Training Preseason Training Thread - 2024/25

[Keys]

And that’s me done for preseason

Probably the best conditioning I’ve seen the squad in since I’ve been attending training.

There’s a bit to look forward to this season albeit we’ll lose more than we win and there’ll be the occasional shellacking when things come completely unstuck

Stay positive, take the good with the bad as the players learn the new game plan and Mini identifies what he has to work with. Some will thrive, others will fall away but one thing I’m sure of is that the effort and desire to compete and improve will be there

Onwards and upwards, enjoy the season

Just down at a Cafe next to MRP. Jack Graham is pumping out laps. Good to see as it was stated above he’s meant to be on a mandated break. Good leadership

Yeo - Late 2025

 

[Schtinker]

What’s the usual time frame for an MCL?

West Coast scenario, amputation with no likely recovery.

 

[KERRPOW]

After the bye people.

Late 2017

 

[Rowan18]

No training today - players are on their mandated 4 day break between their return after Christmas and the first preseason game

Next session is Wednesday

These campaigners have more holidays than teachers!

Running fast and straight then leaping to try to smother and then you want him to keep his arms straight and” push off” ??
Good way to break an arm or wrist if you ask me.
I think some of you blokes have got your “ I hate Maynard” glasses on!

Look he can brace for contact like he did that's fine but the rules around head high contact are if you choose to bump you are responsible for outcomes .

Maynard had no outcomes is why everyone is shitty .

Afl after telling everyone that they are protecting the head then engineering a not guilty verdict is BS .

100% if it was a player for a non vic team would have been suspended.

As someone married to a teacher let me pass on the message they need every one of those days, you can’t begin to imagine how hard it is and if it’s so good, why don’t you do it.

I gave up this fight years ago

They spend most their time at home prepping or marking. Bonkers amounts of unpaid overtime

Daniels reporting 4-8 weeks

So all of preseason and maybe 2-3 games

Not ideal but better than it might have been

Also Flynn hobbled off a couple of weeks ago with a blister not an ankle as originally reported

Even PE teachers? Got a mate who is one and is down south playing golf every school holidays. Such a campaigner.

This is where we differ. Maynard didn’t go the bump.He turned sideways to protect himself. If he didn’t t hen go look at Brad Shepherd to see what happens when you go chest on into contact.A couple of the hits Shep took were the result of not turning sideways to protect himself.
Brayshaw is as hard as a cats head but certainly not a cerebral footballer.
Couldn’t he see a player coming at speed in a beeline??
P.S the AFL agreed with me!
Next!!

They’re not real teachers

These campaigners have more holidays than teachers!

And, on average, they earn about 5 times more than most of us!

Agree that 90% of teachers are underpaid and overworked but PE teachers are the exception to the rule, they're just dodgeball supervisors

Elliot Yeo injury update

The Eagles star has damaged his knee and ankle during training
By westcoasteagles.com.au
Just now

Scans have revealed West Coast midfielder Elliot Yeo has injured the medial ligament in his right knee and sustained syndesmosis damage to his right ankle.

Yeo was injured when he was tackled during match simulation at Mineral Resources Park during training on Friday.

“There are always risks involved as we increase the intensity at training to prepare for the season, and unfortunately Elliot has sustained injuries to his right knee and ankle,” General Manager Football Gavin Bell said.

“We are working through his rehab program and a return-to-play timeline.

“At this stage, we’re hopeful he will be available in the early part of the season.”

Ankle might be the issue.

Hopefully Early part of the season

I wasn't having a dig at teachers - they're just a profession that have a lot of holidays. They've really stripped back the amount of time they can actually train in pre-season, while also doing everything they can to speed up the game. Also added an extra H&A round too.

Let's go Hall or Hutch straight into the middle

I'm friends with quite a few teachers and noticed that the overtime depends a lot on how efficient they are with prep work (ie not over-doing it) and marking. One of their spouses is an engineer and massively cut down their time by designing a more efficient marking system.

The other thing they didn't seem to acknowledge is that school hours are 8.30-3.30 (7hrs including breaks) which probably necessitates at least 1-2hrs extra to make up an 8hr work day.

The syndesmosis is probably more of a concern than the knee

 

[Broken_Chairs]

4-8 weeks would be a good outcome. Was bloody certain we'd be getting our usual "freak horrorshow injury"

It would be dealing with the kids parents who are rude, illogical or both that would do my head in

Everyone thinks everyone elses jobs easier i guess.

sounds like the syndesmosis injury isn't requiring surgery or is on the minor end, and MCL injury, 8 weeks might be a reasonable time frame being conservative
