Core strength - balance and having to respond to movement as well. Bloody tough.

Man... this time of year is tough. Feeling homesick for altitude...

Loved your work.

....., and extra weight when needing to run 15km does make it harder to cover the ground. How many 10km runners do you see with any sort of skinfold?

...... But what we can probably agree on is that excess body fat is not advantageous to AFL.

We're on the same wavelength. I think people took my post the wrong way. I was merely pointing out that in the camp such as this to me he is carrying at least 1-2kg for an elite sportsman he is and doubt he could get any kind of PB's.... or if he did, then he'd have even better results if he wasn't carrying the extra load.

I love Swanny. I love the way he goes about it. I love effort his on the field, I love he can change a game...... love, love love everything. Would shredding the extra weight make Swanny a better player - of course not!! But seeing the other mids so cut I think it's fair to question his prep for the camp.



Maybe a reminder picture how Swanny carried himself.....?

A few years back... compare Swanny and Harry both bang on yeah?

And now ... Swanny. Hmmm!??

And Harry. Bang on!

Swanny after football?

It's mid december FFS, what is it, the 2nd day of the pre season camp? It's not like Swan has pulled a Shannon Cox and come back looking like Jarman!

He would have had skin fold/weight/aerobic capacity levels that he would be expected to meet when returning to training. If he hadn't of met those you can bet we'd know about it! He'd be part of the "fat club" that runs at the start of every year for players who came back outside the levels the club had set.

Swan's body isn't the same shape as Beams/Ball/Pendles, they have the typical V shape profile and need to be cut to play at their best. Swan is a more solid straight build with immense core strength.

You can bet by the early rounds of the season that Swan will have more definition but he'll never have the same shape as the other guys.

I would love to see Swanny shredding the weight off!

Too young Shellz?

Day 3.

The indoor facility hosted the group for the day three session.

A group warmup on the Utah football end zone.

David Buttifant briefs Ben Reid on the day's activities.

Alex "Stretch" Fasolo and Lachlan Keeffe work with bands to gain mobility and strength.

Clinton Young and Jackson Paine do the 'crab'.

Jordan Russell is settling in smoothly to his new club.

A vantage point overlooking the U in the centre of the field.

Sorry boys but it's time to run.

Heath Shaw put in a gut busting effort during the conditioning session.

Many were pleased to see the double doors at the end of the day.

-> Doors say no food or drink except water.
-> Sees a powerade bottle on the ground.

REBELS.

You know it's Utah when it says "No Sunflower Seeds allowed".

REBELS.

Powerade is made with water.

 

[Old Spice]

Glad they don't allow vibrators onto the field.

Powerade is made with water.

Soda is made with water too.

I wish we were still in Flagstaff, at least this crappy song wouldn't be running through my mind.



Arrrggghhhhh!!!!

You UTTER bastard! Worse song ever made, thanks for the brain worm.

It's the type of song you have looping during a delirium.

LOL sorry Spiceman, I have successfully transferred the worm.

It's so bad you wish for the days of Milli Vanilli.

No youtube vid, that would be cruel & unusual punishment.

 

[juzzo]

Must not click, must not click, ahh **** it...

Well that was terrible, no way that's getting stuck in my head.

 

[BEEG]

How long until you change your avatar, to a shirtless Ben Reid?

I'm guessing you haven't found a photo yet?

Anything with Kate Bush is quality, even if its sampled

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

He isn't carrying extra weight it's his skin folds that would be slightly higher than others. A lot of it comes down to genetics some blokes just can't cut up.

Swanny is genetically disposed to the party life!

 

[Number 10]

Swanny is fine. He has always had a barrel chested look to him and never really had definition. Takes nothing away from his ability.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Good to see that Broomy is getting along well with his fellow SA boys, given Grundy and Kennedy are usually joined at the hip.
