Training 2025 Pre-Season /// THEY’RE BACK! /// QLD “relationship building & hard work” camp is early December

[The Nostradamus]

Good to see a nice early turn out.

True but the real test will be how many senior blokes turn up early when the stop watch is on Monday time trial

Easier to turn up for a friendly kick around

Have a strong strong feeling Fisher will be the whipping boy extraordinaire, Jaidyn is gone so time to get on a bike and **** around while everyone else looks jacked

The photo of Wil and Stephens next to each other... absolute chalk and cheese.

Will definitely in the running for most ripped.

Harsh - Stephens looks to be in pretty good knick. He is also an outside player so doesn't need the bulk of an inside mid. WillPhil is also a chode (respectfully and with love)

Plus dyl will still end up dominating the time trials

And in his role stamina and speed is most important

Goad looks to have put on some size

You and Buttox still wish we'd traded him to Port for Soldo? Give him time, he'll be worth it imo.

 

[Gasometer]

Fantastic looking physiques

Can they kick and handball yet?

Edit - some one just PM’d me and said I forgot fumbling

Have they learnt to stop fumbling yet?

They can handball. They start “to each other” in week 3 or 4 I think. Check on the club website for details.

lol Fish is gunna be the wboy so bad next season. I hope for his sake he gets into ripping shape and proves us all wrong but he’s definitely in no rush to return, is he

Yep
Project rucks are shit.
Just grab some 26 year old in ruck merry go round each year.
Cheap as chips and skip like 5 years development.
Massive waste of a list spot.

Hopefully won't matter. He's too patchy as a half-back, not a good enough goalscorer or tackler to play as a small forward, and any or all of Sheezel, Duursma, Zurhaar, Simpkin, Powell can do most of what he does between the centre circle and the forward 50.

campaigner's obviously enjoying the recent famous North culture. Hope he pukes at the first training session next year

I don't agree. I'd rather take a shot at developing a potential AA level ruck like Xerri or Gawn and have them for 10 years than scramble every few years for some spud merry go round ruck discard.

I think people who get that done end up having REGETS in later life.

It's not just that mate. He came back to pre-season last year in subpar shape. That was well-documented. Then he struggled for consistency this year. I didn't notice himself running himself into the ground the way Bailey Scott does, yet he should be the type who is able to do that. If he was a visibly hard worker and a big fan of the humorous/meme post, I wouldn't give a shit. Charlie Comben's a big fan of that stuff and I don't single him out at all, cos I know he's one of the few who actually wants to get us out of this hole and is willing to put the effort in.

I'm sick of this shit. Sick of these attitudes. Sick of draft pick salivation. Yeah, maybe it's my problem, not the players', but you can flip that around and ask the players why they're bothering if they can't be arsed working themselves to the bone and giving themselves a chance at making it to the top

FWIW I agree that Fisher hasn't done much this year to alleviate my suspicions that living the lavish North salary lifestyle was a factor in his decision to come over. I'm not going to write him off just yet, I reckon he has some useful tools, but he really needs to get to work this off-season. I'd say that North fans have enough residual off-season-whipping-boy-bicycle related trauma anyway, so I get it.

Man is going to be eaten by a leopard before even making it to Arden St

Already working harder than half our list (am I doing it right?)

That would be very North Melbourne.
