Training Preseason 2025.

[Maybe Tomorrow]

The training session was supposed to finish at 11am. It went for another half an hour or so. Dimma made the sprint along the edge of the field during that time. It looked absolutely brutal. I guess he's working on the mental side of it to not give up when it gets hard. Or maybe to show off to the fans lol.


The training session def had a different feel to it to. I think the players know this is there year. They pushed and giving it there all. I think there's also genuine competition for spots. So many talented players. I was glad to see Ben long in the red jumpers which seemed like the main team for most of the training session. A lot of predictions for the best 22 are saying he's out of the team. Honestly, I thought he was there best small forward last year. I also want Leo Lombard to play tho. He looks like a beast. I think he's already my fav player.


Also seemed like they were well prepared to talk to the public. I think they've had someone good in to train them because they were all very well spoken when they were signing at the end of the session.

Side note... finally got Dimmas signature.

Anyone unexpected in the red jumpers that you saw? Or NOT in the red team of note?

Ben Long should start best 22 forward. Had a great second half of the year, so glad he seems to be given first call up so far.

If we need to open a space for Leo, then Holman is the one to go for me. Far less impactful than Long and has been well overdue for someone to take his spot.

Yeah, Long was easily our best small/medium forward in 2024.

I have high hope for Rogers if he can have a full pre-season.
