Training 2024 Preseason reports and discussion

He explained on the Talking Hawks podcast last year that he got the nickname Croc when at Hailebury College as he resembled an older student who’s last name was Crocker and it has stuck ever since

Even stupider nickname

How dare someone give someone else a nickname without running it past The Coathanger 1st

That story makes it even worse

It wasn't run past me either. I'm outraged.

Been away but my son attended training last Thr. Asked him for an update and said that Chol stood out the most and he’s really liking Dimma down forward. He is so into it ……. like father like son

 

[threesixpio]

That story makes it even worse

I thought it was saying Connor MacDonald really fast a hundred times or so and it turns into croc but I tried it about ten times and it ended up being Macron …you know like Emmanuel ?




I lead an interesting life….

 

[threesixpio]

He kind of looks like a crocodile. He has a long face. And slightly scary eyes. Is that just me?

 

[threesixpio]

heck preseason

 

[Mercy Seat]

The origin story of 90% of the nicknames are just as dogshit.

Frenchy because he studied French at school...

Dimma because there's a coach in the AFL with the same surname who once ate a heap of dim sims....

I think you will find he lived in France would be the reason

 

[Mississippi]

Not forgetting the silliest one of all -
Nathan "Gazza" Lyon because there happened to be a footballer called Gary.

 

[tl92]

John Horse Longmire because…

 

[Mr Lizard]

"Bunghole"

 

[peetoo]

John Horse Longmire because…

Long face, huge…appetite

 

[eldorado]

Why do you ask, Two Dogs?

 

[JZedd]

Can someone direct me to Pre season thread?

 

[Big Hotdog]

Can someone direct me to Pre season thread?

Not until you tell us why Jzedd?

 

[Mr Lizard]

Can someone direct me to Pre season thread?

I think it is in Torquay this week

 

[threesixpio]

Can someone direct me to Pre season thread?

Looks an awful lot like a preseason thread to me.

 

[Jane Doe]

Boys off to Geelong for a few days.

 

[TylerDurden]

Camp in Torquay.

 

[I got the outside word]

Real tough day at Torquay Sands.

 

[rei154]

I really hope the social media team brings us the goods during the camp.
Perfect time to pump content out, well spaced between this and practice matches

We can't have two players called Frenchie.

I would embrace "Croc" if he had maybe wrestled one.

talking to the press today - 2 months before the start of season - on the first day of Torquay training camp.

"We’ll take each week as it comes ... "

Sorry James, quoted a little bit out of context but cant resist it

 

[burger09]

Camp in Torquay.

Perfect. Ginni will be able to show the boys around.
