Training 2024 Preseason reports and discussion

[JZedd]

any. you can get fish too

sorry guys didn't mean to derail this into a discussion on inflation and food... was just suggesting a nice local business u can support and get a great feed after the game lol

No big deal. I was more concerned we were disturbing your lunch.

This. And despite it not being part of the eligibility criteria, the media reps who vote on it have since 2016 only voted a winner from the top 8 selections of the previous year's national draft with the exception of Jackson in 2021 which I put down to the 2020 draft being a bit weaker and all the COVID impacts on development.

I'll be shocked if the 2024 Rising Star isn't one of Reid or McKercher. From what I understand they'll both be getting plenty of minutes across HB where they'll get plenty of ball and opportunity to show off their skills. Also seem likely to play 20+ games. Watson a smokey if he can average 1-2 goals and consistently make the highlights reels.

2011, D.Heppell, 2010 pick 8
2010, D.Hannebery, 2008 pick 30

Get on Hustwaite. Not flashy, but has the potential to do much more damage.

On the Chol situation, my reaction is simple:

Don't stick your digits in people's cavities without consent. Male, female, hetero or homo. Just don't do it without another person's permission. If you do, the digit deserves to be broken.

If I had my way, the digit would be removed.

Serong

What’s Serong about it?

 

[hawkman]

If Sam Darcy has a good year you could almost back all his dad's media mates locking him for the Rising Star

Surely you can't banh mi for some sandwich talk.

Pho Farks sake that’s a bad joke

Thank god for this post. I was beginning to think the Pork Bun discussion thread was being derailed by footy posters.

Mckelcher for mine. Will slip into the back flank, and rack up touches, in a position suited to his game style.

Such a cruel world 8:00am in Perth - like WTF

If it helps, it will be 1am in Europe.

I guess you could start a thread titled "Sack-whacking and it's implications in modern society" and another titled "The impact of Vietnamese pork buns on the Australian economy in 2024".

But then this thread would be deserted.

I think pork bun thread would go right off with action

Been a welcome interjection to the butthole penetration thread

I have to ask, did he get the full Hopoate or just a poke outside the shorts?

 

[wahawk]

Used to get a meatball sub (footlong) for about 5 bucks back in the mid 2000s.

Bulking back in those days was piss easy.

Bulking nowadays is piss easy

Makes Nash look a lot smaller than he really is.

Anyone else ever sit near Pat Cash back in the day at Waverley ?
We used to see him at 3-4 games , always behind the interchange .
Was always nice to us kids ......unless you interrupted him during play or if he was knocking back a 4'n'20

At the pre Christmas training he looked a lot bigger and more confident . But so did most of the younger guys tbh.

Nashy is doing the Irish proud with his Ned Kelly impersonation.

I was having lunch at The Last Piece today ( in the stand at Waverley ) and saw Nash and (maybe) Lewis eating lunch…. I’m sure my lunch was bigger than either of theirs and i had a calamari salad ! I was surprised they were eating so little. No doubt their diet is managed a lot better than mine ( especially with wifey’s vanilla slice figuring so prominently )

have eaten there a couple of times or so midweek and have seen Hawks players there each time…

Nice and Tall too. Can't teach that no matter what you do.

For a ruckman to be tall is crucial and Reeves is just about the best in the comp at it.

Cash stood out to me. Bloke is in awesome nick for 62 years young.

I'm Pat Cash's age and I can guarantee you that neither he nor I are 62.

You probably shouldn’t. It’s not relevant.

Harsh way for Harry to be replaced
