2024 Off Season Tracking

Moderators, purge if this is duplication I couldn’t find the appropriate thread!

Any updates on how players are tracking over the off season? Have they gone to the Exos camp in Arizona yet?

Any photos or coverage of the leaders trip to the USA (Scott, Merrett and Mc Grath)?

It would be interesting to see how the club / players are preparing for the pre season.

Not really interesting in marriage proposal photos, more relating to the off season training…

I’d have thought the players going on the camp in USA would be there and we’d be getting snippets from other stalkers like last year!

Surely 20 years into oblivion we are past getting sucked into this sort of thing as fans? Or even caring.

We don’t want to hear empty promises or to hear how hard they are allegedly working. Every club is working hard. It’s your job you swines.

Just perform during the season and if you’re still playing good footy after July then we’ll take some notice.

Nah, never. Still good to see what’s going on with their preparation. I have no doubt this USA camp is a good thing and is representative of the shift in standards and professionalism we’re wanting to see. Yes, results on field not there yet, but that’s not because of the Exos fitness regime.

Other clubs and players have taken Essendon’s lead and are also pursuing a USA style fitness program. Eg: Nick Daicos and the Hawks.

Take the little wins and signs of progress where we can.

Come on. This stuff has been going on since the early 00’s.

Hopefully somebody has a “Jobe-like” preseason.

Do you have to ■■■■ on every thread you’re not interested in? It’s just as easy to not post and let others get into it if they want, right?

The off season Arizona style training camp was started by Collingwood I think about 15 years ago but clubs stopped doing it for 6/7 years until recently. These elite outsourced camps have come back on the agenda in a more prominent way the last 24 months.

Or just post in the somethings seriously wrong catch all thread!

Fair enough. I’m so incredibly jaded by this club and all the false dawns and never knowing what following a good club feels like in my adult life. But yeah you’re right, probably serves no purpose lamenting that so often when others are still keen.

Go for your lives.

Sometimes it’s important to take some time off the footy discussion in the off-season.

We don’t disagree with you. We’re all jaded. But a little positivity and latest updates isnt a bad thing…

We’re all in the same boat and choose to express differently but for mine the constant negativity on here really wouldn’t be doing favours to others that are struggling with ACTUAL problems in real life - that’s why I think it gets a bit over the top when it’s just a footy club sometimes

Is Jake stringer borderline FLYING?

Jake is gonna win a flag this year.

Bit late for him to win a flag this year
