Training Preseason Training Thread - 2024/25

[Yeahnahmate]

Almost half the training reports spelling Hewett correctly - promising signs although it is only pre-season so tempering expectations

I want to add some feedback one of the S&C blokes gave me on Monday whilst chatting RE Baker.

Said the players an staff have been blown away by Liam’s intensity and effort. Never seen anything like it, in his 8-9 years at the club. His ability to hit/take a hit, bounce back up and go again is seriously impressive and inspiring.

Will become a fan favourite - Beau Waters type, very quickly - despite the initial rage post trade period.

There’s still prolonged rage, it’s not just initial. I’m glad he’s receiving praise like that on the track but no one will ever convince me that he was worth pick 14.

The only problem with these types is their body doesn't hold up long term. Waters and Kerr being good examples.

Harley may have an extra reason to be getting fit - I saw him early today getting a coffee and he was accompanied by a very attractive young blonde woman in gym gear who did not look like an AFLW player.

Apologies all, I've just had confirmation that the "attractive young blonde woman in gym gear" was in fact Callum Jamieson.

Eaglemaniac is booked into the optometrist tomorrow.

Yeah he looks solid. I don't think he has the explosiveness and athleticism of Greene, but he was pretty gassed during components of the training/sims so that could be fatigue based. Seems like he has good footy smarts and knows where to position himself, natural footy player, like Greene, and will probably end up a similar build.

I suspect he'll be a fan favourite and have people wondering how he slid to pick 46.

You mentioned him being gassed, his tank definitely needs work and he didn't do well in the 2km at the combine. He's a power/burst athlete who'll take some time build his tank.

Stoked to have him though as he looks a natural with good skills/smarts as well as being a proper tough nut with some campaigner in him

Hopefully Baker does. He’s the only one that can.

I may be old with failing eyesight these days, but it ain’t that bad.

This shit again, can we leave this as the training thread, go and sook somewhere else will ya.

 

[DorothyG]

When he holds hands with Cal Jamieson she still puts hers on top though - can't win them all.

 

[ghostbat12]

Good news, Reid's starting training 10 minutes early instead.

When he holds hands with his girlfriend she still puts hers on top though - can't win them all.

A long winded way to say “no”. Waffle just gets in the way.

Except I said yes.

Gee

 

[Dark Sharks]

One nuffie bangs on incorrectly about "The Graham/Baker trade" and suddenly derails the entire thread.


Well played. We needed it after so many genuine training reports.

Agreed.

Just moved a WHOLE bunch of posts to the Contracts/Trade/Draft thread. Can we try and keep things kinda on topic?

Cheers

How about you and I have a pact? I will no longer waste space trying to push away that festering turd Briskent and you let the pick 14 go.

Having differing opinions is healthy, I just do not like his passive aggressive smart arse know all self proclaimed wiseman from the east. Our mods are soft and want to make us look like nice children playing side by side so allow crap. Not sure any of our mods ever played hard and wanted to win contested football!

No way in hell was it good trading to give up pick 14.Clarke had a shocking start to life as a negotiator and we can only hope The Don as put things in place. Overall draft and trade, most are happy and we cannot change it.

Accurate description.

ATG has been locked on and breathing fire....Even taking shots at the mods, saying they're our board equivalent of a Cale Morton. (My term for soft).

I've been enjoying this!

Closest virtual thing we can do to settle this is have a board intra SFA match.

If nothing else, it'd be pretty funny.
