2016 pre-season: Who’s training strongly at every AFL club

“JANUARY flyer, but April fool.”

Once upon a time this saying rung true about AFL’s pre-season..

Those burning up the track in the heat of summer, would go missing when the games arrive in the depths of winter.

However, with the increasing fitness demands placed on AFL footballers, a strong and uninterrupted pre-season is crucial to on-field success.

Any player that thrives on the field in 2016 will inevitably attribute this to his “best pre-season yet”.

With that in mind here’s the players TTHD (Training The House Down) or “burning up the track” at your club.


RICHMOND

KANE Lambert’s story shows that persistence beats resistance, with the former mature-age rookie leaving his teammates in his wake at preseason training. Lambert led the pack for the majority of the Tigers’ 3km time trial, before being pipped by Brandon Ellis. However, he wouldn’t be passed in the 3x1km sprints.

Reece Conca needs a big season and he’s another who has been recognised by teammates.

Brett Deledio was flying until a minor calf problem intervened.

Can Lambert kick more than 40 metres?
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Lmao at Conca and Ellis B, being the outstanding performers.
Who cares what times you run if you're going to get a lesbian haircut or eat tonnes of pasta.
Conca is a liabiltiy. Club has give him everything he's wanted and he's given the club nothing.
Ellis can stuff off too.
Put him on he Hume and tell him to keep running
Caracella and Balmey.
