Roast Training standards / skills and fitness

[DuckYeah]

Sick of this mentality of “i’ll do what I have to do” I meet metrics, im liked.. **** that. No one likes me at my job but I get shit done as a leader. If you dont like it, **** off, pack your bag, get the **** off site. I run a ****ing tight ship. You know what? Ive been in a few scraps and blues because of it, but I dont give a ****. Thats how I do shit and thats how its being done. Productivity and Production. Get it done.

We need that and less of Roo Lotto. EAD Jy Simpkin

and Luke Mcdonald, take that shave your head shit and stick it up your arse.

Build a following, but its too late for that now. I want both of you campaigners to **** off with your soft campaigner president

Hopefully pre-season is a bit more intense after that season finish, as opposed to last year where I suspect the playing group thought they'd turned the corner after smacking around a half-asleep Gold Coast side. They need to step up big time and supporters need to see some accountability.

 

[Kanga Glory]

I remember reading about the Irish rugby union captain who was retiring after losing his last game at the world cup. There campaign was over , they had a non compulsory recovery session the next morning, only one player turned up.
Yes, the retired captain.
I wonder if north had a non compulsory recovery session on Sunday, how many and who would turn up.
We need a massive shift in their commitment to getting better.

If we are the youngest and most inexperienced side then maybe the lack of training standard/ quality of training is understandable. Maybe this is something that needs to be learned and developed with experience? It seems like this has been hilighted and the team will put an emphasis on finding ways of improving standards.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Bit of a sad state when you skipper (LMac) has hardly improved his body composition since he was drafted. That’s the standard right there.

Hopefully Sheez and X are the ones to set the standard this pre season

If we don't get good older successful players in then we are reliant on this somehow working out.

I dunno if I want to rely on that.

This^

Look at virtually every player who has been on our list 3+ years & tell me who has put on noticible size.

One of the commentators actually mentioned something along the line that most of the Hawks players look hard & fit eg Newcombe, Moore, Worpel looked ripped & even Ginivan is the fittest & strongest he's been.

It's no coincidence that the players who commit to a dedicated off season & pre season have the best years.....

Zurhahaha has put on a beer gut since signing his contract at least that’s putting on some size right?

 

[Themanbun]

We are also twigs, and get beaten around so easily forward and in the middle

100%

 

[The Law]

Just need to look at Taylor and Stevenson. On the list for multiple years and built like 14 year olds. How does that happen...

Do they walk into the gym, sign their names and then leave?

These guys need Clarko to take them to the Kokoda

'How Kokoda changed a club' by Luke Hodge - PlayersVoice

My first memory of wanting to play AFL was 1995. I was a Richmond supporter (thank God I went to Hawthorn!), and we’d made the trip from Colac to the MCG to see the Tigers play North Melbourne, who were a power team with Wayne Carey at the helm. Richmond won, and this …

pre- trip Hawks sound really familiar

Conversely, I can see why post-saga Clarko might be hesitant to charge everyone into the ocean over wrong socks etc.

This is what j am saying. No one is leading the way with being competitive in the gym at the club

Who the **** is intimidated as a forward playing against Lmac? LOL

We need to start now though

We are so far behind in this category and I believe its contributing to most of our belief and our mental capability on the field

Hmmm very interesting. What club does this type of training in their preseason?

I remember Utah lol

 

[justroyal]

Were they selfish and undisciplined because they had so much individual talent around?

Where were just selfish and shit?

Maybe they smart.


A Perth gym where a bodybuilder was found unconscious after 15 hours under a cold shower, is being investigated by WorkSafe.


He died in Joondalup Hospital after being on life support for two weeks.

As I've mentioned before in another thread

I heard a few players has had some harsh truths in their exit meetings (physical, strength, endurance, especially muscle) and there are some loose forms of KPI or expectations in this preseason.

****ing awesome to hear

 

[The Law]

are we allowed to say that sort of stuff still? surprised the AFLPA don't come down hard and say it's bullying. Plus the "let them enjoy their holidays!!!" crew.

no one would be surprised. next logical step after banning skinfolds

 

[gerry101101]

We should be doing everything we can to promote flair. We need to pull any lever we can to attract support.

The lotto is an outdated, BS culture which prevents expression of the individual player.

Agreed. Apparently JHF was very upset about it when his time came for a head shave, perhaps because he feared it might affect his ability to pick up Miles Bergman's brownlow votes once he transferred...

Not sure! but the gym or weights standards have to start from somewhere (the players)

And whatever we were doing for the past decade or longer, has not worked.

We look a bunch of skinny, weak, twigs on the field. Even if they were harsh truths it would be the truth at least.

We got to take it seriously and shouldn’t be allowed to be paid so much money to just eat lettuce and never lift a weight. Time to roll up the sleeves and get to work

Good.

About time.

 

[Devil Fish]

Lots of valid points here.

Always remember Joel Crocker accepting his jumper. He had the body of a 14 year old. When he left, he had the body of a 12 year old…..,

It’s alarming when McGuane suggested our training standards were poor.

It’s alarming when we need to trade for a washed up key forward to lift our training standards.

I thought signing Clarko would’ve automatically corrected this issue. I’d love to know why that hasn’t been the case.
