and Butler and Hayes. No fluoro caps sighted today and good to see Dow getting some running blocks in.

Wood running laps and Hill left the track towards the end after speaking to doctor and physio. Didn’t look serious.

Sincs needs to get through Thursday and if he does convincingly, will play.

 

[archiemoses]

Hill seemed to have a lower leg injury but is ok according to the club doctor.
Windhager and Crouch look ready to go, Hayes & Butler back in full training..Sinclair training & moving freely but will be interesting if he’s in for round 1.
Mattaes back in full training and moving very well.

I was thinking even if he could get up for sat , if that meant he had to sit out the following game 5 days later then wouldnt you just wait ? Not sure.

With Sincs and Battle in, that backline would look sooo tasty.

If he’s well managed in the Geelong game there’s no doubt he can back up for the Collingwood game!

Any Battle sightings?

Super supersub maybe

No one plays round 1 under Ross underdone or not 100% ready.

Thursday will be a pretty big session from what I was told.

Any Battle sightings?

I read on Twitter Battle and Sinclair didn't train with the main group. Differing info around.

Sinclair trained fully today.

If he pulls up okay and then gets through Thursday - which will be an intense session.

He will play.

They are not prioritising one game over the other. If Sinclair can play - which they have been confident in since I first said it (roughly a month ago). He will play.

Crouch looks good. Pou seemed fine.

Windy will be borderline.

Not expecting Butler.

Wilson/ Schoenmaker potential debutants.

He was joking that the boys are over to doctors and Physios the week of round 1 when their hair doesn’t sit right

Everyone gets very nervous. They all want to play

Absent due to a personal matter…will no doubt train Thursday

[PoppedCorn]

No way titanic goes in the ruck over owens
Owens much better when the ball hits the deck and goats much better at kicking goals

 

[g_TRAIN]

Nice to see Jones available in round 1.

That might be a first

 

[Leigh58]

Come on give him some credit , he also did the occasional spin manoeuvre that always tricked everyone including himself

I have nightmare thoughts from time to time about a future date in late September at the MCG.
The Saints are less than a goal behind in the last minute or two. Strangely, Doogs is free in the forward line and grabs the ball.
He spins around in a circle to try and outsmart the opposition & gets caught holding the ball.
It's a surreal moment that seems to last a minute or so.
Long suffering saints supporters are in tears as the siren sounds & the two hands of the field umpire are raised high in the air. Doogs slumps to the ground as the constant renditions of the opposition club song repeats over and over again!

Please don't ever say that again it's it quite possible it could happen

I’ll be off to start a new life as a Sherpa in ******* Nepal if that ever eventuates in real life

 

[tenderwarrior]

Will Jack Hayes ever play again???

What is the go with Max Heath?

 

[g_TRAIN]

What is the go with Max Heath?

Hopefully, someone else can answer this as I wouldn't mind knowing as well. He hasn't been listed as injured but missed both VFL practice matches and seems to have done a lot of just running at training.

A few have speculated myself included that he's been asked to improve his aerobic capacity before he plays any footy.

Ross has set some very high standards around running with this group

 

[Otiman]

Last year showed that you pick your fittest side and back them in.

Once we got late in the season and started playing some players that weren't quite 100% we dropped off.
