Title: Arizona
Post by: Luigi197 on September 15, 2011, 09:28:47 PM
Should more clubs be considering sending out their players to Arizona sort boot camps?

Swan and Shaw are a couple of the many that have improved dramatically while there, and it has shown on the field.

Should more clubs do boot camps like this?
Is it Worth it?

i dont think many clubs could afford to, i know teams like the roos are just managing good facilities in Australia.

Port can't, they just go up Mt. Lofty. Surely going to Coober Pedy would be just as challenging, plus you save the $$$ ;)

North going to Utah in the pre-season was very beneficial, looking forward to it again this year.

If it wins me a Brownlow then i'd go ;)

Looks like Essendon wont because they will build and use their new facility in Essendon i think.

Looks like we (Brisbane) are following suit by sending Brown, Merrett, Adcock and Black and possibly others to Arizona pre season.  Maybe will be the answer to Adcocks injury woes!!!
