Anyway, sounds like something that should be done during the pre-season, not during the season proper.
I say hang doing it at all, bar maybe a roo type of situation. I mean there is no conceivable reason to go experimenting. What was wrong with what we were doing last year?
Collingwood have been doing it pre season for the last few years. AND Im here to tell ya if they win the flag this year, it wont have absolutely anything to do with the fact they went to florida pre season and everything to do with the fact they are playing great footy at the right time.
Damn, too many nerdy poindexters involved in footy these days who think that because they studied dome fanciful airy fairy bulls*** at "uni" they can mess with WORKING formula;s that have stood the test of time for 150 years.
Yeah yeah I hear you say, but other teams improve and we must find ways to improve and combat this. Pffft! Look at whats NOT working or what could work BETTER, not what is humming along nicely. I.E - training like we did last year, the year before that....and repeat.
