Training Pre Season '24

Never been this disinterested in the upcoming season since the start of 2017. Just not feeling it.
Really? No interest in what the new coach brings to the group? No interest in how the younger players on the list perform? No interest in a new lineup which will inevitably happen?
Geez, we’ve been really spoilt winning those three flags. I can’t wait to see how the next tiger team takes shape. Could be a little bumpy to start with given new coach and game style tweaks but looking forward to seeing what transpires

Some people just want to be bandwagoners for life

They will probably wait until finals and become a Cartoon supporter (if they make finals)
 
It is great to see some of our younger players looking so fit and healthy, hopefully they get a decent crack in the seniors this year instead of living in the shadows of our older players.

Time the club moved on instead of looking at the past.

Yeah that’s why I love watching games live
I find myself quite often not actually watching where the ball is but watching the players off the balls movement and structures

Would be nice with all the modern technology and streaming if you could choose to watch what camera angles you watch a game
How good would having the ability to have behind the goals vision on demand or even just a broader view of the ground with also having to have the broadcast footage in picture or whatever
Back in the early days of fox there used to be different camera angles and you could even choose to have commentary or crown noise.
 
i am not watching a single non tigers game this year..

Can someone please copy and paste?


I don’t have the article but I think the vlossy info is oldish news
Pretty sure concussion was why he was in the rehab group last week and didn’t participate in the match sim
 

AFL news 2024: Richmond training notes, Nick Vlastuin injury, Noah Balta forward switch | Herald Sun​

Richmond defender Nick Vlastuin has become the latest player limited by concussion this pre-season, just weeks after recommendations to limit contact at AFL training.
Vlastuin has been in concussion protocols since copping a head knock on Wednesday and was on light duties at training on Monday.

He ran laps and kicked a ball with others in Richmond’s rehab group, including Tom Lynch(foot) and Dylan Grimes (calf).

Victorian coroner John Cain recommended in December that AFL clubs slash contact training sessions in a bid to protect players from concussions, as part of findings into the death of former Richmond midfielder Shane Tuck.

Cain’s recommendation was for clubs to reduce contact in time for the 2025 pre-season.

A number of players across the league have suffered concussions this pre-season, including Collingwood’s Josh Carmichael and Carlton defender Mitch McGovern.

Western Bulldog draftee Aiden O’Driscoll suffered a head clash on Friday and was concussed.

Lynch and Grimes moved well at Richmond training on Monday, with Dustin Martin (ankle) and Dion Prestia (management) stepping away from the main group as it moves into a full-ground stoppage drill.

Spearhead Lynch took part in some light tackling and kicked the ball to Grimes with ease.

Winger Jack Ross trained fully and looked in good nick after toe surgery limited him to start pre-season, while Josh Gibcus took part in the entire session.

Electric midfielder Shai Bolton came up limping after one contest but saw out the session.

A full-speed collision occurred during the session when Noah Cumberland dived to smother a Huge Ralphsmith kick and fell across Ralphsmith’s body, but the pair gingerly got up and carried on.

BALTA SWITCH

New Tigers coach Adem Yze’s interest in playing Noah Balta in attack appeared real on Monday, with the defender playing as a full-forward during the full-ground drill.

Balta opposed defender Tylar Young, while recruit Jacob Koschitzke played alongside, manned by Gibcus.

Both Gibcus and Koschitzke clunked contested marks during the drill, in which one side attacked out of a centre stoppage.

Balta has largely played his 85 AFL games at full-back but he has been swung forward on occasion, including kicking eight goals in his first three games of 2022.

While Lynch is hopeful of being on track to play in opening round against the Gold Coast, Balta may be Yze’s first back-up choice, given Gibcus has rounded into form as a key defender.

SUMMER SIGNING WATCH

Richmond’s train-on players Mykelti Lefau and Mitch Schofield both played as forwards at the opposite end to Balta, with Lefau taking a mark deep forward and setting up a goal.

The Tigers have one spot to fill before the summer signing deadline on February 19.

During a hot Melbourne morning, Richmond continued to train under a giant camel, placed on top of the team bench at Punt Road.

An Yze brainwave, the camel was installed late last week as a metaphor to inspire the Tigers through tough conditions in summer.
