Opinion Commentary & Media VII

[murray wrensted]

I haven't listened to any NM podcasts. Except for Bigfooty's own scottywiper many years ago - which was good. Oh and BF board effort which was also decent.

Can someone save me the effort (I'm very important and wealthy and don't have the time for such things) and summarise the offerings?

I guess to compound our doubt, we’ve had a lot of our coaching staff out of the game for a decent amount of time (2-4 years) and some not around great standards either (patch and Emma perhaps). So you’re right, who is driving this and demanding standards?

I would hope Clarkson. He knows what it takes to build a team of young men and turn them into premiership players. Micks article only really singles out LDU, and tbh I was surprised at the subtle backhander with the “strong coach” line

 

[muttley45]

So it seems the old "you play like you train" line is still 100% spotonski

 

[Cool Kangas]

And there it is!!

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

Close enough lol

Decent reply from Purple there.

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

So if under Clarko training intensity is still miles off, we must have had subterranean standards before.

We are the Mariana Trench of the AFL. We are trying to get to Everest.

When I played footy I did 2 things that caused me to go from solid local leaguer to a representative squad:

1. I went from going through the motions at training to doing every drill at 100%

2. Put a lot of work into building my tank

It's insane to me that some blokes in the AFL haven't worked out how to get the best out of themselves by focusing on these 2 areas, which are a matter of will and not skill. What's even crazier to me is that coaches are potentially watching this and not correcting it.

Then again, the coaches might be correcting it - I haven't been down for any trainings in recent times.

Ligma do the “besties” have a pod?

Hashtag Kangaroos - genuine and has players on from time to time. Not super polished and some of the regulars are more my taste (more inclined to be positive, more knowledgeable) than others, but they are all invested and I’ve enjoyed plenty of episodes. Also it equally covers the men’s and women’s teams which I value highly. Also often has Rick on, which is always worth a listen.

what a c#@k

He is spewing about the Larkey impersonation, for certain.

I can't believe I'm defending him but it was a reasonable rebuttal, especially for him.

 

[Horizons_00]

I remember BBB when he moved to Dees saying the biggest surprise to him was how much harder they trained than at NM.

Put Dal Santo in there too

I reckon we train and work at the gym with the most pathetic intensity. It shows too.

 

[Horizons_00]

If that isn’t embarrassing for the playing group that our team trains with the lowest level of intent, I don’t know what is

Its been like for over a decade though

Nothing has changed

heck you man. I watched clips of Tarryn Thomas hitting the Stairmaster with some song I've never heard of playing (to be fair I never moved past the Baroque period) and knew we are leave no stone unturned in the quest for glory. I then saw that Tarryn followed up his intense cardio session with a high protein meal (Zinger combo) to ensure his efforts were capitalised on.

If there's another club training harder out there, then they deserve their success.

Leaking red time goals - I think it's been a thing for over a decade now

Laughing boy LMac setting training standards….

 

[archereleven]

Is this for real? Or made up?

I can’t tell any more who is Purple and who isn’t…

But whoever said, they ain’t half wrong.

I could take or leave what players say after they switch teams. They're going to want to fluff their new fans as much as possible.

For me it's comparing the physique of our young players to those of I. E. Hawks or gws. There's a stark difference.

Very rarely do we seem to have a player in their first year or two that screams out AFL ready rig. Even sheezel whose had some of the better gains of our young players looks like a whippet up against some other players (he obviously outclasses them though), and I'd put him at the top of our kids regarding development on his own time.
