PRESEASON TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

[picket fence 18,190]

In view of the EXTREME HEAT conditions, I sincerely hope NO TRAINING!

[Whispering_Jack 31,368]

The days with modern scientific coaching methods, the coaches will keep the players well hydrated and they will most certainly train tomorrow.

Imagine how we would look if we called off training and all of the other clubs trained? The media and supporters of other clubs would have a field day.

I'd imagine an early morning start to beat the heat? 

[DiscoStu17 877]

Crikey! This is a bit of an early start even if it is a bit warm.

Yeah nah. Don’t think that will happen. 
I swear I saw a couple players melt last year on one of the hotter days. 
Asked somebody about it, but they said it was sublime.

I’m intending to come to training today with my lad - has there been a change of time announced?

[Ghostwriter 5,487]

I was told there’s no change to start time today, nor to intensity or length of the session. Peter, the head physio said “we play in all conditions, we train in all conditions.”

Anyways as I type this it’s starting to rain here in Snorbs (the stabbing capital of Victoria) so it might not be as bad as forecast. 🤷‍♀️

In the past they’ve cancelled sessions due to extreme heat and even due to heavy rain. But that’s not the case now. I’d say only hail or lightning would effect a cancellation nowadays.

Only in Melbz… forecast top of 42 yet still need to pack a brolly 😅

Happy for a 8.00-10.30 or so session😎 By the way Ghostwriter, Clarry will look like your avatar with the amount of sunscreen he will require!

I just did a run and a gym session and I'm much older, fatter and less fit than those guys, I think they will be fine!

I’m not worried about Clarrie… he’s very diligent with applying and reapplying sunscreen. It’s Spaz I worry about because while he isn’t mayonnaise on Wonder White like me and Clarrie, he only applies sunscreen to the top of his ears, and nowhere else. 😭

Tracc is the most sensible in this regard: he’s the only one who wears one of those foreign legion hats.

Wheels told me he took Ricky camping and fishing on Saturday. Ricky had never done either before. There were other boys on the little overnight camping thing. As Wheels put it… the “brother boys” went and they had a great time. 

[Ghostwriter 5,487]

Spargz is training with the main group  🥳

 

[Ghostwriter 5,487]

Everyone’s here, except for Mitch Hardie.

Shane isn’t here either.

McAdam needs to be doing every session I would have thought if he is going to be best 22 in R1
