I’m thinking of shifting my affection to Sier. He’s impossible to resist.
He certainly is an impressive unit, but lacks the charisma of my boy Kayle.

This was interesting from the new strength and conditioning manager on the club website.

“The plan for this week is to get the boys kicked in,” the club’s new Strength and Conditioning manager Kevin White told Collingwood Media.

“All of the players had conditioning programs in the off-season, but probably haven’t had a high level of kicking. That’s why you see the footy’s out on day one.”

White is no stranger to a pre-season at the Holden Centre. After having worked as a sports scientist at the club under previous High Performance managers David Buttifant and Bill Davoren, he now takes control of the Magpies’ pre-season training program himself.

Building high foundations of strength and fitness will still be important as the days and weeks tick down towards 2018. However naturally, footballers are going to want the Sherrins in their hands, and Collingwood’s players will enjoy this luxury from day one.

“The new direction I’d like to see us go will be to move into the footy stuff as soon as possible,” White explained.

“I’ve worked closely with the coaches skill acquisition coach Jamie Cassidy-McNamara to design drills which are football-related, but won’t see too high intensity or a high change in direction early in the pre-season. We’ll gradually build up.”

Maynard’s a massive bloke, combined with degoey and seir if he comes good would be a crazy bullish combination in the Centre
And just to be even more on the theme throw in Rupert Wills as well.

Maynard Sier De Goey Wills

Four tanks right there :)
 
Anyone know why Daria Gavrilova was running laps there today?
Getting fit?
Might know some of them etc so invited to run that time
 
initial thoughts...

Darcy has hit the squats and bench press. Looks to have filled out quite a bit.

Crocker also bigger, as are Daicos' legs.

Sier looking good, whilst kayle looks on par with early last season..

maynard looks leaner for me... obv trying to get into that midfield rotation

Really? I thought he's looking at least as good if not better than he did late this season. I was thinking the kid has done the hard yards during the off season and good on him.
 
Between Wills, Sier and Maynard we have some big boys on the periphery of that midfield. If just one of those guys come along we'll have some real physical presence at the contest to add to an already impressive midfield group.

Too right quicky
My info is rupert experienced another growth spurt
Hence my thoughts of a defensive forward role
Sier and Maynard degoey in the guts
Adams lock down back pocket
No brainer
