Training Pre-Season 2024

[Jeffcrowe]

A powerade wouldve been a good idea… but.. a “Convenience store Yiros”…

Something as fxxkn dodgy as that that could land a man in bed for a week with gastro..

A microwaveable ‘hot chicken hero’ would have been interesting but I don’t think they exist anymore haha

 

[Bearded Clam]

Looks like Neddy needs to give up fulltime footy and take up fulltime fishing..

He’s clearly a lot better at fishing than he is playing footy at this point.

He should get onto Dangerfield and team up for their own fishing adventures show..

 

[skittlebrew]

Neddy obviously been putting in the work in weights room.

Needs to put time in the shrinks office not the weight room.

His issue is between his ears.

Cool, athlete in shape posts shirtless pic showing he's in shape

Hopefully he's been putting in the work in the "not being very good at football" room

If you haven't spent 12 hours violently throwing up after a servo hot chicken hero you haven't lived!

It’s pretty well known that Peds likes a drink

Has that country larrikin , on the edge have fun thing that Tex had as a young fella

I guess it’s a fine line between harmless and unprofessional but they gotta have lives and a happy player is a better player

Yeah, TBH these types of stories about young lads getting on it at this time of the year doesn't concern me all that much.

I want the players at my club to also have personalities and lives. And walking down Hindley St with a bit of a wonky sway in the step is a right of passage for young Adelaidians.

 

[StonesThrow]

Fanboi?

Neddy is a good ol fashioned country lad not one of them soft inner city elite private school boys. His old man played for Wangaratta and kicked 150 goals one season. Great bloke old fashioned and loved a bit of biff. Could have a beer with him.

 

[cmndstab]

Having crossed paths with a young gun staggering along Rundle st at midnight it got me thinking, what’s expected as professional standards?

Fair game blow off steam get pissed on a sat night in PS, or on the middle of what burgess said is the hardest 2 weeks of training they will do to set themselves up for the year that that’s a sign of unprofessionalism and a small flag?

It's not ideal, to be honest. I'm not so much concerned about the alcohol in his blood system, as an AFL player staggering through the city at midnight. There's a lot of shit that can happen there, especially if you're a public figure. People will look to make a name for themselves at your expense.

If Peds wants to have a few drinks to blow off steam during preseason, perhaps try to do it at a mate's house or something?

Why didn't he pass on his goal kicking skills to Ned...

Remember when the “gravy” in them used to turn into this funny light brown jelly type substance…

it looked a bit like the crap your dog does when the poor bugger has a bad case of the runs..

This is ridiculous.

Should be alright as long as he doesnt go out to Alberton and try it

That's nice but I'd rather a private school toff that plays football well than a country bloke that's shit.

 

[Drewie11]

Fair call from an arm chair expert, probably 120 kegs

It's a fair call in general. On the odd occasion Ned is selected, he's frequently used as a sub. The experts don't rate him either.

This is spot on. Nothing wrong with it and 99% of the time it's fine.

It's not just AFL footballers who have to make choices about what they do in their spare time. Plenty other professions require choices for a whole lot of reasons.

If thats his starting rd 1 team then for me Hinge and Jones swap, Worrell for Smith, Burgess and Sloane for ...........Probably Smith and hopefully Ryan/Nank

 

[crows dude]

Hang on.

So coaches can decide up until 1 hour before the game whether or not to have play 22 and a Sub or 23 with 5 interchange. Is that how i read that. If thats the case why bother. Coaches are just going to go the 23 players with 5 man bench every week.

 

[crows dude]

Naming of the Sub

The sub will continue in 2024, and in an amendment to the announcement of teams, Clubs will now name an extended interchange bench of five players and three emergency players.

The sub will be confirmed 60 minutes prior to the match.

So its the same as 2023. 4 and a Sub. What is the amendment. Teams in 2023 already announced 5 players on the bench and 1 hr before the game announce the sub

They used to name 24 + 3 emergencies, and the sub came from the emergencies.
Now they're naming 25 + 3, and the sub comes from the 25.

 

[Dangarman]

Now they're naming 25 + 3, and the sub comes from the 25.

Don't you mean they used to name 18 on field, 4 on bench and 4 emergencies, and now it is 18 + 5 + 3, with the sub coming from the 23, (presumably, but not necessarily from the 5?)

 

[crows dude]

They used to name 24 + 3 emergencies, and the sub came from the emergencies.
Now they're naming 25 + 3, and the sub comes from the 25.

No they didnt. They always name a squad 26. 4 emergencies and the sub came from the emergencies.

Now it looks like they name 3 emergencies but the sub comes from the 23

That is how i understand it.
