[Satyriconhome 10,879]

Training is on today Wednesday and it's bloody freezing    pics tomorrow or late tonight

Lots of ball movement by hand and foot again

Lever made an appearance just knocking off the rust

May and Jetta again out 'rehabbing'

Why is May in "rehab"? Is it because as a senior player he isn't meant to be in "full" training yet or is there some other issue?

Send some of that cold weather up here to Brissie Saty. Bloody hot, windy and smokey.

Both he, Nev and Nietschke participated in some of the drills, so rehab is just a word

With the soft tissue injuries he had last season I am glad he is building up slowly, although at the end of the session he was doing 50 metre repeat sprints flat out

Looks in good nick.

[Lucifers Hero 40,365]

In the video he looks exhausted after a 30 sec jog...  Looks dejected: on haunches, head on hand, looks up, grimaces, head in hands...

Probably a PTSD flashback to last season.

But he didn’t spew, so he’s not training hard enough.  Who else wants to write to the club and demand more?

Hopefully it was the end of 100 x 30 sec.

Looks leaner than last year. That will do me. If he remains uninjured all year that's a win showed in the few games he played how good he can be for us

I'm happy he's out there training and moving well, I don't care if he's still a long way from peak fitness as long as his base is good enough to get through the summer healthy, but geez our media team know how to make our players look bad.

[hemingway 7,631]

Just what you would expect to see, working hard and showing fatigue. 

And running freely.

Agreed.  I thought it was an odd video to put on line.  It only raises doubts, especially after last year's exaggerated claims about his fitness on start of pre-season.  Would have preferred a video of the repeat 50m sprints, flat out, as Saty described.

I'm amused by the anxiety demonstrated by quite a few posters on May's general condition. He's here, he's training, he looks to be in reasonable nick. Some blokes put on a few kg's easier than others (eg Buddy... going back further "Wilson" Pickett). Its only injury that I worry about when it comes to blokes who have already had significant AFL careers. On track for a very good season is Mr May!

The video guy was a 'late' arrival, that is May at the end of 100 minute training session

It's not enough.

I want to see him repeat sprinting through quicksand with a tractor tyre under each arm while singing Grand Old Flag in E minor.

AFL have just posted an article about him. He’s gone full “Namaste” and incorporated Pilates and yoga into his pre-season. Which is a big step up from pizza n’ pints. Seems very determined to get himself right.

sounds like Dusty did. I expect him to win a brownlow, a premiership and attempt to stab someone with a chopstick.

I hope that is not the result of one 50.

He does look leaner.

[Pulp Fritschon 764]

From that video May is looking good. Def leaner. Good signs. 

Gee I hope he can get through 22+ games this year. The media are all over him waiting/hoping for any little failure.

All the best Maysie. Prove your worth. Due some luck. Can play.

I liked the way he seemed to glide along at a fair pace for the sustained distance.

There appeared to be no jarring or heavy compression.

While he did seem fatigued that wasn't too bad for a training run. It was probably more sustained than most reality chases,and it's better that he builds up the repetitions with shorter recovery periods as we get closer to game time.

Nice work for a big unit.

[Satyriconhome 10,879]

I'll post some pics of Mr May doing the work previous to the video, probably tomorrow. 

[Deebacle 75]

Well really he isn't required to be there until next week, so looks pretty good when you consider it was at the end of the session like the report said. He will be a big asset 2020.
