Training

[caesar]

Hope you did the right @caesar and used a device like this when you caught up with Fly.... all precautions must be taken to keep PRE safe!

That' what the wire fence is for.

Ok my distances may be out slightly but you get the drift, Stackman finished 3/4 lap behind Georgie, and no they all ran the same distance as they stopped after 3 laps except Stack who expired 30 metres before official finish line.
So doing my numbers again, what is the circumference of PRO about 450m?, 3/4 of a lap behind Georgie is about 337.5m, my other distances were probably similarly out

Well, that's the length of the Caulfield straight over a sprint race distance. With FF in the form guide too.

Bloody hell Stacky.

 

[craig]

He obviously struggles a little outside of direct control but he'll be up and running I'm sure, and the staff will get up him.

Training back in the group will get him switched back on, no stress yet, he'll be ok when the ball is bounced

Focus and structure is important for the lad..

Bloody hell Stacky.

Keep in mind though that Stacky has only had two pre-seasons so far to build his fitness and stamina base so all is not lost.

Sounds like he skipped the second pre-season

Great stuff Caesar. Good to see that you're back on the horse

Regarding what Fly said about all of the coaches being retained (which is awesome by the way), isn't the new reduced soft cap going to affect our ability to retain those coaches?

Don't think clubs know exactly what the REDUCED soft cap will be yet and that comes into effect next year and then it will be a case of shuffling the magnets and the dollars and deciding where our priorities within the football dept lie

A lot of the indigenous guys struggle to run for running sake and do much better when a footy is involved, but having said that it is a major concern if a player can't finish a 1200 metre run at that pace.

Huge concerns

 

[eZyT]

Stackman collapsed 30 meters before the finish line a further 250 metres behind.

Look when balls are out Stacky looking fine, but word on the street was he was less than dedicated in lockdown.

Huge concerns

Winx never, ever won a trial.

im about as concerned about Stackman as I am about the feathers down the bottom of my doona

he probably just had a couple of zinger burgers in the saddlebags

He ain’t no Winx
Bit of “ Tom Melbourne “ at the moment , although the maiden at Ballarat tomorrow is where he might end up ‍

Winx never, ever needed JR8 running alongside her for encouragement.

Stackman has never had to eat oaten chaff

Bit of “ Tom Melbourne “ at the moment ,

I think you're confusing him with Tom Scully?

Monique would be pleased, then.

No Tom Melbourne. The horse that promised the world , but didn’t deliver

 

[tigermike]

I was thinking of a similar association, perhaps Monique has been a distraction during 'lockdown'? In his first pre-season with us he was quite unfit and became famous for displaying his stomach contents during most sessions!

 

[momentai]

Thanks Caesar, and interested in your comments about Balta. He is fast and highly skilled and I think he is still big chance to come in against the pies, either for Broad or Nank.

$1.4m and came within half a length of winning The Epsom?

The Epsom is probably the best mile handicap in the land. I'd argue winning it is analogous to a BOG in a GF.

They even run it on GF day. Norm Smith.

If you said to me now, I can guarantee Stackman will come 2nd in the Norm Smith (one guess who comes first?)

I'd take it.

Short memories. 18 clubs passed on Stackman, arguably the best (inarguably the 2nd best) kid in the land,

cause he ate a bucket of KFC.

He has a spew and falls short in one training run and he's on skid row ?

and M.Conti is no instagram socialite. She's an AA footballer.

c'mon fellas..

I don't think anyone is saying he's on skid row, I think they're saying he's got a bit of catching up to do, that's all.

Id say he's had some catching up to do his whole life. doesn't seem to hold him back.

not meaning to have a go at anyone.

Just countering that Stackman will be a star of the competition for the next decade.

I dont reckon JR8 would have ran a pace setting lap for Ben Lennon?

maybe he would've?
