Training Preseason 2022/23 Talk & Media/Social Media etc.

[Betts are off]

Love seeing Tex out there. Feel like he could be in for a great season now he's not the lone wolf up front.

Would love to see him snag 64 goals in 2023. Tops his PB in a season and hits the 600 career goals mark.

Anyone able to say who?

The early pre-season is Lachie Sholl and Chayce Jones’ time to shine, and the pair continued their habit of being among the stronger Crows runners when the majority of players did some gruelling shuttles at the end of the session. Smith and Milera also looked strong. On the other end of the scale, second-year player Zac Taylor was in some serious trouble and he limped to the line. But he got plenty of encouragement from his teammates as he struggled.

Anyone able to say who?

1. RANKINE WATCH

He was wearing the non-contact hat after off-season shoulder surgery, but Izak Rankine moved well and showed exciting signs on his first day of pre-season for the Crows. The former Gold Coast Sun looked to be in good condition and was even around the ball for periods in match simulation. He also got on the end of a couple of chains for goals and produced a fine volley goal during shooting practice.


2. CROUCHING TIGER

After no interest from other clubs during the trade period, Matt Crouch was with the Crows first to four year players on day one of pre-season. After an injury interrupted 2021, Crouch had a bit of a slower start to pre-season in 2022. He moved without issue during the session and got plenty of the footy during match sim. He was joined by Taylor Walker, Brodie Smith and Wayne Milera in returning earlier than expected. The players who played in SANFL finals are expected back next week, but that didn’t stop Kieran Strachan, Luke Pedlar, Lachlan Gollant, James Borlase and Josh Worrell from turning up to day one.

3. SKIPPER BUILDING

Rory Sloane emerged from the gym halfway through the session and did some running drills. After tearing his ACL in round 5 the Crows captain moved well. He was joined by Ben Keays, Mitch Hinge, Sam Berry and Tariek Newchurch in training away from the main group.

4. CHAYCE IS ON FOR JONES AND SHOLL

The early pre-season is Lachie Sholl and Chayce Jones’ time to shine, and the pair continued their habit of being among the stronger Crows runners when the majority of players did some gruelling shuttles at the end of the session. Smith and Milera also looked strong. On the other end of the scale, second-year player Zac Taylor was in some serious trouble and he limped to the line. But he got plenty of encouragement from his teammates as he struggled.

Fingers crossed Pedlar can have a full preseason

Burgess said that Sholl, McHenry and Cook have all added a bit of size.

Most players out there today except Laird who's in Noosa training with some Melbourne players

Good, you could argue all three needed to do that

64 is quite the tally. i'd be surprised but we can all hope.

 

[1990crow]

Am looking forward to see what improvements some players have made physically.

Zac Taylor struggled according to Burgess because he just arrived back in Adelaide having driven from Melbourne

Aaaah no. Nope.

Can't have that.

Tats. I didn't realise he's got tats!



Can we send him back and get a clean one?

 

[Thetrader15]

I might just make an exception for Izak.

 

[StickerMan]

Aaaah no. Nope.

Looks ripped though!

Also, music to my ears to hear that he has no issues keeping up with some of our stronger runners and ability to move into midfield won't be a fitness issue.

 

[Mutineer]

Good to see Chels out there with the lads after her dissapointment on the weekend...

 

[1990crow]

Surprisingly positive about Seedsman and McAsey.

 

[1990crow]

Smith looks in good nick. A strong season from him would really help.

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Burgess looks so much older. Are we aging him?

Just as well you can’t see what they have done to me

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Was Turner out at training today ?

 

[Eagleboy2011]

All of us.

 

[cleanhands]

All of us.

They even aged my photo’s from 20 years ago

 

[ams4crows]

I'd probably be a bit flat after an 8-9 hour drive, hopefully Zac is better in the coming weeks, he's a player I'm excited about.
