Training Pre season training

Ha ha…he may prove me wrong but I doubt it!!

A cheap but solid back up, Dodson will be the real rucking winner to come out of this years pool.

Leek Allir would be a nice chess piece also allowing the flexibility with Caminiti.

This time of year is a very nervy time.

If we can cop a bit of luck and stay - injury free (for most part)
And no players acting like idiots, we may well have a good year.

So far, tigers player involved in a smack on, eagles player (video of a smack on)
Bulldogs star future in doubt (lifestyle)
Pies gun battling injury
Carlton injuries
Melbourne star rib injury

Over the years we have been smacked by injuries to our stars (touch wood) you just need a bit of luck at this time of year and dare I say it, our culture seems great!

We are going nicely under the radar, especially Herald Sun predicting we start 1-5?!

For those worried about that quote; "a bit more of a positive announcement"

It was a setup to make the players think there wasn't going to be an announcement on Boyd. Misso said he wanted Tyler to come up and lecture the boys on Caminiti's 21st birthday (which looked ****ing lit btw) but Tyler confirmed that was a joke and went on to announce Boyd's signing

When did we add a young Troy Schwarze back to the list tho

I'm not sure how Mason would feel about everyone touching him....

Yep fingers crossed we get a little luck with injury this year. And you're certainly not wrong about us flying under the radar. I've noticed a number of the "experts" have us finishing bottom four.

Only thing is we may have a few more injuries than we realise. Dow, Clark, Henry, Collard, Hastie, Tauru, Said I think are all in rehab and I may be missing some.

True but only the first 3 are really Best 23 starters and Clark's is minor so probably wont be much of a setback. Henry is able to do running blocks so his fitness isnt going to be too far off genuine fitness come the season.
Dow's is a worry though as it might put him back a month, With a fit Steele/Macrae/Windy/Pou and Jones we can pretty much field a fit core midfield which is going to be a necessity if we want finals.

 

[Joffaboy]

The video posted by the club showing the announcement of Boyd's signing starts with "now for a more positive announcement". Concerning...

Why? It was about the setup of Hammer and his 21st interfering with his rehab.

 

[The_Steadier]

Hammer on curnow would give me the worst scaries

We are 1 bad wilkie injury away from pretty much guaranteed bottom 4 I reckon.
Arie, doogs, caminiti vs any/every tall fwd in the comp... gulp.

My god man, don't even think it, let alone write it down!

 

[my name was taken]

Boyds kicked a goal, Boyds kicked a goal, from inside the centre square! ****!

Just going to casually change headcanon to make myself feel better

Yes we have been lucky with Wilkie and even Howard really...

Wood could cover Wilkies role and do a good job imo.

Cordy or Sharman with Keeler or Boyd coming in. Could also bring in a small and run with King Caminiti/Keeler Owens

Wood has zero defensive craft 1v1

He doesn't say a word but i can see how much it means to Boyd to make it on our list. Can't take the smile off his face. Love it.

Dow and Tauru only concerns
