Training Pre-Season 2025 - The boys are back in town.

[DQ 4EVER]

I think this season will live and die by our best 5 talls, Pearce, Darcy, Jackson, JT and Jye. If fit and playing to their ability then they are a formidable group.

I'm pretty sure it reduces muscle mass

Not inherently. Just a result of reduced calorie intake. Shouldn’t be a problem for professional athletes who have access to trainers and dieticians

I think in defence after Moose we have a number of talls that are okay in Cox, Draper, OMac and Chapman. Although Cox had the form in the past he needs to rediscover that to be a really important part of the 23.

Yes but it was the same last season. Problem was with depth.
We didn’t cope with the loss of Darcy and JT. Either through selection or depth quality.

I hope we can correct this in 2025.

Depth-wise we are better with a bit more experience into Voss, Reidy and Draper. And MacDonald is also fit.

No excuses.

Cox if fit will be like a gun new recruit this year. People forget how good he is when fit and firing. Last year was a complete write off. No pre season. Went down with a 3 month hammy in the first game. The guy was on a hiding to nothing when he came back towards the end of the season.

Yeah, people forget how good he is. It should also be factored in that we're likely to be dominating most midfields, and have improved forward pressure (and hopefully scoreboard pressure). If this results in longer/hurried balls being sent in, he'll be able to play his preferred style next to Pearce.

With a dominant midfield, good pressure up the ground he is elite.

Add Pearce taking the main forward, it really works to his strengths.

100% agree with this.

Anyone managed to watch any of Cox at training, does he seem to be moving better?

There are a few on here who have seen more than their fair share of cox from what I can gather, and have been enthused by the movement.
