Training Pre-season updates 2025.

[WakeUpPies]

I can play basketball for hours but if you tell me jog for 3 minutes then I’m running straight for the high way with my eyes closed.

I 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

If they can set up fake rabbits for greyhounds to chase after, surely we could hook up a mechanized footy for Will to chase - or even a real footy.

I've noticed WHE is in the same boat, struggles in the running for someone that runs so much during games. So guess some it doesn't affect their game fitness.

Reckon it might be that WHE doesn't try that hard. He is and always has been an elite runner. Has one of the best ever draft combine beep tests and 3k time trials.

Yeah maybe thats it. He doesn't try very hard. It's just something ive notiiced over the last 12 months, just seems to do poorly in the shuttle runs and yo yo tests and just thought it was strange

Has nothing to prove, maybe. The coaches know what he's capable of.

Doesn't stop the rest of them haha guess they are more compeitive at these fitness stuff, and with Will, he is at the age where he doesn't want to push himself too much

Looks like Cochran has a broken hand of some sort. Explains why he only did running.

Not the Collingwood finger curse?!

Lets hope not.
But looking at the support seems to be more top of his hand maybe?

It's a thumb support.

 

[No SPIN]

I guess these are rhetorical questions but here's my take anyway:
1. Yeah.. Nick will get better again, especially at coping with a close tag.
2. Houston will reignite our transition game. Perryman will add some defensive grunt to the midfield. Membrey could kick 30 goals as a deep lead up forward.
3. Hopefully about the same from the old boys. They look hungry, but need to be managed through the season.
4. Not expecting much, but Ed Allan and Wil Parker are the 2 to watch.
5. De Goey is the concern. Whether he can get back to full fitness. The others should be fine.

My biggest question is about our backline. Last year it had more holes than leaky sieve. Who steps up to fill the Murphy role, is it Dean or maybe Reef? And can Moore & Quaynor, in particular, recapture 2023 form.

I'd add Ryan, Long and Steene as players to watch.

Sprain I reckon.

 

[PieBeast]

You know there is no prize for worst post of year?

Not after your's "Ned Long has been delisted"

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

Sprain I reckon.

Yep, doesn't look like anything to be concerned about.

 

[Jen2310]

I’m supposed to do what? HH probably

Is that part of a new policy to ridicule the rehab blokes to make them less willing to get injured?

I just assume its part of the recovery lol some new technique Was come up with.
It has water in it.

if we see that thumb stabilizer for another 3-6 weeks, then it's either a sprain or a mild fracture.
The fact that it is not immobilized suggests that his injury is in the less severe end.

Moves like (+ hopefully better than) Jagga

A fracture without plaster. Right

You are more than welcome to read up on it. Mild fractures can be treated with splints.

That's a glove. One that's made for sprains.

He seems pretty advanced in his rehab - I hope we see him play some games next year.
