Where would you like Mick to send the boys? Qatar? Kokoda? Arizona? The Amazon? Victoria Park? Personally I could see the merits of a team bonding trip on the kokoda trail... But it seems to be all about altitude training these days.... |

I have read the 'Cordy Report' on the scientific merit of Qatar. Still very experimental as to the benefits to the Australian Rules Footballer. Here's the link....but be warned - you're going to have to pay for it. http://www.physoc.org/proceedings/abstr ... c%2026PC65 There's lots of them out there...depends if you want the squad to have a cultural experience at the same time. If that's not high up on the list of priorities - stay in Australia. There are some very good ones - North-West University in Potchefstroom, South Africa; San Luis, Mexico and the University of Colorado in Boulder, Colorado where the Saints are going this summer. Of course after the year we had - I would prefer they went to Siberia. After all, the high performance training didn't work for Ivan Drago. [youtube]Q-8hOKNbtxg[/youtube] |

I'm thinking of a trip deep into the jungles in Vietnam. It'll be a themed preseason based on the movie Apocalypse Now with Malthouse as Colonel Kurtz, Sticks as Willard, and Ratts playing Dennis Hopper's character. |

Essentially, it doesn't matter where the team goes. If they take all they can out of the training, they'll be right. Look at Geelong, fairly sure that for a couple of years there, they went to places in country Victoria. Their results from the last few years prove that traveling overseas is sometimes a bit of a wank. |

Kokoda seemed to work pretty well for the Hawks |

The boys should build a house for the homeless. Using their arms and legs for lifting - no cranes or ropes for our boys. Kind of like the Amish in Witness. |
