Sorrento

Dees set for three-day Sorrento camp

[Mickey 4,752]

One thing I like about this, and it's only a small thing, is the way Mahoney says that this is what's right for us. Not "Hey, everyone is doing altitude camps, let's do that as well!" But doing what works for us.

What's cheap is actually what you mean

[daisycutter 29,797]

Let's be honest though MO, the piggy bank is empty so it is right for us ipso facto

We are not following everyone else, because you don't need to go to the states for high altitude training, the cats do high altitude in australia, does the same thing and at the fraction of the price, anyway the kanga have a millions more debt, we have more assets then debt, why waste money and be sheep, the two most top teams since 2007 to last year have never gone to US, 6 premierships have been won by teams that dont go there to only one, now tell me what works better? Collingwood win one and everyone thinks they are rigfeht, even they have stopped going.

Altitude training is a waste of time, energy and money.

Glad we are going to Sorrento.

Surely what matters most is what is done and how it is done not where it is done. The Magpies took up going to the US really as a bit of one upmanship, because they could. No evidence, according to physiologists who have written on the subject that there is any sustained benefit from altitude training. It is OK if you are preparing for an event or a series of events at altitude, but otherwise it is mainly hype.

I'd just like us to train well and then play well.

Sorrento, Bacchus Marsh or Townsville...... wherever, just do it well.

This isn't really a 'pre-season camp' in the spirit of what that means to an AFL footballer.

It's two days of workshops and a theoretical run through of the gameplan.

It's a Year 8 camp mixed with a corporate get-together.

That would be right. They're back home on Wednesday afternoon soon they'll be back in the same time some of those other clubs take just to travel to Arizona or wherever.

I'll tell you what works, forget the altitude training and just keep possession of the ball.

While I agree to some extent, I still don't see something like Arizona as a Roos' way of doing things. Nor Darwin.

[Apocalypse XXXI 243]

My memory could be failing me but didn't the team head off in the same direction earlier this year after we were flogged by Port Adelaide and Essendon?

[Redbeard 497]

Didn't we win altitude training with that video competition? Has it been raffled off to fund the footy trip or something?

Altitude training is good.......................but only for running in thin air.

Heat training is good...........................but only if you do it for a long time.

[Flying Cloud 152]

Is only 40 Km from where Geelong train!

Wait until Roos gets them out on the put-put golf course... the boys won't know what's hit them!!

Glad we are going to Sorrento.

Maybe we can go on to Portsea and tackle those sand dunes ala Herb Eliott and Percy Cerutty. Worked for Herb!

Knowing our luck, they'll go for a swim off Cheviot beach and disappear, Harold Holt style.

Well, at least they too might get a swimming pool named in their honor if that happens.
