Training Preseason 2024

Full Intraclub Match #2 - 16-02-2024


Enjoy.


Or Cry.


Whatevas driving those emotions.

 

[Paracleet]

It’s crazy Gold Coast is above us when they have never played a final. Essendon hasn’t won one for 20 years either.

Pays to remember betting markets aren't actually rational. Really GC should be 100 to 1. No one is winning the flag when their club has never made the finals before, no matter who is coach.

I think they're a shout to make the 8 though. Surely.

I'm sorry to tell you this but preseason was actually tomorrow...

Yep,
I don't expect Freo to win either but 41-1 is crazy so have put some money on us to then cash out later when we are into under 10's during the season.

 

[Dockeroo]

Even though I don't think we're likely to make top 4, we're nowhere near 41-1 for the flag bad.

Those odd are nuts but not in the way you are saying.
Sportsbet as always are absolute tossers quoting underpriced odds. They do it all the time.
North should be $1000 for the flag. Eagles - $10,000.
I would have ourselves at about $80 to win it, Gold Coast the same. That’s about a genuine reflection of either sides chances of winning a flag in 2024. They have the order about right but anything beyond the top 8 sides should be priced at a minimum of $50.

I only found this out recently but when Sportsbet do a same game multi, they don’t give you the real odds. Say you bet on a 3 leg multi with a single price of $2 per leg, that should amount to 2 x 2 x 2 = $8 for the 3 leg multi.
They will initially price it about $6.50 then give you a “bonus” to make it $8.
Absolute scumbags and it should be illegal.
They also undervalue practically every set of AFL odds. You will see a player like amiss priced at $1.10 to kick 2 goals in a game. That indicate that over 10 games he kicks 2 a game 9/10 times. His goals per game average however will be maybe 1.9 goals a game. Therefore The true likelihood of him kicking 2 goals is probably $1.50. But they will never offer that. The only time you get genuine odds on a player is when a newbie enters the league and they are unsure what his level is like.
It’s just a mass extraction of wealth from young impressionable people but it helps fund the salaries of people like Hutchy and the AFL exec so it will never change.

O'Driscoll is about to be back to his 2022 best if this first training session is anything to go by, No I'm not making an early call......shut up, YOU'RE delusional!!!!

He literally finished first in some of the trials last preseason.

Didn’t he get sick in January?

 

[Superkoops]

Watching the clips on Freo.com.auand social media - impressed with the wranger Davies. Very Vocal encouraging the boys helping players get up off the ground. Like his work. Not sure if he ran any good but seemed to go alright.

 

[Alfonz]

Youngbloods doing time trials of 2x laps (I dunno how far that is, sue me)
Freddy absolutely gliding. Majestic.

He, Worner, Raz consistently the front three.
Followed by Drapes, Johnno then Noddy.
Jacko the first of the big guys then Davies, JT, then Reidy and Jye at the back.

Think it was Williams and not Draper. From the FFC website:

Time Trial 1:
1. Karl Worner
2. Michael Frederick
3. Neil Erasmus
4. Conrad Williams
5. Matt Johnson

Time Trial 2:
1. Michael Frederick
2. Karl Worner
3. Neil Erasmus
4. Conrad Williams
5. Matt Johnson

Time Trial 3:
1. Nathan O’Driscoll
2. Michael Frederick
3. Neil Erasmus
4. Karl Worner
5. Matt Johnson

Noddy doesn’t finish top 5 in the first two and then finishes 1st in the last. Was he saving himself to get the glory in the last one?

Impressive showing from Freddy. Need this guys speed on the wing. It’s time.

Good on NOD for taking out the last one, either he’s got the best endurance or was saving a bit in the tank in the first 2.
Frederick very impressive with a 1st and two second place finishes, worner came out firing with a first, second then slipped to fourth. Very consistent efforts from Ras and Johnson.

You'll go broke fast betting on footy. I mostly stick to horses, they're more trustworthy.

We haven't been asking the important questions here.


Did Hugh Davies wear a hat?

Oh no! Hugh was hatless, I repeat: Hugh was hatless!!

 

[muzzington]

Had to leave early today, but it was actually really enjoyable heading down. Going to go up a level when the seniors return.

Noddy was probably my best on, was working hard and his kicking was excellent. Still has that really sluggish running style but he was moving well.
Sonny... Man. Just keeps on keeping on. Was easily the most vocal along with JT.
Freddy was moving beautifully. Absolute specimen.
Thought Raz looked bigger. Johnno's kicking was excellent. As was Sturt's.

Pleasantly surprised that they launched into some skills after the time trials. The intensity was actually quite good, start of training was dead quiet but once the footy's came out the energy really lifted.
Also, not a bad coffee.

I am not a crackpot.

Cheers for all the updates.

 

[anchor man]

Was Emmett in this group to train?

In the rehab group, apparently

I'm absolutely stoked that Conrad was good in the trials. Now just need to build the body and teach him to find the footy.

like that Erasmus consistency

 

[Vintage]

Preseason bingo

Yep, he won that bet

So in other words teach him to play footy

 

[Joao]

No, no, no, dude can run fast and kick already. Just have to teach him how to seagull to get the ball and we're set.
