[jackstar is back again]

Gives no advantage at all. Smokey is 100% on the money
Its a pure bonding of the players

The Pies have a "'high altitude "' room down at there Indoor Training facility they that DONT USE.
Interesting hey !!!!!!!

Hopefully X is proven correct on a Saints win.

Hopefully X is proven correct on a Saints win.

There is absolutely NO way X will be getting this one right, Collingwood are going to win the game convincingly and everyone else in the competition is going to have to work out how the stuff the Magpies run so aggressively for so long.
Dane Swan is a running freak and he has an army of team mates behind him.
They are an incredible running team - never seen anything like it, Friday night was an awesome effort.

If it isn't altitude training, it must be something else, maybe the Gatorade. Hope we have it.

Well I can offer a bit of insight here, I actually keep pretty fit and do weights and cardio training. When I went to Africa I found myself short of breath when walking, it took about 2 weeks to adapt to the conditions and since coming home everyone says how much weight I have lost. I do cardio and weights over there and have been able to lift my cardio workout beyond what I was doing back home.

Does it work, well it has done for me...

have watched Collingwood train several times this season.
No doubt they run more than any other club I have watched.

Were you at higher altitude, or was it the climate?

Zambia, higher altitude, about 4500ft above sea level, climate was cold in the mornings and just right during the day. Only getting hot there now.

Isn't it South Africa where the Pies go every year?

[Hellenic Tiger]

Collingwood love to big note themselves. High altitude training, best facilities best this best that. They are always in the news win lose or draw top or bottom because it makes for discussion and for them its advertising that they don't have to pay for on radio or the tele.

The fact they go away and bond three or four times a year and they take the whole squad adds to the comraderie and the togetherness of the squad. If we only took a handful of players it could potentially create division amongst the squad as some would feel they deserve to go as opposed to others. Its all about acceptance from your superiors and it can create confidence issues also with some players. Its all the squad or none the way I see it. All for one and one for all.

Nah, Arizona WAT.  I think they went to SA early this year as part of the pre-season community camp thing maybe?

Yep, worked for me too WAT.  I was into long distance running (took it up after I finished playing football) when I lived there for 7 months and when I returned I ran some excellent times for a couple of weeks but it soon dissipated (and long before I was able to get any competition benefit).
