Driven blokes like T Mac and Viney have plenty of mates now. 

good to see everyone is fit and doesn’t need time off legs. 

I like the idea, maintain fitness rather than have to get it back. Train hard now and have a good break over Xmas 

im expecting a more impressive H&A season next year. With some smashings 

Happy to keep the smashings for the finals.

I thought the 2021 H&A was very impressive.

I'm inclined to agree, Jontee (and others) but I realise I'm seeing it from the perspective of an old fart whose work life was generally one of obligation. It's entirely likely the boys are doing what youngsters, used to being very fit, would be doing anyway while 'on holiday' (at least when the tempting alternative of 'seeing the world' is off the agenda!)

The training away from the club thing is to do with the AFLPA contracts and the stipulation that they have a mandated time away from their employer.

So, contractually speaking, what you’re actually looking at in the video is ‘The Artist Formally Known as Petracca’.

This was his second goal, I think?

They both laugh and scull another beer.

JDGBIL: My turn.

He takes the cattle prod and holds it to JDG's genitals. There is a loud CRACK.

I dont call a day out against Footiscray a holiday.

Nor training in the local park and getting harassed by the fans.

They need a complete break from footy....

I wonder if there's a bit of them still coming down off the whole month of Septemeber and GF.  And not going cold turkey emotionally, just a few catch ups and reminisce?

Few options in Melb lockdown so why not meet somewhere familiar and have a few laughs.

[Supreme_Demon 3,749]

I don't mind the Demons players training while on holidays.

 

They are athletes and professional AFL players that get paid alot more than the average person on the street. Plus routine is definitely important to maintain.

 

All, I ask is that they have a bit of extra time off during the Christmas break to mentally recharge and not think about football for a while.

 

Then come back happy and hungrier than ever to win more Premierships! It's time for a new Demons Dynasty!

There would hardly be an Olympic gold medalist that didn't train on Xmas day.

Aren’t we over this chit of training too hard or not? We had a dream run this season, if Selwyn and co and the players have learnt anything from Darren B then it shouldn’t be in anyone’s mind to be nervous about a few run arounds.

Um I am not talking about stopping training....I am talking about having a holiday. Different environment, relaxed but keeping fit.

Admittedly covid makes that hard.

Sent to me by my brother-in-law who received it from a friend who runs at that park most mornings.

Everybody's different. Some will need a longer break than others, either to allow for physical recovery or a mental recharge. Hopefully, those that need a bit longer don't feel compelled to cut short their allowable break.

Btw in the 10 sec snippet of Oliver, he marked freely overhead on a highball. Hopefully no shoulder surgery this off-season?

I believe that is the case, which is great news for Clarry and the MFC.

BTW, shouldn't your name be ademonski?
