blame it on an angle when 5 blokes are in a photo.

McLarty is going to be a gun.

Sounds painful.

There's definitely a different narrative this preseason, something more than 'the boys are super keen to get back to finals' or 'everyone is bigger and fitter than ever'. A number of players have said that the mechanics of training have changed, and that the change-up has given them a psychological boost. This is an acknowledgment that things had become stale and it gives a hope that the list will find an extra 2-3 percent improvement --mentally and physically-- to push for finals next season.
