Preview 2022 Goodbye (To 2023) New; Preseason Discussion

[powerrrrrrrrrrrr]

He was unable to run. His movement was unnatural and restricted. He did not try to do any more than a shuffle. i suspect he may have been following an instruction to not run.

Hmm that doesn’t feel me with to much optimism even if it’s under instruction.

I’m not so optimistic as others when it comes to Sinn. Coming into next year he’s getting close to hitting the 3 year mark without playing consistent footy at any level due to repeated injuries.

Another limited pre season going into another limited year will only make me loose faith further.

Wishful but we’ve seen this story before with highly rated juniors. However, will keep my fingers crossed for him.

Actually, coming in to next year he will be at the one year mark. Next year will be his 2nd season on an AFL list.

His draft year was also ruined by constant injuries.

Then this year again injuries and limited game time.

And now injured going into his second AFL year.

Was also covid before his draft year so again limited games.

So it’s really 4 years without consistent games played if he doesn’t get going next year.

 

[Saltiga]

Seems impossible to get any official news on exactly where Sinn is at. Club says nothing other than broad generalisations.

 

[Kingfish73]

Faarrrkkk. Hartlett looks to be in rippin shape, best of his career. Must be lifting some serious iron in gym. Could be his best season me thinks....

I've heard he's making a move into the midfield next year. I'm eyeing him off in my dream team because of this.

Mead was very impressive today. He had great energy and his skills in match simulation were excellent. Jones didn't take part in the main group but his pace and agility were very good. Bergman looked a little lighter but was very sharp and ready to go next level. Duursmar also has trimmed down and moved well. Sinn couldn't run and did handball drills with JHF. Hayes was OK without standing out but Lord still looked a bit lost as a defender and lacking confidence in his body language. Rioli and Evans were good in match simulation too. Teakle was also in the thick of it and looks very capable of progressing well next season.

Rozee and Butters were incredible.

Did you see much from Hugh Jackson? Liking him for a spot on my Buddy roster this year.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

I like how we told Duursma last year to bulk for inside midfield minutes and now this year we're telling him to slim down for outside midfield minutes

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Duursma the hard running wingman is more important to us than Duursma the inside mid.

It wasn't outrageous that they wanted to turn him into a mid, but with the rise of Rozee and Butters as mids and the arrival of JHF, we have some talent and depth there now.

With Amon gone,it makes sense. Never really got going after the early injuries.

Hugh was moving well and showed a burst of pace I didn't know he had at one stage. He also showed a penetrating left foot.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Bergman looks so fit, he could finally get a chance in midfield.

I remember that interview he did after putting on some size & saying he had to learn to run differently or some shit lol madness.

Anyway hopefully that rubbish is over and he's back to the hard running option he excelled as.

He is not injured in his second year with us. He is recovering from a hernia operation

We still don’t even know where he sits with his groin recovery or if that has been sorted out or still restricting his movement. Until I see him out in full training I’m counting him as injured. Whatever we call it, either injured or recovery, he will head into next season with a hampered pre season.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Jackson Mead is looking ripped. Hopefully he can step up as a midfield option

 

[68vette]

A few of the boys on the Uni Loop earlier today. Then on Melbourne Street for a coffee.

Looking fit but I was comparing them to me which is a bit unfair as I am 30 years their senior.

Club needs to be more upfront on the injury status of players. Too often we hear nothing for weeks so assume a player is close to then find out he's still weeks or months away after another operation.

Charlie not sighted? Just endless insta of him sleeping on the GC lol

Coming back on schedule I guess.

He was in some photos from the club on one of the days. He's been doing gardening work on his house on other days by the looks of his videos. Was dumping loads of tree trimmings on a pipe by dropping handbrakeys.

Charlie said it himself earlier this year. "I'm a car lover who happens to be good at footy." And he calls us supporters stupid.

The good at footy bit is debatable.

 

[Coobk001]

Just saw his insta, does look like he may have headed back north for weekend?

Boak from what I've seen is also in Qld.
