Haven’t we earned a break?

se7en said:Serious question
Have we been over training?
caesar said:No, the reverse and I would say the same for the pre-season from my outsiders point of view. All the talk was about us starting too hot last year and fading, maybe they changed the program and didn't get enough miles into their legs?
The Skip was definitely one that did less in pre-season compared to last.

To me it looked like we had more days off than on and we disrespected this preseason.

Fortunately for our VFL team, there are some very decent VFL listed players.

These days we put so much science into our approach there is no room for any sort of loading error.
We track every single step they take on GPS, how many kicks they've had, how they sleep, eat, feel and just about anything else you can name.
We have our property guys weight the training footies before each session so they can be thrown out as soon as they absorb moisture so the guys aren't putting any extra load through their kicks.
I think a better theory is we are reaping what we have sowed. I posted early in the season that players like Nank were at huge risk of injury this year, because they have played long minutes in long seasons for a couple of years. When you get a great run with injuries the trade off is your players are carrying a higher load than most others and their long term risk of injury increases accordingly.
Rather than overtrained, I think you'll find we have overplayed.

I heard that some of our players had organised a helichopter ride somewhere for over the break n broke out in a cold sweat. Not many second chances if something goes wrong with one of them things, they tend to park like a rather large rock when the *smile* hits the fan.tigertim said:Hope we don’t get any injuries from the bye weekend.....
