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).

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
