Riley JKH Salem and few others ought benefit from a hopefully uninterrupted preseason and come out hitting the ground running (hard) in 2015. Should have lots of new friends as well

The preseason.

The panacea to all our problems? I hope so....

No, arrived at Melb with broken leg.

Most of our team play as if they have broken legs.

Sneaking suspicion the club hasnt seen a preseason the likes of the one coming.

Just call it a vibe !!

Thanks guys for the updates.

Just a fadeout or not up to it ?

Defence was under a lot of pressure in last qtr. It would take us 3-4 kicks to get up to the wing, then a turnover and Coburg would run and bomb it long into their goals with the breeze. The fact we kept turning it over says we didn't have the necessary skills and class to work it all the way up to our forward line, despite the number of AFL players on the field. They are just playing to meet mimimum standards rather than to raise the standard.

At the end I felt a bit like after the GWS game. Just empty. It was a very different type of game , but same outcome.

Just so sick of following hopeless losing teams.

We're going to be injury ravaged round one next year, as noted above I think this preseason is going to sort the men from the boys. I wouldn't be planning any boozy holidays if I were in the team.

Thanks for the updates.

Feel like Misson is going to continue doing preseason like he has his whole career, won't be much different to last preseason or the one before really.

Are you saying that the house is in very real danger of coming down?

No, just the 'serenity' some seem to enjoy might change !!

Welcome to planet Earth. We are your friends. Did you bring any good footballers with you in your spaceship?

Hard work in order to build up running fitness and also multiple changes to our list. Kinda sounds like the last few seasons. The one thing I do know that I have heard Roos is against doing massive work on the Watt bike and much more simulation running. But will be very similar to last year.

I think the match play simulation drills will be most vital and effectively enforcing players to do that two way running, especially our key forwards.

How much did we spend on the Watt bikes and is Craig a shareholder???

Possibly explains the purchase and use of them

Craig has been a huge fan of bike training for some time, but I recall one of the first things Sanderson sorted when he took over was to sell those Watt bikes...

I remember reading that. Pretty sure Roos did much the same this pre season.

We should sell ours, could well fund a big recruit...

I think Craig did some work with Australian Cycle team way before he took over as coach as Adelaide? ?

Hell yeah. Don't lift weights on a footy field either, should be doing bench press with footballs. Really heavy ones.

They're good as part of a cross training program and injury management but I think Craig seemed to really focus on this kind of thing too much.

Not a waste of time totally but yep agree they don't ride 'em on the ground so surely you would have to think about getting more miles in the legs in a game type situation which seems to be the Roos approach.

How else are players with leg or back injuries going to stay fit genius?

Don't use any of these things on the footy field either:

-Weights

-Pools

-Monitored diets

-Balance balls

-Ice baths

Quick, better stop using all of them....

Seriously though, you're the worst poster here, by a long way.
