Training Pre-Season 2023 (First game 18/3 v North)

[larrikin]

Someone at West Coast does not believe in ankle strapping apparently. Heard it on the podcast in the last year or two. Doesn't promote natural ankle strength. Of course they will strap if there has been an injury, though.

Not sure if that person still works there.

That's not a new thing. That debate has been raging for years, and it really actually does have merit, particularly in developing athletes.

 

[LittleFires]

A lot to be excited about with Ginbey and Hewett.

Anyone under notice?

You’d have to ask Stocksy. Hopefully we get a detailed training report from him today written with his typically exuberant flare.

 

[LittleFires]

Anything on Ginbey??

Didn’t see a whole heap of him, though he seemed to always be on the team with our first choice mids. Reckon the club rates him pretty highly.

Yeah every trainer ive had would refuse to strap my ankle unless i was recovering from an ankle injury or tweak.

Were you able to get into the ground to watch or forced to peer through the chain mesh fence?

Any others there besides media

 

[squashface]

We may never lose again

A big bloke pulled up next to me, Im sure it was Suma but probably wasn't.

The club makes it really hard to watch closed sessions. Either you’re peering though a gate and can only see half the field or you’re watching through fence and mesh

I spent about an hour watching from the mesh and the fence on the Perth FC side of the oval, where the mesh was more see through and there were gaps in it.

Towards the end I looked to see if there was a better spot and I wandered into the Perth FC parking lot where a few other people were watching from. Great view of the ground there but not sure if it’s allowed - gate was wide open though and nobody told me I couldn’t be there so

There were a few media guys just inside the gate, no cameras though. A couple of fans were peering through the closed gate when I looked.

If Hewett can move on from being a massive phoney he will be quite the pick up IMO.

Interesting that Benny C gets to watch on though.

Yeah once the development and fencing was completed it’s difficult to watch if they don’t have the eastern gates open

Hoped that maybe they’d changed but obviously not

 

[eagleskickass]

At least we got a win!

Not a fan?

 

[JackOutback]

Can you just not watch from the community oval?

 

[Bender_]

Not a fan?

Nah no problem at all, mainly Dark Sharks getting all worked up about how he knew he was getting drafted by Simmo yet still got excited on the coverage and calling him a phoney. I'm actually super bullish about him and think he's a steal with Ginbey.

Training report: Eagles take next step in prep

West Coast edged closer to competitive games with another match simulation hit-out on Friday

www.westcoasteagles.com.au

Here it is

Alex Witherden under notice!!!!

 

[FKASC]

How much longer can the biomechanical merits of ankle strapping be debated?

 

[Bender_]

So I take it Stocksy uses 'under notice' as a description of being closely monitored, not as using the incorrect phrase for being 'on notice' when you're told you need to lift your game.

I have heard from a couple of reputable sources that ankle strapping puts more stress through the knee and can increase the likelihood of serious knee injuries...

It’s up there with laconic as far as nonensical footyisms go. Except at least laconic is a word - under notice means absolutely nothing.

This is the geezer running our communications portfolio

 

[WA footy mad]

OMG the friday hitout was very poor i take back they need 10% more fitness it would say more likely 40%
