Some "nice" kodak moments from today:

Particularly like the first one, lol.

Hey Josh, how many goals have you kicked against the bulldogs in your last 2 games against them?

Bit of trivia in this one, son of ex-Canberra Cannons player Jamie Kennedy

 

[Double the Fist]

Can anyone tell me how Josh is after his ankle injury last year? Is he moving freely and doing hard running yet? He is so damn important to us that it is important that I know. So I can sleep at night!

cheers

He has been training with the main group since pre-season has started and he is apparently flying so i wouldn't worry!

Can anyone here give me a status update on this guy? Is he over his ankle injury? Did he have a decent preseason? Is he likely to get back his 2011 form?

Respectively:
-Yes
-Only had the one minor hiccup but the rest was good
-In 2011 LeCras missed a chunk of the season and Darling was just a rookie, he's more likely to spread the load with them now all are fit and firing this year

Thanks Kane.

I just saw this vid and figured it belonged here.
Some insight into the ankle injury

 

[dajesmac]

Just realised he has an "Est 1987" tattoo on his bicep.

heck yes.

**** yes.

The Judd trade was originally lopsided but as Kennedy and Masten have grown it's evening out more and more to the point we might almost be at break even. If only Notte hadn't flopped we would have made out like bandits from what was a bad situation.

We may still

Well done JK, 50 goals for the year

 

[ioppolo]

Once again, he leads the Coleman at rounds close. JK for the Coleman

 

[Jimmy_the_Gent]

Not only is he leading the Coleman but he's 9th on the Eagles all-time goal kicking list.

He passed Cousins with his 3rd goal yesterday.
