Pre-season training

[Surkin]

Anyone started yet?

Just went for a twenty minute jog and then followed it up with 8 400's with a thirty second rest between each. Stuffed.

 

[bigpapagman]

Looking at starting to do something soon, Might try and take it a bit more seriously this year.

 

[Surkin]

Good to hear. Would be great to see you return to the glory days of U/15's at Warragul when you used to take Hansen apart.

 

[WhenIwasyoung]

Tell us about the Hansen story again Bigpapa!!

 

[bigpapagman]

Kicked 4 on him, we won the Grand Final, Kael Bergels got BOG ahead of me for some reason, still dirty. And it was U/16's.

Pre season..... Is this a joke? Its still september.

 

[Surkin]

Not a joke. Started my pre-season on Saturday night down an alley near q-bar with some slapper with way too much fake tan. She looked like a nectarine but she had a good rack on her.

Doing the Melbourne half marathon in a couple of weeks so have been training for that. Footy trip this weekend will be ideal preparation

That is a form of anaerobic exercise not aerobic exercise!!!:

Usually it is in my case but I had a fair bit to drink.

Your so awesome, what have you done lately??

 

[bigpapagman]

Fuck all. That's why it's funny when I tell the story. I have been absolute rubbish from 2007 onwards.

 

[Surkin]

FACT: Bigpapagman and myself made our senior debuts in the same match in Round 1, 2006. From memory he kicked a couple of goals from full-forward in a low scoring affair. I played CHF and had a few ineffective disposals.

How many senior games have you played all up papa? Did you reach the 50 game mark?

 

[bigpapagman]

33 seniors; 18 at Buln, 14 at the Dusties, 1 at Darnum.

26 reserves; 26 at Darnum.



FACT: Really should never have gone to the Dusties.

 

[saint leo]

to much $$$$$$ at dusties wasnt it.

 

[bigpapagman]

Definitely not the case at all. Was offered more elsewhere, but was living in Warragul & didn't have a licence, so.......

It was just a really bad error of judgement. Socially though, great club, just wasn't what I was looking for on-field, at the time.

 

[Surkin]

Worst username of the century.

 

[saint leo]

A bit bored were you Bigpapa, just thought another identity would add a bit of excitment to your day?

 

[bigpapagman]

Truth be known, it actually isn't me. I knew the question would be asked, though.

 

[Surkin]

Any word on when clubs are going back?

The Dees started their pre-season today, the earliest an AFL club has ever gone back.

How did you go axe man?

 

[bigpapagman]

The Demons went back to training on October 9th in 1997.

I know, because I asked Brett Lovett.

 

[Axe Man]

How did you go axe man?

Yeah not bad, was aiming for a 1:30 and missed it by 30 odd seconds so happy with that. Went 4 minutes quicker than last year, just couldn't hold my pace over the last few kms.

That is quite impressive. Might have to give it a go next year. I reckon I would be somewhere in the same ballpark if I stopped drinking for a few weeks before hand.

 

[Axe Man]

Ya don't have to stop drinking, just get a few miles in the legs. Personally I don't do heaps of kms, but I'm probably lucky that way. I only really went for a couple of runs a week for the month before hand, but obviously still had a reasonable level of fitness from footy season. I also hate long training runs so never do anything much over 10kms usually.

You might be better off doing something like run for the kids first before a half just to get used to it - at 14 or 15kms I find it a hell of a lot easier.
