He shouldn't have a personal fitness coach. Nothing wrong with getting someone to help you out after the season finishes and before Misson and co sent out programs, but now we are in full swing everything should be organised by Misson.

There is such a thing as over training and doing unauthorized sessions is a risk for this. The interesting thing for Morton is how do you balance bulk against endurance. Personally I don't think he plays like a big man so I'd only want to put maximum 5 or so kg's on to give him protection and some power and keep him as a running player with extra height. He's an interesting player for the fitness guys to deal with.

I'd find it hard to believe this wouldn't be approved by Misson first.

And who's to say with a bit more bulk Morton's game style wouldn't change?

His style is largely predicated by his light frame.

If he had Jobe Watson's build, he'd go in for a lot more hard footy and contested marks.

Bear in mind that pretty well every time Cale has gone in hard it's turned out badly. Even discounting the fact that when he finally committed his body and went back into a pack he missed half a season, his first game this year saw him go in hard for a ball and get pinged for a non-existent free kick. It must be hard to get yourself up for that sort of thing when you've had so many negative results from doing so.

If you were talking about little league you might be making sense..................

Wow, there's a lot of bad tattoos in that group.

For what it's worth, I don't think there's any such thing as a good tattoo.

Reminds me of a report I received in a previous life where I was advised that a particular individual should not be allowed to do something because he was "involved in a bad murder". I often wonder how that differs from a good murder.

Interesting to read the negative sentiment to Cale working on a fairly obvious problem he has had for years.

FWIW - Stef Martin's flatmate (until last month) was telling me that he had to take it upon himself to seek help outside the club to develop his body. One presumes the club has input on this, but it's obviously not done Stef any harm and I would welcome similar physical developments in Cale (not suggesting he is capable of bulking up to the same size, nor that he needs to).

whats that got to do with tatoos rpfc :ph34r:

Nothing, or maybe everything...

No, actually, it has nothing to do with tatoos.

Please stick to footy guys. If you want to discuss other non footy matters there is the General Board.

Thanks

Getting back on track and still talking about tattoos, I note that someone has likened one of our new draftees to Dustin Martin. I hope our newbie plays like him, but doesn't disfigure his body in the same way.

Ricky Bobby has some nice ink work - obviously done by a great artist.

Jonesy wants another sleeve - but had to put it off due to our pre-season training having a lot of swimming.

(obviously effects the healing and quality, etc.)

Looking through those Facebook pics aswell, Jack Watts bulked up quite a bit.

I think Watts will really see results under Neeld.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)
