Preview 2022 Goodbye (To 2023) New; Preseason Discussion

[Lefti93]

He's going with Boak, not Toumpas

lolol if he was going with the toump he'd survive.

 

[Premiers04]

Will be handy having a few players with elite training knowledge.

Anything that can potentially keep Raz on the park is a massive win.

 

[Adz2332]

Just another reason to love Boak and the value he has around the club

 

[Jonts]

May as well start this thread early - we also avoid RossFC making it that dumb title this way

Good news to start it off.

 

[Willsy10]

Dylan Williams and Sam Hayes (if he’s still here) need to do this.

Nah, I think it’s a carefully selected small group. I doubt they could send anymore. Leave the spots for the most important assets.

And an injury prone Fantasia is absolutely a must because he needs to get this body right of his. Needs a big pre season, he is more important to us than he is given credit for. And with our current small forward stocks being very low he needs to be available, at his best he can easily replicate what Stengle gave Geelong this year.

Ah **** didnt see it Ross

This is the worst part of the Port Bigfooty Board

Id rather have 5 more Jumbos than this stupid name

You’d think it will be a pretty intense pre season . I think would do with another assistant coach , a review of the fitness dept with reinforcement if deemed to be needed , a game plan with Tod as the full forward , a shift of Duursma to focus more on his running at her than inside development, I reckon his strength is his running , if he gets too big to be an elite runner it will be to his detriment. .
Train Jones in the midfield .
Try Finlayson in defence sometimes with a lead ruck surely coming back into the side , whether it’s Lycett or Hayes we need a lead ruck .
Hopefully get our own forward pocket maestro
plan for Jonas to be replaced soon , he was still pretty good this year but need to transition a proper kpd into his role

I love that Mitch G is going. I do wonder if his training from home during Covid hurt.

Pasini did the same didn't he? He looked in outstanding shape when he came back.

underwent a left side hernia repair but it is not expected to impact his return for pre-season training in early December.

Josh Sinn had a similar procedure, which also included an abdominal tendon repair, and will have a staggered progression into full drills when he resumes training with the first to fourth year players in late November.

 

[powerrrrrrrrrrrr]

Good to hear it sounds like Sinn will be ready to hit some training straight up (also no mention of any groin issue). Ease him in slowly from Day 1.

 

[Capital Power]

Very comforted to see tradition has at least been maintained with the thread title. Thanks

Must gave been waiting for uranium enriched titanium mesh for Trav's repair.

Yeah, ok Matty, whatever. Can't wait for his trade radio insights (if they give him a gig again)..

Does Houston require surgery for his hand? It felt like he was slapping his hand passes for most of the year.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Lol i love how the club said MG got his syndesmosis against the crows.

He was playing with it for a vast majority of the year and it was very obvious. He limped all the time after jumping or kicking for goal.

I bet it's a half truth, the club loves using them.

He's been carrying some degree of one all year but made it worse in the showdown.

Explains why his kicking tanked.
