hill running is where it's at.
I tell anyone who will listen, if you want to improve your pace and endurance, train hills, hills and more hills. it will take some time, but once the conditioning is there, running flats are effortless.

Hill running on pavement has injured my hammy twice in the past 6 weeks but I must say how much I'm looking forward to running on flat grass, nut I'm old and past it, at least my weight has stabilised during my down time.

As for the lad, he just gets himself caught in no mans land, too close for a short pass and not far enough away for a run on target, it's frustrating to watch, especially if he gets to go forward as he doesn't go goalless too often but could easily snag 3-4 a game if he positioned himself right when it comes in.


If his 100% passionate about making it to the next level and you genuinely want to invest in his dream, I cant recommend PEAQ Conditioning Coaching highly enough.

Based in Port Adelaide these guys are the real deal when its come to sports fitness and conditioning. Having worked in the fitness industry for 15 years now I would definitely trust all of their trainers.

Try the trails in the hills mate, the undulating trails and surfaces builds the stability muscles in the ankles, knees and hips.

Positioning is key isn't it...my daughter plays and a couple of years ago, I was boundary umpiring and she got moved forward and constantly out of position to her opponent as the ball kept getting out the back as the skill level was not good enough to mark consistently. A sneaky word while I was down there to read the play and position herself at the back of the pack resulted in 2 goals in 2 minutes :lol:

Now she's in U17.5's and moved to a wing but getting herself caught between the play and the next kick...watching the ball go over her head constantly. It's frustrating!

I'd love to, I'm trying to just build the confidence up again in the hammy's to get back into my running, it will be 3 weeks tomorrow since the last mishap, I done a few slow run stints on Tuesday night without any discomfort so I'm hoping to do better on the weekend. It really belted me mentally, I have enough shit I'm trying to get through as it is and running was my escape, I was at my fittest I'd been in a long time and lost a lot of weight, I didn't even have that to look forward to any more.

The wing is the worst, the lad plays well in the guts, up forward or off a back flank but I shudder when he moves to a wing, he does the exact same thing, the ball goes back and forth over his head, he doesn't know whether he's a defender or a forward, I try butt out during the game though as I don't know what his coach's instructions are.

As I kid I remember one bit of advice I got that has always stuck "A good player isn't where the ball is, he's where the ball is going to be".

Its interesting, my 14yo reads a game of footy beautifully, its something he has always had, he positions himself superbly and runs to space as exactly the right time to receive the footy, sometimes works out where the ball will go 2 possessions ahead of time, classic winger. His older brother had none of that.

I had my Bucks party yesterday, a great Sunday session with all my good mates and massive afternoon and evening in particular, I got absolutely blind. We had a Cocktail Night at my cricket club on Saturday night too so I'm feeling alot worse for wear today haha.

We went Go Karting at Gepps Cross in the morning, then across the road to the Ale House for lunch then onto Maniax, the Ax Throwing place on Port Road at Thebarton followed by a long stop at Big Shed and then onto Pirate Life. There were plans to head to the city but there was no way that was going to eventuate because of the state we were in last night. I got dragged to the Fed at Semaphore by a few lads aswell but that didn't last long on my part.

The Ax Throwing was the main thing I've wanted to do for awhile and boy did I love it, the guys had alot of praise about it too. If anyone on here is looking for something different to do for a Bucks party, birthday, work party, something to do with friends etc. I fully recommend it, it was so much fun!

TDK, I was at the ale house over the weekend and saw a table that looked like we’re on a bucks show. Was that you in a dress with a blow up doll? :lol:

Nope, they can't cook a decent steak to save themselves, the prices look like they'd be top notch though.

Oh wow, I'll remember that for next time I go there although talking to guys at work about it they said they've had steaks there previously and they've been very good.

I can't recall any of our group having a Steak. Two guys had the rib sandwich, I wish I had it because it looked delicious.

Yeah, I read on here that they were sub-standard, we went there for my daughters 18th and everyone that had the $40 steaks had to pretty much fight with it to cut it.

The pizza's, schnitty's, Seafood trio and the Yoder Smoker were all quality both visually and taste from all reports, my lad's girlfriend chose the sweet potato wedge's, she's welcome to come along to dinner any time :D

BTW, hope you had a cracking time, perfect weekend for it weather-wise.

Fair enough, sounds like a few people have had bad experiences then. I like to try different dishes from I've had previously (I had the I Pulled Pork Nachos on Sunday) so tend to steer away from Steaks and more so Snitties.

Sweet Potato Wedgies/Chips are magnificent!

Yeah certainly had a cracking time thanks mate, still paying for it today though haha feeling like an absolute Zombie.
