Still one of the best goals you'll ever see from a young kid.

or maybe this one:

Young kid, old kid, any kid!!!
Stunning goal, absolute desperation leading up to his 100 to 1 eye of the needle shot. He also had blistering pace. Still feel that he was almost as great a loss to us as Son of Ross.
It’s a cruel game at times.

Oh we’re bringing up Kieran Harper again are we?

Blame RF08

Training session at Anglesea today?

Shocker of a week to have a training camp down at Anglesea. Driving rain here in the inner west today, can only imagine what it’s like down the Surf Coast at the moment. Wednesday dropping to 15 degrees.

Players were probably thinking originally that they were going to get some warm weather and a few waves in the evening this week. Good practice for the winter though.

I'm not sure what our training schedule is like, but i would like to see us train under different conditions and different times.

Do we ever do any evening training around 8pm when a night game starts?

Yeah, good. Harden them up a bit.

It's incredibly frustrating. Overlooking guys who we'd been linked to leading up to the draft has been a big bug bear of mine. Historically there are some of the worst....

2010 - Kieran Harper over Luke Parker
2014 - Daniel Nielson over Touk Miller & Brayden Maynard
2019 - Jack Mahony over Chad Warner

While we're riding the seas of misery...

2003 - David Trotter, Chad Jones, Brent LeCras, Eddie Sansbury, Shane Harvey over Aaron Davey
2008 - Jack Ziebell over Steele Sidebottom (Jack was a decent compensation though)
2010 - Shaun Atley over Isaac Smith

How did we miss the granddaddy of them all?....

2006 - Lachie Hansen over Joel Selwood......

I've been waiting 17 years for him to retire because every single time his name is mentioned I'm reminded that we passed on him in the 2006 draft.

Didn't we also take Liam Anthony ahead of Rory Sloane?

Are you campaigners right

Are you campaigners right

We’re cleansing before we rise again

....or jack Riewoldt, who was literally right under our nose playing for the VFL aligned Tassie side as a teenager

They lacked fitness? GTFO, no way. I'm not buying it.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Sydney are soft no wonder they lost the granny

Get out there and train in that rain

 

[jay317]

We've been lacking fitness for a decade. WTF have we been doing?

 

[Psicosis]

Our media team mustn’t be there, considering the lack of content

Gonna be honest it kind of baffles me. Standards DID lift initially under noble, especially trying to get more running power. So was it just initially and in the second year nobody gave 2 ****s? Were we still too far behind the pack even with that lift? Or were we doing enough but it's one of the things which genuinely Takes Time?

No idea, but one preseason under Kevin Whites program (high regarded in AFL circles and has a proven track record at the Pies) is not sufficient.

I’m planning to head to Anglesea for a look Wednesday morning. I will report back hopefully to the standard others have on here.

Can someone confirm it’s 8am start?

If we start improving this year there will be no way to tell. If we don't improve our fitness for a couple more years then you'll have your answer.
