Play Nice 2020 Pre-Season Training

[dominguez]

Maybe the first couple of seasons???.

Neesham used to rotate the team a fair bit.

If you remember the injury list from 23 years ago you have a better memory than me!!

A lot of negativity in this thread. If Fyfe, Mundy, Walters, Lobb, Logue, Ryan, Hogan, Cerra, Brayshaw all play 14+ games this year we'll play finals.

Our midfield is elite, our forward line is potent and we're a Hamling/Pearce away from having a fantastic back 6.

I like the enthusiasm and agree with most of what you are saying but our midfield is elite?

Fyfe is elite and Walters is elite for his position but he’s a hf that rotates through, his numbers aren’t elite for a midfielder. Outside of that we’re bog average in that department imo our midfield is why we’re considered wooden spoon contenders.

Seriously, we had an big injury at the start.

Especially, years 3 and 4 ended Neesham coaching career.

Remember this also. To make the finals in 97 I think we needed to beat a crap Melbourne in the last game of the year at the MCG and we could barely get a team on the park.
We started well but got smashed in the second half, The Dees finished last and and we finished out of the 8 on percentage, if we had won we would have replaced Brisbane in the finals.

I can almost guarantee that I don't!

Why the **** did you have to go and bring that up!!!

Do other teams have a constant stream of injuries like Freo?

Collingwood does

RAR at Anzac Cove are a close second.

Collingwood and GWS.

Who knows but if the Giants had most of their best 22, they might have won a flag.

Brisbane like us had a massive injury list each year, they made a change in coaching and conditioning staff and they are have the most available players.

Is it luck or good management or a combination of both? Who knows

Doing the same thing with the same people Is madness.

It has probably been mentioned before and apologies but for anyone that doesn't know Ryan Daniels's on Twitter is a great resource for training reports in the hub. Better than listening to Hackdorn too.

Time to create a thread for ‘Hub Training reports’?

True, we would have made the finals in 1997 if we had beaten Melbourne, but it was Port that missed out on the finals by percentage in their 1st season. Brisbane and Port were ahead of us on the ladder by 2 points and it stayed that way as they both lost.

Port played the last game of the round and were still a chance, but by that stage we'd already dropped to 12th spot on percentage, despite the other results we required (a Brisbane loss and a Carlton loss) going our way.

Just remember that weekend being a real fizzer because as we were struggling against Melbourne, Carlton who were playing at the same time were well ahead of Richmond (they ended up losing late by 2pts).

Only 10 wins a draw was enough to make the 8 in a 22 week season with 16 clubs.

Can we expect to see Meek this weekend?

 

[Joao]

Can we expect to see Meek this weekend?

Wouldn't think so. Seem to have a line through him for the moment and hasn't even been an emergency I don't think.

To be fair to Meek I can't think of a ruckman ever being an emergency.

If Darcy doesn’t come up, yes. If Darcy and Lobb don’t come up, absolutely!

I Can. Griff was a late out for Sandi (returning from injury) - I believe against Richmond. Sandi absolutely dominated and it caused a lot of media scrutiny.

Sean Darcy was an emergency against Gold Coast this season

TEAM: Serong is on!

Exciting midfield prospect Caleb Serong will play his first AFL game when Fremantle run out against Gold Coast at Metricon Stadium on Saturday.

There is no ruse here
