Ok will give it go - assuming they will be open on Friday?

Just rang them…they’re open Friday!

I was standing next to you lot last week in between trips for coffee, and grudgingly going back to watch my son do drills with the holiday program…

 

[Remboy]

I've had to put myself on ignore

I put everyone else on ignore. Only problem was the place was still full of crap posts.

 

[Remboy]

Has training started yet? Where are the reports?

 

[George]

For the love of God, what time is training?

Yeah I stand pretty close to them, they seem pretty tight almost as cliquey as some PM groups on here

For the love of God, what time is training?:

11:30am

 

[Dr Spaceman]

For the love of God, what time is training?

Butler
Hayes
Caminiti
Crouch
King
Van Es
Phillipou

Are these the players that have injury watches over them to varying extents?

Caminiti looks fine going by the repeat runs he was doing today?

We need to talk Keeler.
I consider him the second most talented player taken in the Pou draft.
Though to be fair to Van Es and Hotton, we have seen very little of either.
With Pou, he shares tremendous upside and X factor.
Skilled, exciting.
But I really don’t know if he is suited to either KPF, KPD or Ruck.
Yes, that’s what his physique and under age career would suggest.
However, I fear that we will not see his true potential if he is pigeonholed into these roles.
As I watched him today, it struck me that his key qualities are: mobility, agility and evasiveness.
He is not naturally physically strong nor bulky.
Though the last two characteristics are attainable through hard work.
And might allow him to play the KPF, KPD and ruck roles.
But is the physicality and bulk going to be at the expense of his mobility, agility and evasiveness?
He did a wonderful sidestep in the middle of a pack this morning, worthy of any evasive midfielder.
I would hate to see us take him down a more traditional development route and then miss out on seeing a unique player.
Maybe that is the issue that saw him drop down the rankings and for Adelaide to pass on him?
He’s a round peg needing a round hole, is this where Carroll earns his wages?
Because I can see him being an absolute weapon and very hard to negate.
Given the right development.
Thoughts?

Joffaboy....the Brains Trust group have a long long way to go to get as tight and cliquey as some of the PM(almost Mason's type) groups on here.

Sounds like an ideal candidate for development as a key position player who can relieve in the ruck. We don't really have an ideal one of those yet.

For anyone wanting coffee on Friday, there is a good cafe opposite the train station.
Was the go to milk bar/ Cafe for all the fans walking from the station to Linton St back in the day.
Beware that it is now a typical hipster Cafe ruined by the woke loony left

On SM-S908E using BigFooty.com mobile app

You sure they will be open ? F so, They'll probably charge a holiday surcharge.

No need to worry about a 2nd year tall just yet. Picked in the 3rd round on talent, see where it goes.

Did it to me a few weeks back. And his big boof head is stopping me rolling down the page yet again. Firstly on Chrome. Then on Edge. Now Chrome working again.

The video on Saints Instagram seemed to show Pou back on the track today. Can anyone confirm?
