Training For Redemption in 2022
- Thread starter caesar
- Start date
On Sydney, he may have been told based on his GPS/HR data to cruise through sets 4/5 and use as a recovery for rest of the session. I assume he hits his thresholds quicker than others and if they blow him up in the running he will be useless for the ball drills. I also base this on him doing extra runs at end of session. High quality first, volume 2nd. Of course I could be wrong but it makes sense to me.
Thanks for the reports guys, much appreciated. From the photos and the commentary I'm thinking maybe there's positives than negatives around Syd's presentation and effort at the minute. I suspect how he comes back from the Christmas break will tell us a lot.
Steve Morris was doing the shuttles with the team. The focus was very much on RCD and Hugo. They switched RCD from the middle of the group to run with (and keep up with) Broady. I clearly heard Steve call that out. They did not push Sydney. The dynamics in the group are fun to watch. To my eye there seems to be a level of some senior guys taking some of the younger guys under their wing and pushing them through some of the exercises. Definitely seemed that way with Shorty and Dow and how Nathan was being asked to drive Hugo and Riley.
Lambo and Broady are two of the clubs elite athletes when it comes to running so its good to see them setting the standard and putting the kids through their paces and showing them what its all about when neither of them need to be there and could be enjoying the rest period.
Shows some good signs re intent around the group.
JR8, GOAT, Grimey, Sheds, and Cotchy can keep their feet up for a bit longer.
Like me even at my athletic zenith, Id try but endurance running was not for me.
I couldn't run endurance for anything I was always in the last 5 stragglers when it cam to anything over sprints.
Middle distance weak as pisss, long distance extremely extremely poor.
BUT !!
I was as fast twitch as it got, could sprint fast smashed everyone in sprints, high jumping and agility, reaction hand eye I was ace (hence I always played my footy as a Key Defender.
Every time I got thrown in the ruck due to my height I was cooked in no time at all.
No endurance whatsoever, it wasn't in my make up I was definitely a more explosive type physically.

Shows how selfless these guys are & how great out culture is, these guys are essentially helping guys who can take their spots...
eating his turkey this year without being manacled,
will be a significantly better preparation.
stackman's gonna go AA in 2022
Not at the late night Kebab place I hope.
On Stack's fitness, the reality is a kid who hasnt done the work as a teenager, then missed last pre-season is going to take time to catch up to the rest.
These guys would have a huge burning in the guts ( I’m talking dodgy vindaloo burning) after last years poor result , proud proud bunch who want their *smile* title back
your mixing your curry metaphors Mr Bright. A decent chillie con-carne or a Thai green curry can burn the gut but a vindaloo cooked correctly tends to burns when you are sitting on the royal chamber
See that’s where you’ve gone wrong yott, cooked correctlyyour mixing your curry metaphors Mr Bright. A decent chillie con-carne or a Thai green curry can burn the gut but a vindaloo cooked correctly tends to burns when you are sitting on the royal chamber
.Actually funny story last week I bought a very nice piece of meat and put it in the air fryer to cook , so when I pulled it out it was a perfect pink in the middle , so I applied some Mint jelly ,sat down and started to eat the “ lamb” couple of bites in that little bell in my head went ding!! , I quickly went to the bin checked the packet … *smile* it was pork not lamb
Training today and the balls came out to play:
Only addition today to training group was Caddy.
Biggie out there trained fully and well.
Will Martyn absent today.
Dow & Graham not with main group but doing Rehab? management program?, plenty of laps.
Liveliest Parker
RCD & Syd looking super with ball in hand and delivery.
Liking Sampson today, some super impressive below the knees work for a bean stalk.
Ross solid.
Missing targets were Junior and Cumberland, some butchered passes between the two of them.
Nank and Lynch great shape in fact I am calling Nank best ever shape.
At the end of session Bakes Cumberland Riley Syd MRJ Mansell Aarts in a group ran 3 laps Bakes was in there as the pacesetter, anyway Riley and Bakes finished a fair way ahead of the rest and a long way ahead of some. Riley busting a gut with Bakes yelling out let's go let's go, Riley really impressing.
That's the wrap for the week, hopefully some new recruits to run the eye over next week.
