No Cale Morton still holds that title!

I reckon Lucas Cook was way worse than Cale Morton.

It's great to see our players doing a little extra before the official start to pre-season.  Listening to the speeches at the B&F it sounded like this is the standard they are hoping to set with our squad.  Don't just do the official training sessions, go out and work on your own as well. 

Of course, if they want the players to do more than the official work-outs and training sessions, they could just add more to the official workload rather than hinting that they want more but not outright saying so.  Maybe they have limits imposed by the AFL on how much they can require of the players? 

This is industry standard for successful teams.

Luke Hodge was just on SEN, said that after their first premiership they celebrated for 6 weeks, but it should've only been 3.  They missed the finals the following year.  But that's 3 weeks for winning a flag.

I wonder how many of our blokes downed tools for 2+ weeks this preseason.  I'm all for having a spell, but it's what you do in that spell that can take you from being good to being great.

Well let's get back on the right track. I haven't seen much in Dion yet but he has time to develop under our better run FD and stronger list.

Dion's new nickname then - Warwick.  Had a few hits...

A common thread of successful athletes at the national and international level is that they are self starters and self motivated and they keep themselves in good shape the whole year, they don't go on benders out of season and do not get out of shape.  Their self discipline applies to their physical condition and what they eat and drink.

I hope you are right but to be honest I am sceptical , have yet to see anything that suggests an AFL talent.

They are told to rest the body for a couple of weeks and then back into it

Harmes Trac and Dom Tyson have been in the US but couple of pics of training sessions over there

Gee OD, you are certainly living up to your moniker lately

DJ is a young kid , we have time to develop them properly now, he is really good at pressure and tackling, his goal kicking was letting him down, so that is one area he is working on, spoke to him

Jeff's set shot kicking was getting ropey as well coz he was over thinking it, I asked, he went back to a simpler set up and it improved last year I am sure he can help DJ is this area

This is the exciting bit for me, we will add 4 more, but we have only scratched the surface on the talent our young players have, some may turn out to be busts, but given time who knows?

Harmes and ANB come to mind as 2 who were considered 'list cloggers' but with confidence, proper development and game time turned into solid AFL players and still early 20's

Nice to hear Saty I hope you are right I have no desire to see anyone fail.

Just giving my opinion from what I have seen.

PS I have never used the words "list cloggers" and yes I know you were not saying I had. It is offensive just like the word "Spud"

That's right, rest the body, and it needs resting.  But it's the extent that some rest the liver, that's the point Hodge was talking about.
