Anyone know why the players are doing drills with their hands on their hips?

It's a specific running drill to change the impact point of the foot and strengthen the legs.  Benefits the hammies, improves speed, reduces impact injuries.

"He [Lalor] was always going to be ready for R1. Before Christmas was to build up his fitness base and get ready to launch in Jan on return. There was never any doubt."

-----------------------------------------------------------

Lalor is living with defender Nathan Broad and his family after moving from Bacchus Marsh to Melbourne. He will find his own place in the coming weeks.

He said he was still grappling with the tactical side of the game but was finding the physical adjustment to senior football fairly smooth as he cautiously targeted a round 1 senior debut.

“I’m travelling pretty well at the moment. I’m just trying to get my head around the education side of things,” he said.

“Hopefully, I do get picked and put my hand up to play (the pre-season games).

“I think that would be a goal (to play round 1). It’s still obviously a while away and a lot of learning to come, but I think if I get my body right, and get my head around that education side, I’ll have a good chance.”
