Training 2025 Pre-Season Training - reports, pics etc

[windows1]

Gov could barely get on the park before he switched to defence. Think its helped with his durability massively aside from it suiting his skillset.

Reckon he plays better on smaller players. Has the pace to keep up. Bigger guys out body him.

Before Lord was Wilson
Rob M was before Cowan
The way it displayed for me anyway

Reckon Lord could be our Newcombe. Similar playing style and backstory coming through the msd.

Cheers for all your updates

Also, it’s nice to see so many at training already - competition for spots is going to be fierce

Don’t say that. I said that mid year and got laughed at

How would one bet on a player to win the rising star award if that player is not currently in the Sportsbet market? Asking for a friend.

Great to see Duffy out there. The lad is a big solid build. What is he 196 and 96kg I heard

 

[Pablito]

Good to see Wilson has put on some size too, he's probably the one i hope will make the jump this year

He'll get his chance soon.
Our 6 oldest on the list...

Ring and ask them. I do that for greyhounds that aren’t in future markets.
Smith $12 into $8 already

Anyone know when training will be open to public ?

I slammed Soap for saying that pre his debut…..

Apologies Soap. He’s not that far off it…

Cowan looks massive. What a unit.

Cowan looks massive. What a unit.

He's a beast....it's hard to believe he's just over a year older that Jagga....

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Cowan to the midfield. Somebody make my dream come true!!!

He looks in ripping condition.

Love to see him developed around the middle and wing. I think like Kemp defence is not his best position. He's just good enough to play there

Reminds me of a young Hewett, without the versatility, same ish speed, solid hands, good decision maker, both very similar traits

Interesting people talk about the lack of metres gained in Hewett's game (vision is a better indicator), Lord's numbers are much lower per possession, but it's a small sample size

Great pick up for a mid season draft

In a round about way I think that the clubs confidence in the progression of Cooper Lord (who was basically free) meant that Matt Kennedy became surplus to requirements.

This gave us some draft capital that we were able to turn into Harry O'Farrell.

It will be interesting to see how that turns out.

Billy Wilson is my big watch this pre season.

Exactly how I was hoping he’d look first day back

last year he came back with a bit of muscle on... this year he looks leaner... quicker.... Hopefully!

 

[AndyLucimitis]

Moir going to be a weapon! Hope so anyway. Got all the right tools from what I've seen so far and just look at that physique. Genuine weapon.
Also, photo before Lord. If that's HOF, he's a big boy.

The photo I saw of Moir he looks strong through the legs.

 

[bradfisher14]

I would say not.

Just thought he was a little light on in that area is all. Not a big deal. Only my view.
Will most likely add to it over pre-season no doubt.

You don't have to just play one out in the goal square to need upper body and arm strength.
He still needs to be strong enough in the arms for pushing off defenders and tackling.

Didn't mean for my post to seem like an attack on you. Looks a bit harsher reading back. I just get frustrated when every player is judged on how "strong" they look. We need our small forwards to be faster and more agile. Besides the point, we've been the best contested side for the past three seasons and it hasn't brought us a premiership. It's time that we take a different view on things.

We're the only Melbourne based club that has closed training sessions.

Why??

Most Richmond sessions are closed.
