No open training this week or last week.

We must have something really exciting to unveil in round 1, pity the Swans.

Con Gorozidis · Mon 22 Mar 2010 4:37pm

Yep. Word is we have been working on the "Magnum" all summer. We wont use it on match days until it is perfected. But if it is it will revolutionise the game. Even more so than the "Blue Steel Strangle" and the "Forward Press" of the 2009 Winter Catalogue.

I like to think that they are perfecting their edge for 2010...

vacuous space · Mon 22 Mar 2010 5:43pm

I'm hoping for a revolutionary new style of skipping in the pre-game warmup.

We'll need something to counter BBB this season... he's so hot right now.

I Recon , (make that hoping.), he may even "counter himself " and save other teams the trouble before too far into the season....know what I mean??

Are you suggesting we'll be using cold steel?

I'd like to see some form of improved "Frontal Pressure"... maybe "Reverse Circular Frontal Pressure" or maybe even something that has more words.

jonesy · Post: # 895587Post **jonesy** » Tue 23 Mar 2010 12:01am

I'd just like to see our small forwards who never miss goals,kick them when it matters

How does "Nett Total Scoreboard Advantage" sound, Battye?

or in other words, the team with the highest score wins the game

Is that 1 knee recon? I don't think he would survive a recon.

Due to popular demand, they're bringing back the yellow jumper. They've been training in it to acquaint themselves. Don't tell anyone.

Yeah I'm sick of hearing crap from those dere-lict bulldogs supporters.

"No open training this week or last week.

Well I drove down Linton Street this arvo and guess what? There was a full scale practice match in progress between the Lemons and the Limes. Not sure who was winning.

The club obviously has plenty of money as they employed at least half a dozen security guards to make sure you couldn't watch even from the street.

I didn't stop, but if I had I would have tested their authority to stop me watching through the fence. Talk about overkill.

I doubt it's to keep the likes of yourself out Bernard

Remember some time ago camera crews were found to be climbing scaffolding in the housing development opposite Waverley to film the Hawks training.

I am quite excited now, it builds the anticipation....bring on Round one!

Read today in the Herald Sun that the Demons are accusing the Hawks of filming our training sessions. We have them worried!

Sounds like a few tweaks to the gameplan are being worked on....and/or some positional moves.

borderbarry · Wed 24 Mar 2010 2:25pm

I hope its both, the game plan tweaked, and positional changes.

st_Trav_ofWA · Wed 24 Mar 2010 3:33pm

ummm this is what pro Footy is about ...you should try and get a peek at the eagles training its easier to get into the white house

Bernard Shakey · Wed 24 Mar 2010 3:37pm

North have no hope, Arden Street is wide open now.

Jonesy said "I'd just like to see our small forwards who never miss goals,kick them when it matters".

Spot on ! I remember the geelong mantra throughout the game was calm -calm - just keep calm (Particularly from Harley to his team mates).
When our players had their shots at goal it often looked like a testosterum rush was guiding the ball.

I hope our goal kickers learn from that game.

GO SAINTS!

Now that we've done frontal pressure how about backward suction?

Maybe they could unlock the cage and let the beast out.

Small forwards must be mentally ready
