Training 2019 preseason

[doggies ftw]

Even Ferg is looking solid considering he was a bit of a beanpole at the start of this year.

Toby was drafted in 2014.

He is a 4th year player! Hence why Zaine cordy was also training.

My question is where was Bailey Dale and Caleb Daniel?? Are both coming back from injury?

2015
2016
2017
2018

They’re not in their fourth year.

2015 = first year and so on...

 

[Lindsay_Gilbee]

Exactly... so this is their fifth pre season

He was drafted at end of 2014. 2015 he was a first year, 2016 2nd, 2017, 3rd, 2018 4th, 2019 he’s a 5th. Unless they mean Richards and Naughton are first year players then you’re correct. I didn’t see Zaine but I saw Roarke who was same draft but again, he’s got plenty to prove.

Could be a huge year for Bailey Williams.

By your logic a first year player starting pre season now would need to be who we draft in 2 weeks. Not possible.

By your logic we ignore the first pre season and season proper for all kids drafted to the club.

A season consists of a Pre Season and a Season Proper of 22 games and possible finals.
In two weeks time our first year players start this process just as Toby did late November 2014.

Young and Lipinski File.

Are there any Saturday morning open training sessions coming up ?
We usually have one or even a couple pre Christmas.

Great, thanks.

It’s possible but then I’m not sure why they wouldn’t say 2nd to 4th year players.

I think he's become my favourite younger player... I had no awareness of how good he could be until the turning point this year when he wore a confident mullett to the 2018 press photos. Oh also I guess his steller season before injury helped too.

I love the way he moves. His sidestep is unreal. Could be a huge outside mid for us.

 

[Dry Rot]

Young and Lipinski File.

Thanks.

I didn't recognise Young - has he got a lot bigger?

If so, could be a surprise package in 2109.

 

[Northernsoul74]

I hope he doesn’t take that long.

 

[dogwatch]

I hope he doesn’t take that long.

He'd certainly be a surprise package though ... he'd be 110.

 

[doggies ftw]

He'd certainly be a surprise package though ... he'd be 110.

He'd still be Young though

Won't just be outside IMO. You don't rack up 56 disposals in a game playing only an outside role.

By your logic a first year player starting pre season now would need to be who we draft in 2 weeks. Not possible.

Fifth-year players Toby McLean, Zaine Cordy, Caleb Daniel and Roarke Smith were not required back at the club until later in the month, but have also been training strongly.

Confirmation, from AFL website.

 

[TedDougChris]

I hope he doesn’t take that long.

The theory that KPP players take longer confirmed.....

By your logic the 3 state-league recruits the Suns added during the trade period that kicked off pre-season training are year 0 players.

Pre-season for year 1-4 players has started, we just haven’t drafted all of our year 1 players yet.

It’s pretty straightforward.

Things are looking up when the biggest shitfight on our board is the semantics over what a fourth year player is.

For the record the club's website (AFL media's Ryan Davidson) calls McLean a fifth year player:

Fifth-year players Toby McLean, Zaine Cordy, Caleb Daniel and Roarke Smith were not required back at the Club until later in the month, but have also been training strongly.

Carry on.
