They are training now

Must be a light one given they didn’t train on Monday

 

[Tarkyn_24]

It’s probably asked a tonne on here so apologies for those whose time I’m wasting in making this post, but could someone in the know please let me know what days the club trains? Specifically, how frequently and what time on a Monday?

Have a few Mondays free in the next little bit and would love to take the kids down.

He won 2 Derby medals over there which obviously means he was BOG in 2 big games at least. His F50 pressure is insane. He'll be better this year than last. Im chips in on him this year. Ridiculously harshly judged last year IMO. Hes a small/mid sized forward. Like our Norm Smith winner some weeks they're invisible, its the nature of the position. Our coach knows the deal and understands luckily

West Coast in their current circumstance can’t seriously be considered a big game. It would be like big noting a player for being BOG against Carlton through the early 2000’s. Fodder for the fans but really it’s not a reflection of big game ability.

That said, Schulz was important late against Brisbane this year so there’s indications in support of what you’re saying.

He said no chance he leaves

It's all bollacks

Yeah i know the Derby was a flimsy argument but being BOG as small forward in any AFL game isn't easy

Brilliant, thank you.

Absolutely.

Nobody gets out of a Shoota tackle.
He'll be so much better this year, as he won't need to play as a KPF because all of ours are injured.

He played his best footy last year as a deep forward target. He struggled with linking up and using the footy when playing a ground level half forward role.

I've made this observation elsewhere, but he looked like he was just panicking with the ball.
Kind of feel the outside view of the way Pies move it made him feel like everything had to go at warp speed.

His field kicking in particular was far below what he produced at Freo.
Even the check side goal against Bris was made after Elliot salvaged a scrubber kick over 15m.

Really looked like he was trying too hard and he rarely looked sure and composed with the ball in hand. Something he did at Freo.
Having said that, i suspect is was a massive change coming from the way Freo moved it in '23.

At worst...we get what we got last year. Which i'm fine with.
I get the feeling he'll settle a bit this year and will tidy up the field kicking, which was his major area for improvement last year.

Honestly the amount of fuss over a player not re-signing 2 years early is weird. Mostly driven by desperate Freo fans as far as I can see.

It’s funny because I remember him collecting the ball through the center and having a couple of bounces through traffic and nailing a goal against us for Freo.
He used to play quite well against us so good in pressure games.

I hadn't paid any attention to him whilst he was at Freo. With the hype he was getting and sense that other clubs were pissed off that we got him, I was surprised that he was so uncomposed with the footy. I suspect he struggled with the pressure of expectations and extra spotlight that came with a move to the Pies. Hoping he feels more settled this year so the awesome effort and intensity is matched with better ball use.

Completely agree, well worded.

Just looked like he was having to force everything, no freedom.

I’m loving the potential mix up front this year, think our smalls are going to destroy teams.

I’m not sure it was coming to the pies necessarily rather than the popular opinion across the media (social included) that we overpaid in the trade.
When a club pays such a premium for a player that’s not widely regarded as top tier, it tends to come with a huge amount of scrutiny from both media and the clubs supporter base, and I’d be shocked if that kind of pressure didn’t affect any player put in that position.

Hopefully now more than 12 months and another trade period has passed, giving the public other trades (particularly pies trades given our period) to talk about, Schultz can just go about his business being a very good small forward.

I think a fit Mihocek, McStay and potentially Membrey or a combination of 2 of those even is a serious weapon for us too. Checkers and McStay have played about 3 minutes together it seems

I don't think Checkers and McStay have met each other yet.

I'm sure Shoota & Bobby would appreciate having a few more fit, experienced forwards around them. Hopefully that's this year

Mason and IQ breaking the pain barrier:

 

[LuckyLee]

I’d like to put in a request for more training commentary specifically on Houston and Perryman.

Given our current injuries and aging profile, I think both will be vital if we are to make Finals and contend for a Flag.

So far I’ve read very little about either - especially Perryman.
