Re: Training
Does anyone there actually practice kicking goals, at all, ever? Surely kicking goals wins you matches?tony74 wrote:You can be assured, never again.magnifisaint wrote:The last time you gave us one these reports we got flogged.

Re: Training
First 15 min and last 20 min of every session. And in match simulation when it happens- kick the goal.

Re: Training
Disappointing yep. But it's probably realistic. Are we really a top 8 team yet?
Yet?
I think the lessons learnt tonight will be very valuable.

Re: Training
Yes agreed Tony - I think deep down we all know we weren't quite ready for top 8 but allowed ourselves to dream a little - and having that dreamed killed off hurts.tony74 wrote:Disappointing yep. But it's probably realistic. Are we really a top 8 team yet?

Put Paddy back in the team , Carlisle in defence, and another preseason into our young mids and we will look like a better team.

We've learnt many lessons tonight (and clearly Brucey walked past the wrong black cat so far as the men in green go) but I was happy we didn't drop our heads and kept on cracking in there to the end, and some of the kids like Gresh and Blacres and DMac really turned up to play.
I don't know how we learn to kick straight under pressure but I guess every game like must help. Hard lesson to cop but we will get there.
Had a couple of them nailed the early ones anything could have happened and the kids will learn from that.
Always loyal

Re: Training
Yep agree with you. At the start of the year if you'd said we'd be considering playing a final I'd have taken that. We still have four games to go with three of them very winnable. We could finish 12-10 which would be a huge improvement. Most important is the improvement in the young fellas and the nucleus of the team going forward getting games together and getting the taste of winning.tony74 wrote:Disappointing yep.

Re: Training
So what ur saying is that because you don't think we're a top 8 side we didn't deserve to win. It's like saying did North deserve to win 10 in a row?tony74 wrote:Disappointing yep. But it's probably realistic. Are we really a top 8 team yet?

It's got nothing to do with ladder positions.

Re: Training
Don't stop the reports please tony.
20 minutes set shot practice sounds very very little. A lot of old former players have been saying they used to kick 100s and thats the only way to get good at it.

Re: Training
Obviously we're not a top eight team yet because we're 10th but that doesn't mean to say we won't be if we win the rest of our games. I would be mightily peed off if tonight's result meant we just played out the rest of the season without trying or caring about the results.tony74 wrote:Disappointing yep.

Nowadays, fitness staff discourage long kicking because they think it damages (by causing scar tissue) the quadriceps muscle. The big muscle at the front of the thigh.

Re: Training
look back at the size of footballers legs and particularly quads. They used to be huge. Not so much anymore, is that cos they have to run more, I'm not sure.WellardSaint wrote:The Chief Jason Dunstall used to practice for ages after training.saint-stu wrote:Don't stop the reports please tony.

Re: Training
Okay thanks for that tony74 but now I have to ask - how many sessions do they have during a typical week?tony74 wrote:First 15 min and last 20 min of every session. And in match simulation when it happens- kick the goal.
Someone on here equated it to a golfer practicing putting. 15 minutes and 20 minutes in a few sessions a week. If a professional golfer only practiced that much I don't think they would be a professional for long.

You're not going to improve if you practice the wrong things. Try smarter, not harder. It's down to biomechanics and technique, so they need expert guidance.Jacks Back wrote:Okay thanks for that tony74 but now I have to ask - how many sessions do they have during a typical week?tony74 wrote:First 15 min and last 20 min of every session.

Re: Training
and who's an expert
just someone who's a great kick... as some would lead you to believe
there is little expertise in this area... and imo a lot of it is mental
