Fine by me. Here, just sign me over the film rights.

Sauna, bit too Scandinavian for me, took the opportunity to do some more day shifts for the week they are away

I am kept up to date though

Billy has really bulked up during his rehab.

This guy has got to play on the wing. Just like his dad. It would be like 'insider trading' on the way to multiple goals. I'd suspect his dad would teach him a trick or two along the way - how to make 40metres to get within range ...

I miss Kenty's playing style already. Hope he has a good year.

He has a Goodyear already, around the waist in that photo.

Yeah he'll be missed IMO.

But St Kilda offered him a multi year contract so we can't begrudge him of that.

Your not wrong. They stuffed up big time last year and many of us QLanders (most ex Vics) voiced our dissatisfaction to the club. 3 Generations of this family will be there Saturday.

A water birth?

Thanks for this, quite interesting. There’s a longer video on the MFC site which goes into a bit more depth about it with Ben Matthews having a bit of a chat. 

Is it me or does it seem there’s a lot more content from the club this year as opposed to last from Maroochydore?

I was actually thinking the opposite. When he was with us I thought he seemed to be carrying a bit too much weight around the midriff. But this photo suggests he's been working hard and looks to me to be fitter than I've ever seen him. I, too, hope he can have a great career from hereon. And should that happen and people on here say we should never have let him go...it doesn't mean he would have been just as successful if he'd stayed. The new environment, for whatever reason, might have been just the spark he needed to get the best out of himself. 

Check the instagram stories. Boys are boxing each other body shots only. Viney vs Jones, would pay paper view for that

Big wave surfers have to hold their breath for a long time if they come unstuck and get pummeled by more than 30,000 tonnes of water. I'm guessing this is the gist of what Visser and the coaches are trying to impart on the players - when you're not in control, you need to remain calm and keep focused by facing whatever fear it is your facing so you can recover from it and ultimately survive (win).

I've just finished reading What doesn't kill us from the author Scott Carney which is essentially a book about Wim Hof and how Carney wanted to prove Hof was a fraud and just another false prophet. Through his investigation of Hof, Carney traveled the globe meeting fitness guru's and researching many other alternative training methods that athletes utilise to try and eek out that extra tenth of a second that might mean the difference between winning and coming third in a 100 metre sprint for example.

Part of that investigation took him to big wave surfer Laird Hamilton's training pool in California. Some of the techniques he is researching and applying are insane but having real impact on individual performance. I won't spoil any of the book because I really recommend the read for not only its information but because it's actually a bloody enjoyable book to read. I'm halfway through it on the second read now.

Anyway, here's a link to Hamilton's website Laird Hamilton which may help explain a bit more about what the club may be doing along with Visser to look for that little advantage when you're in need of it..

I just hope I haven't gone off on a tangent here.

Pretty sure I saw Fritta Vs The Goose at one stage! Fritta holding his own, but maybe because Preussy didn't want to kill him

Hmm ,so this is the Visser MFC version of this. Not for the faint hearted. Gives me the heebies just looking at it. Would have thought Visser could at least chucked them off a building or something (with a rope tied on) to give them a chance to overcome fear. Or better still chuck them off one of these monsters.  Ollie Wines injury would be a scratch.

Contrary to popular sentiment, I'll put my hand up here and say I don't give a [censored] about Dean Kent's career from hereon in.

interesting.

These days the mind body connection is a well established theory regarding physical and mental health. Mind control is a term we hear a lot about. I'm a firm believer in how the power of the mind or mind control can prevent or at least influence physical health and at the same time have a beneficial effect on mental health. Meditation, mindfulness, yoga, tai chi all focus on mind control. The essential component of mind control or whatever you want to call it is proper breathing technique or slowing down the breath using the diaphragm. 

As well as the recreational benefits, many involved in sport are using these techniques to improve performance. To stay calm and focussed and to improve energy levels. Swimming naturally does it, but increasingly cyclists and others sports are going down this path. Yoga is increasingly popular not just for flexibility but also for mind control/breathing. You can't improve at yoga without controlling your breath.

Thats a absolute monster isnt it !...Portugal?? Is that a drone flying in the foreground or a bird? Would be some good drone shots there.

I hope the pool is well chlorinated
