I’ve been to training a couple of times, Houston has surprised me with how poorly he does in the running.
One of the least fit at the club atm, work ethic is great though so I’m sure he will build his fitness through pre season.

Lipinski is the leading candidate to start on a wing in 2025.

Houston has a dad bod, Membrey never skips the leg day while Perryman and I don't blame him has absolutely no issue being given the most ridiculous contract since Grundy.

You know there is no prize for worst post of year?
In the VFL?
Start with our 2024 final round line-up, then subtract Noble and Richards and add DeGoey, Mitchell, Checkers, McStay, Houston, Perryman and perhaps Membrey. Four or five of this year’s final round team will be pushed out. Lipinski would be near the top of that list.

He's generally averaged 80+ per cent time on ground over his career so I don't think it's an issue.

I’m not offering opinion, just from some internal scuttlebutt.
Club sees lippa as 1 of the starting wings in 2025

Again, not saying it’s an issue, just saying that the training sessions I’ve been at he has surprised me with how poor he runs/his fitness base is compared to the rest of the team.

I've always wondered how we compare to other clubs in terms of training standards / drills and fitness approach /focus.
Not making any opinion or comment around port vs us etc.
Just would love to know the players opinions on it.
The closest was Frampton, who made the comment of how different our defensive game was and how hard it was to un-learn things he's done all his career.
Would be interesting to hear from the 3 this year as to whats different (good or bad) between environments & clubs.

How did Swanny used to fare in time trials? Bloke could find the footy better than anyone come game day thoughI think a lot of players who cover a lot of ground on game day but struggle in time trials all have one thing in common - they need to be chasing the footy. Running laps is boring
