Recurring calf injuryHello folks, please excuse the intrusion.
I noticed Daniel McKenzie didn't get a run on the weekend. Any injury concerns or is he just not best 26?
Cheers.
I hope you are worried AF leading up to approx. The last Saturday in September, I am putting my hand up to help with your worry.I think it was Gringo who said he might be a 'slow processor'. I think that's the main issue. Elite players are able to sum things up quickly and make a good decision. I'm a bit stupid in the moment too, so can relate. Do my best thinking after the event.
Raph was probably the worst in this regard. Any other contenders?
Anyway, I think Doogs is probably at his worst in the preseason, before things become automatic. He'll be right. Bit worried about him if we make a GF, but that might be wasted worry.

Can't wait to read your words after a win this yearOk so I mosied on down to training today to have a look and have a coffee.
First thing I noticed was king leading out and taking everything "one grabbed". He then went back and didn't miss one. Would have happened about 10 times.
Owens will kick 40 goals this year with the way he trains, kicked one off the ground from 50 Ronaldo style and went through post height.
Clark was dominating the middle, no one could touch him. Danced, pranced and slipped every tackle then proceeded to hit every player leading in the f50 on the tit. I fear opposition defenders this yeah will be helpless with that sort of kicking.
NWM and Sinclair started some drills and didn't miss a target. Those two are slipperier than a pair of eels in the local canal.
Dougal Howard's was marking everything in his direction and even took a massive hanger over Sharman. Whose nickname is apparently now Captain Smith....make of that what you will.
Windhager now has the same robotic hand from terminator 2. Not afraid to use it in a contest either, put a fend off on Steele and sent him flying over the fence.
From the centre square mind you.
Higgins and butler fed off anything that hit the ground. Much like seagulls....they ran....so far away...
And didn't miss
People saying Paton on the wing won't cut the mustard, well he was very saucy today. Multiple runs down the wing and hitting targets at will.
Phillipou is just a God among men. I saw him beat Roma in a hit out, roved it himself, took on 3 tacklers (including the now bionic Windhager) then roostered it post height from 60 off his non preferred.
Ross just smiled and said "that'll do pig, that'll do."
Now this may or may not have happened, but it seems no one else is going to put up a training review to refute me.
So you can take it to the bank and can go any training.

its about what I expected. Sandy to injury fill in for the half back roleAnyone else disappointed in what we've seen from Stocker so far?
not really. he is a free hit and had 19 touches and 6 marks off a back flank and did some nice things in a new system under a new coach. if you're disappointed in that, then you have some lofty bloody expectationsAnyone else disappointed in what we've seen from Stocker so far?
Is there actually such a thing as a starting 18 vs a bench player any longer?Wouldn’t mind stocker as a bench player, not convinced he’s a starting 18 option.
Probs not fair to make judgments on him yet. I'm thinking he'll be a mid at Sandy this year but we just haven't seen it thus far.Anyone else disappointed in what we've seen from Stocker so far?

They make substitutions within the first 5 minutes or so anyway.
FWIW, my view of the “safe for 2024” Under 25s is below…
I reckon the “hmms” are either in strife, or I’m not sure about where they fit.
B: Battle - Van Es - McLennan
HB: Stocker - Adams - Coffield
C: Wang.-Mil.* - Clark* - Hotton
HF: Higgins - Caminiti - Phillipou
F: Owens - King - Keeler
Foll: Heath - Windhager - Bytel
“Hmm”: Paton Sharman Allison Byrnes Connolly Peris
For me, I’d love Paton to get back to top form, love Sharman, and have a lot of time for Byrnes.
The asterisked blokes, NAS and Clark, I don’t know if they will stay, but I’d love to keep them.
Either way, I think it still needs some class and pace in the middle…
Did you happen to catch Sharman training by himself in his sterile space suit so he doesn't get injured or get exposed to any pathogens before the Freo game. Talk about the standards lifting.Ok so I mosied on down to training today to have a look and have a coffee.

His name wasI was probably hoping to find a Will Brodie or something I guess. He's looking like a solid middler which has never been something we lack. Hopefully finds bit of form at some point. Seems like a great kid.
Hey man...DMT is awesome...would u like some?Did you happen to catch Sharman training by himself in his sterile space suit so he doesn't get injured or get exposed to any pathogens before the Freo game. Talk about the standards lifting.

No, but Bytel can find his way through bodies better than a certain Tasmanian troutDid you happen to catch Sharman training by himself in his sterile space suit so he doesn't get injured or get exposed to any pathogens before the Freo game. Talk about the standards lifting.
Thought he looked poor against Dees but good against the Bombers.Anyone else disappointed in what we've seen from Stocker so far?
I really think Paton and Webster are our best small defenders at moment , Stocker will get his chance during the season.Thought he looked poor against Dees but good against the Bombers.
Paton hasn't played there in the practice matches. In my opinion Stocker is a round one lock in the backline.I really think Paton and Webster are our best small defenders at moment , Stocker will get his chance during the season.
