Training Preseason chat 2022

[THE A5]

There isn’t one yet so might as well make one.

I see our young guys don’t return to trainings till the 22nd of Nov. literally more than 3 months after the season ended. Seems as if preseaons get shorter by the year.

Is the long lay-off something to do with the late finish to the 2020 season?

I think they changed this in the last collective bargaining agreement so they have a longer holiday. If you play in the Grand Final, you only start back just before Christmas. I think that's why coaches talk a lot about players staying fit in the off-season, as there isn't a lot of time to build general fitness.

Reminds me of how many of our players were coming off injuries last pre-season, no wonder our fitness was so shit during the season.

Im just waiting to see how long it is before someone drops the classic training narrative post into this thread.

How about we give this overused unfunny joke a rest?
Its right up there with posting Gee on anything to do with Venables and putting Jack Watts as a pole option as embarrassing crap just clogging up threads.

Seems about right. Senior players came back in December in 2019 which was our last normal (non covid) season.

Our players are so professional they pretty much train themselves. Remember after lockdown last year how they all rocked up to that hub in premium condition then proceeded to outrun and work all the other teams? Then this year, even better.

He's also nearly 30 years old

 

[FKASC]

Probably also a result of our poor ball movement this year.

Doesn't seem like many of our players are even attempting a pre-season early.

So many of our players are still enjoying themselves ( rightly so with the way the rules are) but i would have thought with the squad thinking they were in contention they would be up and about early to get ready for next year...

Nah, there were a fair few boys running laps and kicking around when I went past a few weeks ago. I recall Witherden, Nelson, Cole, McGovern (albeit slowly), Kelly, Shuey, Ryan, Rotham, Petch, H Edwards, Williams and I think there were more I didn’t notice at the far end.

Kelly in particular looked focused, unlike most he was running by himself and at a good pace. Looked sharp.

A couple of Perth boys but I doubt they’ll be slotting them come season proper haha.
