Training for DRAFT PICKS!!!!
- Thread starter caesar
- Start date
You’d think the egg will be relisted given his selection in the game tomorrow night. I am a bit torn. Young Greene looks good.
Ok be interesting who takes Lynches spot for the game .. I was surprised we didn't take a tall forward in the recent draft or invited a tall forward for one of the vacant spots . I guess the thinking is that Choi , Biggie or CJ would be JRs eventual replacement ?
Maybe we are eyeing one off from another club.
Another genuine key back would be welcome also.
Miller and garth not exactly inspiring options at this point of time.
Apparently there's a VFL praccy match on fri so i am guessing it'll work back from there. With Rd 1 the following week we may have our last serious session on wednesday? Only a guess.

Next week being a Thursday night game I'd say training would be:
Last main session: Tuesday 16/03
Captains Run: Wednesday 17/03, (not a serious session just freshening up and blowing a few cobwebs out).
This Week with VFL practice game at 5pm Friday it's hard to say:
Might walk past tomorrow morning to see if the boys have been given the long weekend off too if they have i'll make assumptions from there.
Players got the jump on me this morning and must have started training early, saw the last 30 minutes so can't vouch for the accuracy of player attendance record.
No sign when I got there of:
Lambo
Cotch
Grimes
Kamdyn
**Note: JR8 was just heading inside as I arrived so maybe players above had already left?
In good news Lynch and Prestia training with main group.
Players were giving Bachar a good natured rev up as he progressed to sprinting for the 1st time.
At the end a few of the boys were mucking around kicking torps, Samson Ryan connected with the only two he attempted each going well over 50.
On Samson he does a hell of a lot of set goal kicking and is a pretty reliable kick.
**Conundrum: So Samson needs to improve his endurance and also put on weight/size, which is more important? I don't see him doing much lap running to increase the former, does that mean they are feeding him steak and pasta and putting him in the gym?
Is it possible to work on maximizing both simultaneously?, probably not.
PS. No sign of Green or Galluci today but Eggs was there.

I drove past at about 9, wasn't even thinking footy, and then Soldo's 'mo caught the corner of my eye as he retrieved a ball near the fence. Mo has put on size and strength and will be announced as the final list spot today. Bachar was nearby and there was a large mob doing some warmups in the centre.
They usually start at 9:30, i got their 9:45am today so based on above I saw less than half the session.
They should get him to move in with me.
I can guarantee that he wouldn’t be doing too much and a Monty to put on heaps of weight.
It’s very difficult to work on both at the same time. Different energy systems, physical demands etc..what has been proven is it takes a long time to build proficiency in the gym, learning how to squat, deadlift etc these are learned skills for an athlete. I imagine he is a beginner in this area.
running can be improved on a 4-6 week program, far easier.
But what is also proven is increase in gym strength translates across to running performance. Just a guess but I reckon they are focusing on his gym proficiency and using normal training to build his running capacity.
