Training Richmond Pre-season Training 2018

[Woops!]

Sometimes with these kids, they don't want to look too happy coz looking like you DGAF looks cool.

Here's our 2009 batch. Kid at the front there looks miserable.

Richmond-tang clan aint nuthing ta' **** wit.

 

[Toadvine]

I'm out of the loop. Jigga?

Also, Higgins has some tree trunk legs already

I've see a few call him that on here. I'm not a fan but if the players are calling him that I'll cope.

 

[TJTIGER]

So day 1 recap:

-Bolton is fat and out of shape
-All the draftees want out, Balta to retire from AFL after 4 days in the system

Premiership defence off to a flier.

That's what I'm talkin bout?........

 

[Punt rd end]

I think his team mates at oakleigh called him that

 

[Sterge]

Looking at the photos from today higgins is so short compared to the other 4 and naish need some serious weights work wouldn't expect to see him any time soon.

One thing that I'm hoping for, is a great preseason with no setbacks for Prestia please. Love the human meatball, he was killing it towards the end of the season. Hoping it keeps that way going forward.

 

[tora tora tora]

All the other newbies are.No smiles.No tickets for Balta.

I love a sneer.
PS Does Balta look like Rance?

Should Prestia & Conca spend the preseasons close together?

 

[Charlie Pannam]

I love a sneer.

Very much looks like Rancey. First glance I thought it was him with our new recruits, which wouldn't have been that surprising considering how much the trossman loves getting his head on camera.

 

[Cotchy9]

Was just thinking, with our obsession with smalls at the moment, perhaps teams will try and kill us in the air next year? The ploy from them will probably be long to the big blokes and hope they clunk it. Just a thought

Until hr smiles we'll never know.lol

Our defence isn't short though. for example in the GF we had Astbury (195), Rance (194), Grimes (193) and Broad (192). Rance and Astbury can play capably on the 200cm forwards as well as key and taller forwards and Grimes and Broad can play on both shorts and talls. Therefore we are more than capable in the air. Our running comes from the waves out of defence and up to the forward line where we are shorter.

How we could get beaten would be if going into the forward line we don't hit up targets or when the ball does go in long we don't bring it to ground. The focus of Jack and Towno, as well as the Nank and the midfielders in Grigg and McIntosh when in the area was if they don't take the mark ensure it comes to ground and that is when the shorter guys either pick it up or put the pressure on the opposition defence.

I don't see us getting any shorter across the field with this year's selections. One thing appears certain is in order to get the ticket to play seniors one has to have the ability and willingness to go hard at the ball and the man and that to me can only be a good thing

That's a fair summation. Teams will plan for us no doubt, but pressure footy stacks up against all game plans so I think we'll be thereabouts again. Some people have even said we could be better given the belief and confidence will be sky high. It's going to come down to between the ears, are we hungry enough? If yes then we'll be right in it. If not then perhaps we just scrape into the 8 on talent of the list

 

[TigerImposter]

I love it when we draft cubs that don’t smile as it means we just picked up some nasty litttle mother xxxxers. Preseason just started and I’ve lost count of the number of premierships we’re going to win.

 

[sanaya]

Looks like he has braces, but it's obvious he's not smiling because he doesn't want to be there!

Slightly less adonis looking rance

But we arnt small in our backline ,?

 

[Nobby]

nothing a couple of preseasons can't fix lol

 

[THECHIEFTON]

On the Balta talk about him wanting to be there etc...

Everyone is different. Rance and Dusty seem like blokes who don't watch much footy either. Have people forgotten that Rance considered giving it up? Cotchin talked about it to. How trying to be the perfect footballer/captain was mentally killing him.

 

[Rich o man]

Compare the thighs. Higgins versus CCJ.

 

[GoTigers2015]

CCJ - doesn't look like he wants be there also.

 

[GoTigers2015]

Naish loves the place, having had 2 preseason at PRO previously.

 

[GoTigers2015]

Pushing for round one selection

 

[GoTigers2015]
