Does Binns play any position other than wing? Tough competition with Acres, Hollands, Cottrell and possibly Doc in the mix.

Played a bit of half forward and on the ball at junior level quite well.

 

[LanceRomance]

Excited about Binns. Think he will have a great season. Expecting him to play a lot in the seniors and rack up the possies. He and Williams could make a huge difference in 2024

Greg Williams is well past it.

Not if you ask him.

Just the 4 of them…

What is it normally, 1st to 4th year (pre-seasons) then the rest a couple of weeks later, though the delayed return seems to be a thing of the past.

Assuming the official pre-season is 4th Dec with 10 weeks off post our finals.
We haven’t even cracked 5 weeks yet.

generally 1-4 years come in either last week of October or first week of November.

there are tranches of player returning over the next six weeks with age, personalised plans and injury history weighting those factors.

players have a right to a certain amount of time off in the CBA, stuff like this is a personal choice and it's great to see the commitment.

Probably still the best kick in the side to be fair

The only difference is that we went (deep) into finals this year, so the break should be longer. Think the AFLPA negotiated 10 weeks, though they break for a further 2 weeks over Xmas/NY.

During preseason training at the start of the year, I saw Diesel taking part in a warm up drill, firing out his signature bullet-like handballs to players running past....still a thing of beauty

West Coast's first-to-fourth-year players due to return for pre-season training on November 6.
**We’ve got another 4 weeks on them from the end of the H&A season, which equates to 10 weeks = our official pre-season may not commence until Mon, 4th Dec.

Best sport in the world when it comes to holidays. There wouldn't be another sport like it.

NFL has a 7 month off season. (Superbowl is played early Feb season starts back about early September).

Not sure what the players commitments are in between though.

 

[The Bighouse]

27-Nov return for the 1st to 4th year players then 04-Dec for the rest (though likely most front up at the earlier date like last pre-season).

 

[BringFevBack2021]

Any word on blokes who’ve returned early? I hear Nic Martin at the Dons is fitter than he’s ever been and has a full pre season to get stuck into yet, I’d love to hear something similar about our guys.

...usual stuff - live rooster fighting etc

Most are back already and training at club. Those that aren't have individual training programs.

Only surgery I know is Pittonet that was a knee clean

drugs banned in WADA compliant sports, dog fighting and paternity cases

I was sure Durdin was getting shoulder done and delayed start to pre season.

First time we're talking about opposition players training the house down

You're right plus Docherty with foot surgery.

True. Forget Doc

Nic Martin is an all or nothing wingman. Perpetually gambles on getting the ball and leaving his opponent unattended. He'll be able to use his great tank in making sure that he keeps out of contests. His team also finished 4 weeks before ours, partially at least because of their lack of contested players.

I couldn't care less if Nic Martin is the fittest person in the world.

Hopefully this 'knee clean' will see Pittonet regain his blinding speed

Ok relax guy - I just get impeccable mail from the Dons and a few other clubs and wish I got mail for Carlton as I’m sure there are blokes who’ve been back for weeks and in great condition (see Walsh for example - speculatively of course)

Someone here has to know something to tide us over with some level of Carlton talk

 

[bmaurizio]

Was not particularly impressed at all with the first version that arrived from GWS. Hopefully, his year away from the game has brought home the need fora more professional approach to his game. All will be revealed.

Yup time for Zac to show us something, huge investment for the club which has yielded very little.
Williams will be 30 in 2024, so not too many seasons to make his mark, hopefully he’s seen the light and bigins gets a move on.

That was during the season?
