Preseason Training Thread - 2014

I think the thoughts that Batsanis could be seen as a Matt White replacement could be apt, not as blindingly quick but better skills, would make a handy sub

This is it captain blood 17 . I've heard you've got a bulls eye tattoo'd around your sphincter princess.

Hey Rusty ! That boat of yours must be overflowing by now and I bet you gave up on getting the rig bated up & left it in the boot to make more room on the boat….

The clubs should employ ink artists to sit on the bench during games so they can ink away while their on the pine!

Boooooooooooooooo The Rusty Trombone boooooooooooooooo

 

[Greggy]

Skinned tiger tatt? Should've payed for a better artist, average.

PS. Is there training today?

He needs to lift this, hopefully he's working hard at it. Really need someone like Jackson to take him under his wing this preseason and show him how it's done.

Still hasn't got over that no one else bar us wanted him.

Lets not forget that McBean already put on something like seven kilos in his first year, which is a fair bloody effort. Lets also not forget that he's 19 and males dont generally stop growing until they're about 21. He would be on a modified plan having just come back from a leg injury which would have restricted the work he could have done anyway. No point doing upper body work if your lower body isnt getting a work out too, it'd just lead to his body being out of balance.

TL;DR friends dont let friends miss leg days. He'll get there.

He was probably given a break, like I suspect most of the first years were. Players need time off for recovery, especially in their first few years. They'd obviously have some fitness requirements, but as Emma Quayle's story on Vlastuin showed, they wouldn't be able to just keep training over the break without the risk of hampering their bodies. I know McBean in particular went oveseas, so he probably wasn't required to be training during the break.

Just saw the Magaray Medal winner training with us. Matt Thomas.

Is he perfect for the captaincy of the VFL side?

Can he have an impact in our 22?

Loved seeing blokes that need that 'competitive' edge getting down and dirty.

 

[THE_GUN]

Loved the end with Chocco and the smirky grin

Griffiths & Batchelors tussle was great to see

Darrou & Elton looking up & about

 

[Dragonss]

Props to the video maker of the training vids. Great soundtrack (what is it anyway?), great footage and great editing. Loved seeing Griffiths.

 

[Dragonss]

Seems like Cadeyn's shoulder is going well. Who's the guy at 2.48 in the video? Looks like Knights

 

[theflea]

[Westicle]

Fat lot of good it's doing him

 

[DontArgue4]

Darrou is massive!

Imagine he was a few inches taller

 

[THE_GUN]

Darrou is massive!

Imagine he was a few inches taller

Just imagine !! another 2 inches = 195cm would of been great
Darrou,Batchelor,Dea all fighting for the 1 spot

How tall is he now ? I"m pretty sure when he was drafted he was 190cm but he's about 21 now so I'd be surprised if he had not grown at little more in nearly 3 years......

 

[THE_GUN]

190.5cm Height 190cm width

It could even be the other way around

He'll improve with a change of scenery so most possibly yes. Fingers crossed Hampson improves too!
