glad you got healthy. boo to your teammates for pulling out of a chance to play for a championship! injuries are one thing but family commitments are just other things to put on the calendar.

Yeah it was a pretty bad season. The coach even said "to be honest I'm actually glad this season is over" after our team lost. Most weeks was a struggle just to fill a team, let alone have players on the bench. We had 26 registered players and you only need 13 players to field a team. We had the most talented but we could never get our best players to all come together on the same day. Out of the 26 we lost 5 because they moved interstate for work (army/mining). Out of the 21 remaining there were another 3 that played only a couple of games all year because they just couldn't be fucked playing. So realistically we had about 18 players when everyone is fully fit but a lot of them also played rugby union on Saturday's so they'd either be injured or hungover for our games. It was a fkn shit show all year.

We've got a rugby league trip coming up on the 6th October getting a bus up to play a team in Roxby Downs (7 hour bus trip) and our coach has already recruited players from other teams to play for us. We might not even have a team next year.

I'm not registered for American Football yet but the team I'm going to play for had a win today in the 2nd game of the season. They are currently 2-0. https://www.facebook.com/sdgc.oilers/

I'm not registered because I haven't paid the fees- it's different to rugby /rugby league where my fees and travel expenses were covered by the club.

whoa.  :wowthatwasnutswtf:

It's cool seeing you respect the sport too (for so long). So many rugby fans i've seen, hate american football etc, which is annoying to me, both sports are incredible. Most American Football fans don't even know what rugby is I imagine, lmao. I'm sure they'd like it though. Americans love contact sports.

Interested to see what your thoughts would be after playing it in a league like that (if you do).

I imagine you'd be a good offensive weapon (WR maybe?) :D :ibrunning: Also good on defense in something like safety etc. There's alot to learn in the sport though, probably easier to come in on an offensive role. Defense is crazy complex.

Yeah I've been to two training sessions so far. On Monday the session is focused on defence and on Wednesday the session is focused on offence. Apparently there are 29 defensive plays they run but I got told that they only used about 8 of them in the first game because those 8 players were working well.

On the offensive side on Wednesday they had me playing as a WR on the right side (X, Z or Y I can't remember) and it was fairly overwhelming. Since I'm not registered they haven't given me the play book but one of the injured receivers was mentoring me through the drills telling me what route I had to run when the QB was calling out the plays. Most of the noobs also have a playbook on their forearm as a cheat sheet but I don't have access to that either. I remember there was like 10 routes but 4 of them are ones most common e.g. hitch, pocket, rocket. I got told you run 75% speed until you make the cut and that's when you burst 100% and instead of thinking about it in yards it's better to think about in steps. Like if the route is run 12 yards straight and cut to the outside on a 90 degree angle you take 6-7 steps @ 75% then cut hard @ 100%.

My favorite route (once again I can't remember the name) is the one where you run 5 yards straight and then cut in at at a 45 degree angle to the middle of the field. Every time I was easily able to beat the defender but my hands let me down because my catching skills are poor + no gloves and a wet night.

It's a weak league but in my team there are a couple of players that have represented Australia Outback (the national team) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gridiron_Australia and a lot of others that play state. We have a couple of American ex-pats that play as well including the RB who is an African-American who ironically used to play JUCO for Ellsworth, which is one of the teams Indy plays against in Last Chance U. I did google his name but I couldn't find anything on him.

Edit- This is his fb page of the RB. https://www.facebook.com/sean.stewart.581730

I don't understand the hate for rival sports. I don't play table tennis but doesn't mean I hate the sport of table tennis it's just not something I'm interested in. I always see comments on facebook of rugby players making comments about American Football saying it's a soft because of pads and vice versa American Football supporters bagging the athleticism of rugby players. To me they are two different sports but I respect them both.

This is cool. If you can get around the waiting you'll love the game. I played a season when I was 15 for the Sherbrooke Saxons. Disappointed I couldn't continue but it just clashed too much with basketball.

Welcome back mate!



I tore my fkn hamstring at training tonight  :raging: :raging: :raging:

I'm fkn devastated my football season is over before I even got to play a game.

The money I was going to spend on fees I'm going to use on physio. I'm also going to miss my end of season rugby league trip now as well, which was on the 6th October.

After football training on Monday my hamstring was feeling tight. As usual I didn't listen to my body and I paid the price  :(

I'll still keep posting on adarq though and looking at people's logs. Peace!

Warm up drills

   - acceleration: low heel recovery, shin angle low, drive legs back before hitting the ground and drive thighs/knee forward not up

Haha actually it doesn't. I played WR, cornerback and some special teams stuff. It was great fun but I remember having to be there an hour before the game for the warm up and then the actual game lasting over 3 hours. Makes for a long day when you're used to basketball being done in 60 minutes.

*edit- this is the scene in Melbourne now. Couldn't find any source for the Saxons although we are talking over 20 years ago.

That is awful :( :( :(
Heal good and fast man, and make the best out of it as coges said, don't let the no-sports make you a couch-booze-potato ( talking from personal experience in the past ).
Target training paces (min/km), calculated from 5K PR 22:49 :
Easy run : 5:48
Tempo run : 4:50
VO2-max run :4:21
Speed form run : 4:02

---

it's the biggest trick in the run game.. go slow to go fast. it doesn't make sense until it smacks you in the face and you're like ....... wtf?
