MFKFC and parksey - I think it's a 75minute session AFTER warmup and passing/possession drills. So realistically you'd imagine 5-15mins warmup, 10-30mins passing and stuff, it's getting more towards a 2 hour full session.Originally Posted by parksey
Not saying it would or should change your views on how "little" they do but just thought I'd attempt to put a real spin on that situation.
OK
I have asked this question, the main reason is due to the hardness of the pitches here in Aus - both at the playing and training venues. The euro pitches are much softer and hence easier on legs, knees, joints, ligaments etc enabling longer sessions for ballwork, technical drills, etc
It wont change until the clubs have their OWN training facilities tailor-made for football which is quite an expensive investment for clubs who are still making losses.
If the players were on similar training regimes to the european leagues, players would be breaking down even more regularly than they are now.

So we should be getting a whole lot more training in when this Speers Point facility comes in then.
OK
I dont know whether the Jets senior teams will be moving to that facility at this stage

its our playing pitch that is the problem.
Just another example of how tossers with a sports science degree have no idea and no business in Australian football
If these idiots actually have a clue why at the World Cup were the Aussies out warming up 10 mins before our opponent and then still out there for another 10 mins after our opponent has retreated to the sheds
Established football countries like Spain Chile and Holland obviously know what they are doing. We are ****ing clueless if we are doing things so differently

Must be Brazilian, only one name. should sign up joel
Out of interest what's your background in sports science, injury prevention, treatment or sports coaching to be so unequivocally certain you are right?
the squads you are talking of had players coming off a much much longer season and would have been expecting to be managing are larger number of players seeing game time as each progressed deeper into the tournament.
perhaps their different approaches on game day are reflective of a different training/warm up/game/cool down/recovery plan based on the entirely different fatigue and fitness levels coming into the tournament, or their expectations of progressing through the group and deeper into the tournament.
Granted, football in Australia hasn't had the professional environment conducive to football specific sports medicine staff becoming world leaders in football specific sports medicine.
But I'd back the guys at the jets (who last year reduced the number of soft tissue injuries at the club dramatically - to the a-league's lowest) as a little more in tune with what's needed than your assessment based on watching a few games of the World Cup from the stands.
But hey, that's just me.

Still don't like the red back panel, probably only worth picking one up when they eventually slash the prices.Jets change their stripes for new shirt design
By JAMES GARDINER
July 16, 2014, 7 a.m
CHIEF executive Robbie Middleby is confident the Newcastle Jets' new home and away strips will prove popular with fans after they were unveiled yesterday.
Designed by new apparel supplier BLK, the home shirt is predominantly blue with thin red vertical stripes and a red panel on the back.
The cinnamon and emerald away kit, a throwback to KB United, remains, but the diagonal sash is now vertical.
The Jets have retained the predominantly blue shorts for home games and white for away fixtures.
Both shirts, which are expected to go on sale from September, have a Jets 10-year anniversary logo on the back.
"With a new sponsor coming on board in BLK, we wanted their input and also to freshen it up," Middleby said.
What do you think of the design? Tell us in the comments below.
Jets owner Nathan Tinkler's Castle Quarry Products replaces his Hunter Ports on the front of the jersey. CQP is a sandmining operation at Fullerton Cove and is a division of Buildev.
NIB has remained as sleeve sponsor.
Jets commercial manager Mark Duffield-Thomas said negotiations with Aurizon, last season's shorts sponsor, and other potential backers were continuing.
WesTrac has not renewed its sponsorship on the back of the playing shirt.
NIB, WesTrac and Aurizon had duel sponsorships with Hunter Sports Group when it owned the Jets and Knights.
Middleby said sponsorship and corporate sales were areas A-League clubs across the board were working hard to improve.
Jets memberships go on sale at noon today.
They start at $60 for a child and $120 for an adult, and Middleby was confident of increasing the 10,200 members from last season, despite the departure of marquee striker Emile Heskey.
"Membership prices are the same as last year and easily the most affordable in the A-League," Middleby said.
Meanwhile, Josh Brillante has passed a medical and is expected to complete his move to Italian club Fiorentina in the next two days.
In other squad news, former Young Socceroos defender Sam Gallagher, 23, is expected to be offered a contract as early as today.

Signing of Gallagher shows how much we rate our own youth team when we go signing players like that as fourth string CB's.
Maybe, just maybe, we have signed Gallagher because plucking players from our youth team would deplete the youth team.
Still wish we had Josh Mitchell, I loved that guy.
I barely remember Gallagher at any of the HAL clubs he's played at so can't really make a judgement on him. Still young though.
OK
Firstly I have no formal qualifications in sports science.I am though an expert on whatever subject that comes up
I am pretty certain though our opponents in the world cup were preparing as they normally would for a game and the length of their warm up had nothing to do with future world cup games or the previous Euro season.
Why it takes our country clubs etc that long too warm up is baffling. How much energy is wasted that could be better expended in the game???
Just as I find it baffling why in the HAL the Jets have a what 30-40. Minute warm up in summer temps
Surely energy in the hot sun is wasted that could be spent in the game
As for the sports science injury performance at the Jets last season few injuries is hardly anything to brag about
The fact that our players spend so much time at the beach in coffee shops at the cinema or banging Griffs left overs and not actually training may be why
It also might be the reason why we don't make the top 6
Maybe a little bit of hard work might see a few more injuries but it might actually see a competent side winning games for newy
I love you Member. Never change please.
OK
5 star post.
Well in.
Gallagher was originally an attacking LB, therefore I believe will be competing for the LB position. Can also be a backup for the left sided CB position.
We would now have 2 players competing for their suited position. Goody/Gallagher for LB and Steele/Carney further up the park. Therefore a better balance on the left.
Galloway would be backup RB behind Neville.
Solid signing I believe
I am gonna go out on a limb and say this Gallagher bloke is a shit signing
When Ange went to Victree he gave the bloke a go. Then Ange couldn't get rid of him quick enough
If Postecoglou don't rate the bloke then that's enough for me
Gallagher is the last squad position, min wage, and Stubbins clearly rates him. Good enough for me.
I don't see the rationale in signing our youth CB's unless they are at risk of being poached by other clubs. If they are in the youth team then Stubbins can select them for first team duties if he chooses.
You and me both. His wage must have been outside the realms of possibility as far as the club was concerned. Came into his own last season I thought
